Aye I totally agree, The country voted to stay in the European Community in 1975 and that should be binding and permanent.

If the terms and structure of the European Community had remained as they were when we joined, I might be inclined to agree. But the EU is a very different thing - its remit has grown to encompass many more aspects of the day-to-day concerns of individual nations within. So in 2016, we voted about a markedly different institution.
The fact that such a large part of the UK population voted to leave I believe justifies the 2016 referendum. And in that referendum, we saw a clear majority, and in a democracy the minority, however large, does not win the day.
The day the EU becomes a super-state, with a single sovereign government, is the day when it might be reasonable not to allow former individual nations to decide whether or not they wish to remain within it. Even the EU does not dispute the legality, or indeed the validity, of the 2016 referendum. In fact, we invoked EU legislation to leave.

I'm inclined to agree there is a risk of sustained civil unrest if another referendum were held with the option to remain in the EU included. Even the government and police have acknowledged this.
Then, virus, you shall have your party!

So they no longer wish to have access to Europe's largest single insurance market then? What an odd decision.

So we've found them then? The only people in the entire world who are actually informed about what happens after Brexit?

Or maybe it's just anti Brexit propaganda and in reality, they're not deliberately trying to lose access to Europe's largest single customer for insurance, just cos Brexit innit?
Crazy idea I know, but all you add to this thread are constant "look, another company is leaving cos Brexit, so I was right and you lot are all wrong" regurgitation of left wing anti Brexit propaganda.
All they're doing, if the story is to be believed is exactly what all the snowflake millennial are doing - throwing their toys out of the pram, desperate to see it fail, so they can justify losing the vote to their over inflated egos?

This demonstrates how mono-cultural and incestuous the metropolitan elite really is. If the UK were run for normal people all around the country, and not just for the rich London elite, then maybe Brexit wouldn't have happened. London is totally out of touch as your picture shows this well with leave an insignificant minority and remain a rich elite. |

though. 
Is this like that stupid "I don't do politics so therefore do not have a say" advert years ago. I don't vote in elections because I don't agree with the system, also it's another database to be on, and actually the most effective for finding people. The referendum was a special case.
