Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
"Steve was clear that it was the "plebs."
As much as I usually agree with Steve on this subject, he has as much ida as you and I have of the social structure of the vote
The 'plebs' were sold the vote on the basis that if immigration wasn't stopped their jobs would continue to be at risk - the old racist card made infamous by Enoch Powell
It is a moot point whether, given she shambolic fiasco now entertaining us all and the confirmation by the Government itself that Brexit will lower standards of living and have an adverse effect on the economy for at least a decade, the people who originally voted for Brexit would do so again
"Ireland can block the Brexit talks. This is not the same as blocking Brexit."
At this stage, it seems to add up to the same thing
"The UK is leaving the EU, all blocking the talks will do is ensure that it is a 'hard' Brexit."
Another moot point given that there are now calls for a referendum before everything is finalised
