Another Brexit Vote Required, Or You May Lose Scotland From The U.k.
53 Answers
Now that all the lies spun to the UK by Boris and Gove etc etc., have come back to bite the Brexit numpties in England, let’s see it they have the sense to have another vote. If we leave, just wait until next year and when you try to enter an EEC Immigration point. We’re doomed I tells ya!

"maybe but it won't happen."
I know, but it should, really. It is a mess, and now i think the public should have another say. No deal, The deal, No brexit. They should do the 1,2,3 system.
So we know what the majority want, then what the majority would prefer. Say you'd rather no brexit, but you'd also rather the deal than no deal, that should be taken into account.

“Scotland is here for the long haul, even at the price of having to put up with Little Englanders chunterring on like a broken record.”
…and paying many of their bills.
The correlation discovered by the BBC between academic prowess and voting in the referendum is interesting. It says, among other things (yes, I have read it all) that areas with more graduates had a lower incidence of Leave voters. I can quite imagine that. Since Mr Blair’s avowed intention of getting 50% of the nation’s young people to attend university the explosion of people with “degrees” has been noticeable. Many of them are now realising that they were conned and accumulated enormous debt for a useless degree in subjects such as media studies or films. So, who do you trust more to have a realistic view on the nation’s future fortunes: a twenty-five year old with a degree in media studies from Barnsley University, who has spent the last four years looking for a job to suit his talents whilst flipping burgers in McDonalds in order to pay his rent; or a twenty five year old who left school at sixteen with three GCSEs, became a train driver for GWR and is now earning >£50k a year?
I consider that this particular Numptie had an excellent education and can usually hold his own intellectually with most people. I’ve done my research into the EU and probably have a greater grasp than most people what our membership entails and what restrictions it places on this country. I decided, for many reasons too numerous to mention, that I wanted us to leave. Mine was not a rash decision made during the referendum campaign. It was first made in 1992 and has only been reinforced since. I was not persuaded by nonsensical threats of being unable to travel to Europe or that aircraft would stop flying between the UK and the Continent if we left. Yet I have seen interviews with many (allegedly well educated) youngsters on the telly expressing exactly those fears. So forgive me if I take with a pinch of salt the correlation between education and wanting to remain in the EU. The correlation may well exist (and if the BBC says it does it must be true) but why it exists is not so clear.
There are large numbers of people who support Brexit who are far more academically gifted and intellectually blessed than I am. To label them all “Numpties” is just about as insolent as it can get.

You obviously think that Leavers are as stupid as the BBC would have us believe, Spathi. As I said before, around 50% of people want to remain. With three choices, and two for the Leavers, how is the vote going to pan out? Try 50% Leave, 45% “The Deal”, 5% “No Deal”.(Or any combination of the last two you care to come up with).
We've already decided to leave. The only question (if it is put to vote at all) is just how we leave.

NJ, I suspect thats what Spathi and his mates are after - splitting the Leave vote.
By then I am a Numpty who has paid higher rate tax the vast majority of his life, and extra higher for a fair chunk too. Nice to know the thicko's like me can command so much on the market.
Come to think of it I wonder if my daughter (Doctor) and Nephew (MOD Nuclear Scientist) are also considered Nupties by this lot?. Probably I suppose since they dont subscribe to right-on liberal thinking.
