Steve Shaw BS: Post Brexit life in the UK (6498* d) RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK 12 Oct 17


The two posts are completely unrelated, there's nothing inconsistent in them and you are being mischievous. No-one I know is trying to "overturn a democratic vote." Those who are campaigning for a change of mind are going about it entirely democratically. No-one is planting bombs, pointing guns, rigging votes, threatening people on the doorstep, organising violent demonstrations, talking hate speech or kidnapping the prime minister. In a free country with free speech I'm fully entitled to make the case, even now, for remaining in the EU as strongly and fervently as I can. My opinion is that the referendum was fatally flawed, both because the bar was set inappropriately and in that the campaign was a complete disgrace from start to finish. I'm not going to be told by anyone that my demurring from that is "undemocratic" when it's actually precisely the opposite. Your accusing me of "trying to overturn a democratic vote" is emotional, undemocratic, fascistic and is a full reflection of your insecurity. My view is that most leavers are now privately reconsidering their position. Of course, hubris may prevent many from coming out - for now. The whole thing is collapsing day by day around your ears. Our ears. Every night the news is apocalyptic. It's an impending bloody disaster that we are being steered into by the most inept government I can remember in my lifetime. You won't admit it now. I do understand that. You have your pride. But you were wrong and, deep down, you know it. I'll give you six months, by which time you'll have to eat shit. Or you could act with a bit more grace and humility and admit, finally, that brexit is going to be the biggest disaster in generations. You will have to, sooner or later.
