Re: Democracy under threat.

I'll reply to both posts in here, but I feel we're going in circles now, and I don't want to get into a pointless slanging match. I'll try and explain myself a bit more though but I know how difficult it is to persuade someone who's set in their ways (myself included). You also called me intelligent...

Great, absolutely great. This thread has turned into absolute gold. And it turns out my previous couple of posts were correct as well (they've clearly went over all of your heads though, never mind). EDJOHNS says something which is declared "xenophobic" by a few. The conversation is then shut down, ...

Jesus, this really kicked off whilst I've been at work. Shame the Brexit thread had to be derailed like this. EDJOHNS expressed an opinion, and backed it up with evidence. If you disagree with the opinion, then fine, disagree with it. But do so by disputing the opinion and the presented evidence. In...

Re: Democracy under threat.

Re: Democracy under threat.

You can't assert what the majority of the population wants or wanted. We voted to leave. Any assertions like yours above are guesswork at best. And that is the PM's current focus: try and get a better deal, but if not, prepare for no deal as leaving the EU is what the majority voted for. He even tri...

Re: Democracy under threat.

That isn’t what I or the figures said...at all. Of the population who voted leave (obviously they didn’t ask all 52% - as I say we don’t have the data you have to base it on polls) 33% of those people would be happy with an exit which was no deal. If you assume that the 48% remain voters didn’t wan...
