Thread Name: BS: Brexit again
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit again
All I have said on this has been factual.
You can not challenge anything I say.
Your only response has been abuse, insult, and now walking away.

Cabinet Office, 6th April, sent to every household.
"A once in a generation decision
The referendum on Thursday, 23 June is your chance to decide if we should remain in or leave the European Union."

"This is your decision. The government will implement what you decide."

No-one here or in Parliament or the media challenged that statement until the result came in.
Parliament did not question it and all the main parties made the same promises in their manifestos.

Parliament still has not challenged it. The legal challenge was brought by private individuals.

I predict that the appeal will fail. Whatever the legality, the Judiciary will be determined to demonstrate their independence from government and media pressure.

Whatever the outcome, we all voted in the belief that our decision would be binding.
If our "advice" in or out was decreed to be enforceable and to be enforced either way, it is no longer advice.
It is binding.
