Seventeen million plus people want a new start. Within the EU that new start is not possible. Do you understand?

Why is that not possible? What part of our EU agreement prevents our government, or ever prevented our government, from addressing any of those things?
They are all social, political and economic issues, in my opinion.

Your issues are not what the people voted for. Why do you not understand this? I am really getting fed up with this thread.
Why is it that these issues could not be addressed by our government while we are/were in the EU? |

Mate, you'll find the forum much more enjoyable if you just put the silly old fart on ignore...... his posts are 110% trollings anyway so he never has anything to contribute.
And it makes it easier on the rest of us if you don't quote him because then we don't see those comments either. |

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the SC decision is made & whether the losers can/will appeal to the European Court or not.
I mentioned that option a while ago & was shouted down on it but Sky News had a legal fundi on last night who said it might be an option. It was I who (using what I thought at that moment was a good dose of heavy irony)first mentioned the possibility. When you said you wouldn't be surprised if it could happen and after a very short further interchange between us, I thanked you for having made me think again and agreed it was a possibility. It has subsequently been confirmed that it is indeed. I doubt it would come to that, though (and I sincerely hope not). But you weren't "shouted down". Not by me, anyway. |

No, it wasn't you that shouted me down & I haven't suggested it was. We might not agree on much but at least you usually debate with a modicum of intelligence unlike the troll in chief & his fairy godmother. Both of whom I now have on ignore. :rofl: |
re: Post EU Referendum
Having seen Gina Miller being interviewed this morning, I now realise that her motives for bringing the Article 50 legal challenge are totally honourable.
And there's me thinking that it's just a cynical ploy to enable our Parliamentary Elite to redefine the result of the referendum - such as MPs and Lords blocking any attempt to leave the EU unless we retain access to the Single Market with unrestricted EU immigration. The lady denied any such thing of course. She's just doing her duty. What a credit to society she is. I must suppress these wicked thoughts and stop doubting the integrity of Remainers. Then I woke up. |

And if there are people who want to retain access to the single market, you can be sure it's big business that is really calling the shots here, Parliament or no Parliament, witness the government's recent cozy private discussion with Nissan in Sunderland. |

I am talking about the exact same issues as you, and was responding to your post, above.
Why is it that these issues could not be addressed by our government while we are/were in the EU? No FOM can alleviate the problem. What is wrong with you that you cannot understand this? And we are not talking about the same issues. I and others in the referendum did not vote because of young homelessness or drug addiction or education. I cannot make it any clearer. |

You will also of course seen Farago confirming what we all already knew - that the referendum was only advisory.

When you say "elite", do you mean the MPs we all voted into office, in some cases repeatedly?

Perhaps there should have been a health warning to that effect on the ballot paper. Mind you, no doubt you think the Brexiteers had trouble enough reading 'Leave the EU' without expecting them to learn new words. |
