That is the same as in any election. If you are eligible to vote and choose not to, don't complain about the result.

Its still a lie
There is a good argument for NOT voting as it legitimises all sorts of nonsense

[MrGongGong]

The result stands. We voted to leave the EU.

"we" didn't
if YOU want to, the be my guest but don't expect everyone else to go along with your stupidity


Shut the door on the way out, there's a good chap

For me Brexit is most fascinating and dramatic episode in political history in my lifetime. It's hard to predict how it will end.

You won’t love to see how it ends. None of us will.

When Mr Johnson said today that he didn't agree with the judgement from the Supreme Court, I couldn't help thinking of the Shawshank Redemption when Andy says: Everyone is innocent in here, don't you know that?

Johnson's facial expressions kept reminding me of....someone these last few weeks - then I remembered....
john hurt as caligula

...a hint of debauchery, the shaky sense of power, the suspicion....guilt unconvincingly hidden......

Why are the BBC obsessed by the need to broadcast from Westminster? Hugh on News at 10 looks absolutely pathetic!

... and weird illusion of denial of reality - his being with Trump at the time adding to the detachment -seems to be a Ripping Yarns script.

J H was slim and pretty. Johnson is fat and plug-ugly.

I should have known of this earlier but how sad to read that Borisbus company Wrightbus is heading off the road. Not exclusively down to Brexit but at least partly attributable to it. You'd think that the (un)DUP would have helped the company out with some of the back-hander it got from the May government, but no.

Thomas Cook reportedly needed £200m, doesn't seem very much in the great scheme of things if it could have saved 9,000 jobs. Odd that the German govt and the State of Hesse found 380million euros to save Condor, TC's German subsidiary.
I really don't understand why Labour haven't seized on this, or have I missed it in the Supreme Court hubbub.

Both John McDonnell and Rebecca Long-Bailey had some strong things to say about the issue and what they would have done instead, but this doesn't seem to have been widely reported.

Yes ! John Hurt's expression as he realised the citizenry / the mob, had turned against him...
