Article 50

live.... poxy apple....

That is my ear worm now MawBroon

off to my real bed to read some fiction

whats with the music? i love a working class life in the heart of london, where are you lala land?

But of course none of us "live real life*do we?
?"Is it the real world, is it just fantasy?" ?

A strange idea that those who read articles don't live real lives. It's possible to do both. Better to do both in fact.
From the article.
'In the House of Commons, in the debate on the EU referendum Bill, the then Minister for Europe, David Lidington, told the House that “the legislation is about holding a vote; it makes no provision for what follows. The referendum is advisory” (Hansard, June 16 2015). Yet in the most barefaced manner and contrary both to the briefing and the government statement in the House, the Brexit cabal have treated the referendum outcome as binding and mandating, in defiance of the explicit nature of the Referendum Act itself.

This is just one of many major and serious lies on which the Brexit debacle is based. The Brexiters have made up the rules as they go along, changing them when expedient, saying one thing at one time and another at another, acting with the kind of dishonesty and duplicity that one expects only of thieves.'

Goves the lie to the fact that it wasn't advisory. Strange that Brexiters have conveniently missed that out in all the articles they have written.
It's in Hansard, so it is true.

Perhaps you may want to "live" it a bit more rather than read an article Maw
Not in the slightest mutually exclusive , SAAK.

No, I just watch things in real life to be honest. I don't go and read all the "articles" produced. Ive lived it. There is no article on this earth that would make me say from wanting to get out of the EU.

Excellent, balanced article, Welshwife. Well worth reading - nothing 'ranty' about it. Thanks for posting.

Well, you must read/have read something, surely, saak. Else how are you so certain that the EU is the cause of everything you perceive to be a problem?

I did read the article and while I found it a bit of a rant, with more than a few daft comments, some good points were made. But on the general question - should remainders just shut up and accept the result - the answer must be why should they? It's a free country and, within reason, its up to them whether and when they want to shut up. Farage, I believe, prior to the result said he wouldn't accept a remain result unless it involved a 2/3rd majority.

Perhaps you may want to "live" it a bit more rather than read an article Maw?

Im not one to read "articles" there are so many

Sadly, that is hardly the way be better informed.
Perhaps it says it all.

You are talking the money it has cost - the article shows how much more it will cost UK to leave!!

Im not one to read "articles" there are so many. I just know what i want to happen and it is. Ive lived the EU for years, I also live in the heart of London still and have seen what it's done. Ive seen with my own eyes!

Retainers? Is that what we are?
Read the article, stillalive.

I like this paragraph about David Davis.

'One of the Brexiters, David Davis, says publicly in replies to correspondents to his Department for Exiting the European Union that the 51.9% referendum majority is “clear, overwhelming and unarguable”. When the Supreme Court had to be called in to require the government to have a Parliamentary debate about triggering Article 50, and it voted 8-3 – a 73% majority – he said publicly that this majority is “tenuous”. This is precisely representative of the degree of intellectual honesty at work in the Brexit mentality.'

Says it all really.

Its not about "giving in" its about respecting the majority rule then being positive about it. More damage is being done by retainers trying to fight their corner. It's costing a bloody fortune and will never ever come to be. Did anyone ever teach you to be a good loser?

Several times people who are ardent Brexiteers have asked why those of us who voted to remain have not just rolled over and given in. Here is a link to a rather long article will - if you can manage to read it all - might give you an idea.

I think you're getting my post mixed up with someone else's GGMKII

yes, I thought it was a bit daft, not up to JessM's usual insightful standards! But we all have off moments, no offence meant, sorry, at least it made me .

thrust not trust, definitely not trust.

Daft Jalima? It was someone's opinion. Daft or rather childish is You might be sad but there are millions of us who are cockahoop. It will actually be about half the country plus or minus, and not all of them will be "cockahoop" but just trying to get on with life as each day they realise that what they voted for never existed. The majority of the country will be getting on with trying to make it work for the best now it has been trust upon them.

Another busy European city with young people and some middle aged, from all over Europe
It was rather a daft thing to say

^ Another busy European city with young people and some middle aged, from all over Europe^ Well, of course! A lot of people visit Dublin for weekends. I hope that old people are welcome too.

There is quite a lot of racism in Ireland - perhaps not in Dublin which is more cosmopolitan.

How sad, petra, and petty.
