I beg your pardon! This referendum was a manifesto pledge at the last general election. Cameron pledged to negotiate a new EU deal and put that to the people to decide. He did and we have. I do not recall anyone ever saying in the run up to the vote that it was just an advisory exercise, it's...

The Oxford dictionary definition of a referendum is as follows: A general vote by the electorate on a single political question which has been referred to them for a direct decision. Having to witness you wriggling, squirming and focussing on all the negative aspects would be funny were it not...

If you insist, then I'm happy with that conclusion.

In the same way that prices immediately fall in reaction to a strengthening pound. Oh, hang on a minute, they don't do they. As I say, opportunistic profiteering.

Opportunistic profiteering.

It was more than an opinion pole. I suppose that the phrase "opinion pole" was used as an instrument intended to mitigate the consequences of last Thursday's referendum decision. Done in order to satisfy the personal undemocratic and possible cheating nature of some remain supporters. A...

That's ok. They simply won't sell any and will need to reduce the price again.

Err...you! "little island of self-evidently inbred intellectually impaired" Unacceptable.

The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. The words in the above paragraph define the term racism. Can you spot any similarities between...

You really are a sad little old man. I look at people like you and hope that I don't end up like that.

oldgroaner, nothing in the world is ever free, there is always a price to pay. I think people who voted out knew that there would be a cost, whether that be political turmoil, strained relationships with our European friends, the pound losing value, stock market volatility or many other factors...

I don't know either. Would be interested to know the definitive answer. I'm definitely sensing that a proportion of Out voters are getting the jitters. It's almost like they voted for it, but didn't really want it or think it would happen. I've not really heard any reassurances from the Out...

I'm seriously wondering if the EU exit will happen. 4 days ago it would have been totally unthinkable to suppose that MPs would defy the referendum outcome. Even the most radical feeling a sense of inhibition preventing them from mentioning it. Now it is being spoken about, almost with a sense...

18 - 24 yr olds 36% turnout. 25 - 30 yr olds 58% turnout. It then jumps into the high 70% and even low 80% for the other older age groups. Not a high participation at all from under 30s. Shocking.

Have you seen the voter turnout figures for young people? It's shocking and it's disgraceful. Total lack of effort and will. I know it's currently in vogue to blame others for anything that goes wrong. Everything is always someone else's fault and no one needs to take on responsibility for...

Let us consider this for a moment: The, "experts" warned us of financial armageddon if we left the EU. The same, "experts" predicted that IN would win the referendum and effectively bet the family silver on that outcome with sufficient confidence not to have any real Plan B. Whilst still punch...

Only about 14.5 million more signatures needed then to overtake the out vote. Good luck with that.

I think I can see what you are getting at here. David Cameron only promised the referendum in order to stem the flow of voters to UKIP, fearing that it would dilute the Conservative vote sufficiently to allow Labour / SNP in. For him, this has back-fired in a most spectacular fashion. Maybe the...

That thought has crossed my mind, particularly the fact that collectively the majority of MPs opinion on BREXIT is not aligned with that of the public. In parliament, we have an organisation carrying out the task of withdrawing from the EU under duress. This isn't a good basis for getting...

If this wasn't so pathetic it would be laughable. What part of being out voted are people have difficulty with? That's how it works, we ask each person and go with the majority. I hope the government print the petition and use it as lavatory paper, because that is all that it is fit for.
