that's my nightmares tonight sorted

And now follows a party political broadcast on behalf of ...

"People's Vote"? Didn't the people already vote? What am I missing?

#3. snotraddict What am I missing?

Basically everything that has been learned and revealed in the last 2 years. I guess this hasn't been discussed on Faux News or if it has you have had only been treated to the wisdom and lies of unctious Nigel Farage.

Allow me to self-plagiarize.

The evidence is overwhelming that the British voted for Brexit based on lies, fraudulent claims, Russian bot media manipulation and wishful thinking. The public had no idea of the complexity of getting out, the actual costs it would entail, and the hardship it would cause.

People voted for a proposal that was packaged in an appealing patriotic quasi-nationalistic message that deliberately didn’t contain any substantive details and was buttressed by a series of emotionally compelling lies and a clever ad campaign . Now that the actual costs and hardships have become known, the UK will be set back a decade in terms of growth, worse with a hard Brexit, which seems to be the reality now. Putin is laughing his ass off at the instability he has created.

If you had presented this upfront to the UK populous I doubt they would have voted to leave. The EU is not perfect but it is a complicated deal with the devil. The only way I see forward is a second referendum – it is the only democratic option. Present the actual costs and terms of leaving and put it to a vote - do we as a country want to do this? Vote on the actual terms of the divorce not just a slick package of feel good lies.

#4 exactly what I was going to say.

#4 thanks, though you could have left out the innuendos. You don't know me like you think you do.

Personally I don't give a shite, but whenever you go down the wrong track in life, it's painful to reverse course but sometimes necessary for the long run. Personally I don't think being part of the union is good for all countries. It has it's downside. There's always + and - to things, but if the UK wants to stay in, fine.

"The only way I see forward is a second referendum – it is the only democratic option [ummm, a democratic option was already exercised. Only outcomes that you agree with are "democratic"? You kinda sound like Hillary voters. ]. Present the actual costs and terms of leaving and put it to a vote - do we as a country want to do this? [a vote was already taken and passed] Vote on the actual terms of the divorce not just a slick package of feel good lies."

In any situation, both sides will give compelling arguments/spin (Russian bot media- LOL) which makes it impossible for the common citizen to figure out what the truth is. A lot of times people vote their gut feeling and people seemed to not like what was happening or the direction of their country.

I hardly believe most of the folks that voted FOR Brexit were too naive to realize it wouldn't be complicated and probably painful. ALL costs and terms will never be able to be presented, there's too many variables and unknowns. That's life.
