I really dislike foreigners, with their own agenda, interfering with the result of the Brexit vote.

bloody foreigners

When asked about a possible second referendum, she replied that she thought that would be “a complete waste of time” and reiterated her view that parliament should engage in “a grown-up, sober debate and then a vote.”

whats the point in us voting in the first place if they go with the above

We can still have Brexit, Ron Russian, but with the added benefits of free EU emigration and hospitality, free access to the single market, and booting out the freeloading UKIP MEP's. What's not to embrace?

Whatever happens this will make a cracking film one day.


As for me, it's amusing to see those accusing me a couple of days ago of projecting and not basing my opinions of incontravertible fact are now so sure this will mean parliament will kick brexit out.

Long way to go yet. In fact, it takes me back to a few of my pre-referendum posts on how this decision was actually multi-nuanced and should be down to politicians who are schooled in debating it and reaching an appropriate conclusion rather than a mass populace so easily swayed by what's on the front page of the S*n or the Mail.

Second point obviously is that this is a point of law, so talk of betrayal and unpatriotic behaviour etc is a bit rubbish in the face of so many years of legal precedent and all that. Let's just see what happens next.

As an aside, if they called a second referendum tomorrow for a couple of months' time how would you price it up? I think given the number of voters who thought they were giving the EU a bloody nose but no more, and those who didn't realise the potential downsides to leaving added to the large number of young people who ordinarily don't bother to get out and vote but will now be shocked into taking part then the odds for remain would be very low indeed.

Schooled in debating it? You mean like the wee Scottish lassie, aged 20, who was elected as a Westminster MP last year? Two years out of school but more competent to decide the future of Britain than the great unwashed?

Id suggest the majority of Brexit voters knew exactly what they were voting for,
the question mark would be over a fair percent of the thick as sh1t Remainer voters,
like the likes of that Holly! remember,

that brexit voters never realised what they were voting for was just invented by bad
losing remainiac's

When they go low, we go high! Excited

I look forward to Sturgeon's reaction when today's legal precedent is used to allow the UK Houses of Parliament to debate and vote on the terms for any Scottish exit from the Union in the event of any future referendum resulting in a 'yes' vote.

You back up my point ron: the general public weren't qualified to make this decision. As you yourself prove time and again there are far too many people in this country who are eligible to vote but couldn't boil an egg. In my opinion, this decision shouldn't have been put before them.

Only now, in the weeks since, the unravelling, the pound collapsing (while the Euro remains strangely buoyant in comparison), businesses threatening with abandoning these shores and demanding sweetheart deals to remain, the rule of parliament being undermined before the courts intervened (what is more "taking back control" than a UK court ruling that the UK parliament must decide on what our exit entails), foreign citizens being threatened with being treated as second class citizens (EU citizens used as bargaining chips, foreign doctors being told they can stay until we train our own) and finally the rise in the acceptance of some appalling attitudes and diatribes being openly aired since the summer as if the result of the referendum gave legitimacy to opinions that otherwise would not have been countenanced by fellow Brits... only now is it becoming clear that the vote to leave actually had tangible and real  repercussions. Life maybe wasn't going to be hunky dory. Our streets weren't all going to be a permanent '77 jubilee reconstructions, maybe all that money wasn't going to the NHS but was going to be spent on tax breaks for multi-national corporations, maybe the EU wouldn't bend over backwards to offer us a great deal to trade with them and maybe we couldn't in fact have our cake and eat it after all.

Ron, I honestly don't expect you to appreciate all this so don't worry yourself too much. Just go back to your "it's all the fault of everyone else" websites and feeds and march yourself to sleep. This post isn't for you really. For everyone else, I'd say that this isn't a done deal anyway. Not by a long stretch. This is merely to discuss how we do it and there's an appeal looming. I'd maybe say that the benefit of having a democracy is that it is fluid and reactive. We are not bound by one decision but are able to analyse it and criticise it afterwards and correct it if necessary. That's what Parliament can do.

I like to respect ALL  opinions.  However I think those 3 traitors should be dragged to the wool sack, given a fair trial, then executed for treason.  They are europhiles or euphiles to a man.

How do you boil your eggs mobo?

My method for a soft and creamy egg( the Cleggy eggy ) is:

I bring a small pan of water to the boil.
Gently lower the eggs in the pan of boiling water.
Boil the eggs for 2 minutes and the remove the pan from the heat.
Cover the pan for 5/6 minutes, leaving the eggs in (obviously)
Take the eggs out of the pan and place into your egg cup of choice
Eat with a small spoon.

It cannot work forever because it becomes the victim of its own freedoms and success, which attract people from different cultures and different countries.
Other countries are not like England, they look on and are amazed that we can govern ourselves subject only to our own judgement and upright character.
This is impossible in the vast majority of countries throughout the world.
And when there is mass immigration the balance of a country shifts, and eventually is destroyed.
This has happened always throughout history, and is happening now in Britain.
