TBh my champagne is on ice until well into A50. Too many unknown variables will crop up, I have no doubt whatsoever we will exit, no doubts at all. But I think there will be a down before the up.

I have said before and will say again, the government needs to accept the result and come together now as if on a war footing to get us the best deal.

This is a time to put party politics aside, and get best deal for the UK. The worrying thing is - I suspect some Labour and Lib Dems cant see that far and just want to use this an excuse to stick the boot into the Tories - as they have always done.

I also worry that people like Cleg feel the best deal for the UK is one where we do not leave the EU. How can we move forward united to get the best deal from the EU?

The government needs to pull itself together quick smart and get on with it. Just like the Tories managed to do after that horrific blood bath after the result!

I know a lot of fear remain voters - better the devil you know- type voters and I would say there were far more of these than there were leave voters who voted because they thought we would get rid of all the immigrants or that we would get £350m a week for the NHS.

And.....I totally understand where my DH is coming from, I get how worried he is about work - money - those things worry me too. I understand his fears and why he felt he had to vote Remain.

time4chocolate · 10/02/2017 14:02

Thanks lady for the links, I am back from work now so will try and catch up on that programme either later this afternoon or this evening. I expect it will back up what we have been saying here for some time

My champagne is still on ice but hopefully not for too much longer Smile

I am sure the leavers would admit that if the EU was to collapse due to the success of the hard right in mainstream general elections, that is not going to be good for anybody

Definitely agree.

The rise of the far right hasn't happened in a vacuum though - they are preying on the fears of those who feel they've no voice within the main political representation anymore.

UK has not had that problem to the same extent though, thankfully.
For all the hysteria over UKIP, they are not a far right party - more a one-policy party (as far as most voters are concerned, that is).
Yes, there are horrible individuals within the party & their supporters, but they are not the BNP or the EDL, however much some people desperately try to paint them as such.

And for the furthest right party that we have in the UK with any govt representation, they have only one MP - hardly a rabid rise of the far right, fully supported & sanctioned by the population.

The vote to Leave the EU should not be conflated with xenophobia or racism as it too often is - for most Leavers it was simply a vote to leave the EU & all that it was becoming (including its unraveling).

SemiPermanent · 10/02/2017 14:23

Corcory paid by the word 😂

I've been told it's £50 for every table you post Wrong WinkGrin

boredofbrexit · 10/02/2017 14:27

So. Debs is not one of the Gove harem as her husband voted remain. That only leaves 22 of us.

Corcory · 10/02/2017 14:28

Semi, Wrong - Ha Ha Ha if only!!!

boredofbrexit · 10/02/2017 14:30

Someone on WM has posted a message received from a LibDem peer. The tone is rabid. I thought the Lords were 'esteemed'? He sounds more deranged than any kipper.

SemiPermanent · 10/02/2017 14:36

Have yous seen this load of guff posted on the WM thread?!

Lord Strasburger, Lib Dem MP tweeted this; it's apparently 'typical' of the letters he is receiving.

Seeing as how it's only hardened Remainers that are conducting letter/email/tweet etc campaigns to block Brexit I'm not surprised.

The Brexit Arms - All welcome. :-) :-)

Yes but you are forgetting something.
If we had PR, they would have won 82 seats!

If we're getting paid for posting I hope pictures and tables don't attract premium rates cos I am jealous enough already of everyone else's superior skills Envy
