Not only that but the British fisherman will lose access to a lot of the waters they fish and will still miss out on the British fishing areas as we sold all the fishing rights to rich people.

It's their own fault for taking the bait put in front of them by the leave campaign.

I thought we were all vegan now anyway. I can't keep up, can we eat fish again?

I was thinking about this earlier and it is amazing really how the Tories are destroying their own history. One of Thatcher’s greatest moments was the creation of the single market and now the Tories want out. What reputation does that leave their greatest ever leader? Closing coal mines and privatising the country’s assets?

The other proud Tory boast is the Union of the UK itself. They pride themselves on protecting it and yet now are actively pushing things ever closer to Irish reunification and Scottish independence. While making plans that will cause Gibraltar no end of headaches.

But I guess it all worth it for blue passports (that we could have had anyway).

I was thinking this the other day that a lot of the core arguments seem to be anti the parties core beliefs.

The strategy should be simple take this results back to Brussels and tell its a better deal or no deal.

They need us more than we need them, its a strawberry floating crying shame that the remainers have so little faith in the people of Britain that they cant even imagine a world where we are trusted to make our own decisions and take care of our own business.

Tough times create tough people
Tough people create good times
Good times create weak people
Weak people create tough times

The cycle repeats, up to you to judge where we are at. I have my opinion and lets put it this way I believe there are still enough us to clean up the mess the softest shittest generation of British people ever born leave once they have finished re inventing science and social normality in their unicorn safe space.


Just...what?

It doesn't make sense but maybe it's ironic? How can he blame this mess on the current generation when middle-aged Tories called the referendum in the first place?

This. They are desperate to prove that they could handle hard times like their parents did during the war.

Brexiter: All we have to do is what the prime minister should have done in the first place and that is just leave. We have the rest of the world to trade with, fisheries would start to recover, money would go to help the NHS, more money to recruit more police to fight crime. The EU would be begging for us to trade with them and so we should. Back to a world before maggie thatcher. Even she didn't want us in the EU but we went in anyway. Would you allow our country to be run by unelected MP's, we need our freedom back and a new government.


Me: we are already part of the biggest trading bloc in the world. What you say makes no sense whatsoever.


Brexiter: If that's the case then why is everyone so worried. We leave we prosper, easy.


Sick of this.


What utter, utter strawberry floating nonsense.

You can't win these people around. They are strawberry floating idiots.
