Has anyone asked that laughable pipsqueak Tim Farron when he and the Lib Dems are holding the rerun of the Richmond Park by-election? After all the people are now regretting their decision, it was hardly an overwhelming victory with only something like 4% (not a big enough majority to matter apparently) and the people didn't know what they were voting for anyway. What evidence do I have to support this suggestion? Nothing, they regret it because I said so..............
What? Are only remainers allowed to do that?

Well your response was decidedly rude, and you appear to have honed in on my comment that the Leave side peddled lies, where I clearly state both sides were as bad as each other.

For the record, I voted Leave, for no single reason, and certainly not cos I'm some UKIP fascist.

But you carry on being aggressive to anyone who contends with you, see how you get on.

No you got it wrong I stated even if anyone voted OUT by say a 70 30 vote the Remain camp would still be causing the same problems. I agree with you both sides peddled lies I know you are not UKIP fachist neither am I!
I never in my post did I indicated that it's a misunderstanding I have given you many likes on this thread I honestly meant no intention to upset you I was trying to back you up?

With regard to the EU, in case you are too young to know, we were not offered a political union in the vote to join or otherwise in the 1970s. It was the 'Common Market'. We were joining to make trade easier between ourselves and other countries in the Common Market. Over the decades it evolved into something different...

He's over there and the Lib Dems have just been fined and the Lib Dems reported to the police for breaking election rules in the last general election!

It does matter. It matters because the coralling of opinion and how the process is managed is in the hands of people with motives other than the carrying out of a democratic process.

Ok but regardless of the Tories motives in calling the referendum it was still vital IMO that people were given a say in this important constitutional matter that we have not been allowed to vote on before

No mate, the country was still rebuilding from the effects of WW2 and the disbanding of the British Empire. It was dire tbh, but we had control of our own country and could change direction by voting in a General Election.....

Most economists consider the period from the late 1950's (Macmillan's "we've never had it so good") through to the early 1970's as a period of post war boom and economic stability culminating in rising income levels, disposable incomes for the working class and pretty much full employment.

Yes it was a struggle , but it was in that period where proper apprenticeships were on offer, mortgaes for the worker were obtainable, and purchase tax on luxury good were from 3-7 percent depending what luxury goods you purchased whe we joined the EU food prices rocketed vat was introduced at a higher rate we had butter mountains grain mountains etc etc our farmers and fishing industries then got later on the backlash of it changing to the EU!
When we joined it was a common agricultural trade policy!
