I shared that sentiment too but then when I considered how the 'Brexit' fanboys in the UK revere the likes of Farage, Johnson, Gove, Carswell, Nuttall and their ilk, I began to understand.

It then occurred to me that if I began spouting lies like 'There are no racists in UKIP or the Conservative party' for example, or that, 'Nigel Farage and his fellow 'Brexit' architects deserve the highest civilian honour for their bravery and honesty with the British people!' I do believe that I would be worshipped up and down the country and probably in line to replace Nuttall.

Although Trump remains President for the moment, according to my American friends, his popularity has waned considerably and many Americans are very worried and wonder about what he is going to do next.

The realisation that their 'protest vote' against the American political establishment has gone horribly wrong is starting to dawn on people. Now, doesn't that sound rather familiar!

No, as you said, it's public information and I don't stop you to find out but I don't help you either. I have gone as far as I am willing to.
What have you got to hide? I'm completely lost by your lack of willing to defend your own statement. You continue to claim you fact check your posts, but you won't even defend your own statements.

Why should I defend my statements to the death? You form a view on them as you see fit.

The cliff is made up of many many many small drops that all combine to form the cliff.
Huh? cliff is formed by small drops? Not by erosion?*
Did you teach your pupils that fact?

*in the brexit case, is it not that cliff edge is formed by propaganda?

there is and has always been a degree of bullying and intimidation but I think a lot of MPs changed their mind too, not just their stance. It sounds more principled to say that they respect the will of the people that they have simply changed side.
The fact remains that about 400 constituencies voted for brexit, brexit does from that angle represent the will of the people, at the very least, in England.


I don't think bridges are burnt.
The Daily Mail and the Express do not represent the view of the majority. For example, most people accept immigration, they only want it controlled to much greater extent than now.

In respect of point 1 listed above,I can accept that some MP may have genuinely changed their minds or were originally commited to the brexit concept, and now believe that Brexit is in the long term interests of the UK, Europe and the EU, to lesser or greater extents and I am prepared to accept that others genuinely believe that they are there to solely to represent their constituents and not to have views of their own, .I find it hard to accept that these were majority positions.
In respect to point 2, about burning bridges, the incedenary comments of your PM stating that the UK would undercut Europe unless she got her way , amplified by the comments attributed to IDS, a previous leader about millions of Romanians, and the crass new guidelines by your home office immigration service, demanding that legitimate EU citizens ,without private health insurance be deported... Need i say more.
