Politics is not my Forte, I'm a simple person but I see you have 2 choices Alternative 1/ people could just accept we're going out and together work out how to make it work in the best way possible Alternative 2/ moan about it at every opertunity, be offensive to the people that voted out and try to be as criticle as possible to the changs that will have to be made Life is too short, I'll go with alternative 1 I think the vast majority of people would be fine with 1 in a normal world. Sadly the level of greed, corruption and self serving on display from our politicians makes it impossible to think the majority will come out of this in good shape, which is why people are irate. If I had an ounce of faith that the government would now do what is best for Joe Public then I would be fine(ish), but that's not happening.

Indeed, in general having a go at people for voting out is misdirected anger at those who exploited people's fear and worries to try and gain more power and money with no regard for the impact it would have on the country and it's people.. and now, when there was an opportunity to maybe make it not a disaster, they're pushing it down the worst possible route just to safeguard their personal political capital.

Politics is not my Forte, was he not the one Adkins quoted as having "Pace & Power"?

"The will of half the people." Lets get rid of all borders and live happily co-operating and sharing and putting people and the planet before selfishness and money. Peace. There's the rub. Everything good that has happened I my lifetime has been down to the protections enjoyed by people and the environment because of EU regulations. But to pro-Brexit shithouses this is all just red tape and they can't wait to ditch it all so their shares in petrochemicals and private health escalate in value. Joe Public voted for Brexit because they hated seeing hard-working Poles and Latvians doing so well. They did not vote for turning Britain into a third-world shit hole - but that is what they'll get.

I don't know anyone who voted to leave but that might be because I don't consort with C.U.N.T.S. How do you block C.U.N.T.S on here? My patience has worn thin I'm afraid. Click on offending user name to go to their profile, then at top right click arrow by cog and select 'Block Member'.

People who voted to leave were voting AGAINST EU and not FOR anything specific. Once the negotiation is finished there should be a second referendum to stay in or to leave under the agreed terms. Of course, it won't happen but it would be more valid. People on either side may change their minds but at least they'll know what they are voting for.

A lot of people really shouldn't have a vote, I include myself in that camp, which is why I don't often bother voting,
I really don't have the knowledge or the interest to bother finding out enough information to make an informative vote
