Why is Brexit still happening? 11:08 - Jul 13 with 82620 viewstcblue

Almost everyone involved has said it will be a catastrophe, and the only person still thinking it's a good idea is failed politician radio host Nigel Farage. Even Boris and POB got the jobs they were perhaps angling for out of it so won't be pro anymore.

I just don't get it. Yes, there was an election with a result - but was that really done properly with an informed electorate?

I don't really give a toss if this is dismissed as snowflaking. It is obvious that Brexit will make this country significantly worse off, and for some reason we still have our foot on the gas despite being ten feet away from the cliff edge.

If there were true principles and strong leaders in our politics (whichever colour) nowadays, we would be having conversations about not respecting the will of the 52% right now.

Everyone in politics wants to pull the parachute. I'm sure of it.

Why do people think that Brexit is still happening?


Because of the tory party rhetoric-
Have you not read about Mrs May's 'red lines' ?
Or how the "Brexiteers' are still braying about what they will do if they don't get their way -e.g. Owne Patterson?

Probably depends whether you ask MPs privately or in front of Corbyn. I suspect a lot are trying to work out what's most important: their views or their job.

Pre referendum and post referendum. At least 4 or 5 times.


You've certainly stated many times that you don't think it will happen. But not how we 'cannot' leave, which suggests a scenario or circumstance which is impossible to resolve.

Conventional wisdom is the enemy of thought.

No not at all.
It is a pity because about the only MP in the hoC that seems to understand what this mess means is labours Kier Starmer.

That goes for all bar about 80 Tory MPs as well.
We are stuffing up the country to keep those 80 or so Tory MPs happy, and Corbyn is colluding.

Failed politician Nigel Farage there. I think earlier in the thread someone asked me what I meant by that, my retort would be why would you consider someone, who had huge media coverage as leader of a political party, successful when he couldn't get elected as an MP, despite moving around to areas considered soft to his party?

We won't even go into his attendance and voting record as an MEP. He's a failed politician. In the interest of fairness, I've never heard his radio show, so I have no idea if he's any good at that.


Update, I've just started watching This Week, and he's also crap at media work.

But at least he got a job, unlike the seven times he tried in politics.

52% of registered voters voted to leave there was around 30% who couldn't be bothered to register. That 30% obviously were happy to go with which ever side won that was leave, people have got to accept this and move on brexit is happening. The doom merchants paint a bad picture but can it get much worse just take a stroll down Ipswich high street.

It's sort of still happening and I still don't understand why.

I'm certain 52% of the country didn't vote for two years of feckless capitulation and a very real chance of a no deal exit.

This is just nonsense. I wonder how much it has already cost.

"It is obvious that Brexit will make this country significantly worse off"

The thing that would make this country significantly worse off would be if it were no longer to be a democracy.

I should add I totally agree with CIL. There is mass brainwashing by the globalist media on pretty much every subject of note. When you are close to one of these stories you really see it in action. I now cannot watch televised news without questioning every narrative I am being fed. You guys should all do the same, unfortunately you all seem to be very set in your ideas.

Did you vote to leave with no deal? What sort of Brexit did you (or anyone who voted leave) vote for?

I just don't understand why we are still accelerating after we've driven off the cliff. I'm all for respecting democracy and all that, but the whole point of government is supposed to be to make the tricky decisions and actions in the best for this country, and nobody can tell me why what we're doing now is best for the country.

In my opinion Brexit = one of biggest peacetime crimes against people UK has ever seen, equivalent of holding gun to at least (and probably way more now) half populations head and taking £1000 from each and every bank account. Facilitated by poisonous self serving millionaires like Mogg who stand to gain at everyone elses expense. Yet to hear a leaver say anything factually positive about this.

How can it be a crime if the majority want it to happen?
