Pantglas2 only one party is saying "No tea" so why would you say that?

I think the ones who shout out about it are just naturally angry and aggressive. Most of them can't even string together a coherent sentence, so I wonder if they really understand what they're angry about. It's a betrayal of democracy, establishment facists and a global conspiracy, innit?

Using your analogy I see it as the toddler being told that he could have whatever he wants for tea and then being told there is no tea......

Watching Question Time, reading GN and listening to others the anger and ire of those who voted leave astounds me. They are it seems prepared to dump everything to get what they want. A constitution, a legal system, parliamentary democracy mean nothing to them. There is only one small party which is actually campaigning to stop Brexit. One will offer a referendum on a deal and one will (so Johnson says) get a better deal or leave with No Deal. So why are they so aggressive? I can only think that they are actually really upset about what they have done. That they realise the Brexit they were sold and voted for never really existed. That the complications of N. Ireland, the prospect of No Deal and huge shortages and the very real economic strictures have just dawned on them. But rather than admit they were misled and possiby wrong they are reacting by blaming everyone else. It's like a toddler promised pudding who knows he has to eat the main course first but is looking at what is being served and screaming "That's too much and I want my pudding NOW!"
