Thread Name: BS: Irish referendum
Subject: RE: BS: Irish referendum
The very large majority of the population who did not allow themselves to be bamboozled by sound-bites, racist slogans on vans, lies on buses, xenophobic rhetoric, a mindlessly-repeated ad-nauseam 'Take Back Control', and a daft, airy-fairy idea of returning to the 1960s and prior, to vote 'Leave' can not, by any stretch of the imagination, be described as 'quislings'. These are people who believe they have the very best interests of the UK at heart, as part of an established, co-operative bloc of nations who trade together and in the wider world, and take advantage of a homogenised tax/tariff system.

We have been sold down the river by the Brexit-Boobies - that's fact - but, the last time I checked, this is a democratic country, anyone and everyone who so wishes has the right to challenge the status quo, provided they do it by peaceful means. Before the Referendum, Old Haddock-Face declared that, if there was a small majority, say three or four percent, in favour of 'Remain', he would challenge it and do everything he could to get a second referendum.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
