Disappointed, disillusioned and depressed. On each occasion that I look at the Internet, I am swamped by whining, moaning and complaining about the outcome of a referendum three years ago. Determined to overturn that outcome, a significant proportion of our electorate are dismissive of the democratic process, dismissive of those who dared to vote incorrectly – and the insults that fly about are also deeply tiring. Still, three years on, we are accused of having fallen for “lies” – as if the other side didn’t indulge. Of being xenophobic, racist and stealing young people’s futures – and the sheer arrogant, self-righteousness and snobbery of those who seem to think that being a graduate makes them more intelligent and therefore those of us who voted to leave are thick and didn’t know what we were voting for.
Sure, it’s more of the same, but it’s depressing nonetheless. So many people who really don’t think that democracy matters, preferring instead to ride roughshod over it. I have never, in all my life, witnessed such a sustained outburst of childish tantrums, poor behaviour and so many sore losers.
I’m sick of it.
Completely agree. Just think how much stronger a position we could be in now, if everyone had accepted the result and worked together instead of all the sniping and undermining of our negotiations.
Do they really think they can use parliamentary shenanigans to stop Brexit and everyone that voted for it will shrug and say “oh well”?
Actually I think that’s precisely what they believe.
What they don’t seem to realise is that within a few years (it surely can’t go on much longer) there will be some serious fallout from the euro lunacy and the Bill’s for that could well be in the hundreds of billions.
What are they going to say if a demand for 50 billion or whatever arrived with the proviso that we are legally obliged to pay, given that we have not actually left the EU?
What is a bit (or even a lot) of short term disruption in the event of “no deal” compared to this horror?
I don’t think no deal will be without disruption or problems, but think of the real world alternative.
LR,
I’m also tired of it all.
They lost. They never had a decent argument to stay in. They just won’t admit it.
All they have is nastiness and bile. It’s conscious and deliberate, not mere emotion. Their only hope is to grind down us democrats, who believe in both democracy, and the rule of law (and it IS the law that we leave). It’s difficult to keep hearing the same shite arguments and scare stories without it blackening your mood.
Only by weakening the resolve of those of us who believe in democracy, can they possibly hope to reverse that which is true, just and the will of the people.
As fatigued as I am with it all, I’m up for continuing my own mini battle, to talk to and provide reasons to support my own view to any who would listen, and to hear a counter viewpoint.
However anyone voted, the decision of the referendum must be upheld, and honoured.
I have now reached the point of trying to enjoy it all, as the anti-democratic losers scream, and squeal, lie, abuse, and perform mental gymnastics to try to put together some semblance of their pathetic arguments.
We’ve heard it all, but my favourite one is ‘the 48%’ one. That somehow, in a binary choice election of 50% plus 1 vote wins, we have to compromise. As we know. there is no compromise. The choices were in, and out. Out won. So we leave. Totally. Anything thereafter is negotiated in good faith and not a condition of the withdrawl.
If we don’t leave (properly), then democracy is meaningless, and the country will descend further into division for a generation. When push comes to shove I think / hope the anti-democrat politicians trying to block ‘our’ decision, will understand this.
Chin up. Try to enjoy enjoy them squirming. They have nothing left.
We’re all tired, but the job is still not complete, so we need to carry on until the end. The anti-democrats would still seize defeat from the very jaws of victory if we weaken.
I am, however, somewhat replenished in this late hour with the defence of both honour and democracy by the newly appointed Leader of the House. He does have the benefit of both clarity of language and purpose, even in a Parliament of Knaves as it stands at the moment.
We’re some 87 days from Boris’ “Deal or No Deal, we leave on October 31st”. Still time enough for treachery from the likes of Hammond and Grieve at al. I don’t trust Boris, but he’s invested so much of himself in delivering “Leave” that even though he has no principles at all, he recognises that if he doesn’t deliver BRExit he is finished, just as Treason May was.
The real test will come if the EU does offer him what he said is acceptable, another version of the despicable WA with the backstop removed (or at least in principle removed, if not in practice).
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
You know that the opposition is desperate when you hear them referring to the 48% majority. Or maybe they are innumerate as well as misguided.
May the 8th next year marks the 75 th anniversary of VE Day. A day that won the right to freedom of speech and democracy. Many people throughout Europe and the world died and were maimed to make sure democracy continued. What would they think of these sore losers who cannot accept the very principle of democracy. It is a simple formula but fair. One person, one vote, majority wins!
Boris might be being compared to Churchill because we need someone to sound the rally cry and get on with it.
So stop snivelling put your big girls knickers on and get over yourselves. The sky won’t fall in we won’t all crumble and die and perhaps it will be the best thing yet for Britain and ‘all’ her peoples.
Indeed. Although, Boris being likened to Churchill might be a stretch…
“Cometh the hour, cometh the man…”
Hopefully.
Fuck the EU…
Fuck the Remainers…
It’s called democracy…
Go BoJo!
