AIBU to ask if you changed your opinion about Brexit

[Flyingfish2019]

We had a lot of Brexit threads but I think not about this topic. As somebody who does not live in Britain I wonder if you changed your opinion about Brexit now that you heard that a hard Brexit is most likely. Would you vote different if there was a second vote?

I voted leave and would vote leave again

I've not at all changed my mind. Brexit is a disaster capitalist's wet dream. I wonder if that's how Rees-Mogg has kept the little lady barefoot and pregnant; all those nocturnal emissions as he gleefully fantasises about his No Deal Brexit windfall. That's a lotta jiz.

Anyway, I've dug my remain heels in so deep, they're touching magma as I type.

@Tuplip - how would you suggest resolving the GFA issue and protect the UK supply chain?

Looks like most people haven't changed their mind since 2016.

@Parker231

Brexit has made me realise I’m proud not to be British.

Good for you!

I am very pleased for you.

@parker

I don’t know how to resolve that issue. It’s obviously incredibly complex, which is why it’s become a central issue in the negotiations. However that does not make me think the UK should remain.

@summerisgone - I know I’m very lucky to be an EU passport holder (DH and DC’s have Canadian passports)!

As a leave voter your comment is expected!

@funnelfanjo - We can’t live in perpetual limbo, so just rip the bloody plaster off, let’s get on with it on 29th March (even if it means NoDeal) and start putting the country back together again.

So you're willing to break an international peace agreement just to get out of limbo? That will put the UK in an excellent position to make deals with other countries. After all, what's not to trust about a country that renages on an international agreement as soon as it becomes inconvenient.

summerisgone I didn't need it correcting. I think the EU are probably sick of our self important puffed up attempts to whinge our way to some kind of special treatment.

We brought this on ourselves. No way have we been bullied.

No, not at all.

Have just watched with horror the boss of a hospice in the Highlands talking about the lack of availablity of palliative care drugs. No safeguards or back up plan in place.

Having watched my own mother die agonisingly, and suffered PTSD ever since I think this is one of the worst things I've heard about Brexit. I'm sure it'll be brushed off as piffle by Leave voters, much like the incendiary devices in London and Glasgow, the car bomb in Derry, the farmers talking about having to cull an entire year of lambs.

It makes me even angrier tbh, I used to be a very much live and let live but Leave voters enrage me with their arrogance.

Voted leave....and would vote Remain if there was another referendum tomorrow.

It often appears that mumsnet is a propaganda battlefield for the leave campaign. Evidence:

• higher incidence of leave then/leave now or remain then/leave now posters contributing early on in the thread. Greater volume of remain then/remain now or leave then/remain now posters later on in the thread which seems to better reflect the higher proportion of remain supporting posters on MN. Default ordering of MN threads is oldest first.
• requests to move any Brexit related thread away from popular categories such as AIBU
• simplistic statements with little or no evidence from leave supporting posters (e.g. voted leave because EU is undemocratic). Seems atypical for MN posters who often explain and justify their thoughts and actions.
• attempts to promote a bandwagon effect by suggesting that others are moving toward a leave position (with little to no justification). For example, "supported remain but now support leave" often with no explanation or thin justification "because the EU are bullies". Suspect this is an attempt to encourage any waivering remainers (who are commonplace on MN) to join an imaginary swing to leave

Fully aware that many contributors are genuine (e.g. surferjet is a longtime poster and has been a consistent leave supporter) but some posts are suspicious. Anyway at least MN doesn't seem to have a flood of automated contributions (i.e. bots) but suspect that would change if another referendum becomes more likely.

Not changed my mind one bit, voted to Remain. Though never expected the government to be so useless at implementing it and the Labour Party to be as useless as the non-opposition.

@indistinct

I’ve noticed some weird paranoia on mumsnet about leave posters. I once had a mumsnet poster suggest I was fake because my phrases seemed ‘odd’. This is because I had posted in favour of leave. I think she actually thought I was a Russian propagandist or something similar!

This is all because some people post in favour of leave (and not even a majority). Of course for that to be true, at least half of the population must have voted for it. Wait...

Remainers on here say they want to know why people voted leave. They don't. They just want leavers to take a good kicking and accept that they are thick, backward looking racists who didn't understand. I and many others have given our reasons and were jumped on. So stop the bullshit production of 'just give me one reason', it's childish and boring.

I am sure you are delighted to see what you dreamed of being carried out, as are all the other leave supporters.

Voted Leave. Would vote Leave again. Reasons haven't changed.

I'm a well-educated person who works in academia. I'm neither thick nor racist and I deplore the attitude of many Remainers (not a few of whom have shown themselves to be intolerant bigots) .

I voted Leave and haven't changed my mind. Still leave.

Yes I’ve changed my opinion. I voted remain, thinking leaving the EU would be a bad idea. Now I thing it’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

the wine's in France, Italy, Spain, Greece etc etc you know, in bloody Europe

Hmmmm just been to the local wine shop, there is a hell of a lot of good 'cheap' wines on sale from outside the EU. Chile, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and lets not forget the good old UK.

So if after Brexit if France bans the sale of wine to the UK then I will be laughing in their face lol lol lol lol lol.

Can I get paid for posting that I voted Leave? Do I get a bonus for posting that I would vote Leave again?

Sign me up for that..PM me with your T&Cs....and I thought it were only itty-bitty insignificant MN...happy to be proved wrong of course. How much will I get paid?

@doIreallyneedto So you're willing to break an international peace agreement just to get out of limbo? That will put the UK in an excellent position to make deals with other countries. After all, what's not to trust about a country that renages on an international agreement as soon as it becomes inconvenient. I think our reputation is already stuffed tbh thanks to this fiasco. We’ve tied ourselves up in a knot having two fundamentally incompatible positions regarding NI ie GFA and Article 50. We’re shafting Ireland (both sides of the border) yet again. I’ve not seen mention of Gibraltar for months.

Voted leave and without a doubt I would again.

The EU are sick of our attempts too get special treatment a net contributer !!
