The question was “do you think it’s gone well” well it has for some and not others, what else would you want me to say.

Give an overall opinion maybe, rather than stating the fucking obvious 😂

Have a look, if you or Chief spaz can’t find any then surely you should agree with me that one of the main parties should be pushing for a referendum. I mean we had a flashy poll on here the other day saying something like 80% of the public now disagreed with Brexit (or something similar)

Yes because that’s what the people voted for. 

So that's why you support it still?

Yes Al I’m not a depressing teddy out of the pram kind of guy. The vote was won fair and square. If it was going horrendously I’d probably change my mind but the fact no party wants us to go back is telling me it’s not as bad as many depressing teddy out of the pram kind of guys are making it out to be.

So as a current supporter of Brexit, have you benefitted from the UK leaving as your earlier supposition posited?

Not sure you needed to call him a spaz.

Anyway, so you're answer is it's gone well for some and not gone well for some.

Brilliant 😊 

He was mellowing out from having called Farrelli a nonce

Me personally no, and I never believed I would get any personal gain. I also haven’t suffered because of Brexit.

Everyone including your good noncey self getting all of a do because I’m wondering why none of the main parties want to get us back in the EU. Bonkers hey

So then you would agree that there is a myriad of reasons why people support Brexit and not just because of personal benefit?

Of course, But now the majority, well according to yougov polls are against it, so as per my opening question. Why do none of the main parties want us back in the EU?

So if it's not of personal benefit, and so far there are few examples of significant benefit, would it not be logical to begin to question the value of it, rather than just accept the 'will of the people' as we do in every democracy every four or five years?

Imagine having a gym membership, it costs you £50 a month but you're not happy with it so leave

Then you realise the other gyms are a bit shit and you want to rejoin 

But you're told it would cost £500 as you'd previously left and the terms have changed

Because there are millions of flids like you who are too thick to understand reality.

Ok so what is the value of it? If there isn’t any (to you and me there may be nothing to others a lot) then whats the next step? Surely a referendum. 
 

How is the next party going to reverse all of these negative impacts that Brexit has supposedly brought to us without trying to get back in the EU?

Just to reiterate, do you think there is value in questioning the vote?

Or what if you had a chance to negotiate?

You could 

But as no one knows the outcome of those negotiations then no party is going to say lets rejoin

In the same way you could say I'll rejoin the gym and I'll renegotiate with the gym and say ok we'll knock it down to £495 

You'll look a bit of a cock when they say no thanks

I read it as valuing Brexit. So who do we leave it up to, those in power?

So how about a manifesto that’s states we will start negotiations with theEU in regards to probably rejoining in say 5 years.  The slightest possibility of rejoining should be a vote winner shouldn’t it?

Whats the reality then? You haven’t a clue really have you

It's a simple question really, if there are a myriad of reasons why people support Brexit beyond personal benefit as youve agreed, and other benefits have been in short supply, do you think it is reasonable that people question the decision made, as we do in every democracy regardless of the outcome of the referendum?

No

Imagine you had a gym membership that cost you £50.

Then you had the opportunity to explore a load more that weren't there before.

Some may be shit, others not so. Some may be cheaper, others not so.

Imagine if that gym membership also restricted you to not being able to use someone else's gym at the same time, if it was better or cheaper.

Or maybe even put restrictions on your ability to set your own up.

And just Imagine that your membership fee is significantly more than someone else's, even if you do get a bit back, and that other members get extra benefits that you don't get, unfairly making them fitter at your expense.

Just Imagine.
