I'm not necessarily of a view that all Brexiters didn't know quite what they were voting for, but FFS, they DID, 100%, ABSOLUTELY know that they were throwing their support behind Rees-Mogg, Farage, and Johnson.
A very one sided view. Clearly all the champions of remain are rock solid characters. Not to mention the remainer who is in charge of brexit and expertly handed the EU the upper hand/leg/head/neck whatever in the negotiations.

means SFA - given their voting habits and political games over recent weeks in parliament, brought live to the living room very kindly by the broadcasters when one is trying to relax in an evening |

It’s a statement of fact, although feel free to label it however you want I’m not suggesting the remain campaign was even average in its work, and would agree with you over Mrs. May, surely the worst PM of modern times, but those there Brexiteers in Chief were hugely noisy when touting a ideal, yet mute when it came to dealing with the practicalities. I’d label it as shameful, but doubt that those three have even a sliver of conscience. |

People who voted Brexit ain't gonna get anything like what they voted for Which was...? I think that some saw it as a chance to return to some mythological version of Britain which never existed. I've lost count of the times I've heard rose tinted views of pre- 1973 Britain. Anyway, I'm not saying all Brexiteers are of this view, but certainly there are those that are. |

You o ly have to look at the case of Neil Kinnock, not only did he get himself on the EU gravy train he even managed to get his wife and son on the EU payroll! www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14540347.Kinnocks_all_aboard_the_EU_gravy_train/ |

To be honest, when my kids go off on one, I threaten to send them up the chimney to do an honest days work. Life was better when we ruled the world. |

Unlike the very vocal remainers who lost the vote I can only speak for myself and saybthat I voted to leave the EU and not to support any other person. The reason I have little to say about what " type " of Brexit is because there is only one type.... LEAVE. The only discussion is what arrangements do Europe and ourselves want in the future as is the case with the rest of the world. So you just want "LEAVE", but you want a discussion on what arrangements we have with Europe, which is a rehashed way of saying you want a deal. Yet another Brexitier full of hot air, with nothing of any substance to say Try listening instead of bullying and you may learn something. I voted to leave pure and simple, not with a deal, or permission or penalty, subject to the proper notice. After that, as is the case in the current "deal"situation, we should discuss as an independent country what future relationships would suit us and all our neighbours This is not a withdrawal deal. Do you understand now? |

Do you understand now? Bullying? With that tone, that's ironic. How long do you want to leave us trading under WTO rules while we sit around discussing what we're going to do next? None of those that campaigned for Brexit and told us it would be easy are willing to do anything to make it happen, so what confidence do you have that they'd be able to agree and put plans into action in good time? I just don't understand how you can want that. It seems absolutely suicidal to me |

My mother voted to leave, as far as I can tell, in a large part due to Neil Kinnock's EU pension. Seriously. |

In the last 24 hours, lazarus* has described me as uncaring and intolerant, wainwrong as a "pompous, patronising pillock", and now accused Gigantes of bullying him/her.
If you look at the posts that triggered these outbursts, you might come to the conclusion that (s)he comes across as a bit of a so-called snowflake.
You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
* My phone tried to auto-correct "lazarus" to "lizards." Coincidence?

We’re just receiving reports of an incident at a farm in Sussex where a number of people have been arrested in connection with Annoying the Nation.
It is believed that that the owner of the farm, a Mr Hibbert, has been co-operating with Police and government officials in a plot code-named Operation Less Pr*cks, and kindly granted permission for the use of his 17th century tithe barn as a temporary holding place for those arrested.
Although not confirmed, we are led to understand that those already charged include:
- Bus drivers who don’t wait for people to sit down before pulling away from the bus stop
- Taxi drivers who use their horns instead of knocking on the door
- People who moan at the council about the streets being full of litter, not stopping to think that it is people who drop litter, not the council
- A room full of drama teachers listening to Björk
- Grown men with replica shirts worn over their jumpers, who stand up and stretch out their arms when the opposing team fail to hit the target
- An assortment of scriptwriters, novelists and playwrights who own Agas but don’t know how to use them
- A musical equipment reviewer responsible for an article titled “Microphone of the Month”
- A woman who described herself as “A little bit Bridget, a little bit Ally, a little bit Sex and the City” and chose to call her baby boy Fred as a childishly rebellious attempt at a clever reaction to those who might have expected her to call him Julian or Rupert. Bit of advice - call him Rupert. It fits, and besides, it’s a good name. Don’t be calling him Fred or Archie, with all its cheeky but lovable working class scamp connotations, unless you really do have plans for him to spend his life in William Hill’s waiting for them to weigh in at Newton Abbot.
Also being held is a whole wall full of teenagers spitting needlessly, an amateur thug in camouflage trousers whose Japanese fighting dog had run amok on a Swindon council estate, a man from the record company who said that George Michael continues to challenge social taboos through his music, Lisa Riley, continuity announcers introducing comedy shows, a pub band who get uppity when everyone goes to the bar during a song they’ve written themselves, a group of football fans referred to as Commodores (as in once, twice, three times a season) who feed sugar lumps to police horses at Cup Finals, an artist who said his next album would be more “song-based”, a man who informs people that he gets up at 6AM every morning and seemed to want a medal, people who say they speak as they find and are somehow proud of it, journalists who try to spell an interviewee’s laugh, an organisation who declared an awareness week for awareness weeks, and a council worker who dropped litter.
We’ll bring you more details as they emerge.
[Thanks Nigel]
