Back to the 1960s/1970s? - OMG! No thank you! So if the people decided that they wanted another vote and this time the vote showed that they wanted to stay in the EU I take it, by your logic, that you would be happy with that? And I see that Jacob Tree-Frog is now saying that he thinks a No Deal scenario is ever more likely but that there is nothing to worry about. So that's okay ...

scapegoet The people in a democratic vote decided they wanted to leave and thats it the will of the people has to be carried out wether that is right or wrong thats democracy.

If this all wasn't so serious I would be LMFAO. I can't believe, even from all I've been viewing on all interweb how the vanishingly small majority of those that could and did vote, can't admit that oops they may have not realised what a shit idea brexit was.
