Loometh upeth...
Just curious to ask if anyone regrets voting the way they did, voting either way?
I voted leave, after 2 weeks of deliberating over how i felt intuatively, seeing what others said, seeing what eu leaders had to say, how othe countries were treat by the eu... The works. I even weighed up the thoughts of
Someone on her who quoted socrates...
It looks like the die is cast (barring some weird exceptional hand brake turn)
As we head over the event horizon, and tighten our seatbelts... anyone regret the way they voted? |

"Hubby and I voted to remain and we don't regret it for a minute, still think we were right but its a done thing so we have to make the best of it"
I haven’t heard anyone said to have changed their mind either way.
“Making the best of it”, I mean we will all be doing that every day. We will be worse off and have less rights, but that is now out of our hands. |

I voted remain as I thought it was more likely we’d get a brexit that has more additional “cost” to us than any “benefits” leaving may bring.
Given the nature of our leaving, we are a million miles away from the perfect storm of getting away from the largest risks of the Eu while still keeping the overall benefits. And so I’m happy I voted remain.
I also think brexit is a huge distraction from the real issues we are facing and so there is an “missed opportunity” cost which will have a slow effect in us. But will admit I hadn’t really thought about that when I voted. But it is why is vote remain again in a second referendum... this is all too distracting from real shit. |

Not changed opinion, just waiting for the keys to the mansion & Lamborghini come the 29th  |

I was unsure how I'd vote in the referendum and still perceived that I'd not got sufficient information to take an appropriate decision. I voted to remain and am so very glad that I did, as it's become much clearer since that vote that to remain is the far better path for the UK. Since that point greater volumes of important information and details are around and it's certainly clear that the conservative party had absolutely no plan, should leave have been decided. To make matters worse, they initiated Article 50 without having taking key decisions as a party, so most of the 2 years of Article 50 time have been spent on the conservatives trying to decide what it is they want. Wasted time, at huge cost  And we still don't know if the government's negotiated offer will be accepted by the vote in January.
With so little time remaining, the government would be fit and proper if it cancelled Article 50, so that the country can be saved from an imminent catastrophe that is avoidable. It could then reissue it, at a time when the government and country is ready, should it select to do so. |

i only asked people on the leave side of the debate one question....
"tell me the worst that could happen if i voted leave!"
they won't answer that question...... so i voted remain
they still won't answer that question.... so i am happy with the decision i made
the only saving grace i think we have is that easter this year is late! so we have a 3 week window between leaving date and easter for a lot of the shitshow that i fear will happen in the no deal scenario to go down! |

Who are you trying to kid Fabio? You'd still have voted remain even if a Brexiteer did answer that question. You've always been a remainer and you're still a remainer now. |

There’s little that’s fit and proper about this government now - or the opposition front bench - so we have to trust the cross-party backbenchers to vote down May’s “deal” so that there can be an Article 50 reset. No sane government would push for no-deal... Oh, I said sane didn’t I. |

actually centy... it is the same view i took during the scottish referendum, which was "if you want to change things... be honest and tell me the worst thing that could happen, and if i could honestly say "well i could live with that" then i would support it....
all i ever asked for a bit of honesty.....
simple question... whats plan b?
the problem is that the Scots Nats couldn't/wouldn't answer that question... and the hardline brexiteers still can't/won't answer that question!
who knew you had something in common.... |

You'd still vote remain though. You're not kidding anyone. |

He never will, he's all about missing the point and trying to turn things into a right/wrong scenario...he usually undermines himself doing this but he's never wrong! |

The worse thing I see happening from Brexit is that Nigel Farage won't be in the European Parliament anymore to expose them all as the utter clowns they are.  |

And there lies the real problems with politics today.
I am sure there are decent politicians on all sides. Trying to make a difference. However, they seem to be in the minority.
This then leads to the general public thinking they are all just there for the beer.
This probably puts more decent people off standing, and undermines the ones trying to do a good job.
Too many politicians have taken the same route into the "business", and what ever side they end up on, look alarmingly similar. |

March 29th is probably going to be a pretty shitty day. It's the day we begin clearing all the shit up that this fiasco has created. Roll your sleeves up Britain. It's going to be a long time before it doesn't smell of shit any more.
Unless............ |

I met my fella in the pub tonight in Bristol.
He was in conversation with another guy.
Other guy seemed very animated.
Tell me your opinion, he asks.
I have no idea what they have been talking about.
Sausages, I ask?
Brexit, he replies.
Que Sera Sera, I said, thinking I don't need this, not when I just went out for a laugh.
Well, it made him laugh.
So much so he bought me a drink.
People are starting to get hot under the collar about this.

I don’t think there is an “unless”.
Nothing much will change on the 29th, but it will be the start of the long slow steady decline as the Tories remove the red tape of workers rights, human rights, environmental protection one piece at a time. And the job losses will be gradual too coming over time.

"Perhaps the lorry holding areas should be distributed across the UK, using leave areas such as Mansfield, Cannock et, so locals get a feel for the changes"
its consistent with some of the suggestions on the Irish border !!

Rather than the trucks get sent down the M25 and on to Dover, they could be queuing on the roads around Mansfield, A38, A60 and its town centre as well as Cannock, off the M6 and M6 Toll, the A5, past Asda and around Cannock park. As Kent makes spaces free, the midlands and north holding roads would release some. Drivers could help boost those financial black spots forming relationships with eager locals. Any other towns to be opted in? |

Isn’t the new test to see if you support something is to have it in your home?
All those who are in favour of brexit to donate their drive/road to a lorry ?

i do.... i am just point out that if there is "no deal" the channel tunnel is very likely to be closed for a bit.... which is going to place extra pressure on that lovely town on the kent coast we keep talking about....
who's opinion is this?

You disagreeing with them??? |

Why is it that you think you know better than all the young people who would like to stay in the EU? I mean you have already demonstrated that you don’t understand the global world we now live in, so why do you think you know better than them? The younger generation have to live with this. I mean, you are not a spring chicken and won’t have to deal with the consequences of this as much.

The sad thing about many of the most vocal leavers is that they see themselves in such a positive go-getting pro-active light and portray themselves as brave and heroic whereas from many peoples point of view they are taking a dangerously uninformed risk with our lives either out of desperation or hubris. Its the triumph of the individual over the group which is so disappointing but maybe that's only to be expected in the personality driven culture we live in in these days which values baubles and trinkets over society.  |

There is no triumph of the individual over the group, 17.4million voted to leave that made it a majority of voters who took part in the referendum!I'm sure you knew that but hey what's a few million votes when you are writing a load of codswallop! |

Even if 60% had voted leave, that wouldnt affect one jot the impact of a no deal. Just because a majority of people want to leave doesnt mean that it's either a) the right thing or b) without negative consequences. |

so attacking the poster... but not the facts within the post... thats cool!!!, says a lot!!!
i am just sorry it didn't suit your agenda... i mean, if it meant that much to you, you could have always skipped that post......
... or come back to it at another time.....
... but since you didn't you are in no place to be lecturing people in what they can or can't say... or what and when they can say it! 
so you can always start to practice what you preach now... and skip this post! |

So what’s your point? I think that it was such a close result that trying to say it was a decisive victory is a bit of a stretch but thats just my opinion which I am as entitled to state as your interesting point of view about towing refugees out to sea but hey whats a little democracy between friends? |

There was not "millions of votes" between the two sides -just over ONE million which was 3.9% difference! |

I never said there was millions of votes difference! The previous poster said it was a victory for the INDIVIDUAL (SINGULAR!) over the group which it clearly wasn't so no need to get your french knickers in a twist! |

i do.... i am just point out that if there is "no deal" the channel tunnel is very likely to be closed for a bit.... which is going to place extra pressure on that lovely town on the kent coast we keep talking about....
who's opinion is this?
Conservative run Kent County Council......
You disagreeing with them???
You have pointed it out numerous times before it's old news coming from you, so couldn't you have just given it a rest for the first day of the new year! Some people like to wallow in misery it suits their character!
so attacking the poster... but not the facts within the post... thats cool!!!, says a lot!!!
i am just sorry it didn't suit your agenda... i mean, if it meant that much to you, you could have always skipped that post......
... or come back to it at another time.....
... but since you didn't you are in no place to be lecturing people in what they can or can't say... or what and when they can say it!
so you can always start to practice what you preach now... and skip this post!"
Lol must have been a crap Christmas and new year for misery guts!
You can carry on with you posts about family members enjoying sexual practices with each other as you seem to be getting off on it so much! |

"The sad thing about many of the most vocal leavers is that they see themselves in such a positive go-getting pro-active light and portray themselves as brave and heroic whereas from many peoples point of view they are taking a dangerously uninformed risk with our lives either out of desperation or hubris. Its the triumph of the individual over the group which is so disappointing but maybe that's only to be expected in the personality driven culture we live in in these days which values baubles and trinkets over society.
There is no triumph of the individual over the group, 17.4million voted to leave that made it a majority of voters who took part in the referendum!I'm sure you knew that but hey what's a few million votes when you are writing a load of codswallop!
So what’s your point? I think that it was such a close result that trying to say it was a decisive victory is a bit of a stretch but thats just my opinion which I am as entitled to state as your interesting point of view about towing refugees out to sea but hey whats a little democracy between friends? "
Look up the definition of "individual" and you will see what my point is! |

"Tell us about all the benefits we'll see on March 30, then.
I'll go one further...
challenge a leaver to open a thread called March 30th... and let them put in all the positives they think they will see between march 29th and march 30th?
It will be interesting to see just how rosey-eyed our "friends" actually are...... Fabio happy new year and stop being so negative,30th of March nothing will happen it will be another day.Benefits are a few years away but if you have children they will be so pleased 10 years from now that we left,now please get a life
Why is it that you think you know better than all the young people who would like to stay in the EU? I mean you have already demonstrated that you don’t understand the global world we now live in, so why do you think you know better than them? The younger generation have to live with this. I mean, you are not a spring chicken and won’t have to deal with the consequences of this as much.

very funny,when I was young I thought I knew it all but learned that in many cases the older generation ways right.I have shown I know a lot about world events Tec and a lot about history but you do not by your arrogant remarks |

There was not "millions of votes" between the two sides -just over ONE million which was 3.9% difference! "
1 million is a lot ofpeople |

Don't worry, we know you 'understand tec' so will let you off. But after your comment in the ferry thread, I'm still not convinced. But then I don't think that was a tech issue either.
As for the post you were replying to about 'personality driven culture' and ' baubles and trinkets'... I don't know. Those are usually (generalising) traits I'd associate with a younger generation. And that doesn't tally with the general vote stats.

Seriously. Can you start a thread and tell us specifically what Brexit means?
Not generalisations. Specifics. How many years is a short time? Why will your life not get worse? Why will Britain become "great"? In how many years? What industries will grow? What trade deals will we get? With whom? How long will it take? What do they want to buy from us? What will they want in exchange for a deal?
You must have thought about this. Right? |

An "independent" think tank has costed the BREXIT vote...
That's what BREXIT is looking like before we lose 50+ trade agreements so the BREXIT cost figure is only going to skyrocket
BREXIT looks lovely

"I voted Leave. Don't regret it one single bit. Can't wait until March to get out. spot on "
You're like a seen from "One Flew Other a Cuckoo's Nest" you lot. LOL
Anyway, enjoy your fun while it lasts because if the lunatic fringe of Britain's society and politics is not reigned in by mid March it will definitely get it comeuppance on April's Fools. Hopefully after that you guys will slink back to the lunatic fringe of society and politics from whence you came and where you truly belong; while those of us who actually care about our country and its people can start to put right the damage you've done in the 2 1/2 years you've been running amok with people's lives and futures.

After 2 1/2 years of asking and getting no sensible answer from any of them you don't seriously expect to get an one now, do you?

I read a post on FB by a friend and it said " Sometimes you have to give up arguing with people and just let them get on with being wrong". Or words to that effect.
I'm not saying I'm right by the way, just bored of arguing. Positions are very entrenched and I feel content to just let it all wash over me and see what happens on March 29th.
I've got my Lev for my skiing trip in january, already suspecting that things really are about to go tits up. Hopefully I am wrong which is a bit of Ironic isn't it. Going to Bulgaria again in March. My betting is I will get a lot less Lev for my pound than I got back in December. |

That doesn't make the quote any less pertinent.

So then, by your logic, we should listen to what he said.
Unfinished business |
