    So you’re saying it’s worked out badly?

    Any examples of things that would have worked out well had 'remoaners' not put a spanner in it?

    Sorry but this is utter nonsense. There has been definite resistance from remainers through the whole process, but Boris was literally given a mandate by the public with that majority in parliament. He delivered nothing.

    The problem is (and always was) him, Farage, and their cronies never had a plan for delivery. They talked a good talk about deals with x,y,z and controlling immigration etc.. but when did they even try to deliver? When did they negotiate these 'Canada type' deals or trade agreements with Australia? When did they put forward or even draft a new immigration policy? All the ever did was blow a lot of hot air without ever being willing to put in the hard graft.

    I was always a strong remainer but let's be honest. A properly delivered Brexit could have still done a lot of good. But don't put the fact that it didn't happen on the people who were never responsible for delivering it.

    I’m not sure that’s true. They get a disproportionate amount of air time in relation to their representation in Parliament. But that’s because UK democracy isn’t……well….very democratic.

    It's the system voted for in the referendum in 2011, 68% of the over 19 million voted for FPTP to be maintained. You and I may not like it, but you can't say it's not democracy in action.

    Well, I can. It’s not a very democratic system imo. Though I take your point.
    Government’s are going to have to stop letting the English have their say in referendums. Every time they are asked for their view, they come up with the most stupid answer. A fairer voting system? No thanks; Devolution? No thanks and Brexit? Yes please.
    And that’s without invoking their brilliant choices in the 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 General Elections. You couldn’t make it up.

    So if the UK had remained neutral there’s a chance he wouldn’t exist…

    Maybe he’s got a point

    It wouldn't be wrong but the nazi bigots wouldn't know what to do. It would also help some of them change their views
