The public didn’t vote for “no deal”. Find a single instance of a Leave campaigner that said we’d leave with no access to the single market or we’d remove frictionless trade. Find a single instance of a Leave leader saying we’d be worse off.


You don't need a Leave campaigner to say it. The Government's own propaganda made it very clear. No single market, no customs union, etc.

That was what the government warned would happen, but remain said it wouldn't. That's the point. If Leave had campaigned for no single market, no customs union and acceptance of a recession we wouldn't be having this debate.

Answer me this one question Mr Newres. Say we have another referendum and it is "legally binding" and leave win. Do you then think that should be ignored as well as you and your #fbpe friends think differently? Just wondering....

Interestingly I have also had to block EU propaganda that is being promoted EVERY day on my Twitter feed.. anyone would think some dark shadowy globalisation type figures were funding it all....😂

I've no idea what #fbpe is, but if there was another referendum and leave won either May's deal or No deal I think that's what should happen. We now know what is achievable in terms of a deal (not much without free movement) and the likely cost.

Referendums aren't elections though. They are just opinion polls. So whilst our government said they would enact the result, they were under no legal obligation to.
That's the difference.

So a pointless wast of time, effort and money then?
And even more reason not to have another one?

"Standing for "Follow Back Pro Europe", it's a twitter movement consisting of sore Remoaners from the UK's 2016 EU referendum (Brexit) who want to ignore the original result to leave the EU and either tear up Article 50 and remain in the EU or keep having more referendums until they get the remain result they want.

Originally intended as a movement just for the remain argument, it has also become a hotbed for Blairite and centrist MP's and figureheads that use the movement to rally support for their failed neoliberalism politics.

As a result encounters with those on twitter with #FBPE hashtags can in most cases be rude or out of touch with the plight of millions suffering from UK austerity policies, and ignore every issue the UK faces other than brexit."

Is about right.

I don’t need to imagine it. It’s a daily thing. Farage every time he speaks in the EU Parliament for a start. And incidentally you do know he’ll be keeping his EU pension.

It is very frustrating at the moment though because Labour is very much a Remain party and I’m quite certain that if a confirmatory referendum was offered by them they would be on a par with the Brexit party. It’s mad because if Farage polls 30% and is a clear leader it will be claimed as a win for no deal despite the average poll since 2017 giving remain an average 8 point lead. Corbyn’s game is the destruction of the Tories at whatever the cost.

But what if UKIP, the Brexit Party, and the Conservatives deliver 50%? And that's without Labour? What then... does that mean the polls are as always b0llocks, because a lot of people don't want to put a head above the parapet and get called thick and racist? What then? Just ban people from voting if they don't have the "right" opinion???

I also think the Brexit party will poll nearer 40 percent. 34 percent in the polls.. you can add 6 percent who are not saying...

Very few will vote Tory, slightly more will vote labour, almost no one will vote UKIP (as a party it's now useless), lot of people will vote brexit. Polls (usually a load of wishful codswallop) indicate more votes for brexit than Tory and labour combined.

Nippy Nige,

"Asked why he did not advocate a no-deal Brexit at the time of the EU referendum in 2016, Mr Farage said: "Because it was obvious that we could do a free trade deal.

"The problem is the prime minister never asked for it, so we finished up in the mess that we're in," he said.

"She chose to go for this close and special partnership. Basically right from the start she was happy for us to be kept very close to the customs union".

"So where we are now, the only way the democratic will of the people can be delivered is to leave on a WTO (World Trade Organization) deal."

Did you see his interview on Andrew Marr? He doesn’t stand up to scrutiny at all. His position on Brexit has shifted and he lied to cover it then eventually saying it was all because May messed it up. The truth was always that without free movement it was always going to be that way.

Was it not right to ask him why he is now campaigning for no deal rather than a deal? It’s the crux of the issue and a betrayal of those who voted leave in good faith believing the EU would capitulate to our demands. You saw the clip played and his lying that he was arguing for no deal before the referendum. Once he started being shifty Marr asked him other awkward questions. He’s been unchallenged for weeks on the no deal lie.

Why is it that the “had” make out that all along they voted for something that was never mentioned at the time. We could have a better deal than Norway because we’re British he said. Paraphrasing obviously. He’s finally being called out on it and he didn’t like it one little bit.

He’s obviously going to do well in the EU elections. There really is only way out of him claiming the election is a second referendum and that’s to call a second referendum.

Won't make a ha'p'orth of difference whatever the outcome of the MEP election is as parliament will not agree a no deal exit anymore than May's deal, which conveniently leaves staying in, but even that has to be drip fed to those ungrateful idiots who voted leave over the next 5 years in the hope that most will be in advanced stages of dementia by then. Still JC has the right idea in "buying" the yoof vote, (especially using other peoples money), so maybe the same principle should be applied to brexit? Free oranges for remainers? rolleyes.gif
