As Dawkins said this morn.

It means we are leaving the European Union

 

Well, in simple terms , it means we're leaving the EU. In more in depth terms it means " We will not be absorbed by a Federal State, We will not go quietly into the night. We will assert our independence and right to exist as the United Kingdom. June 23rd 2016 was our Independence Day."

 

Nah, all it proves is that us public were fed lie after lie..... By both sides,,,, because no one knows what will happen once our notice to quit the EU comes to pass.. Let's face it Jack, it ain't gonna be the end of the bloody world. Start having a bit of faith in your country.. Heck, have a bit of faith in yourself. Stop thinking it's all doom and gloom.. Say to yourself daily from now on "I reject Project Fear ." Our destiny will belong to the British nation, not to some faceless bureaucrats in Brussels.

 

Does this mean you believe another human being, mainly an MP (who just happens to be paid a lot more than you) has the brains and information to deny you that same referendum? Christ sake.

 

Brexit has now become that bet on a game of pool you have with your mate, after you beat him he says he wants a rematch because he was playing old rules

 

No, I think it means he's a sore loser.

 

If that were the case there's a good chance that UKIP would be in power, or at least be the opposition.

 

Yep, you're absolutely correct,,, although ,,,,,,

Doesn't quite ring true ,, does it? (at least not from what Jack posts )

 

The vote was a statement of what the majority were against ie the EU. It tells us nothing as to what they are for.

 

Which points would they be?

Is that people don't have "enough brains" one of them?

 

I don't know where you live but I've been round pretty much all of this big island and I'll unequivocally state that the vast majority of folk I've met have "enough brains" to make decisions.
Perhaps you live in Southampton? I've never been there on principle but as they all support the scummers they must be pretty thick. I'd certainly deny scummers the vote till they see the light and switch allegiance to Pompey.

But the other side of your 'point', credible information, I totally agree with...as i've said many times before.

I'll repeat, this isn't about dumb people not being able to think, it's about a culture. A culture where the politicos and media lie through their teeth, where the education system does nothing to foster social conscience or political nouse, where post Thatcher it's dog eat dog, where self image is king and self confidence is trampled....I could carry this list on for a good while.

But none of this is down to people being too thick. Apart from the scummers.

I actually worry about people who think everyone else is thick!

And yes, I would rather us masses led than be led by fools who sign off on Trident, bail out greedy and lying banks, invade other countries, have no foot in reality....another list that could go on and on....and a lot of it feeds into the other list!

 

And on topic....a culture where zealous empathy lacking biologists are held up as being political experts when they make the kind of undemocratic statements that people like your good self and DA support!

Soz DA

 

"enough brains" is actually Jack's term, DA. Hence my placing it in quotation marks.

I used to live in Devon, not too far down the A361 from you and I certainly noticed the majority having "enough brains".

Again though, perhaps not enough credible info etc....

As you had the time to address a post I made to Jack, I'd be very interested in your thoughts on the post I addressed to you on the last page (ETA, page before last now)
No biggy if you don't have time though. I already have my own answer, am just interested in yours too
