Not very charitable to the party you once voted for, did they snub you at all selby?

Probably not, Sydney.  He just became a 'Fur Coat No Knickers' Capitalist.

  Don't be silly pies, gold weave under clothing thanks very much, a lot better than not having two half pennies to scratch your arse with.

We must be a laughing stock across the water.

From what I read Albie it's more of stunned disappointment in the lies and trickery used to acheive it and most struggle with the concept that the UK would sacrifice it's reputation as an upholder of international law.

One referendum and two general elections down the road and still some on here can't accept it. Eventually everyone should come together for the future benefit of Britain. I suspect our differences with Germany and Japan after the war will have been put aside quicker than some will get over Brexit.

Who hasn't accepted the result? I don't see anyone saying Leave didn't win. Or are you saying people aren't allowed to criticise us leaving? Should we just blindly celebrate something we believe will make the country worse off?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Precisely DO.

If someone drives a bus off a cliff, telling them that it's going to hurt when you hit the bottom doesn't mean you don't accept you've gone off the cliff.

Some folk on here will tell us when the bus finally hits the ground that it would have grown a pair of wings if only enough Remain supporters had believed it would.

Anyway. Happy New Year everyone. Tomorrow we start a new life with a Brexit that no-one ever discussed in 2016. And apparently that is a democratic triumph.

Some people don't see the irony when they don't accept BLM themselves.

  Last week I listened to a programme that actually had looked back at what was claimed by the remain and Brexit sides of the debate before the referendum. 
  They found that the remain side told percentage wise more untruths than the Brexit side, although they said it was now difficult for the ordinary person to check up because the remain site had been taken down after they had published their results.
 They said nothing about the quality of lies though.
  But personally I don't find it half as annoying as when the full details of where the EU was going was brushed over, and the full result of the Maastricht Treaty was with held from the general public and us not having a vote on it at the time, knowing that in the UK there would have been a very good chance of it being rejected then in the UK.
  I would rather have people tell porkies that you have a very good chance of being exposed as such, but have a chance to accept or reject them than be marginalised and ignored as we were with that treaty, and I think was part of the reason that a large proportion voters of a certain age voted the way they did, to some it was retribution on the EU and John Major, and him with others like Milliband who had lost face so recently nailing their colours to the remain mast so vocally again cemented a lot of older voters minds to get out. They and the remain side just didn't realise it.
  The remain side had all the old snide faces leading it from their past, and the Greens, Liberals, and Starmer going back and forward to Brussels by the back door just nailed their fate.

  Never read any of those in my life Kato, but the Fisher investment advert "how far does a million pound go in retirement" might interest me.

Do you have the name of the program?

Was it the StrongerIn website? Anyone can freely use the wayback machine to look at websites from the past.

Don't bother asking for details, it's always 'something I heard'.

Perhaps from the balanced () TalkRadio.

Why on earth do people complain when they get exactly what they voted for?

I don't know what they're worried about. It's just Project Fear, it's never going to happen!

[ravenrover]

Well seeing as this thread has been superceded by events isn't it time to call it a day and close it?

[Not Now Kato]

Here's someone else not happy getting what he voted for....

Not being that particualry tech savvy (it only being my job like) as I started the thread can I lock it?

[drfchound]

Wilts, someone will just start another one mate.

[Donnywolf]

Not sure anyone but Mods / Admin can lock a Thread but why not let me put this

Mods / Admin - could someone please lock this Thread as people feel ut has run its course

Other users - Pease avoid posting after this - Thread being locked

[DonnyOsmond]

Surely there's nothing wrong with talking about the recent aftermath and affects positive or negative in the Brexit thread?

[ravenrover]

DO what is the title of this thread? It's turning into a political argument

  Useless Netherlands Postal service, we sent a tracked parcel on the second of December to Alkmaar which arrived in Holland on the 3rd of December and was finally delivered to Trudy our friend yesterday.
  I make that well done Royal Mail and useless Dutch postal service.

''Brexit: Boris Johnson's claims about its benefits fact-checked''

''Boris Johnson was asked on the BBC's Andrew Marr show how "ordinary voters" in a place such as Leigh in Greater Manchester (which voted Conservative in the 2019 election) would benefit from Brexit''

The prime minister gave several examples, which we will look at in turn.
