"The point was to stop UKIP threatening the Tories' majority." Yep!
"Johnson has set a dangerous precedent. If I want to surpass parliament I can." Exactly - and all those glad about it in this instance need to stop and think how they'd feel if such an action were taken that forced through something THEY didn't want to happen.
"What was who playing at?" Brexiters right from the point of pushing for a referendum with NO preparation for the possible outcomes and NOT EVEN organising beforehand what EXACTLY "leave" means - they can't even agree amongst themselves! Remainers position has been clear and unchanging.
"Brexiteers have had very little influence in anything up until July."if THAT were true the referendum wouldn't even have happened! And they've certainty been vocally and legally active throughout the entire farce!
"Live like my grandparents?" All 4 of my grandparents were staunch socialists who fought in a war to PREVENT us from living in an extreme right wing dictatorship led by bigots! They'll be spinning in their graves!
"And idiots have popped onto those threads now and again calling them scaremongers...It is panicking eejits who have had their heads in the sand that cause problems." And STILL on one of the threads discussing this there's been someone going 'the uk govt won't stop imports though' myself and at least one other pointed them in direction of brexit prep threads!
"Actually I live in the Channel Islands." Then frankly I feel you have NO RIGHT To comment as this complete fuck up won't affect you whatever happens!!
"and the Police were struggling to keep control" because their numbers have been decimated. Some posters are assuming those of us saying we think there WILL be riots are saying there SHOULD be riots - that's not necessarily true it certainly isn't for me! My brother and several friends are police officers I am worried there will be riots because they will be expected to deal with them to try and keep people safe and there aren't enough of them for them to be able to do this safely for themselves because of all the cuts!
"#GeneralStrike currently tending on Twitter." Yea I saw that too
"Australia isn't in the customs union" good grief you're reaching!! To the other Fucking side of the world no less! Go look at a map! They are not mainly trading with Europe BECAUSE it's fucking thousands of miles away!!
"That is a ridiculous way to interpret the vote of any single person in national referendum. Direct consequences of that type are unknowable - you might as well claim that voting for a particular political party directly caused the deaths of people. it's totally ridiculous and unreasonable - it's blinkered, bigoted and discriminatory, and anti-democratic." No! It's the Fucking reality for many of us ALREADY in this country!
"I hope the govt budget money to help keep people safe there." Are you really that naive? They don't give a shit about the people of NI
