I voted remain. But remain didn't win and leave did win. The moral high ground is theirs. If you totally ignore them with some line that "you didn't know what you were voting for", you'll be asking for trouble.

So some way needs to be found and it won't be another referendum
I was just talking about your post saying that there would be a revolution. There really wont.

On this point though. The idea that more people voted to leave than remain so I should accept losing my job. Yeah, but no.

Not enough is being made of Gove and Johnson now being at loggerheads.

Kick in the teeth for Brexit voters who claim they know what they voted for.

Sir Alan Duncan, the Foreign Office minister, has paid this tribute to his former boss:
"I had two amazing years in the foreign office working with Boris Johnson. He was and remains a larger than life figure, one of politics’ great characters."
That could be a soundbite from the 18th or 19th century; politics is merely a source of amusement & the stuff of self-important memoirs to these clowns. Nothing truly changes in Britain...

Yes trouble would be awful wouldn't it, best stay on the current strong and stable path instead.

If there's no confidence vote, is this basically a way for Davis and Boris to pretend they have principles by standing down, while not having to effect any genuine change by implementing a Brexit they know won't work?
I don't think May is in any danger of losing a confidence vote.
Can't this plonker just feck off to Yankee land.

France - can't win anything with Swedish turnips
I went to greece just after the euro was introduced, the locals could not stop complaining about it.
I was in the UK when decimalisation was introduced, and the locals could not stop complaining about, and some still do now.

That really shows how low we have sunk.
Sadly, I fear there is still a long way further to fall.
17.4 million voters should be held personally responsible. Ignorance is no excuse.

Tuning in for the next episode of "Rats leaving the sinking ship"

She said no custom union, no single market, no ECJ and no freedom of movement. Which essentially means no deal and leads to the question, why is she negotiating with the EU?
This was somehow interpreted as a soft Brexit on here yesterday:confused:.

Furthermore, even more ridiculous are the Cabinet ministers resigning because she's effectively asking for No Deal.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!
The bit about juggernaut window heights is a strange inclusion. It's obvious he was being fobbed off as he was seen as a distraction … if the British government wanted to legislate that they could have done it independently of Europe if it were viable – it simply isn't.

Are we really suffering BREXIT because Boris, as London mayor, didn't get a Boris Juggernaut to sit alongside the Boris bike? How can you legislate to change something that drives right across Europe without involving EUROPE :confused:

I found that passage particularly strange. I think its a deliberate attempt at emotiveness in the absence of any coherent rational economic argument.

His opening paragraph omits the inconvenient fact that the Leave campaign broke the law, and so undermined his precious 'democracy'.

I don't know, I understand why @Adisa reads a soft brexit, it's not because of what is written or what she says but because she is seemingly negotiating with the EU. Now for me there is an angle that is interesting to explore, no deal doesn't require any negotiations, so if she isn't going for soft brexit then she is just acting in a way that will keep her in Downing Street for as long as possible. If she publicly states that no deal is the way, then her party doesn't need her and they are all going to fight for her place.

In the end, there is very little to say which way this government wants to go.

Someone on another board wrote that Johnson's letter is 'essentially an application letter for the PM job'.

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
Am I to understand that May who originally campaigned Remain now has delivered a 'softer' Brexit, effectively getting Davis and Johnson out of the administration and is likely to survive a no-confidence motion? I'm not sure if this is genius or clown worthy.

I despise him. Hidden behind that buffoon persona for far too long. He knows exactly what he's doing and if anyone's a spineless jellyfish it's him.
