This is it. It needs someone, ANYONE to just stand up and say this has to stop.

Starting to wonder what it would have been like if it had been triggered immediately, given that nothing has been achieved in the meantime, apart from the ability of people to push for harder brexit.

People are saying that, but it’s people with nothing to lose - the SNP (who know that every one of their constituencies voted remain) and the lib dems (who thought fuck it, the only way is up).

Labour can’t afford to oppose this, lose a decent amount of potential support forever and allow themselves to be portrayed as a party who would betray a national popular vote.

You know I really can’t see riots happening if brexit was stopped, small scale marches and protests from the far-right but no full scale riots. Look at how few people turn out to the leave marches.

Outside of the rabid far right and internet trolls I think there is a large portion of leave voters who don’t actually care that much.
The people who didn’t know what to do and shrugged in the ballot box and voted leave for the NHS/freedom/sovereignty/protest against the gov/shape of bananas etc they won’t care enough to riot.
Then there’s the middle England, Mail reading lots, they might huff about democracy to their golf buddies but to actually riot? Can’t see it.

Farage and the tabloids would try, desperately, to rouse national ire. Horrible things would be said. Unspeakable crimes would be committed. Deep rifts would deepen. UKIP would remain an influential political force.

But no… I think that the vast majority of people simply wouldn’t care.

One of the first posts actually sums up a lot of the responses I’ve seen to this, David Davis sexually harassed a serving MP and for some reason people seem to think it’s hilarious. This country man…

Actually think a lot less people would physically protest, though those that did would be the militant far-right kind rather than the funny sign holding ooh I hope I get on instagram kind.

Leave voters now: LOL we won, get over it, Project Fear!
Leave voters in a year or two: it’s short term pain for long term gain
Leave voters a few years after that: [silence] - because the old fuckers will be dead

But but, where are the queues of British workers waiting to fill these jobs that had been stolen by those cheeky EU scamps?

Had my ‘How your taxes are spent’ statement through on Saturday.

Can’t wait to have an extra 10 pence in my pocket every single day in a couple of years time.

do you reckon this would have swung the result if it happened last year?

I was reading this article yesterday. Not sure how accurate it is, but it seems worrying:

It seems like loads of national governments got exemptions for themselves and gave it proper oversight, but the UK just waved it through.

Good work, UK sovereignty…
