"What I'll say to all remoaners is ...give brexit a chance .if and if is a big word here.brexit doesn't work ,I would put my hand up and say yes we got it all wrong . And if( again ) it does work it will be no thanks to all the doom and gloom merchants who want all the glory for themselves afterwards . the bleating about this ,that and the other beggers belief . you know this country needs a good wake up call .let brexit happen ...see what comes.stop this lunacy " But this is the issue totally encapsulated... “Give Brexit a chance.”... What does that even mean? Why would you want to insist that almost 50% of the country have patience with a process that will negatively impact them in one way, or another - or likely in many ways? You are simply demonstrating an intolerance and lack of acceptance of 50% of your fellow countrymen. This is the very reason why the Govt are fucking things up in a colossal way. The storyline from day 1 ought to have been pragmatism, compromise and reconciliation. But it hasn’t it has been about tubthumping statements about red lines and Idiotic Nationalist jingoism. Nigel Farage famously made to highly relevant comments and as he is very much revered on here by many Leavers, let’s just revisit them. “What is so bad about about being like Norway.” “It would be unfinished business” (when asked about a potential 52/48 Remain result). There will be no winners from the current trajectory and the U.K. is likely to be damaged for decades unless the Govt gets real. | |||

"Well done. Just about sums up what I think . I think our parliament reflects in absolute crystal clear clarity what is going on out there in the real world. We may knock our electoral system but some how or other every time it does the job. This parliament will soon be dissolved and we can have another try to get it right | |||

"I’m not sure anyone knows what a success looks like ? If the EU takes a huge turn we don’t like, maybe we will say thank god we’re not in that. But most measures will be relative to the other path... we won’t know what gdp, employment, Sterling rate etc we’d have otherwise. Even with my example above, we’d not know if we’d have changed things from within. " Of course no-one knows what success looks like. We can’t even agree what we want. The leave camp are so fragmented in all wanting different things that there is no way there will be pleasing them all no matter what rabbit May pulls out of her hat. -Matt | |||

I voted leave but not for this government to make a balls of it. "What he should have done was a proper referendum - with checks and balances - not yes or no! It looked simple on the ballot but it is far too complex. He should have said a clear majority 55%+ either way. As Farage said before the votes were counted "if it's 52/48% it's not over". As for remoaners sabotaging the outcome - how? May is a turned remainer (devout almost), Davis/Raab - brexiteers, Johnson, Fox - brexiteers - not a remainer in sight. Decision makers are all leavers - marches demos are not going to change a thing. What is happening now is reality is setting in - we get what we negotiate - as Fox said "a trade deal with the EU is going to be the easiest in the World " - from a man who has never negotiated a trade deal in his life!"You reap what you sow" | |||

Remoaners remoaning, same shit different day..." Let’s take your comments at face value.... How can the U.K. be treated as an equal to (for example) the United States? It is accepted policy of the USA to dismantle the EU so that the USA can negotiate more preferential terms against smaller, more inferior nations. At the moment, the USA has to negotiate with an equal, when the UK leaves it will be negotiating with a minor partner. You sure this is a good idea? | |||

The pound has tanked - all positives? Trade deals - do you really think they are going to happen the day after we leave? Do you really think that we are going to copy and paste the deals we have now? The other party is going to want more "they hold all the cards" - it us that needs the deal not them. It's just a single deal to them - for us its vital! The financial sector represents 80% of our economy - we don't make that much on these islands anymore - ask Dyson why he doesn't manufacture in the UK - we want too much pay too many benefits - pension etc when he can make in another country at a third of the costs of the UK! We are a service industry because we are good at it one of the best - we gave up on industry in the 1990's. We are a modern economy which relies on an inter connected world which our financial sector needs - UK market is not big enough alone! But you may be right 30/3/19 we will see exactly how the future is going to be - fingers crossed. | |||

A leader of the nation would adopt a consensual approach to bring the country together. But we are lead by someone who cannot even bring her own Cabinet or party together. It makes me even sadder when I think how far ahead in the polls a competent opposition ought to be. The Tories are handing the country on a plate to the Labour Party.

You spout on about democracy "the vote" was your democratic right you won - yes you did! A peaceful demonstration is also a democratic right - when Nigel Farage said we got our country back and nobody died - Joe Cox died! If brexit goes wrong it's all the remainers fault - "how"? Which remained is negotiating the withdrawal agreement and trade deal? Which remainer has the "power" to stop or influence the brexit negotiations? Do you really think a remainer wants to lose their job to prove leave was wrong and be poorer? If brexit goes wrong, if it does, it's as a result of those who voted for it, and those who tried to negotiate it, but more so, those who "sold it" to the 17m. Take responsibility, you were promised something that is not 100% achievable! | |||

It is a monumental failure of government that they have tried so hard to impose their vision of what they think Brexit should be instead of reading the result and delivering on a split mandate.
agree 100% but what can be done now
Just forge ahead and crash out with no deal to give leavers what they wanted...."Another completely wrong assumption of what leavers wanted,why are remainers so ignorant of what people wanted.You are all self scented,selfish and very very narrow minded | |||

"in this leaflet it said " the government will implement the result ".obviously expecting an overwhelming result in their favour to stay . when that didn't go according to plan ,the paper this was wrote on isn't worth the light of day . in effect all referendums are totally pointless " The Government activated Article 50. I believe that is implementing the result of the referendum - to leave the EU. I don't understand your complaint. When the outcome of a binary vote is so finely balanced, it's hardly surprising that one side wants to keep fighting. I imagine if Scotland had voted 52/48 to leave the UK, the 48 would still be out on the streets asking to stay in the union. | |||

"Let's get this right . in 2016 the remain propaganda,leaflet was sent out to every single household in this country paid for entirely by the tax payers . in this leaflet it said " the government will implement the result ".obviously expecting an overwhelming result in their favour to stay . when that didn't go according to plan ,the paper this was wrote on isn't worth the light of day . in effect all referendums are totally pointless You keep voting until you give them the result they who know best expect and demand . This march yesterday shows exactly that .its pathetic .behave like children if you must .each day I want out more and more .the doom and gloom the remoaners predict will happen because they want it to happen And if it does I will not thank you for that .get on with your lives ...if you have one that is .get behind this country .stop this lunacy Each day I want to stay more and more....here's the thing, democracy and freedom of speech allow for dissent. So, no, I won't be silenced. Get used to it, we aren't going away." Democracy is about exepting the decision of the majority however small | |||

"once we have gone from the eu ....how long before the next country leaves... After the seeing it ruin the UK. I would say a very very long time. It hasn’t happened yet, so how has it “ruined the UK?” Things will get better here once we really do leave, and when we start to deal with the rest of the world as equals. That is my prediction, and is just as worthy as any other at this point in time. I have yet to see anything on the contrary, nothing but apoplectic scaremongering, backed up by fake facts made up by remain in order to cause confusion and especially in the financial sector. Remoaners remoaning, same shit different day... General Melchett summed up leavers perfectly. “If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.”" It worked in world war 2 | |||

It is a monumental failure of government that they have tried so hard to impose their vision of what they think Brexit should be instead of reading the result and delivering on a split mandate. From the moment this referendum was called, the issue has been driven by the interests of the Conservative Party. It still is. A leader of the nation would adopt a consensual approach to bring the country together. But we are lead by someone who cannot even bring her own Cabinet or party together. It makes me even sadder when I think how far ahead in the polls a competent opposition ought to be. The Tories are handing the country on a plate to the Labour Party. But Labour seems to be equally weak in the leadership stakes. As a country, we are impoverished in lots of ways. both sides are represented by muppets not MPS .I'd bin every one of them ."  | |||

"Made me laugh, When your own backbenchers say it, and when your cabinet is treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed shit. Brexit is car crash TV, you know whats going to happen and its going to be bad, you want to turn away but you cannot. Everyone is upset, on all sides. It’s fantastique!
But really quite predictable.
What other outcome could there possibly have been with a vote that was virtually 50/50 and the country, Parliament and the Govt split down the middle on the question of Europe? If that wasn’t going to make the future negotiations difficult on its own, Theresa May then inexplicably chose to tie her own hands behind her back by announcing a number of unattainable red lines.
History has shown us many, many times that imposing unacceptable extremes on vast numbers of people will never work and the resentment being displayed by both sides is simply a demonstration that those lessons are not being adhered to. Leavers are agitated that their “Brexit” is under daily attack by those who wish to thwart it and Remainers are fighting to retain the rights that they see that are being unnecessarily removed.

There will be no winners from the current trajectory and the U.K. is likely to be damaged for decades unless the Govt gets real." You talk percentages of acceptance of 50% of our countrymen, but that is grossly inaccurate due to the apathy of non voters and those who chose to not vote. | |||

You spout on about democracy "the vote" was your democratic right you won - yes you did! A peaceful demonstration is also a democratic right - when Nigel Farage said we got our country back and nobody died - Joe Cox died! If brexit goes wrong it's all the remainers fault - "how"? Which remained is negotiating the withdrawal agreement and trade deal? Which remainer has the "power" to stop or influence the brexit negotiations? Do you really think a remainer wants to lose their job to prove leave was wrong and be poorer? If brexit goes wrong, if it does, it's as a result of those who voted for it, and those who tried to negotiate it, but more so, those who "sold it" to the 17m. Take responsibility, you were promised something that is not 100% achievable!" Ms May is a remainer, and she has done a great job of slowing down BREXIT, while making a total mess of negotiations. A lot of what is happening now, is because she would like to stop our independence from happening.. | |||

Because Farage said it wouldn't be over from a leave perspective, therefore its legitimate for remain to have the same sentiment! Exactly the same stance - nothing more! Certainly not criticism but appreciate it's offensive to some leavers. | |||
