I think that Ian Heslops comments on Question Time about "Getting over it and moving on" were quite valid.

Paul/Blackie, I am accepting the outcome. However, I am questioning the actions of the leading lights of the Brexit campaign during the referendum, who have now decided to jump ship and leave someone else to carry out the task of triggering article 50 and conducting future negotiations with the EU to secure the best deal. The truth is, we are still none the wiser as to what our future relationship is with the EU. Just because the country voted out doesn't mean no one no longer has the right to question our political leaders, or that the 48% who voted remain no longer have a voice. I wish those on the leave side would stop talking as if the 48% don't matter in these negotiations.What I cant believe is that some peoples toys are still well out of the pram some three weeks after a fair democratic vote and its not looking likely they will be brought back in anytime time soon!! The majority of the people of this country decided to leave the EU, like it or not that is a fact. Get over it and move on!
Yes, I like that quote as well, Alan I agree also that May is the better of the two candidates and also supported the remain campaign (albeit reluctantly), so I hold out hope that she will secure a deal with the EU which satisfies the country as a whole. Leadsom certainly would have been a throw-back to the 1980's with her right-wing, socially conservative views which include opposing gay marriage, supporting fox-hunting and having anti-abortion views. Yes, the more right-leaning Conservative Party membership would have loved her, but then they would have been at odds with both the parliamentary party and the wider electorate.I thought my post this morning was more worthy of you quoting than your dear leader over the border ...
Another Leaver abandoning us to the mess they've created - anyone got the courage of their convictions?
They've also abandoned us to that renowned social reformer Theresa May, though even I haLaf-cheered when Angela Lansbury decided the world wasn't quite ready for her brand of 'mummy-knows-best' right-wing politics. The Tory party membership seemed daft enough to have wanted her, if the folk interviewed on the radio today are anything to go by - including one from not far from here who introduced herself as "I'm M. Underwood". Whoever names themselves with their initials, except on the Wimbledon winners' board???
There are numerous reasons for town centres being ghost towns and shops closing other than our membership of the EU which actually benefits a lot of poorer towns and cities through the funding it provides. We'll just have to see if things improve or not.What mess is that. I'm still getting up, going to work and paying the same for my food, gas electric etc.
I passed another closed shop today, I'm sure that every small business going bust from now on will be blamed on leaving the eu, despite the fact that Northwich town centre is virtually a ghost town in places, all happening under the wonderful prosperous eu!.
Perhaps if those who want to stay had been better at their job when that had the chance so many wouldn't have voted to leave!!
The funding that we give to the EU in the first place, some of which is then returned to the UK at the EU's discretion do you mean?There are numerous reasons for town centres being ghost towns and shops closing other than our membership of the EU which actually benefits a lot of poorer towns and cities through the funding it provides. We'll just have to see if things improve or not.
We all know that. No one is disputing the outcome, well I'm not anyway. However, just because a majority have voted out, doesn't mean the 48% who voted Remain should put up and shut up as that wouldn't be democratic would it? As has already been mentioned, the opposition party wouldn't bow down and accept everything just because they haven't got into government.I would say that a 52% vote is a very clear statement that the majority of the people of this country that voted did not want to continue being part of the EU. That vote defines democracy to me.
I'm not expecting the 48% to put up and shut up, after all we want our democracy back!!, what I am more annoyed about is the negative reaction without any proof that we will be worse off out of the eu and the ridiculous exaggeration of anything that can be used against the leave decision!We all know that. No one is disputing the outcome, well I'm not anyway. However, just because a majority have voted out, doesn't mean the 48% who voted Remain should put up and shut up as that wouldn't be democratic would it?
