Hah. I have never called you or anyone in this thread a racist. I said one sentence you said was racist, because it was, and you then went on about people playing the race card 100 times

You mean like you are now referring to people who don't agree with you as fascist.
Gosh you are such a sore loser.

Just been looking into the two petitions that are getting loads of press which lead me onto the legally binding thing

Second referendum: No chance of this happening
London one: Obviously a folly + 40% of Londoners voted to leave anyway (Which BTW is more than the % that voted for the Mayor)
The Legality thing: There are two ways that the/a Government can overturn the result if they really wanted too, but are unlikely too do it apparently.

"Little Englander" is an epithet applied in criticisms of British nationalists, English nationalists, or English people who are regarded as xenophobic and/or overly nationalistic and are often accused of being "ignorant" and "boorish". It is sometimes applied to opponents of globalism, multilateralism and internationalism, such as those who are against membership in the European Union

It's the young who will suffer the results of this. It's the young who have been s%%% on from a great height over the last decade or so. Don't expect them to shut up and take it forever

If they have had a hard time over the last decade, half their lives. Why did they want to stay in the EU.
You don't think things through do you.

So are you thinking that the remain voters are anti British ?

The opposite. I am entitled to the view that remain voters saw a better future for British people in the EU.
And that as the voting margin was so close we should ALL work together for a unified future rather than "shut up you are wrong" or "I told you so".

But you are making an assumption that ALL young people had a hard time over the last decade. Where do you get that information from? I only can talk about 2 schools, but in those two schools they voted as a whole to remain when the schools had school referendums (70% remain average). (Age11 to 18 year olds) (and that is from schools that do have migrant students).

No , I was answering another thread where he said the young have had a hard decade. I replied then why would they want to remain.

You don't think things through do you.

Perhaps because they don't blame the EU for the policies of the British government or the banking collapse?

That maybe the 20th time you have accused me of not thinking things through because I don't agree with your grossly over-simplified logic

Strategic thinking is my job.

The vast majority who voted remain did so because they thought we were better in a larger trading organisation, they are no less British.
Surely unity would be encouraged through a national holiday to celebrate what is great about Britain. There is not a split in people who love Britain, is there ?

OK, let's have a national day, why not. However if you really want to encourage unity you should probably recognise that calling it independence day and celebrating in on the 23rd June is not going to appeal to the half of the country who voted to stay together. Also it may well have to be England only, since the United Kingdom now faces imminent break-up

Do you know you are at the top of the blame game.
They blamed the British government and the banking collapse for having a hard time and now they are blaming the continuing problems on leaving the EU.

You need to add a little positive thinking to your strategy.

Just to put things in perspective , there is less chance of Scotland leaving the UK than before the last referendum. And Wales voted to leave.

So we were not in the Euro, we were not part of the schengen zone and we wanted it reformed. Does that sound like a good club to anyone.

I voted IN and would do so again.

However the result is the result, like it or not and the bed has been made to lay in...

I am British and proud to be so. I am also, for the next two years at least, European.

Time to now start pulling together and start moving forward positively.

Oh and time for lots and lots of tea!

I'm becoming embarrassed for you now.

It's less than 48 hours since the result came in...newspapers have a tenuous grip on the truth or accuracy at the best of times let alone when they have wounded pride.
