Your "side," which you gleefully espouse, is what has split this country down the middle. Your man in 2016 called a referendum that there was no real appetite for in the country in order, he thought, to see off the people like you on the far right of his party and to sideline Farage. Your man failed miserably and created the sides that you are now pretending that you disapprove of. Let's hope that the split doesn't define this country for years to come, but, if it does, be assured that your lot created the "sides" that simply didn't exist before 2016. Therefore, get real just for once.


Typical Steve Shaw bollocks. He claims there was no appetite in this country for a referendum. If so, why did the leave voters win that referendum.
The 'sides' he mentioned (those for leaving the EU, or remaining in the EU) certainly existed before that time. It was just that the leavers had no major political party which espoused their viewpoint.
