They discussed with experts who knew something about the issues. They anticipated scenarios and considered risk-benefit cases. What they didn’t do was listen to a bell end like Rees-Mogg.
So approving everything they say is the way forward?

If I’d discussed it with Rees-Mogg?Well, I wouldn’t have been the Wright Brothers. That’s for sure. I’d have ended up like the blokes who dressed up as chickens and jumped off Margate pier in an attempt to prove that man could fly. I said that people who want to assess what will happen in hitherto unencountered scenarios listen to EXPERTS. Not gobshites and snake oil salesmen.

Obviously not though, seeing as most people voted to leave. Isn't it a case of believing who you want to believe?

Isn't it a case of believing who you want to believe?Many of those who voted brexit will not be fully informed; they probably didn't have the time to fully research the issues, were misled by politicians that should/do know better and were let down by the journos and media that they do follow - most of my friends fall into this category and none of them are idiots. It's an appalling situation and one that we could still pull out of, but unfortunately we won't
You never let me down wilts! Like I've always said before regarding anything Brexit, I don't know! After all, it's never happened before, so anything I say would only be conjecture. That's why I'm interested in the views of those who deem themselves capable of accurately predicting the outcome of it.
Billy I accept everything you say about people being misled, and that's part of the problem, there are older generations that feel they were misled into voting to join something that morphed into something completely different to what they voted to join. They are the ones that were lied to, and have had to accept everything since, not all bad admittedly, but not what they voted for. The big difference is , their generation respected the vote once declared, something this generation seem incapable of doing. And the politicians who disagreed, joined forces in parliament to make joining work, something else the present generation could learn.

Where the UK went in the EU after that was decided by the successive UK governments that were also voted for by the British public.
