    Brexit vote

    So, it turns out that it wasn't just Brexit vote - according to Mrs May:

    "When the British people voted in the referendum last June, they did not simply vote to withdraw from the European Union; they voted to change the way our country works – and the people for whom it works – forever. It was a quiet revolution by those who feel the system has been stacked against them for too long – and an instruction to this Government to seize the opportunity of building a stronger, fairer Britain that works for everyone, not just a privileged few."

    I have not see that option on my ballot paper

      Nowt to do with the Brexit vote as such but I do think there is a growing mistrust of governments in the West, a feeling that it is all about big business, the wealthy and the powerful pushing their agendas while ignoring the effects on ordinary people. That's why we now have Trump and possibly, will get Le Pen.

        Its like B'liar all over again, next we will see uncontrolled immigration, backhanders & invasion of countries based on lies.

        Every politician interprets a vote in a way convenient to them.

              You could either vote for:
              a) They win
              b) You lose

              You're like a turkey voting for Christmas but you clearly hadn't figured that bit out.

                Voting No to Brexit would not have lead to current tulipy situation!

                We are in deep tulip now because of people who voted Yes, the sooner they realise it the better!

                  You could end up in a different pile of tulip if you remain in Europe. Turkey will be handing out passports to anyone crossing their border from the east if they get let into Europe.

                  What we need to do is to become a less attractive destination to economic tourists.

                    We are remaining in Europe, and Turkey is already in Europe (some of it anyway).

                    Brexit will take care of that.

                    This story is just another reminder that voting for Brexit was a vote to give the so-called establishment more power over us.
