A soft Brexit was not possible after the Lancaster House speech setting the UK's Red Lines. Now you know that, I'm sure you'll stop repeating it.

If only people hadn't voted for Brexit while lacking the courage to admit it, then sought to deflect and blame everyone and everything bar themselves for their choice.

Let's not forget the ERG (and their WhatsApp groups), the DUP and enabling Jeremy.

The 'charge' is that you are saying people have not respected or don't want to respect what is in fact not a legally-binding outcome nor one that had to be implemented from that position of a lack of knowledge. The government sending out a leaflet making a claim doesn't alter the fact that the government, being sovereign, doesn't have to act upon a referendum. They pulled themselves into a bind which was more about getting elected than delivering policy. As if the concept of 'democracy' (even when it is not carried out in the spirit of informed consent) overrides a just outcome for an electorate.

It's not much different to you being sold an insurance policy under conditions of false information and then later being told: 'you must honour the contract', when you know the contract was made in bad faith. To go along with that is not only destructive, it's idiotic.

Once upon a time in a far away land in a big castle lived a nasty man, he didn't like it when people said nasty things about him even if they were true so he went to his magician and asked him what magic potions he had. The magician thought long and hard, "well there is this one" he said, "no said the nasty man no one will know its me and besides its not nearly nasty enough". So the magician thought a bit and said "I can make you a special, very expensive about 150 million roubles and they will definitely know it's you and it's really, really nasty", "Perfect" said the nasty man and had one of his minions cough up the change. Then he sent a couple of other minions far far away to administer the potion and lo did the man die and it was horrible, and there was a big rumpus but nothing really changed, as you see he had lots of other well paid minions in the country who spent waggon loads of money on all kinds of nice things like houses and fine wines so it was soon forgotten about.

Then it happened again!, just in case anyone forgot. This time they used a cheaper potion but it was equally nasty and no one was in any doubt who it was but as usual lots of houses were bought, lots of fine wines purchased and drunk and everyone soon forgot all about it.
Encouraged by this the nasty man decided it might be a bit of fun to cause some mischief, so he looked in his piggy bank he named "Moscow Gold" and saw it was full, so he then set about buying hacking crews, troll farms and made sure anyone who could further his aim got well funded. This was easy in the "Narnia" since a blind eye was routinely turned with anything to do with money plus "Narnia" politicians were really, really cheap compared to American ones all he had to do was buy some fake insurance that he was never going to claim on, the mark kept the money and no one was any the wiser, not only that he discovered he had a another piggy bank called "Moscow Diamond" and that was overflowing because of the amount of diamonds they had mined, so just to make sure he had someone buy a diamond mine that had run out diamonds for nothing in a far away place and guess what?, suddenly as if by magic diamonds poured forth. Amazingly as if just to make life even easier, someone saw fit to appoint the court jester Foreign Secretary, a man who in the normal course of events wouldn't be trusted unsupervised with a burnt out match, he was invited to a party the court jester was under instructions not to bring any one "who might spoil a good time" and he did as he was told. Then came a really important vote, all the pieces were in place the "right people won" and no awkward questions were asked as a lot more houses were bought as well as a lot of fine wines. Some people even claimed that this didn't matter as it "couldn't be proved to have affected the results" and were looking forward to Lance Armstrong getting back his Tour de France titles, these people were usually 1). Useful idiots 2)Liars.

Not sure about that - a simple yes/no would have sufficed. Are we now to assume that you, like Arron, have a soft spot for Russia? It is a thing with Brexiteers.

You can assume whatever it pleases you to assume. You do anyway.
 
A benefit of Brexit has been discovered by my favourite newspaper. Aparantly we are ‘in talks about closing in on the possibility’ or as the Bahraini ambassador described it,

“Bahrain has drawn up a white paper with its thoughts and expectations on what might be included in a free trade agreement (FTA), but other states have been less progressive, said Al Khalifa.
(Bloomberg)

The Express gushed-
“Now THAT's why we left! Brexit Britain eyes another bumper trade coup – £2.6tn deal nears
BRITAIN is closing in on another Brexit win after the International Trade Secretary confirmed the UK is in talks over the possibility of a trade deal with the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC), an economic union of Arab nations valued at more than £2.6trillion”.


Trade with the Gulf States is currently worth 7% of what we had with the EU. Apparently they’re going to buy food from us. The pork chop and bacon opportunities must be humongous- if we can get enough immigrants in to gas the pigs that is.

She recently said that a trade deal with the US is not the be all and end all, so Bahrain it is.

Not the first time you've tried to play this little insinuation game. It's sly.
How old are you?
Whatever it is, maybe time to start acting it.
