    Didn't realise Juncker was a member of the UK government, maybe that's where you went wrong by not knowing exactly who or what you were voting for...
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      You didn't vote for Mark Sedwill either. Heads of the civil service are not normally appointed through elections.

        You asked me whether I voted for whoever caused the current mess. And I was being ironic. But only slightly...

Personally, I thought we'd end up with something similar to the Swiss arrangement (EFTA but not EEA), because that seemed to make the most sense.
          Unfortunately, the charlatans of the Leave side saw their chance and they took it. Despite campaigning on ideas of “Norway”, etc, almost as soon as the result came in the clamours were for ever-harder Brexit.

          You might think EFTA makes sense, but there’s no-one left on the Leave campaign side that supports this openly. To them, it’s no longer their “pure” Brexit.

          You’ve been conned, and you still don’t see it.


          The critical thing is that we leave though, and if that means "no deal", so be it.
          After three years I still don’t understand this position. “Leave on EFTA” is at least a reasonable position to take, but “Leave at any cost” is simply cretinism - you might as well be in a cult, you’ve been brainwashed by the ERG types that much.

          Out of interest, do you support the WA? That also satisfies your position of “the critical thing is that we leave”.

            The closer we get to leaving, the more desperate you twunts become!

            How about we hold another referendum 10 years after we've left? Does that sound fair to you?

              Many leavers didn't know what they were voting for and have changed their minds since they've discovered what it's all about, so it would be sensible to have a second referendum now.

                Nothing desperate about it. I’m already on record as saying I support the WA, so if it was up to me the U.K. would have left by now.

                It’s the ones like yourself that want to leave while doing the greatest harm to your own country and people that I don’t understand.

                  No. Absolutely, categorically, no.

                    I'd be tempted to vote remain now, so that I can retire to France or Spain and be a burden on their health and social support systems later in life...

                      That old chestnut, eh? I call bulltulip on that one, the question was there in front of them in black and white.
                      Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?

                      The two choices were...
                      Remain a member of the European Union
                      Leave the European Union


                      The referendum didn't come out of the blue, there was a build up with bulltulip being spouted on both sides.

                      People who voted to leave demonstrated that they would not accept being a part of the European Union any longer.

                      If you weren't willing to accept the result, why did you vote?
