I got a bit of Brexit burnout over the summer, having had 12 months of struggling with the direction UK is headed in. Now we are back to it again, we get an almost daily drip feed of bad news on Brexit, I am ready to fight it again. The new tenner is worth £8.60, car companies are threatening to leave UK, John Lewis profits down and we haven't even Brexited yet.
If, in March 19, we're presented with a shoddy deal and people are regretting their Vote for Brexit, would it not be wise to ask the country again the best way forward to ensure we give our children the future they deserve?
If you agree, please sign and share as widely as you can. This petition is doing well.

The LEAVE side didn't come out with any more bollocks than the REMAIN side.

The EU are so bitter and angry that we are leaving, for one reason ONLY. The money they will lose from us. They have outlived their usefulness for us, and have fast gone from a useful and reasonable business partner and friend, to a spiteful, bitter controlling bully who punishes people who don't step in line. If this happened in a job or a marriage, you would cut your losses and move on.

That is what WE are doing.

We will be better off OUT of the EU, there is not a SINGLE reason to stay in it, and I agree with previous posters; you need to suck it up, coz we're leaving!

I can only surmise that you are either a business who benefits from being in the EU, and that's why you're stamping your feet, OR you are a millennial who is terrified of change, and the perceived isolationism.

Many people 35 (and under,) are rather clueless about the EU, and they have no IDEA how controlling the are, and how much money they take from us. Some I know even think we will never be able to travel to EUROPE again! But they will soon learn how wrong they are about the EU, and that we are better off out of the EU. And so will you @Niamer

DaisyBelle my £8.60 stuff was taken from Best for Britain as I certainly wouldn't trust myself with the economics. I don't think many people (apart from the most deluded) would disagree that Brexit will make us poorer, however you dress it up. A few people have told me they are prepared to take that it to have "sovereignty". Others would prefer their weekly shop to be cheaper.

penny must be putting your mind at rest niamer

Very reassuring...

jww127 · 15/09/2017 18:15

Fully with you OP. The referendum happened and the numbers were what they were, but what happens now is not set in stone. I think events may lead in all sorts of directions and we must focus our attention on persuading those who have power and those voted Leave last year that remaining in the EU is the best way forward and in the country's best interest. Another referendum is certainly one way to be seen to be being democratic, but the divisions that referendums cause are in themselves harmful and damaging.

pennysnow · 15/09/2017 18:16

Thanks Rufus.

You're very kind.

Glad you see sense.

Niamer · 15/09/2017 18:16

Brexit will make us poorer. We are already, sadly.

A lot of unnecessary hysteria with Brexit, when there isn't ONE SINGLE REASON to stay.

Not one.

You'll see.

Thanks penny

Grin

Just to clarify im not being reassured by you

Im just hoping niamer is

pennysnow · 15/09/2017 18:17

That is utter bollocks Niamer.

Take no notice of it. It's called scaremongering sweetie.

Propaganda by whiny remoaners.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/09/2017 18:18

I think its the capital letters

pennysnow · 15/09/2017 18:19

I don't know if anyone will reassure her, because the remoaners are so full of bile and negativity, that they are poisoning the minds of the young.

They will see (eventually) that we are better off out of the EU! Smile

TheUpsideDown · 15/09/2017 18:25

Sorry, no. By this logic either side should just forever protest, petition and campaign stamp feet until they get their own way.

There was a vote - Leave won that vote. It's time to accept it.

Both sides misled and lied to suit their own agendas - that's politics

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/09/2017 18:26

People were complaining about being in the EU for years

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/09/2017 18:31

It's not doing well, I wouldn't have said. Around 16 million people should be signing shouldn't they?

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/09/2017 18:47

Why through

jww127 · 15/09/2017 19:06

The divisions wrought by the referendum are as nasty here as everywhere else. Surely it's OK for everyone to have the right to campaign for what they think is best, be it the EU or anything else? Shutting down debate and denying the opinions of others isn't healthy. Listen to each other people! xxx

Niamer · 15/09/2017 19:11

Sorry, no. By this logic either side should just forever protest, petition and campaign stamp feet until they get their own way.

Well that is pretty much what the Brexiters did for 40 years. So should we not have given them the referendum last year?

Niamer · 15/09/2017 19:13

pennysnow I am neither a millennial or a business owner, but I can understand why both those groups are upset.

If only all the downsides of Brexit were Propaganda by whiny remoaners.

OP posts:
RibenaMonsoon · 15/09/2017 19:23

Misinformed? I'm sorry but I don't agree. The government spent tax payers money sending leaflets to every household in the UK urging them to.vote remain and detailing exactly what leaving the EU would entail. As a result, we knew exactly what we were voting for/against. There will always be a feeling of uncertainty all the while we are still in negotiation.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/09/2017 19:24

Rufus because they voted remain?

Niamer · 15/09/2017 19:26

pennysnow could you tell me where you get your facts, as you do not consider The Independent to be a reliable source?
