Sometimes you can blame the leg when in fact it's something else that's causing the pain and hurt your struggling with and blaming the leg and cutting it off might not solve it.
Oh and BTW
Whilst 17.4 million 3 years ago may want to have their leg cut off there were 16.8 plus 12m who didn't vote along with the extra million or so that are now eligible to have an opinion who werent back then, who are very much against having their leg cut off without knowing the full facts.
I'm more than happy now I have explored those facts with my decision 3 years ago not to cut it off but to have a 2nd opinion and would suggest it may be a good idea to ask those people again to confirm they actually want it cut off.
And the leg analogy downtown really work when (and I can only be honest here) I feel the vast majority of people voted to cut MY leg off without knowing what they know now.'"
The 3 years that have passed, those that didn't vote and those that have become eligible (plus those that may no longer be able to vote) are utterly irrelevant.
Any referendum can only be a snapshot at the time.
The whole problem that we have currently is that Parliament wont put through the deal that was put before it (May's deal) and has now passed a law preventing no deal and until Boris is able to agree a new deal with the EU and his time is running out pretty quickly, we remain stuck in limbo.
There should be a seperate discussion about the lies that were peddled by the "leave" group but, quite frankly, the "remain" camp were so bloody arrogant and lazy with their campaign that, they couldn't persuade the majority of the voting public to side with them.
The Leave camp all insist that "they knew what they were voting for" and I'm sure that they did but, what they certainly didn't know and still dont know is what they are going to get.
What we know for sure is that there was NEVER going to be an extra £350million a week for the NHS
There is still no viable solution for the Irish backstop and this was not mentioned by leave or remain during the referendum
and Turkey, despite being "about to join" the EU are not even a small step closer to doing so.
The one certainty is that Brexit has made our country more divided and a less safe place to live so, it's all been really worth while so far.

Ahh there speaks the soul of the Conservative and Unionist party. There can't be too many of the party's principles left now?
I think many or even most people in Northern Ireland would be happy for us to draw the EU line up the middle of the Irish Sea as long as they also remain part of the UK. The amount of capital and investment which would flow to Belfast would make them an economic powerhouse almost overnight.

You mean REPORTED hate crimes, and if you believe you can attribute that to tje EU referendum you are borrowing straws to clutch at.
Remoaners will turn any statistic to their cause. I wanted to remain, we have voted leave, people need to deal with it, just as I'll have to deal with it if Labour win a GE again in my lifetime.

It's not as if it is new. There are already checks in place on animals & animal derived products going to NI from the mainland.

Ah, right ?
So with a referendum based largely on "too much immigration" had zero effect on hate crime. Wow, just wow.
No straw clutching from me but, utter denial from you.
Have you not noticed Boris' key "election" pledge of recruiting 18,000 more police officers, maybe this was because he thought thet the uniform looked smart and in no way a response to increasing crime of all types, perhaps this is another sign of the safer streets that we all live on
I dont care what you voted, it doesn't seem to have stopped you being wrong on the issue of crime.
Mind you it was interesting to hear on of the most senior police officers yesterday, saying that, taking account of the policemen/women that are expected to leave the force in the next 3 years, coupled with the drive to recruit 18,000 new officers, they would need around 500,000 applicants.

Yes I think that must be about the most absurd a statement as I've read from a quitling. What their side of the debate simply cannot cope with is that the billboards, negative messages from the leave campaign and everything since has normalised hate. People who have always had vile views about race, sexuality and just about any other characteristic, realised they could now give voice to it. And once they'd stopped swallowing down the hate they found they couldn't stop spewing it. These Neanderthals even occasionally gift wrap the hate by adding a slogan such as "We voted OUT" whilst harassing the polish couple. But then I suppose that's not a reference to the referendum. It must be about the Hokey Cokey or something.

Nah, apparently it's just reporting that has increased, with the actual figures coming down
I know that social media can distort all issues and that most things, especially that which is on line, need tempering.
However, there is absolutely no doubt that the polarised views which so many people now hold, have caused irrevocable damage to society.
And it doesnt help that those demanding that the UK pass it's own laws and give control to Parliament, then chose to close down the institution that they "value" so much.
Self serving hypocrites the lot of em.

In tribute to the departing John Bercow - point of order; it's not 18k *more* police officers - it's 18k of the 20k officers his government has already cut.
I fear the honourable gentleman may have inadvertently misled the house.

I'm well aware of that Bren.
Quite increddible that just a few short months ago, the Tories were trying to tell us that the reduction in police numbers had nothing to do with escalating crime figures and that it was because "we" now needed a different style of policing and it was nothing to do with austerity cuts.
Lies, lies, lies.

You are wrong, I voted remain, have commented as much all along, but I believe in democracy, the majprity voted to leave.
You can attempt to be condescending all you want, I will just laugh. Opinions only count when offered by someone whom you respect, afterall.
"A condescending person tends to have some control issues, insecurities and emotional baggage. They deal with this by inappropriately projecting the persona of a parent or authority figure onto other who, in the eues of any reasonable person, would have as much agency, indepemdencs and personal power as they do."

No you didn't. The remainer who "believes in democracy" / "just wants to get on with it" is a fictional construct of brexiters. It's an unsubtle attempt to artificially inflate the level of support in society for leaving the EU.
