Well many Remoaners are now bitterly complaining that the EU referendum should have had a "supermajority" threshold of 66%, which would have scuppered Brexit. Which side are you on?
The referendum result was far more overwhelming because more than 70% of the UK electorate participated in the vote, and the number of ballots cast equalled more than is 50% of the entire UK population, including children and others ineligible to vote. It knocks that 6% into a cocked hat.
"overwhelmingly in favour" - PMSL.
May, cynically and cowardly, announced her decision yesterday just as parliament breaks up for its long summer recess thus protecting her from a rebellion. She's bought herself a bit of time, but it won't save her political skin, come September the knives will be out and it really will be the end of her leadership. It will be good riddance to the lying, deceitful piece of manure.
Well not to worry Lynne, after the news today that Dominic Raab is being sidelined and Brexit negotations will be done by May personally, along with the unelected Olly Robbins pulling the strings, it looks like Brexit won't be happening at all. It's time for the pro-Brexit MPs to oust May and, to coin a phrase, take back control.
Operation Stack, as it is known, is a traffic management scheme which has been used for decades to control lorry traffic on the approach to Dover and the Channel tunnel. We could do with less of the hysterics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Stack
Do you now possess the powers of Mystic Meg, Lynne? Nobody knows with certainty what will happen after Brexit, but apparently you do.
And there's the race card being played, entirely predictable behaviour from the Remoaners.
Just like it was the will of the people in 1975 that we would stay in the EEC, despite it morphing from a nine state organisation into 28, with countless treaties taking us ever deeper into its grasp, and not once were we asked if that is what we wanted - until 2016, and the answer was NO.
Judging by the hysteria spouted about Brexit, you'd think life in this country barely existed before we joined the Common Market in 1973.
