Still told to 'get over it, it's done.

I hate hearing the same conversations over and over again.

Sorry fancythat it’s a characteristic of many GN threads. The only way to miss it is not to read them.

When a thread is started saying "Still told to get over it it' done", anyone reading the site at all, sees it!
It didnt take a genius to know what it was going to be about.

And you will see that my last sentences were talking specifically about people in real life.
So yes, I do avoid hearing the same conversations if I can.
Very much so.

In this instance, at first I did wonder whether it was doing the op damage[it does some people].
But she says not.

Of course it was! Just not a deal you’re happy with. Why on earth are you getting so stressed about this? There’s absolutely nothing you can do about it, so learn to accept it.

I don't get stressed about it- and I will not learn to accept it. That is the whole point of this thread. All those years ago, we were told to 'get over it' as we were a large minority. But now that it is clear that a tiny minority still suport Brexit, and the vast majority do not- then it's time to not get over it at all- but do anything we can to redress the situation.

Barleyfields could you explain what this supposed negotiated 'deal' consists of?

If you don’t know what the deal is, it’s not for me to educate you. You are stressed about it despite your denial (why else would you start this thread?). I’m not. Despite having voted Remain, I accept what has happened and I most definitely won’t get worked up about something I can’t change. That way lie contentment and serenity. I recommend them to you in lieu of all this angst. I have said before, life is short. Enjoy it while you can because tomorrow it may end.

”I hate hearing the same conversations over and over again”

Fine! You don’t need to listen to them, or join in🤷‍♀️

and I will not learn to accept it.

And right there is why others get exasperated.

At least you dont get stressed about it[assuming you dont really].

But personally, I find people in real life who choose not to accept things that have happened,wearing.
On the whole. I avoid them where I can! .

Allira, of course we move forwards- always. But when you make a mistake, especially a massive one, ro go forwards you have to find ways of correcting that mistake, instead of wallowing in it.

I don't think even statistics can beat Brexit on lies!

Well since politicians lie, regardless of Brexit, there’s not really much competition.

Well, to use another cliché, it's time we moved on....

Nobody is stopping you. You’re free to move as far as you like.

Just stop telling other people what to do.

Goodness! You’re touchy!

What henetha says is perfectly valid - we cannot live in the past, we have to deal with the present and work towards a better future.
Don't look back in anger, move on, look forward with hope.
If that's a cliché it's one I just made up.

Not like you to be rude MaizieD 🤔

Write to your MP about this.
I know this is a talk board and people can talk about whatever they want ( within reason ) but nothing will change talking about this on here.
We’re not going to rejoin the EU even if everyone on GN agreed with you.

Maybe your MP can offer more help?

Do you not see the difference between a new government being elected and a Brexit deal having to be negotiated? It would never end. Totally ridiculous suggestion.

Problem is, NO Brexit deal was negotiated!

This is how stats work- with a sample of the population.

A quote attributed to Mark Twain
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

Time to stop digging?

Claremont, by your reckoning, continually having referendums every few years, we could be in and out of the EU like the hokey cokey.

If only 2225 people were asked out of a population of around 69 million (maybe 40 million of voting age) how can this bar chart of the poll possible state 'All Britons' ?
Maybe I am missing something or misreading the chart

Why on earth do we vote every 4 years? Why not bother then?

But Claremont - by your reasoning we’d have to hold a referendum every 10 to 15
years?
because each new generation needs ‘to have their say’ right?
It’s ridiculous.

Not at all ridiculous. When a decision has been clearly proven to have been based on lies, without any plans, and proven to be a disaster on all fronts, and supported by so few, especially those who were not given a voice at the time, and are now the ones most affected- it seems like the only democratic thing to do. Why not?

No, we talk about so many things with GCs, and I never mention B, but they do, as they are so angry about it as they are young adults who are very intelligent. They have thanks us many times.

Surely you are not ‘always’ talking about Brexit with your grandchildren (or anyone else) after all these years Claremont?

Who’s going to pay for that!
