I ordered a plate of chips but one of the waiters shat on my plate instead. Do I still have to eat it or can I re-evaluate? |

I hear this shit bandied about all of the time. Do you mean the people that voted leave didn't know and that the people that voted to remain all knew their onions?
I find that quite offensive. The most intellectual conversations on the matter that I have had, have been from people who voted to leave.
Oh and no, Immigration was not their main concern. |
Well of course many had no idea what was going on. It would be very unusual to have well educated citizens making informed decisions. This never happens. When you go to vote for a political party, you vote because the stuff they promise sounds alright to you, or the opposition did something that pissed you off before. Next to nobody has the knowledge nor education to fully understand politics, economy and other such areas.
Those who voted for leave did so, because feck Brussels. Those who voted for stay did so because they had an interest in the EU, a house in Spain perhaps, business deals, family members... Both camps knew feck all about what is going to happen and even the educated people now have no idea, as this has never happened before, not in such scale.
The whole referendum was a mistake, regardless of the outcome and I do believe the Brexit referendum will be part of the politiology textbooks for a long, long time. That being said a new referendum would not help.
Leave voters are happy, because they won. Remain voters are pissed because reasons. If this was the other way around, we would have the exactly same threads here, even by Val to tell us all how he and his mates from whatever EU country fought for the future. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

It seems to me, this is purely anecdotal, that the remain camp must be pretty concentrated in a few, very large, social pockets, non of which I ever seem to interact with.
Does anyone, for example, work in an environment, or belong to a social group, who are predominately "remain" ? |
I voted leave, my wife voted remain. 😲 Other than her and 1 other friend - everyone I speak to on the subject was leave.
And of those I speak to - no one has since changed their mind.
Her validation is that she thinks the country will grind to a halt if we leave with a no-deal.
I argue that if it gets to that point - we (as always) will grit our teeth and get on with it. Yes cabbage might cost a bit more. Bothered. Cancel sky and any increase in monthly costs is offset. Simples.

Yes. Remain is overwhelmingly the majority at my uni, both students and staff. Remain is also likely to be the majority in the civil service, schools, NHS etc. Given how big the state sector is that would easily secure them 30% to 40%.

Actually expats in Spain seem to be for Britain leaving the EU. |

I don't know. All i know is that he hasn't threatened a general strike. You claimed he had, and that's not true.

Yes, i know what she said. That's how i know Corbyn didn't.
Quote: | That's not democracy comrade. |
Nor is dishonestly assigning one person's views with someone else's. |
She said this at the Momentum conference, who are basically the pro Corbyn side of Labour. The ones who say all the batshit crazy extreme left nasty stuff he likes, but can’t say personally as it would ruin his chances of being elected.
You know, like all the Jew hating shit. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

So, does that mean students on the campus were actively campaigning ?
More importantly, were students physically going out and voting as a result?
Things have clearly changed a lot since the 90's .... we seemed to spend our time working or $hagging ..... ironically, the former supplied plenty of opportunity for the latter ...
I couldn't think of anything further from my mind as a 22 year old, than poxy politics .... |
Socialism is drummed into them from an early age now.
When Corbyn is now an “act” on stage at Glastonbury, you can see the effect the hardline lefties like Momentum have had over education and media for a generation. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
