I ended up getting into some really heated and nasty arguments with life-long friends over the Referendum

Took a step back eventually and realised these people had seen me at my best and worst, some since I was at Primary School. They picked me up when I was down but, crucially, were never the ones to put me there in the first place.

.....and I was going to throw all that away for the outcome of a Referendum?

Well fk me then!

rtb,
stayed up until 4:30 am on the night of the referendum to see it through.

Golf next morning at 9am.  Golf chum of some years was complaining (he was a Remainer, and knew I was Brexit) that people who voted Brexit were thick and racist.

He knows I'm neither but he still ranted.

If it had gone the other way I would just have been disappointed but accepted the democratic vote.

Remainers (it seems) have behaved deplorably.
Report rogerthebutler February 9, 2017 11:23 AM GMT
Agree - I've even had some Remain-friends say, with an absolute straight face that I should 'Allow them to grieve the loss of an ideal', which really betrayed depths of utter wimpiness I'd never detected.

I'd have probably done the same as you too had the result gone the other way, but there is culpability on both sides. Like it or not (and I loathe it), the result has given racist carte-blanche they feel to air their poisonous views in newsgroups and in the wider world. A Brexit, when it comes, must never pander to these people or their ideas - this is Britain, proud of our traditions and culture, but always facing outward to the rest of the world.

Soapbox moment over!

As far as the divide between Remainers / Brexiteers - it is quite serious and nasty at times - basically a 17 people to 16 people split, chances are 50% of your friends / family and colleagues are on the opposite side.

When we finish negotiating with ourselves (not much of a negotiation mind you) and we have to negotiate with the EU who in some aspects will be telling us how it will be - compromises will be made. This could in fact be a good thing and make the whole process more palatable to 48% of the population - so tough EU negotiations may assist in healing the divide in the UK.

It was near enough a 50/50 split. But many who voted to leave are now beginning to realize the implications of their ill though out actions. I'd say it's more 70/30 now.

Brexit poll: Six months on, Brits stand by EU referendum decision
By Richard Allen Greene, CNN
Updated 2035 GMT (0435 HKT) December 19, 2016

London (CNN)British voters would repeat their decision to leave the European Union if the "Brexit" referendum were held today, according to a new CNN/ComRes poll released Monday.

Six months after the UK delivered a result that shocked much of the world, 47% of British adults say they would vote Leave, with 45% saying they would choose to Remain, even though nearly half of them expect the decision to hurt them financially.
The remaining 8% of respondents said they didn't know how they would vote.
On June 23, the public voted to leave the European Union by a margin of 52% to 48%, with the Leave side getting more than a million more votes than Remain.
The CNN/ComRes poll suggests that, despite a slide in the value of the pound and accusations that the British government has failed to set out a clear plan for Brexit, Britons have not changed their mind since they delivered arguably the first sign of the populist wave that Donald Trump rode to victory in the US presidential election in November.
Report Gin February 9, 2017 3:11 PM GMT
"The British public have spoken and it was to leave the EU," said ComRes chairman Andrew Hawkins.
"This poll should serve as a warning to Remain campaigners who want to force a second referendum that the clock cannot be turned back without risking a huge public backlash. Most of the public think the June result should stand and even some 17% of those who believe their personal finances will worsen post-Brexit would still vote to Leave," he said.
The poll results suggest that the British voted with their hearts, not their wallets: Only a quarter of them (24%) said they thought they would be personally better off financially as a result of Brexit.
Nearly half (44%), by contrast, said they personally expected to be worse off financially because of Brexit. The other third (32%) of respondents said they didn't know.

But perhaps surprisingly, nearly half (47%) of the public said they expected the country's long-term economic prospects to be better outside the European bloc.
Just over one in three (36%) said they expected the country to be worse off, while the remaining 16% didn't know.

More than half (55%) of people who responded to the CNN/ComRes poll said they expected immigration to decrease when the country leaves the EU -- a perennial political issue in the United Kingdom.
One in three people (32%) said they did not expect Brexit to affect immigration, and 13% said they did not know.

I think it is fair to say that Brexit is a vote for intolerance.


he means independence. that is what the mighty, noble, confident and forward thinging brexiteers voted for.

as for intolerant - well we have a seething group of people who lost a vote and then demanded another. their seethe continued when they were told that won't be happening. then we have the same people hurling insults all over social media - we just laughed at them. then a chief remainer who in the past has been accused of racism tells the brexit minister to fook off as he offers her a friendly kiss. shes a professional seether. the brexit minister walks away laughing. the remain type in the USA are on the streets because they also lost an election. the rest just look at their seething with bemusement knowing it will change nothing.

over there and over here we have tried to explain how democracy works but they don't understand and/or accept and carry on seething. we try again to explain the concept of democracy in the simplest possible terms - as if we were speaking to a child, but still they just want to seethe and protest. so we must humour them and let them continue with their seething and their marches as we shape the future destiny of our newly independent great nation.

they will thank us in time but for now we must just put up with them stamping their feet, crying and yelling fook off to people. as these types have now for the most part been removed from power and replaced by people who will follow the instructions of the people we will be boom as a nation once the dust has settled.
