Yes I have voted, but I am sick and tired of the unrest, I'm aware there has been a lot of discontent for a long time but its now feeling toxic and I want it to be over one way or the other.

Fair point re Blair - though the Conservative party were hawks and behind the war too.

David Cameron called this EU referendum when he knew most politicians, including himself, didn't think leaving was at all in Britain interests. he gambled our security and the future of our children on personal political gain.

Really confused as to what some of the people on this thread think they have voted for.

How, exactly, have "we" "got our country back"?

back from the bogey man under the bed?

Details Kitsa, mere details. The main thing is is that we've got our country back again. I for one am really looking forward to it being 'great again'. Boris and Gove told us that will happen, so it must be true.

What an exciting time to be alive.

Blair cheated and gambled (no planning for what would happen after Iraq was "liberated") with people's lives. Many see him as a war criminal. It doesn't seem to have done him much harm.
Why did he do it? Probably because it made him feel important to be playing at war with the big boys.

Cameron showed great stupidity and irresponsibility, gambling with the future of his own country, just to fend off his critics for a few years, to give himself more time in power. Again - wanting that status.

I also put some blame on Ed Milliband and on the unions who made him Labour leader. If his brother had become leader, I can imagine him still being leader now, and having won over enough labour voters to win the referendum for Remain. Why do those who are not fit to be leader (Ed and Jeremy) insist on doing the job, rather than putting country and party first? Again, putting self first.

And why did the liberal democrats stand for the referendum - they were part of a coalition government when it was agreed to. Could they not have veto-ed it?

And of course the Remain campaign was an unco-ordinated shambles, run by people who didn't take the risk seriously.

Between them all, they have fucked up our country and its reputation in the world (and the Middle East to boot).

back from where/whom Mitzy?

  • genuine question.
HisNameWasPrinceAndHeWasFunky · 24/06/2016 14:27

sorry just realised you were replying to Kitsa. getting too tired to detect sarcasm properly

I'd still like to know the answer though.

I would too HisName, although I suspect the PR gurus who came up with that soundbite are just as clueless as we are!
