Absolute f*cking *******s, you thick muppet. The ballot that I checked and that everyone else checked said that you wanted to Leave, and nothing else. If you voted for it, then you voted for whatever you get. If reality has shown that leaving is very difficult (how thick would you have to be to not have known that) and there is a strong possibility that we get no deal (how thick would have to be to not have known that was a potential outcome) then too f*cking bad. If you don't like those options, then you shouldn't have voted to Leave.

I yelled at the radio good n proper when she brought that nonsense up.
Of course. It's predicated on the absurd, patronising notion that we 'did not know what we were voting for'. This despite the fact that the Remain camp (including the sitting government) spent the entire campaign and a lot of taxpayers' money warning us of those potential consequences.
People still voted Leave because they saw those risks as preferable to continued membership of the EU. They voted Leave in spite of the possible negative consequences, not in ignorance of them.
