Remainers keep asking for a Confirmatory vote well in my opinion this is it. All voters have one Vote use it today to vote Leave or Remain at your polling station.

Official results on Sunday night but feel free to do a GN vote here as well if so inclined.

Of those who did vote (in a good turnout) 53% remain and 47% leave according to Sir John Curtice.

The psephologist says 35% Leave, 35%Remain which leaves 30% who don't care or don't know or are fed up with the lot of them.

Nothing has changed.

Nope wrong!

Remain won, and we have the best ??????????

Firecracker123 Mon 27-May-19 07:28:29

I'm the adjudicator

LEAVE WON ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 27-May-19 07:23:46

Nope

It was Remain wot won it ?

The argument is being lost by the hard right.

The U.K. does not want a no deal. We want moderation, we won the battle against the hard right 70 years ago. It needs to be put back in its rightful place.

Even top Tories are warning that they would rather have a GE than allow one of their hard right members take the U.K. down that disastrous road.

It was a resounding first place Firecracker and sends a shot across the bows to the government to ‘get on with it’ but as for actually winning maybe not? I’ve only just started on the newspapers - if you then add up all the votes for Lib Dems and the Greens, did the Brexit Party come out in front?

I hope so! For a party only formed 6 weeks ago they’ve had an amazing result.

cari

I agree but it’s not nice to be called a bully

Just a reminder to try to keep on topic rather than veering off into personal stuff going back and fro and derailing the thread. As we've said before, totally fine to disagree (it's not like the B word is renowned for peaceful accord on or off the forums) but it needs to be done without resorting to personal attacks or turning an interesting discussion into an argument that contributes nothing to the conversation.

GabriellaG54 Sun 26-May-19 21:49:15

I very much doubt that you'll have enough grips to go round.
Pound shop on Tuesday...you get the grips, I'll get the sal volatile. grin

Mycatisahacker Sun 26-May-19 21:47:48

Waiting for the milkshake links from you?

Oh so that’s s no then just insults as you can’t produce

maryeliza54 Sun 26-May-19 21:00:26

The kindergarten is alive and well this evening isn’t it - time some of you put the gin bottle away and went to bed

Mycatisahacker Sun 26-May-19 20:37:37

Good for you Gabriella! Well said

I assume it’s far easier to go over the top on the Internet because in real life friends and family would tell you to get a grip

petra Sun 26-May-19 19:56:12

Nonnie
Your reference to the noise neighbourhood thread
That is an entirely different scenario. Those noisy neighbours have the potential to ruin the quality of life for the OP where as you had a 10? second exchange with a stranger and feel the need to report him. Yes, he was an 'polling officer' official but don't you think your going a teeny weeny over the top.

GabriellaG54 Sun 26-May-19 19:21:48

Why worry about what people have written?
Why make accusations?
Does it really make a difference to your life?
It's like any other social networking site plus the fact that most of us haven't and don't want to meet other GN users in RL.
There are some on here who keep tabs on other posters and might even keep notes or even files on every bit of info you give so they can cross check it with previous posts.
Why?
Ha! You might well ask.
I've no idea but my best guesses are: 1) It matters very much to them.
2) They have little else to occupy their time.
3) They derive great satisfaction from pointing out discrepancies.
4) They are very very sad people.

I personally don't give a hoot as to where anyone lives on any day of the week nor if one day they are married, 5-2 and 7st and the next they are single, bi and an obese 6 footer.
I'm exchanging thoughts and opinions not compiling a database.
Those who have stuff they want to keep private for any reason whatsoever, should be respected and not harassed.

GabriellaG54 Sun 26-May-19 19:05:04

Well, my moniker is my real name so I'm in the clear. ??
I often wonder just who is running this show.
Demanding answers
Name calling
Bullying
Accusatory comments
It beggars belief.

Mycatisahacker Sun 26-May-19 18:25:22

Yep strange that those constantly shouting bitch and bitching actually just don’t like other people challenging them.

Funny that

lemongrove Sun 26-May-19 17:49:04

Nonnie You said you were ‘resting your case’......you clearly aren’t doing.
You have now used the word bitch and bitching about a dozen times on various threads.
Time to move on.

Nonnie Sun 26-May-19 17:42:42

Perhaps some of you would like to transfer to the noise neighbour thread and tell her she is imagining it. You've bitched enough on this thread.

GracesGranMK3 Sun 26-May-19 17:23:44

Sometimes I wish we all had to use our real names instead of nicknames. I do worry when what people have told us about themselves and the things the say in posts. Sometimes it just doesn't add up.

Mycatisahacker Sun 26-May-19 17:18:59

I have a box of grips free to anyone who needs one.
