The weather is on the side of the people

[claig]

Chucking it down in the East of England. Storms last night. Senior Remain campaigners phoning in minute by minute weather updates to Brussels. To say there is despair among the elite is to do the English language injustice.

Brexiters were out in force, soaked to the skin, some were being carried to the polling booths. As we said "good morning" to each other, there were mentions of "Independence Day" with laughs and winks.

Some Brexiters looked to the Heavens as they chucked down rain upon us and smiled. The Heavens were on our side.

Detestable, I want Leave to win. The most determined will brave the wild winds, the deafening thunder and crashing lightning. When the going gets tough, the Brexiter gets going.

So your championing of the people is faux?

That's me and my partner voted remain :)

It's The People, detestable.

The people (with a lower case 'p') can vote of course, but The People will overcome all to put their mark on the ballot.

You should be a poet claig

How about this for a title? "The Mighty Charge of the Bold Brexiteers"? I've written the first verse:

"Thro' wind and gales and driving rain
Marched the bold Brexiteers
Naught would stop their brave crusade
To drive out the scourge of Bremain"

So basically Claig, they are saying that if it was sunny the leave camp he didn't have a chance? Doesn't look great for you.

'So your championing of the people is faux?'

Absolutely not. We know that Cameron and the crew are for Remain and many of the people have defied the crew and the experts, have taken pens to polling booths, and a little thing like the biggest storm and downpour of the summer won't stop them.

Truly bizarre.

I didn't know Farage was an MNer.

Flippinada, that's ace!

Thank you Mango. I'm glad someone likes my little poem. I think it's up there with McGonagall, personally.

I don't get it. I went and voted - in fact I was the first at the polling station. I'm remain so..er I AM ALSO A BRAVE PERSON.

When the going gets tough, the Brexiter gets going

great thread claig.

Very good start flippinada

Like buccaneers on the Spanish Main
Brexiteers braved the wild and violent rain
As flood waters surged, Independence Day urged
The Brexiteer to conquer fear as the polling deadline drew near

They came from the flatlands, they came from the hills
Pens in hand, no foul weather could break their wills
As they approached the polling stations, they knew their work was done
For tomorrow would be Independence Day, a day of revelry and fun

You're wasted on here claig!

I'm wasted. I'm on my second bottle.

Actual lol at "pens in hand"

Am never disappointed!

It is the gods holding the hands of the Brexiteers & offering the heavens in all their fury as allies...

It is Mango there is so much more at stake here, the heavens are on our side

Let me get this right, you're hoping that the rain will mean a lower turnout, so that your side wins? Isn't that a bit undemocratic for someone who claims to be on the side of 'the people'?

Lol Roses!
This thread has kept me entertained today, I love Claig threads

Here's another one. I call it "The Battle of Bremain"

News broke out across the land, the polls say Brexit is nigh
Among Bremainers the call went out - now heed our battle cry
Our job, our homes, our land - it could all be lost
So get thee to the ballot box and vote at any cost

I have no idea if anyone is reading these but I had fun writing them

Excellent flippinada. They are great poems and funny too.

LOVE the works of poetic genius. Very Lord Tennyson in vibe.

Claig, are you always on your second bottle?

Aww thanks folks :)
