"Absolutely no one is threatening to leave the single market"
"Only a madman would leave the [single] market" "LMAO, that Open Britain video you just posted a link to has already been debunked. 
On the BBC Sunday Politics programme Andrew Neil did an interview with James McGrory of Open Britain, and Andrew Neil systematically took that video apart piece by piece as a complete misrepresentation of the facts and what was said. Here is a link to the Andrew Neil interview with James McGrory of Open Britain on the Sunday Politics programme......
www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT8fkefynzM
Now after watching the Andrew Neil interview on the subject of your video how on earth you expect anyone to take your Open Britain video seriously is anyones guess.
It was car crash television for Open Britain and James McGrory, you can slowly see James McGrory's head slowly boiling during the 10 minute interview and by the end looks like his head is about to explode
You Remainers have the gall to suggest the vote leave campaign misrepresented the facts, and then you post a link to an Open Britain video that misrepresents what people said and is a distortion of the facts. Unbelievable! | |||

Its clear from watching them in context that they are advocating the benefits and advantages of staying in the single market. A position they have now done a U turn on. | |||

"Secondly as a leave voter I knew exactly what I was voting for. I voted to Leave the EU and the single market." Here is the nub of the problem. Despite the rest of your comment which I deleted, you did not vote for that at all. You voted to leave the EU. You were not asked for your vote on the single market or anything else. Of you really thought that you were actually voting for that then this is very worrying. | |||

On a simplistic basis we voted to leave the EU and the single market . We all knew exactly what we were voting for . If the EU drop the open border policy and reduce our contribution in addition to not enforcing EU law on us , we might consider keeping the single market . | |||

"£70bn of monetary policy measures, announced by the bank of England a few months ago, and £122bn of fiscal policy measures announced by the chancellor a few days ago.

There is a point of view that suggests that instead of victory through war dominance is now through economics If one NATO member attacked another, NATO couldn't do a thing to help actually, because support has to be unanimous." As usual you just ignore the point of a post, but to answer your point if in the almost unimaginable prospect of one nato country attacking another of course the rest would respond as the attacking country would no longer be deemed a member, now answer my questions | |||

It wasn't illegal He didn't need the "will of the people" he didn't even need the will of parliament, but he still asked and got their approval. The power to declare war is part of the royal prerogative powers that have been passed from the monarch to the PM. | |||

If a country is attacked, it can't unilaterally invoke Article 5 (collective defence). Only the North Atlantic Council, the civilian oversight to NATO, can invoke Article 5, and it has to be by unanimous decision. This is now considered to be one of the major weaknesses of NATO for a number of reasons, but I don't want to stray too far off topic. Your suggestion that the member states of the ECSC and then subsequently the EU simply got bored of war I find quite simply rubbish. Especially as many of the countries still have very active militaries that are deployed in war zones around the world and have been for decades. The important thing is that they are not fighting each other, which was the point of the ECSC in the first place. | |||

Blair and Bush had already decided to go to war before they knew of any intelligence on Saddams so called weapons of mass destruction. After the findings of the Chilcot report in July 2016 The house of commons debated on Tony Blair being in contempt of parliament for what he did. | |||

Blair pushed for more faith schools which has given the hardliners and extremists the opportunity to create even more tensions and fault lines in our society. Living standards rose, as they have done since the War but under Blair the gap between the poorest and richest grew for the first time in decades. | |||

I didnt say they got "bored" of fighting each other I said they got fed up of the fighting and pointless killing,the country that started both the WW's had been divided in half and was in no position to start a third war and the whole of the western world had a common foe to worry about that had never happened before and again it is NATO that has kept the peace. One other point, which power is it that has been trying to push its influence east ? That has caused a lot of tensions and of course now we have the EU bosses want to create a euro army in all but name | |||

When Theresa May triggers article 50 please feel free to post a thread about it on here saying "I told you so". "Article 50 is the start, not the end of the process. I'm actually becoming less and less convinced that article 50 will be triggered in March. What I really don't understand is why the Government doesn't just get on with it and put an Article 50 vote before parliament rather than wasting time in the courts, possibly even ending up in the European Court of Justice. Every day that goes by from the referendum result lessens the vote leave mandate and increases the likelihood that an Article 50 vote won't get through parliament. | |||

" Not everyone one who wants to remain is a limp wristed left winger. In fact I'd say the most constant supporters of the EU and Britain remaining in it are actually the pragmatic, economically right of centre, conservatives.

" The European court of human rights would have no control over us when we leave the EU and tony Blair's human right act is discusting and must be scrapped as it favours people who do not deserve human rights in mine and many others view. Do you not understand that without human rights legislation you would not be able to flounce around in a dress without being beaten up by the police?" There is a lot of confusion between the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union - they are separate bodies ratified through different international Conventions. The CJEU rules on whether governments have infringed EU Directives and it is that court which will no longer have oversight once we leave the EU. Leaving the ECHR would require withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights - which was not what the Brexit referendum was about - although the UK government has threatened at times to withdraw when judgements went against it, for example on the voting rights of prisoners in UK custody. | |||

When will leave voters accept that 37% of the country does not have the right to force the other 73% down a rout that they don't want to go down.

"Still not meet anyone that voted leave that would change the way they voted You need to get out more then. Whilst I would agree that most leavers would probably still vote leave it only takes 1 in 50 to change their mind for the result to be 52% remain and 48% leave. Of the people who I know that voted leave I'd say well more than 1 in 50 thinks they may have voted the wrong way. Of the people I know who voted to leave still believe they voted correctly the first time and moreover the people ive spoken to who voted to stay have actually said they were ok with the outcome but now don't want to wait for 2 years to leave and should be done asap because as soon as we leave others will follow. For those who truly want to be part of Europe with non of the benefits being in the uk gives them feel free to use dover ferry ports ........... but youll be back before Merkel says your not welcome here ! The benefits I get outside the UK are much larger than in the UK. Happy to be in Europe. The issue is people are misinformed on what goes on in the continent. Or maybe there are only benefits from the EU who are already better off. It is a capitalist world to be fair. Maybe Brexiters need communism. Bring power to the people. We don't want the EU meddling in our business. Make Britain great again. Brexiters in the forum sounds too much like the Cuban revolutionaries."

Not everyone one who wants to remain is a limp wristed left winger. In fact I'd say the most constant supporters of the EU and Britain remaining in it are actually the pragmatic, economically right of centre, conservatives.

When will you be able to add up to 100?
Probably didn't put the "X" in the right box either. This is something that seems to be a problem with remain voters - their inability to count "Long before you learn how to put a sensible point across. But 63% works just as well as for me. | |||

Or are you just trying to throw mud at anyone who won't go along with your reckless ideas to bankrupt your own country and put millions of British peoples jobs at needless risk just so you can pretend you're some sort of national patriot. | |||

All irrelevant really as Labour have said they will support the triggering of article 50 either way should it be required to bring it before parliament." Which does beg the question of why the hell doesn't the government just get on with it and the place a vote before parliament rather than creating more delay and uncertainty? Even more bizarre is the fact that a lot of leavers seem to be backing this unnecessary delay. They don't seem to realise that if article 50 is not triggered correctly and in accordance to law then legally it's not actually triggered at all. Even more worryingly, as article 50 is part of European law, not UK law, even if the government wins in the Supreme Court, the final legal arbitrator and court for this matter is the European Court of Justice, so it could be delayed for years. I'm not in favour of us leaving but if we must leave then it must be done correctly and in accordance to both due process and law. As to your argument that we left the EC and joined the EU using prerogative powers - it's both untrue and irrelevant. The EC became the EU, in law there is no difference. EU law only has effect in this country because of the 1972 European Community Act. While that remains we are still bound by EU law and only a vote in parliament can repeal it. | |||

The EU design is that different national interest groups and elites will shift their loyalty away from national institutions toward the supranational European institution. This is intended to lead to an establishment of elite groups in member countries holding pan-European ideas and norms. These groups will have loyalties to supranational co-operation and not to the national interests of the countries they are from. Basically, just up Blairs street | |||

" Brexit was voted for by a majority. It HAS to be delivered" No it doesn't. A responsible government will act for the good for as near 100% of the population as possible. That means of course taking on board those who voted for Brexit, but also being mindful of those who voted against it, those who used their democratic right not to vote and those who could not vote despite paying taxes and having no opportunity to have their say. We have Parliamentary democracy in this country and long may it continue. | |||

"Hopefully it will be stopped Traitor
Because I don't want to see my countrymen get poorer or stripped of their rights, sure. However we will be better off when we leave . We will save our contribution to the EU and have border control.
Jaguar have just announced 10000 new jobs .
By voting leave we have substantially enhanced our negotiation powers with EU members .
Manufacturers in Germany are putting pressure on their government to protect the trading relationship with Britain. Germany sells more cars to Britain than any other country in the world .
We can now negotiate from a position of strength.
Pat, we haven't left yet at its cost us £192bn already. Hello..Where does that figure come from. It is a lot of money. Can we ask for it back.?
£70bn of monetary policy measures, announced by the bank of England a few months ago, and £122bn of fiscal policy measures announced by the chancellor a few days ago.
It is indeed a lot of money, but that's just the start, I guarantee you its going to get a lot more expensive yet. "Is this not like me sending H Xmas shopping on her own? "How much you spend?" "No clue" "Got receipts?" "Some, lost some" "Roughly then?" "£300ish, maybe" "I'll leave £600 in the account" So they are "measures" money put in place if needed.. Tony Blair, huh huh, I'd sooner believe someone that said the world was going to end tomorrow.. Whether i'm an inny or outy doesn't matter, The vote was taken , out won, it was democratic, so now stfu & get on with it.. Just as an aside, Everyone was saying think of future generations, well the students screamed "You stupid old people have ruined our futures" at the same time as figures released showed less than 30% of their age range bothered to vote, their futures weren't stolen from them, they gave them away through apathy.

And the democracy of the people.... You should check your facts. The referendum was advisory and therefore nothing to legally abide to other than to "hear" what a small majority wanted. There is no precedent in any kind of law to mandate wholesale changes to the population of a country because 26% said that it was what they wanted. You have to have been living under a rock for the last six months not to have known that. Yet you and other fab tories seemed perfectly happy when the Conservative party won the general election and govern the country on only around 30% of the national vote. Plus if you remember the £9 million taxpayer funded pro EU propaganda leaflet sent out by Cameron and the government to every house in the land it said inside that leaflet that the government would deliver on the result of the referendum. " Yes it did. | |||

Is that not like saying that you should get bank interest even though you had no money in your account . It simply does not make any sense . | |||

"Except that any MP (who is a represenative of the people) who attempts to block brexit risks losing their seat in 2020. " That's why I think if Brexit is going to be blocked "which I do" then it won't come from the MP's, it will be through the unelected House of Lords. | |||

It's a long time until 2020 and if BREXIT goes as badly as many fear it will, especially if the government keeps trying to implement it incompetently and counter to due process, you may well find that those MPs that didn't do their job properly and waved it all through are the once the people actually tern against. | |||

It's not irrelevant whether parliament chose to give a binding referendum or an advisory one, it's absolutely fundamental in law. What you don't seem to realise is that if article 50 is not triggered correctly and in accordance with the law them it's simply not triggered at all. Is that what you want? For the government to trigger article 50 and then, maybe two or three years down the line, for someone to challenge it in the European Court of Justice and only them find out that we never actually left. And make no mistake about it, the final arbitrator on Article 50, as it's European law, is the European Court of Justice. I really can't understand why leavers aren't insisting that this whole thing is done in such away that it is absolutely and completely unchallengeable in any court either here or in Europe. It's almost like they're the ones that don't actually want BREXIT to really happen. | |||

The house of Lords can try to block it but they would face a huge public backlash if they did and the House of Commons can over rule the house of Lords anyway. | |||

We have no official written one although there have been calls in recent years to have a one, but then look how the US struggles with trying to amend their gun laws because of thiers
Do you mean we don't have a codified constitution?
Yes its not written down as such,apart from the US which I think we all know does have a written one I dont whether other countries have written ones or not
It is written down. Its just uncodified."
doesn't uncodified mean not written down, or largely not written down? | |||

"I think that there is a very good case for a second referendum. This is based on the fact that within hours of the polls closing the leave campaign were admitting that the claims they had on the side of their battle bus were false and since then many more of their claims have turned out to also be false. However I doubt that there will be another vote because the out vote is beneficial to US Corporate Britain. There is no case what so ever for 2nd vote, it was a simple choice, and if simple decisions are baffling you shouldn't vote at all We voted out, get over it! Move on! Sooner we leave the better And as for Tony Blair he is lying deceitful twat of the highest degree, he only lines the pockets of the sycophantic Blairs He should have been shot as a traitor years back. He is such a snake that he has never publicly had the decency to apologise for those he sent to their deaths Is shooting those that don't agree with BREXIT the next unconstitutional and illegal way BREXITers are going to try and force this unwanted policy on the British people?" The British people voted to leave the EU in a very democratic process, the options were a simple in or out, or was the question on the paper too difficult for some of you to understand | |||

Eh? Personally, I wouldn't condone shooting anyone. The last I heard, the British people voted in a democratic poll to leave the EU. Surely that makes leaving a wanted policy by the majority of voters? | |||

" The British people voted to leave the EU in a very democratic process, the options were a simple in or out, or was the question on the paper too difficult for some of you to understand " What you have said may be true but we have a Parliamentary democracy in this country and it exists to prevent the tyranny of the majority because it represents all of the people. Unfortunately the former Prime Minister put this referendum proposal together in a way that was ultimately going to (and did) critically divide the country. The question was not too difficult to understand, but maybe it is the ramifications of the narrow result of a poorly constituted referendum that is too difficult to understand. A simple in/out referendum carried by a simple majority was quite simply an unacceptable way to present a question that needed highly complex answers almost every one of which has a multitude of different potential consequences. The result of the referendum was presented as having a finality that was not justified because it was not required to have a minimum margin to effect change. For the Brexit process to work, the Brexit supporters must accept that they won the referendum by a majority so small, that before the referendum one Nigel Farage said that if Remain won by this exact margin, it would be unfinished business. A 52/48 split is not an overwhelming majority, it is not a margin that could EVER carry significant constitutional change because in terms of the population as a whole it represents only 26% of the population. Further, the only places in the United Kingdom where there was a significant majority in favour of an action one way or the other, was in the devolved countries of Scotland and N Ireland thereby placing the union of the United Kingdom in jeopardy. The Parliamentary process which was a beacon of the Leave message really now must be respected, now that Leave have won the referendum. There has to be an acceptance all around that the consequences of the referendum result were not absolute and by no means overwhelming. 26% of the population or a small majority of those who voted cannot dictate the future direction of a country by Dictatorship just because they chose not to go in one particular direction. The results of this referendum are being presented in some quarters and by some people with a finality and assurance that is simply not justified. It is simply pointless to make throwaway statements like "the people have spoken" "the will of the people" etc etc without taking a cold, hard look at the reality. This was not a decisive result and because it was not decisive it means that divisions remain and that the country as a whole would not be fairly represented by just 26%. Both sides should take conciliatory positions Otherwise the country will be racked by division for many, many years and will possibly go backwards as a consequence. | |||

Yes or No, does the UK have a constitution? | |||

Leave won so now we must Leave the EU. | |||

The British people voted to leave the EU in a very democratic process, the options were a simple in or out, or was the question on the paper too difficult for some of you to understand " No, but it seems it was far to complex for many BREXITers. The question was simple, do we want to remain in the EU or leave? The answer was to leave the EU, so the government has a mandate to do that but no more. It does not have a mandate to do anything else. It does not have a mandate to leave the European Economic area because that question was not asked; It does not have a mandate to leave the European Free Trade Area (which we, along with Demark, Ireland and Portugal are founding members of) because that question was not asked; It doesn't have a mandate to leave the European Customs Union because that question wasn't asked; It does not have a mandate to remove the right of British citizens to live and work in Europe because that question wasn't asked; and, as there are countries in Europe that are members of all those organisations without being members of the EU (as Nigel Farage pointed out on many occasions) it does not follow that a mandate to leave the EU is also a mandate to leave any of the others. Even if you argue that most of those who voted Leave voted thinking or hoping that the rest would also happen it does not give a mandate for them to happen, as most is not all and with a majority of only 52 to 48, it only needs 1 in 50 who voted to leave to not want some or all of those other things BRECITers are trying to force on the rest of us for there to be no democratic mandate for any of them. | |||

"Secondly as a leave voter I knew exactly what I was voting for. I voted to Leave the EU and the single market. Here is the nub of the problem. Despite the rest of your comment which I deleted, you did not vote for that at all. You voted to leave the EU. You were not asked for your vote on the single market or anything else. Of you really thought that you were actually voting for that then this is very worrying. Why would anyone worry over something like this . ? On a simplistic basis we voted to leave the EU and the single market . We all knew exactly what we were voting for . If the EU drop the open border policy and reduce our contribution in addition to not enforcing EU law on us , we might consider keeping the single market . " If just one person voted who didn't want to leave the single market then your statement is wrong. Do you know 100% that this is not the case? And if you are that sure, why not have a second vote? If you're right you'll get the same result. | |||

"A vote to leave the EU means leaving the single market", thats pretty clear to me so perhaps it isnt the leave voters that are the alledged thick ones | |||
