Could you tell me what you’ve got against the EU? (apologies if you’ve covered this before) Your avatar gives your allegiance away somewhat (but don’t forget Freddie, though Queen’s English, was from Zanzibar☺️)
And I’d like Death’s view on the same topic...again, I know you said before you’ve made it clear in previous posts, but just a concise summary.
Genuinely interested in both your views
To be honest if you read my posts you'll see that my stance is not so much anti EU but now more anti Parliment and MPs, if we'd have voted to stay then so be it, no big deal. I voted to leave because I thought we'd be better off on a world stage at our own devices, but it was no massive sway in my life, In fact I'd never really given any thought to leaving until Cameron decided to have a vote. But now we've voted to leave it must be honoured, you cannot live in a democracy then try and change the result because those that lost shout the loudest. At every turn you see pompous self appointed people telling us that the leave voters have no idea what they're on about, that we're closet racists that we're ill educated thugs. Regardless of our vote they going to do their very best to stop the result.
Most of the anger now being directed is from leave voters not against the EU but MPs who have blatantly ignored the will of their own constituents in many cases, some MPs leaving parties yet still having the gall to stand under a different banner and not have a by election yet at the same time calling for a people's vote.
You've got the Lib dem leader actually openly campaigning to stop Brexit altogether regardless of the 52% who voted for it, the Scottish Nationals, who lost a once in a lifetime, yeah right! Vote to leave the UK and therefore should accept the result of the Brexit vote, openly calling for another Nationalist vote for the Scots. What do we do, keep voting until they all get the result they want..
Like I've said I've no real grief with the EU, I'm not anti EU, it probably won't make much difference in the long run whether we stay or leave, I honestly don't know, my anger now is directed at those who attempt to stifle what people voted for and blatantly try everything to prevent Brexit happening.
That's my honest and trueful answer.
East stand second class citizen.
