Thats wordplay bollocks, let’s be honest. I know a lot of Brexit voters, the issues were sovereignty and immigration. Any single market access would have been a betrayal of their vote.

The fact is as a country we chose those things over economic prosperity. There was no “Brexit” without severe economic harm.

What were you really expecting to happen next if not this? Did you loose sight of who had their hands on the brexit wheel and was going to shape it?

The fact is you never had a say in what it would look like, that was always going to be at the mercy of Tories and the worst type of Tories to boot. Cameron was never going to stick around in a leave outcome so essentially a leave vote was a vote for Boris, Rees-Mogg, Davies, Raab, Patel etc.

Lexit was basically the same thing. Lower immigration to boost wages and allow tariffs and other trade barriers/state aid.

You have suggested we will return to the eu and many voters are unhappy with the result - so urge the labour party to campaign to return as part of the next general election campaign - vote winner is it?

Tony have a look back at this thread, I flagged who was in charge of implementing it and stated my misgivings at the time. In retrospect I should have gone with my gut and voted remain but I didn't and neither did many others, so we have to accept the vote and make the best of the it.

Oh yes you did. And you made out we had it so easy in every way. Had to show you how hard it was to buy a house. You blamed my generation for everything. I don't recall defending Gordon Brown for raiding private pensions. In case you hadn't noticed, he is part of the generation I hold...

Tony has the retrospective ability to see into the future.....which I suppose is fair enough as a previous UKIP voter, he knows what he voted for....

I think Tony has voted for every party in existence

Why doesn’t he just accept he’s a Lib Dem. No ideology just climb into bed with the most popular game in town

From 'no downsides, only considerable upsides' to 'just accept it and make the most of it' is quite the anti climax.

But so very, very inevitable.

If Johnson stays on to the next GE, loses but somehow hangs onto the Tory leadership he’ll probably be the one campaigning to rejoin at the following GE.

Hard to argue that brexit hasn't been anything other than a massive fuck up upto this point ..

I was extremely naive when I voted .. I'd definitely vote remain now , there are literally NO benefits from what i can see ...mistakes were made

Any benefits needed hard work and a plan and people that urged others to vote for it don’t give a shit about others or our country so couldn’t be arsed

Also any benefits were potential benefits so needed to be realised. They were never going to fall into peoples laps. Farage was on the programme after question time last night. Arrogant posh twat. Talking as if his opinion mattered. He’s moved on to the next get rich fraud. Literally now blaming people for the problems we have. Here’s a mirror Nigel there’s the person to blame. Michael jackson sang a song about it

I didn't say the first statement so I'm not really sure why you've compared the two
