To be scared by our apathy?

[Currywurstmitpommes]

Threads on here discussing how best to stockpile food, the government telling us not to panic but at the same time making the kind of plans we shouldn’t see in peace time.

All of this is self inflicted. Largely down to our politicians worrying more about their parties than the rest of us. Austerity making us feel poorer and running down our services. Now the scary reality of next March is getting closer by the minute.

Countries have managed to royally fuck themselves before up by blindly believing the government will sort it out before. Ask yourself do you really believe that all those 650 MPs in parliament are either competent or working in your best interests?

but... its not too late

Many believe it’s a done deal with no turning back. But it can be stopped. Here’s the proof.

Speaking on the BBC Radio Today programme this morning, French Europe Minister Nathalie Loiseau confirmed that the door “remains open" to the UK, and that we could stay in the EU “on the same terms”.

Commenting, Lord (John) Kerr, the architect of Article 50 and a leading supporter of the People’s Vote campaign, said:
“It’s up to us. There would be no price – political or financial – to pay if we took back the Article 50 letter, as the French Europe Minister today confirmed we can.
“The people should have the right to choose. They deserve their vote, once the present negotiation with the EU ends.”

We all need to making our thoughts and voices heard on this. Please dont’t leave it to others - its all our futures and those of our kids.

So write to your MP, sign the facebook petition and take back control!

First of all despair and apathy is wrong. Let's not give up on constructive debate.
I would strongly disagree with any method other than public debate and peaceful marches as that would be a betrayal of the very ideals we want to protect. So no shit stirring please that would only give fuel to some people's desire to lock up traitors...

Leavers are not so polite
in depth research has shown that remainers say please and thank you an average of 8.76 times more than those rude bastard leavers

It's enough that the Brexit board has been completely taken over by Remain do we have to now allow Chat and AIBU to be taken over again? Post Referendum (the legally binding one) posts were moved to an EU Referendum board (now renamed Brexit). A vocal minority has silenced the majority stick to the agreed board please and the rest of us can avoid your wailing.

Vandrew, thats actually made me lol

Infinite, YOU don't get to allow anything anymore than I do. It's a free forum. That's a terrible expression to use.

TL;DR

I wish people would stop posting this tripe in here vs the Brexit section. I keep having to hide threads. 😒

vandrew I have never had a remainer spit at me, curse my kids or punch a member of my team. Obviously this is just circumstantial.

"There is every reason to be optimistic."

Gives us just one, perhaps?

Why is this political thread on AIBU?

Oh FFS another Brexit thread in AIBU telling everyone to run around in circles screaming, "the sky is falling in, the sky is falling in ".

Thankfully most real people have stopping listening to the moans of remainers who hate democracy. Enough already!

*"There is every reason to be optimistic."

More likely to get Scottish independence?

curry I've never had any of those things happen to me. maybe you just know a lot of scrotes?

@Currywurstmitpommes don't cheapen your argument with references to specific events. It is infuriating when leavers are demonised like this and it really doesn't get
Us anywhere. I have friends and family who voted leave, I hardly think abusing them and calling them names would encourage them to listen to other idea

Oh God op are you my sister? I forgot you had broken up so I expect you will visit soon

Seriously can’t you post on the Brexit section. Getting such to death with all this hysteria.

If we leave Britain will be ok after maybe a few blips. If we stay Britain will be ok after a few blips.

Ffs calm down the histrionics.

What democracy is this? If one side breaks the rules surely the vote should be rerun?

And, contrary to what some people like to say, I really don't think there would be much or any civil unrest if the government discovered it's remit decided that leaving was insane and that we should just stay in instead (our government being, you know, sovereign and all that).

The majority of the leave voters seemed to be the disenfranchised, and generally not politically motivated. I suspect there will be rather more civil unrest if there are food shortages!

racecar thanks for the optimism and the idea that we can get make a difference to this shitstorm.

please tell us how?

It wouldn't be so annoying if the people starting the threads weren't purposely excluding words in the title that would make it clear it was a Brexit thread.

It's clearly done on purpose to get more people to click on it since I'm hardly alone in avoiding Brexit threads like the plague. Though tbh I can usually guess whether or not it is Brexit related regardless of the title since I'm use to these fail attempts to be clever and sneaky. I just click to see if I'm right and to hide the thread.

And the Scots don’t want independence. They already said no and when Nic floated her one idea again they’re was a massive back lash.

Give it up ffs

Me too it’s interminable boring isn’t it.

And the Scots don’t want independence.

Really? Since the goalposts were moved I think more of us do.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Personally I am expecting a Greece type outcome, with more violence. Maybe even with Russia supplying arms to a few groups

It’s the will of the people. Leavers knew what they were voting for.

No, they didn't. No one even knows now. It's a royal cock-up all-round.

Newgrandad that's the only positive for me too. If it doesn't happen I can't bring myself to even imagine how bad things will get for Scotland.

And no plan for NI border problem either. It's unbelievable.

give it a rest please
