Go look in the mirror - with all the childish comments and name calling that the remainers made because you didn't get your way and can't accept that you didn't win the vote. Clearly your case for remaining was not made as the public decidied otherwise. .

Completely irrelevant as only those that vote get to have a say so if you didn't bother to vote you can't complain.....

My argument is that the rest didn’t bother or even care. Seems like some of those 37% didn’t understand WTH they even voted on.

Oh.
Especially for Riccardo, who doesn't believe anything I type:
Fantastic you are finally starting to do some home work more fact and less red buses
So UK can simply copy that trade deal done with Japan as all trade deal are the same right? That should take even less thenIt takes all sorts (to make a world).

It seems that the BBC isn’t “lying” then, but instead taking a leaf out of the book of weasel words by Dominic Cummings. He of the red bus slogan fame. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Bloody BBCremoaners
Has the UK already left the EU? Still even if UK it is around 28 so closer to a quarter than a third.
This is fake news. Great that you are there highlighting all this misinformation
Still do not worry as Brexiters did not consider financial aspects so probably they would not even read those things
What about the 600 million people? Is it really 600 or maybe less?
