Not so there are not really two sides, only the same side falling out, no one is really representing the majority view that Brexit is dead in the water and that is the problem.
Methods being employed by the leave campaign are straight out of the Nazi rulebook, it is pointless to deny the fact.
And this has been the case all along.
And both sides have their zealots.

What is the Biggest lie of all?
That remainers are trying to cancel Brexit and annul the referendum

Quite simply what is going on is a battle about leaving not remaining

Does anyone actually know how many MP's are campaigning to cancel Brexit?
A handful at most

Someone should point out that this headline is simply misleading the public to gain support
From the Express
Remain revolt will trigger election: Boris and Farage ARE ready for Brexit fight at polls
BORIS JOHNSON will call an election within days if Remainers succeed in blocking a no-deal Brexit.

There is NO remain revolt it's a fiction. yet another lie
The revolt is against no deal and a bad deal.
And that's the pity of it all.
What is going on is irrelevant and dishonest to pretend that the Remain faction is in fact a threat.
There are too few of them to represent what is now the major part of the voting public.
What we have is two bunches of thieves squabbling over the loot, not trying to give it back!

discussing brexit in the most rational way and with the benefit of our much above average education.

Trying to reason with people, more in hope than expectation that they may be better aware of reality, rather than the fiction presented by media propaganda of all types.

Or after the 31st Oct say Nov 5th and we still find ourselves out with a Hard Brexit - with Farage /BP having done its job levering BJ / Tories to its bidding...
Isn't that date rather, umm, significant with respect to those who sought to overthrow parliament?

I must congratulate Cummings on running a bigger fear campaign than any previous one.
Fingers expects "Pretty much the same." after Brexit
But the official line is
Plans to Evacuate the Queen if there are riots after Brexit
British officials have revived Cold War emergency plans to relocate the royal family should there be riots in London if Britain suffers a disruptive departure from the European Union next month, two Sunday newspapers reported.

“These emergency evacuation plans have been in existence since the Cold War, but have now been repurposed in the event of civil disorder following a no-deal Brexit,” the Sunday Times said, quoting an unnamed source from the government’s Cabinet Office, which handles sensitive administrative issues.

The Mail on Sunday also said it had learnt of plans to move the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth, to safe locations away from London.

Such confidence.
Remind me again why is the Government intent on following a policy that could lead to riots?

Because there was a referendum.

I swear you are forgetting things more and more often.

You ask about three times a day why we are leaving.

Their viewpoints are different.
quantum mechanics shows that both sides can be right at the same time and seemingly the same place, but the macroscopic effect is always one of probability.

Both sides can be wrong too. That's more likely.

But we have to honour the vote and democracy.

Of course the EU will do it's best to stop us making a success of it.

But leave we must.

that's the nub of the problem.
Both sides claim that democracy is on their side, with some success.
Honouring the vote is not the same as respecting our democratic system.

Of course Leave would like to equate democracy to respect of the vote, while remain claims that the rules were not respected thus they cannot accept the vote and wants a replay. While the referees ague with one another, some will claim that referees are corrupt while we spend billions to prepare for something that only the extremists would want.

Indeed not, and certainly not now the whole idea has been exposed as a tax Dodgers charter, and entirely against the interests of the public

Has it?

More drivel and fantasy.

You need to cool your jets. You are not doing your health any favours. You are going on full rage mode and upsetting yourself over something you have no control over.

Edit. Where did the money go that 'rescued' the Greeks? You talk about fantasist beliefs about tax dodging where I can prove to you how corrupt the EU is to the elite bankers.

The bailout money given to stop Greece going bankrupt came from the European Central Bank and the IMF, e.g. the taxpayers of France, Germany and other wealthy nations of Western Europe. None of that money went to help the ordinary people of Greece. All of it was used to make payments on the Greek government’s existing debt — mostly to banks in Western Europe. So Angela Merkel and other EU leaders effectively extorted money from their own taxpayers to hand it directly to the biggest European banks, mainly in their own countries- It was a direct wealth transfer from ordinary people to the financial elite. The same irresponsible financial elite who had plunged the world into chaos.

What about Italy? The 4th largest economy in the EU. It has a very broad manufacturing base. It should be absolutely in clover if the economic benefits of the EU are so great. Why do they have a growth rate of less than tenth of the global average over the past 20 years? Think about that.

The Euro is not weighted correctly. It's been baled out w times already. A new wave is just round the corner.

What about the migrant crisis? Paying Turkey to quietly sweep it up under their desert. w=With literally no plan but to hope the boats sink.

Corruption and Tax avoidance master classes are taught in Brussels.

And you think they are some benevolent uncle....
