Here's a handy reminder of what the government promised in their remain propaganda leaflet....
.... obviously, if Remain had won you would be fine if they reneged on that promise and said we were leaving .. after all the referendum was only advisory.
Jacob Rees-Mogg and Farage both said a second referendum would be required if it was only 52% Remain.

If the Libs get in it won’t be that Government.
I’m very much on the fence on the position, but if you are confident the country hasn’t change its mind why are you worried?

I knew it was advisory in 2015 when the Referendum Act was passed in Parliament. It's called keeping up with current affairs.

Have you noticed how the language has changed? A year ago, leavers kept going on about a once in a LIFETIME referendum, until they realised there are some oldies like me who voted in the referendum of 1975. Now it is a once in a generation.
Tbf both sides are moving to goal posts
The whole lot need to go
We are becoming a laughing stock on the world stage
This whole board is full of rubbish ffs, unless it’s match day, moderators shouldn’t publicly express their opinion, that way they can successfully moderate, If they do want to get busy then don’t be a moderator!

It's looking more and more likely that it'll be once in a decade...
We have given extra overtime this and next week in case they go under.
The deal is in danger

absolutely. they are the ones that passed legislation to have a referendum and having the result to enact it. then decided they arent quite sure about what to do next.
trouble is, another election just returns most the same people. shame we cant vote "none of the above " force new candidates for a complete clean slate.

I think Chappers may have been talking about a principle laid down 70 years ago::
"We hope to see a Europe where men of every country will think as much of being a European as of belonging to their native land, and that without losing any part of their love and loyalty to their birthplace. We hope that wherever they go in this wide domain, to which we set no limit in the European continent, they will truly feel ‘Here I am at home. I am a citizen of this country too’."
(As an aside, my first granddaughter was born last week, a subject of the Queen and a citizen of Europe, a glorious combination that will stay with her for, as things stand, the first six weeks of her life. And then it will end, to the cheers of the Brexiteers no doubt, and a stirring in the grave by the man who wrote the words above.)

I work in merchant disputes for a bank. We too are watching closely.
Issue is most planes are our non TC flights are rammed, so if they do go some people will be in for a long wait to get home.
Do you think the take over will happen?
I’m not so sure, companies will love to get some of the company and strip it.

We normally travel TUI, Thomson that was and I was speaking to one of their guys who said they have been really hit badly by this 737 issue and they are having to borrow planes all over the place. We went to Corfu on a TUI plane and back on a Norwegian crate! Friends just came back from Italy on a Tulip Airlines...I have never even heard of them! a
