People who've changed their mind...

There seems to be a lot of people on the internet who say they were a remainer but changed their mind to leave.

Has anyone who is STILL remain ever met anyone who has shifted from remain to leave?

Leavers had the best part of 3 years to come up with a sensible list of benefits.

With a remainer dictating the red lines for negotiations?

Red lines based entirely on immigration which is entirely my point.

That's not the point is it?

Certain posters aggressively demand that anyone who voted leave should have drawn up plans as to how the process be conducted.

That isn't the role of the electorate, especially in an advisory referendum. We were all asked to express our preference, which those of us who voted,did.

As with all elections it was then up to Parliament.

Your contribution is not worth wasting the electrons.

I voted remain. The UK government have fucked the UK so I have taken alternative measures to protect as many in my family as I can.
If it was viable I would seek employees in the UK, but sadly having to work out new tax, regulation and tariff regimes is not worthwhile so the work will go to Europeans.

Coming from who though? A remainer, not a leaver.

Bearbehind · 16/03/2019 15:26

The point is that those who chose this should have given some thought to how it could possibly work out.

The fact is the choice is no deal, crap deal or revoke.

Not exactly the Leavers dream is it?

We can’t have what we had already just without the bad bits.

Strange that isn't it?

Are you relinquishing UK citizenship given your obvious hatred for us?

What difference does it make?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/03/2019 15:32

Us?

Is this another 'if you dont like it leave the country ' type comments?

Weetabixandshreddies · 16/03/2019 15:33

Did all the remain voters give thought to how their vote would work out?

The truth is no one knows what they voted for. Everyone who voted did so for what they thought/think is the best choice.

That mps have managed to turn it into this shit show is another discussion entirely.

"a remainer dictating the red lines for negotiations?"

What Red Lines would Gove or Boris-Johnson have dictated that would have made everything turn out so much better? Exactly what would they, or PM JRM (if you like that idea) have done that would make everything go swimming well by this point? Serious question. How would their fervent support have made things much better today, 16 March 2019?

Nearest I can tell, the important card Leavers think they had to play was "No Deal", the scary prospect of which was supposed to make EU cave to all UK demands. That was their one and only trump card... and it turns out the Single Market matters more to EU than UK purchase power does. Who knew? (please note dates on screenshots)

They didn’t need to - it was a vote for the current situation

If you voted for change you should at least have the decency to think about how it might work out.

Weetabixandshreddies · 16/03/2019 15:45

No. It's addressed to the poster and post that it answered.

Yes, the current situation that is only current right now you mean? Not when the EU changes taxation you mean? Is that the "current situation"?

1tisILeClerc · 16/03/2019 15:55

{Are you relinquishing UK citizenship given your obvious hatred for us?}
No I am still an British citizen and will remain so not that it has anything to do with you.
I will have to drop the women 'piece rate' workers in England that work for me as it is now uneconomic. Shame but never mind eh!

1tisILeClerc · 16/03/2019 15:58

By the way, Weetabixandshreddies has 'form' for being a wind up merchant with no ideas.

Millyonthe · 16/03/2019 16:03

I will have to drop the women 'piece rate' workers in England that work for me as it is now uneconomic. That's a terrible shame. Those jobs sound great.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/03/2019 16:03

No. It's addressed to the poster and post that it answered

No

You were asking them were they going to revoke their citizenship

Same sort of thing as leave the country

Cant see any 'hate' in 1st post

And 'we' ? Whats this 'we' of which you speak?

Weetabixandshreddies · 16/03/2019 16:04

1tisILeClerc

Takes one to know one I guess.

The relish that you talk about making someone jobless, if of course it is true, is disgusting.

You may well blame leavers that's fine. You can still express regret and sadness at making someone redundant, rather than revelling in it. That says a lot about you.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/03/2019 16:05

Not when the EU changes taxation you mean?

The taxation we coukd have vetoed??

That tax...the one we could have said no to and will be unable to do under the WA...that tax?

Millyonthe · 16/03/2019 16:06

Why so rude? Weetabix is making a very good point. The EU is changing. Leaving and remaining are both future states and equally uncertain.

Weetabixandshreddies · 16/03/2019 16:08

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer

No the EU is removing the veto. Apparently it doesn't need to put it to the vote. It can just change it.

Called QVM I believe.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/03/2019 16:09

Rude?

Oh my giddy aunt Grin

She used an example...which doesnt hold

There are probably plenty of things she could have said that would be an excellent point as you are quite right milly things change

But tax that we could have vetoed and wont be able to in the future is not one of them

NicksWife08 · 16/03/2019 16:09

My brother voted remain and was a strong remainer and now he would vote leave, he seems to think we'd now be better off.
A friend and her husband voted remain and would vote leave now because they say they would back the previous majority.
I voted remain and I'd still vote remain.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/03/2019 16:09

That's interesting weetabix I'll have a look at that

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/03/2019 16:11

A friend and her husband voted remain and would vote leave now because they say they would back the previous majority

Oh no that does seem a bit strange to me

Is that a losing side thing do you think or more that leave won and they want to back them as a 'fairness' type thing?
