Subject: RE: Brexit #2
Ian's, why are you trying to make this a party-issue?

The Tory government decided there would be a referendum. The Tory PM of the day decided to announce that the result would be binding, and on the basis of a simple majority, despite the fact that the standard referendum terms in the U.K. are that referendums require a super-majority.

The current Tory PM decided to press ahead with Brexit, and has steadfastly turned her back on any and every suggestion, including by members of her own Cabinet, that Brexit should be a cross-party project.

Jeremy Corbyn's position on Brexit, indeed the position of the Labour Party itself, is of no consequence - they have no representation on the Brexit team, and no say in the way the process is run.

It's the Tories' project. That's the way they wanted it, so that they could call all the shots and ensure that the true purpose of Brexit - to enable their small but immensely-wealthy cadre of tax-avoiding masters to escape the stringent anti-tax-avoidance regulations being introduced by the EU in mid-2019 - is fulfilled.

The Tories made their bed, it's for them to lie in it. It's got SFA to do with Labour, the SNP, the Lib-Dems or anyone else. The entire blame for the whole steaming, festering pile of excrement that you feeble-minded, Union-Jack-waving cockwombles were fooled into voting for lies with The Conservative and Unionist Party, no-one else, and they are the ones who should, and will, carry the can in the final analysis.
