Thanks BST, my thoughts too but do you think there will definitely be a change with a left wing government?
No that isn’t it at all..The reason for having another vote is simple - actually knowing what we are voting for, because at the moment no one can be satisfied with the current situation..It’s not about overturning the previous vote ad infinitum at all, it’s about a meaningful vote - period.!
BST. I asked where did the funding come from before we were in the EU, in answer to a post describing how amazing our new roads, bridges, flood defences etc are thanks to the EU. Living in Bentley, that made me wonder when our potholes will be filled in, or if it's worth doing that because the roads will only be f**ked again if we have another flood. This just made me wonder if parts of South Yorkshire, like Doncaster, was still being neglected despite our EU membership. Maybe if we had a government willing to spend the £7.5bn per year saved by leaving the EU on our own infrastructure we'd all benefit.
BST. Maybe a less negative approach might kerb your anger....http://ukandeu.ac.uk/the-economic-cost-of-brexit-is-unavoidable-but-that-doesnt-mean-its-not-worth-it/
Funnily enough MrCroft there was a piece about that on the radio today. The pollster John Curtice has found that more people are now identifying on how they feel about Brexit.http://theconversation.com/brexit-identities-how-leave-versus-remain-replaced-conservative-versus-labour-affiliations-of-british-voters-110311
Strange approach you have to trying to get us to unite BB. Posting bad argument after bad argument after bad argument on issues that are at the core of this process. See, it looks to me like someone in your position is immaturely trying to have it both ways. If Brexit is stopped, you can scream about how the Leave supporters have been subjected to condescending and supercilious bullying. If it goes ahead and is a disaster (plot spolier - it will be) you can claim it's the fault of those who never believed in Brexit and didn't unite for the sake of the country. Since you posted that link, flawed though it is, I assume we can put one of your hobby horses to bed. It concludes, "It is fine to argue that Brexit is worth the economic damage it implies, that economics is not the most important consideration, or that economic warnings are overblown. What is not acceptable is to deny that there will be any damage at all."So, presumably you are not going to continue with this inane insistence that you can't trust economic projections. Because if you still bleat on about that, why the f**k would you have posted that link?
Here's an interesting development. https://mobile.twitter.com/DKShrewsbury/status/1087691731095699456Isn't conspiring with another state to work against the will of Parliament the very definition of treason?

I've never thought of those sort of tactics before. Where did you learn them? I posted that link to show that not every economic projection arrives at the same conclusion. If they have differing opinions how can they all be right? How on earth can they be trusted if some of them are wrong?Perhaps we should just wait for you to tell us, eh?You put up link after link that you select to most fit your argument and expect everyone to treat it as gospel because you've picked it. Anyone else puts a link up that you disagree with is treated with ridicule for patronising such an article, often rubbishing it because it belongs to a news outlet you don't tolerate. Funny how the Mail and Express can be used when it suits you, but not when it suits your opponents!That's why only a handful of Leavers get involved with this forum in a political way.
