    The idea of allowing the people to decide the finite terms of agreement is imbecilic even by your extremely high standards.

    In summary you were stupid enough to allow this vote/referendum to go to the people but it has and now you have to roll with the decision. Those who do not like it and who are questioning it are simply the adult equivalent of a toddler having a tantrum because they did not get their way.
    I do wonder whether in some ways it would have been better if we'd triggered Article 50 straight away. The intervening six months have provided Remain voters with the comfort blanket of denial that it either wouldn't happen, would be delayed indefinitely or would be so watered down as to be virtually meaningless. The reality is only sinking in now and the Remain voters are having a shït fit.

    It's a shame the Monster Raving Loony Party aren't around for that sort of protest vote, really. Only I know that you'd never really be able to look at yourself in the mirror again if you knew you'd voted for a Green or - worse - that snivelling cünt Farron,

    Thing is, I remember travelling around Europe before freedom of movement for persons was magically enshrined as a core principle of the EU. It was fine.

    Yes, we all know about this. Jolyon Maugham is an appalling **** desperate to do anything to stop Brexit. The idea that we would ever reverse Article 50 because the ECJ says so is laughable.

    Probably why Billy's comment wasn't really accurate to be fair

    How does one pronounce his name?

    Jolly-on.
    Jo-Lion.

    Or the more pithy and direct "oi ****".

    A coward, possibly. A little limp, definitely. But he was a gentleman, p.

    Look at what we've been left with

    He was just trying to do whatever it took to try and frighten the public into compliance. It was clear to everyone that he couldn't remain as PM if he lost the vote since he wouldn't have had the confidence of his party or the country to do so. Given that, there's no way he could have triggered A50 and then left, since that would have been monstrous. Nothing to do with cowardice, just a gamble that he lost.
