​@@bonnie43uk The N.I. hard border was put in place because of the 'troubles' and the soft border replaced at the end of the troubles and nothing to do with the EU. First leave, then deal. Lichtenstein, Kosovo, Iceland, Norway, Russia all trade with the EU and have never been members. In 2017, UK exports to the EU were £274 billion (44% of all UK exports). UK imports from the EU were £341 billion (53% of all UK imports)).The EU 'needs' the UK a lot more than UK needs EU. These people are thick! Owen Jones is nothing more than an orator with attitude.

The referendum was a yes/no vote, an election is between multiple parties.

[@DerekWong967]

Because unlike elections, referendum results are inherently unclear as to how the winning position should be executed. There is in theory nothing wrong with a second referendum of how brexit should be done but they fear many people have changed their minds and so argue that "the people have already spoke."

[@Geffo555]

The referendum paper gave no specific definition of Brexit. The options were simply leave or remain. So unfortunately for people like yourself the government has interpreted Brexit their own way.

@@markmahabir6342 dont let that be your snap instant answer. That's like a knee jerk reaction these days. The country is falsely divided between a fictional left/right. The truth is, any sane, self thinking person agrees on most things. Insanity starts with things like groups which divide is all into stereotypes. Groups which serve no purpose today. Things like feminist marches, BLM and antifa are all groups funded by the same people evidently. These are the same bloodlines who push superstate movement, eu army, etc. Anne is by no means part of any of these things, which is why she would never be allowed a position of high authority again even if she wanted one. She is a self thinker with real opinions who wont be bullied into speaking in a politically correct manner, and yet still she always maintains a respectful etiquette.

@@anthonyglee1710 Don't do that, you know I'm not critiquing Oxford as a University. But attending Oxford is a good indicator of how privileged someone is and how out of touch they are with the public and real working people. You said that you "wonder if Owen Jones has ever had a real job" to discredit him as a person, as if anything he has to say is invalid because he's so privileged, but you ignore that he's sat next to bloody Anne Widdecombe, who is if anything so much more privileged and out of touch with the lives of regular people, has she ever had a "real job?" She's also just as much of a smug ego-maniac. Just feels like a kinda sneaky double standard to try and get people to instantly dismiss anything Owen Jones says without listening to him and it annoyed me, sorry maybe that's too cynical.

[@anthonyglee1710]

M C I’ve listened to Owen. Not critiquing Oxford? Then your next sentence is a “good indicator of how privileged someone is and how out of touch...”.

Here's what I'm not understanding. David, you say that Ann Widdecombe is talking sense. She talks about the border between Gibraltar and Spain as an example of how the Northern Ireland border could work. But the reply (that is cut short in the video) is that both Gibraltar and Spain are currently *IN THE EU*. If we leave with no deal, the situation becomes *nothing like* the current border between Gibraltar and Spain. If you regard that as making sense, then, well, feel free to explain. There's a reason people think Leavers are stupid.

[@djbcybertench]

Greg M “people think leavers are stupid”... resorting to insults aimed at 17.4 million voters is devisive and unhelpful. You may have family or friends that voted leave, or disagree with you in some other way, do you call them stupid ? I value our democracy and respect people having diverse views and opinions. Being free to express their views is an important part of that. Ok, you picked up on what I assume was a mistake by AW but that doesn’t make her stupid. There are 12 European nations (population >300 million) not in the EU with thousands of kilometres of borders... most of which are not “hard” e.g. Finland/Russia, Switzerland/France, Spain/Morocco etc. The population of Northern Ireland is less than 2 million and Ireland less than 5 million... managing their border could readily be modelled on one of the existing EU borders which are far more extensive and potentially complex. It seems evident that the nominated (not elected by citizens) EU officials are using the historically sensitive Irish issue as a spurious negotiation tactic.

I disagree that the Leave campaign demonised immigrants. It simply pointed to the reality of the existence of mass immigration and the effects of too much immigration on jobs, wages, housing and services. Insofar as they commented on the quality of immigrants, it was based on realistic estimations and analyses of accurate figures (e.g. labour skill levels, the danger of terrorist infiltration through migration from North Africa and the Middle East, etc.) which I suppose some will disagree with (wrongly, imo) but the intent was not to demonise and did not apply to the vast majority of (legal) immigrants. But even if it were true... The Remain campaign *definitely* did demonise Leave voters and their reasons for voting calling them racist and stupid. Which of these had a more distorting effect on the vote? It's at least equally bad of both. But I'd argue that the Remain camp's demonisation of Leave voters and arguments had a more distorting effect on the vote.

@@Geffo555 you are true. The paper clearly stated remain in the European Union or leave the European Union. May has came to Parliament with a proposal on how this withdrawal will be implemented when our departure is enacted. This is in no way a trade deal. It is a departure deal. Now Parliament has a say if we are to accept this deal. Now this leaves the UK with a few options. Accept the offer, reject offer and leave wto, reject offer and try to get a different deal. All options are fulfilling the referendum result. Now if one is voted down by Parliament that leaves us with two. If the European Union refuses to negotiate further (against article 50) that gives us one option. Remaining is not an option as we have a government that stood on a manifesto to cary out the 2016 vote. A second referendum is not an option as the only mandate to carry that out lay with the lib dems, they didn't do to well.
