Fight "Brexit" if you want to

There is a growing grumbling among the wider populace as more comes to light about the effect of Brexit. I'm on the email lists for several anti Brexit movements. Let's be honest their aims are to stop Brexit in its tracks; that does go against the referendum result which by some is seen as heresy. However, as more truths come to light the less feasible Brexit appears.

Now Vince Cable has become LibDem leader he has openly come out saying that his aim is to cancel Brexit. It will be an uphill struggle and not everyone agrees that Brexit should be stopped.

Smaller local events are being planned not just Southern (mainly London) based where you can join in.

In Liverpool (which voted REMAIN) tomorrow(Leaflet and information):
Date: Saturday, 22 July
Time: 10 00 - 1 00
Venue: Lark Lane Farmers' Market
Address: 1 Lark Lane, L17 8UN

You could argue as the Brexiteers will that as a country we are presenting a divided even disloyal image to the EU but when so many of us are trying to resist the cliff edge that is scarcely surprising.

GG If you have a Facebook account there are a number of groups - Europeans, the 48%. EU citizens, I started with one called RIFT - and the others now are all connected and I can see all their posts. They are closed groups so you need to ask to join and are often asked several questions and need to give the info.

I'm in some closed groups so it will seem familiar Welshwife. Thank you.

Well, we can see from MaizieD's insulting post to POGS exactly why so many posters avoid the political pages on here!
ww also chooses to giggle like a schoolgirl over the comment.
Shock, horror, that a GN-er who is not a left winger/Remainer can actually write well ( I mean, steady on, surely not?!)
So MaizieD firstly says she doesn't believe that POGS words were her own, and secondly says congratulations on writing like a Daily Mail reporter.
Charming, isn't it?

Despite my outspoken view on Brexit I do have doubts about the EU but on balance staying part of it is better than being out

My opinion exactly Cindersdad.

Ana Sun 23-Jul-17 17:53:24

Yes, amazing how many lefties must regularly read the DM to know its style so well - even though there are many different writers. Some even write for the Guardian as well! shock horror...

MaizieD Sun 23-Jul-17 18:07:53

The absurdities of the DM (and the Sun) feature regularly in my twitter feed, Ana. I'm familiar with their style.

Ana Sun 23-Jul-17 18:16:35

Hmmm...so are you saying that POGS lied, MaizieD?

Ana Sun 23-Jul-17 18:20:32

(Mind you, I can already imagine your reply)

MaizieD Sun 23-Jul-17 18:26:54

No, I'm not saying that POGS lied. Is that what you think the DM does?

Ana Sun 23-Jul-17 18:29:44

What, says that POGS lies? I doubt they've ever heard of anyone on here...confused

whitewave Sun 23-Jul-17 18:39:07

Love this folks!

Nigel Farage has been ordered to pay back £80 k to the EU for fraudulently using it to fund UKIP. He has started a cloud funding thing. To date he has raised 0 grin

whitewave Sun 23-Jul-17 18:40:24

What would I look for on Facebook?

durhamjen Sun 23-Jul-17 18:42:42

Oh, brilliant, whitewave. Justice at last!
Cheered me up for a week.
Can you take money out of a crowdfunding site?

MaizieD Sun 23-Jul-17 18:54:02

No, Ana. Are you saying that the DM lies?

I assumed that you asked the initial question because you thought that I think that DM reporters tell lies, thus, by likening POGS to a DM reporter I was implying that she tells lies.

hmm

whitewave Sun 23-Jul-17 18:56:14

I haven't a clue dj I don't know how they work!!

GracesGranMK2 Sun 23-Jul-17 18:57:52

Justice - that is good news whitewave.

durhamjen Sun 23-Jul-17 18:57:53

I've donated to a few. I don't think you can, but if you actually put a minus figure in, what would happen?

durhamjen Sun 23-Jul-17 18:58:41

Arron Banks has got lots of money, but he won't fund that, will he?

rosesarered Sun 23-Jul-17 19:00:36

MaizieD you said that you didn't believe for a minute that they were POGS own words.
We had a situation last week where ww said how hurt and upset she was that a poster had ( allegedly) accused her of lying.
Nobody cares however if somebody else is accused of it.
Double standards apply here.

rosesarered Sun 23-Jul-17 19:01:51

As usual.

whitewave Sun 23-Jul-17 19:06:38

Has anyone else joined up to the European thing posted by cindersdad? I have and there seems to be a branch near me..

Oh! Yes I think I will put in -£80k grin

Banks seems to have abandoned ukip.

GracesGranMK2 Sun 23-Jul-17 19:10:48

and there's this ...

LBC Has Retracted Nigel Farage's False Claim About Brexit

whitewave Sun 23-Jul-17 19:13:35

He fought the referendum on lies like that. He won on fraudulent claims and down right lies

whitewave Sun 23-Jul-17 19:15:33

The Fail has warned that recession is looming

durhamjen Sun 23-Jul-17 19:28:27

Has LBC retracted his contract, GracesGran?
