So is English an official language of the EU now? Honest question or is it still in because of the Irish? I (mis)read that they officially spoke Gaelic because English was already covered. I presume it's still a language for EU documents, etc. or is it?

We should send them a bill for its usage. I see they have just asked the U.K. for another £1Bn contribution because our economy is doing so well......

Grow a pair. We are a big economy, we are a respected nation with links across the world and commonwealth. Norway is small, yet seems quite happy. What exactly is it you are frightened of......

Is this the same Norway that’s part of the EEA, has full access to the Single Market and is part of Schengen? That Norway?

I never said you were racist to be fair. So you can cut the victim lines. The main crux of my argument is that the vote was driven by xenophobic, archaic and outright racist rhetoric and discourse. It’s unarguable. You may have perfectly sound reasons for wanting to leave, but a byproduct is you’ve legitimised a poisonous movement.
I have this argument with plenty mates of mine that voted leave.
Anyways, gonna try and watch us get pumped of Watford.

I'm not a victim, just don't like the inference.

As has been stated before, I made my mind up on which way to vote based on what I have seen over the years. You can think what you want, I really don't care.

You say this: "...you’ve legitimised a poisonous movement..." Give me the facts (note FACTS) the UK removing itself from the EU is a poisonous movement. I will be most interested to see what you can come up with. But I'm not holding my breath.

And yes, my focus for the best part of the next two hours will be hoping and praying we can help bury that snake of a club back to the Championship.

What about the agendas of the ones who voted remain? People voted remain for negative reasons as well yet noone talks about that. As with the campaign's before the referendum, there is two sides to every discussion. Not everyone who voted remain is innocent in their motives.

As for those last night celebrating? That's the leave voters for sure. The ones who have kept their mouth shut for 3 years whilst the remain voters who couldn't accept the result moaned and whined and tried everything they could possibly do to get their own way.

The leave voters were silent because they didn't need to raise their voices , they won. Last night was a celebration for them , not just for getting what they voted for but for beating the minority voice who had called them for everything for 3 years.

All while the people who engineered the whole scenario were grinning on TV. When a country turns on each other rather than the root cause of the problem then there is something fundamentally wrong with the mindset

What agendas are you talking about? Sounds like ridiculous whataboutery to me.

As for Leavers keeping their mouths shut for 3 years, just lol

Yes, the same Norway that has negotiated a deal with the EU, but remains outside of it. The U.K. will negotiate a deal and then the likes of Norway will probably ask for similar.....

Norway is part of the EEA, pays for access to the SM, and therefore adheres to the 4 pillars.

Can we be like Norway? No, we can’t, as Brexitremists ruled out being in the EEA and the removal of FoM was seemingly a prerequisite of our leaving, as that’s what ultimately drove it.

So yeah Norway, a cracking example of what our future relationship could be like.......

There is no have your cake and eat it option. Norway are doing great because they are part of the EEA, but aren't fussed in making decisions on the direction of the EU. For us to have that would be stupid as it is giving away control compared to what we had. Mind you a load of people would probably see this as a success as we would be 'out' apparently.

Why did you vote to ruin the young people of Britain’s future? I bet you voted Tory too.
You’re no joke, you’re a delusional Tory bigot.

Listen mate, I may disagree with @Old Blue 2 on Brexit issues, but I can assure you that he is not a "delusional Tory bigot" Seems to me that there are assumptions made by both remain and leave voters...been guilty of it myself in the past if I'm honest......
