But says he is remain......he's not is he? He's ruled out a peoples vote and a second referendum in the short term.
Not really, just too big a picture for you perhaps?Meaningless comment
You are unhappy. So you go down the route of saying that it was an advisory referendum and make out that we shouldn't leave because of it.Whether I'm happy with it or not is irrelevant. It was an advisory referendum, the time for complaining about that was when the referendum terms were being agreed.
However you could definitely make an argument for a second referendum had remain won, especially if close. You could argue that some were voting for the status quo while some were voting for remain and reform, although there was very little mention of that option during the campaign. Think that would be a harder argument as remain and reform should be something every country in the EU should be doing - striving to make the EU and the way it works better.
I highly doubt had remain gained 52% of the vote those leading the leave campaign would have fallen silent.

OK to be clear, if the UK govt got a declaration of article 50 through parliament without any referendum (advisory or binding), which would be entirely within the law and EU treaties, would you be cool with that?
So there was no need for a referendum, despite all the changes to the EU since we voted to Remain in 1975....but when a vote was offered and it went the other way, now it's apparently requires to have another one....funny that.
Look, I was Remain too but I just think it's best accepted and we shiush make the best of a bad situation.
The people's vote has no credibility with the current people 'leading' the call for it.

Corbyn is a politician.
Labour has a go at the Tories. The Tories have a go at Labour. He wants to have a go at the Tory leader. But if he agrees with us leaving he can't have that much of a go. So he then has to make out that he wants to remain and that leaving isn't the right thing to do.
You can always tell when a politician is lying. Their lips move.
There was no actual need. Maybe if there was a „Maastricht“ type event, you could argue for a referendum. I wouldn’t as we have a Parliament for such decisions. But there was no event. We now do have an event which was caused by a referendum. The only way out of this disaster is to ask the people who voted for it, to confirm that the deal is what they envisaged as they voted, or whether they would rather remain than accept the deal or the no deal that is now on the table. If they agree with you, then fair enough, put the foot on the accelerator and drive into the brick wall.
I haven't said I'm unhappy. You seem to have assumed what I voted for incorrectly.You are unhappy. So you go down the route of saying that it was an advisory referendum and make out that we shouldn't leave because of it.
Give me one good reason why there should have been another referendum if remain had won. Or are you trying to copy Farage :nailbiting:
Which generation do you blame the most for this though?Fair enough the point that cavemen starting fires is comparable to billions using fossil fuels each day is way over my head.
Which is what I have been saying. Just as bad as having May who wants to stay in the EU taking us out.I'd disagree that he is openly remain, he didn't have much choice if he was to stay leader of Labour. It seems he abandoned his lifelong principles to make sure he stayed in power.
Can you show me where it was advisory and wasn't meant to take us out of the EU?I haven't said I'm unhappy. You seem to have assumed what I voted for incorrectly.
It was an advisory referendum, that is a simple fact. It could have been a legally binding referendum, as the one several years back regarding our voting system was, but that was not what was agreed to therefore it was always advisory.
Advisory means just that, it is not binding and is to be used by parliament as an indicator of the desire of the electorate. Now clearly if there was a landslide one way or the other that would be the end of that. Clearly there wasn't therefore there is an argument to be made, the same argument can be made from both sides, that there should be a second vote at some point.
Had remain won you could easily make an argument that the leave campaign was centred around a particular type of brexit (hard, soft, whatever you like) and that another type would result in a different result. It was a big flaw in the campaign, from all sides, that their positions weren't clearly defined.

No actual need and yet when you give people the opportunity to vote, they vote to leave.
Never mind all this guff about how Europe wasn't a priority for most people; the Euroref got abfat far higher turnout than any election in decades .
What I particularly hate is the idea the Leave Lies codded a whole bunch of gullible poor thick bumpkins into voting against their own interests or those of their children. Patronising guff
Yeah I'm not comfortable with politicians ignoring their beliefs over something so important. If I was representing a leave constituency, I'd like to think I'd resign as I couldn't back it.

I can't work him out other than him being a politicianHe was interviewed yesterday.
He said there would be no second referendum and no peoples vote in the near future.
He also said if there was a second referendum he didn't know how he'd vote but I think we can guess and it wouldn't be remain.
Farage said as muchWhether I'm happy with it or not is irrelevant. It was an advisory referendum, the time for complaining about that was when the referendum terms were being agreed.

Why that’s the truthNo actual need and yet when you give people the opportunity to vote, they vote to leave.

What were the specific lies Grendel?Remain lies were far more targeted and appeared in every household

Let’s start with there would be an emergency budget as soon as the referendum result was announced
This is a few for starters. Would you like some more?
Leave Lies? Remainers Need To Look In The Mirror
Are you one of those who thinks politicians from only one side lied to us?

ID cards do nothing to limit immigration from the EU. All they do is allow you to track the numbers better (at cost to the UK government / taxpayer). You talk about leave disinformation (and yes there is some of it) but the story you've posted is remain disinformation.Leave lies deliberately ignored alternatives to Brexit to e.g. control free movement abuse. Introduce ID cards to control immigration instead of leaving the EU, report says
It was sent to every household in the UK, presumably using the electoral roll. Some academic studies show that it did have some impact.Not true. The advisory leaflet was not micro targeted and was generally counted as unconvincing.
