Absolute gold. I am going out on a limb and saying most leave voters are like this. Although all this does is makes me angry again that all voters where led by lies and bullshit

I love james o' brian

This caller is a dipshit of the very highest calibre, just like most... ah strawberry float it, all Brexit voters. It's a stupid, irrational, pointless, self-harming exercise and no Brexit voter can argue for leaving without spouting nonsensical drivel. The country is strawberry floated regardless of whether we go through with it now and it's all that vile banana split Cameron's fault.

Oh you. I'm on it.

How do you make a tissue dance?

That's so strawberry floating depressing.

How can you have a democratic vote on something as huge as this when so many strawberry floating idiots don't even have the sense to gooseberry fool out of their own arse? This has to stop.

A mate of mine used the same reason for why he voted to leave, I asked what he didn't like and he couldn't say just that he didn't like them imposing whatever they wanted....

I pointed out the veto and that some stuff we aren't part of and he just went "oh" and looked like he suddenly regretted his vote and had realised he had strawberry floated it.

I can’t remember if it was on here or somewhere else, but I saw on Leaver turn that around into being a negative. Basically he argued that every country having a veto was bad and meant that the EU was undemocratic because it meant that any country could stop legislation that the other countries all voted for.

You can’t win with these people. If we don’t have a veto it is bad and undemocratic. If we have a veto then it is also bad and undemocratic.

Dipshits is an understatement. We are in a situation now where we are actually going to harm our country because of what dipshits want. A situation that the vast majority of our elected officials do not want, but have to support because of dipshits.

"but but but after Brexit we can trade with THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!". Yeah because you never see a BMW outside of Europe.

It’s all incredibly depressing.

A former colleague of mine was mocking the Liberal Democrats' desire for a second referendum being them not living up to their name. When I asked whether Brexit should still go ahead if people changed their mind and 70% of the country didn't want it to happen he said of course it should, anything else wouldn't be democratic.

You lot are seriously friends with some right melters.

That's why we should never have another election again. Just leave everything like it is.

He's someone who loved to bring up the result with glee every so often but whenever anyone disagreed with him or debunked his Mail obtained points he'd just say we probably shouldn't discuss politics at work.

Only ever wants people to agree with him.

You obviously do not understand how things work.

Let me break it down for you.

1st referendum = True democracy. This was the will of the people, what democracy is supposed to be, independence day, crush the saboteurs, freedom, if you don’t like it then get out.

2nd referendum = Anti democracy. Just keep running referendums until you get the answer you want, we already had a vote, remoaners, biased broadcasting corporation, lib dumbs, accept the result, we are leaving get over it, why do you hate democracy.

I can't quite believe what's going on in the world these days, half of me is dismayed that the US and UK have diminished in reputation but the other half of me is happy that Merkel and Macron appear to be the new progressive leaders of the free world.

This DUP thing is f***ing terrifying, this summer could be a disaster.

I think this is partially to do with how bad both campaigns were. Outright lying or just completely pie in the sky predictions.

I still maintain that most people voting in this referendum didn't have a strawberry floating clue. That goes for remainers and leavers.
We all laugh about soundbites now, but they had a huge swing on this referendum. My mother voted for leave because of that 350 million to the NHS. She had the best of intentions.

I'm just being pragmatic now about this, despite how bad it sounds to me. We'll just have to put faith in Dave Davis.

While there was misinformation and scaremongering on both sides, it is without any doubt that the worst of the lies came from the Leave side. From the bus, to the lies about Turkey joining the EU, to the lies on democracy and Britain being dictated to, to the lies on how we could then become wealthy by trading with the world. Etc. Etc.

There is a reason why we have only ever had three national referendums.

That queens speech was a disaster for anyone but hardline tories. Hopefully it's voted down so we get another election.

Merkel & Macron aren't progressive, but they are liberal. Liberalism looks real good when you're surrounded by Illiberalism.

I know you're joking but that's actually spot on.

Much has been made of the idiots who won the referendum with their 'idiot' view on issues but you know who are as much to blame. Us. The remain voters who just assumed we'd win. The remain voters who assumed we would win and didn't vote because they were complacent or smug or just idle.

And all you moaners in here? What did you actually do? Did you go and volunteer? Deliver leaflets or canvass voters? Or any of the things that could have tipped it?

Of course not. You just posted in here. And then bemoaned the result.

I honestly think if all those who actually wanted to remain had made more of an effort - we'd have walked that referendum.
