It may be the worst decision of modern times, but it's the result of a democratic process.
I get that there are a large number who disagree with the decision, but that's the danger of choice, sometimes you don't get the outcome you want.

So, you think that the majority are now getting the outcome that they wanted? The outcome they voted for?
We are lumbering on over the cliff so are 52% of lemmings still happy to go over??

What is wrong with protecting our own interests? Time you looked at how lucky you are to live in the UK.
Closest friends ? You're having a laugh. The French couldn't give a monkeys about us!

Why don't you actually listen to and address the point he makes instead of just shouting "Ya-Boo! Nobody likes you!"? This Trumpian tactic of always attacking and rubbishing the speaker instead of engaging with the evidence and the argument presented is the most depressing and worrying development of the modern age.
Heseltine? What does he know? Well for the record - 27 years in parliament, former deputy Prime Minister and former secretary of state for...... Trade & Industry, Defence, the Environment, Transport, & minister of state for Aerospace & shipping. By any measure one of the major figures in late 20th century British politics. But what does he know?
How dare he pass comment on this bloody shower leading us over the cliff edge like lemmings? How dare every one of the 5 living former Prime ministers (Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron & May) all protest at the self-defeating stupidity of us threatening to break international law in a desperate attempt to get us out of the Brexit hole this bunch of chancers have dug for us? What do they know eh?

Dare I respectfully suggest Oldage that your opinion of the french is based on either ignorance or blind prejudice, and is probably the result of a lack of lived experience with our french neighbours. I speak french fluently, and have many good friends there. They are genuinely disappointed at our decision, and are as perplexed about it as many Brits are. They would be delighted if we changed our mind, accept that it won’t happen, and in none of the many conversations i’ve had over there during the last four years has there been the slightest indication that they don’t give a monkeys.
If you’ve had a different experience I would be interested to hear it, but as you don’t do debate I won’t hold my breath for a response.

You have your view and I have mine. You will not change your view nor will I change mine . I am delighted we have left the EU.

Even now, with your Trumpian rhetoric, you still imagine that all these posts represent nothing more than a bunch of bad losers throwing hissy fits. Your head must be a very dark and scary place to live, to see the world in such playground terms after presumably many years' experience of life. I don't envy you.
