Personally I voted to remain. But when the referendum came about I’m willing to admit I didn’t really know what the implications of being in the EU even meant and which way I “should” be voting. I read all the official pamphlets for both sides of the argument and did a lot of reading and I’ll be honest I was torn but eventually decided to remain as I felt it was always better for the UK to have a say in what goes on. However, my dad voted to leave because he felt that the UK contributed more to the EU than it got out of it and that an unelected body trying to make decisions for more than 20 countries was never going to be in our best interests.

I think both of us had different reasons but were equally fair and valid. There were good reasons to stay and good reasons to leave it’s just whatever you leaned towards. The narrative that people who did vote leave are stupid and didn’t know what they were voting for really does anger me it’s so patronising. And clearly they haven’t “changed their minds” as the media seemed to push at the time otherwise Boris wouldn’t have had a landslide at the last election.

If you're as old as I am this will be our GARY point of reference and not Gary from snow patrol.

No decision you ever make concerning voting is conditional on you knowing a set amount of information. You are entitled to know 0 about what you are voting for and still vote.

I think if someone kills someone driving drunk they should be charged with murder and never let out of prison.

What if they were like 18?
What if they learn the error of their ways.
People change. No one gets behind the wheel drunk thinking I don't care if I kill myself or someone else. They do it because they are reckless or think it will be ok.

Drink drivers can learn and change. Locking someone away for life is surely for people that will always pose a risk to society and so can't be let out. Why destroy two lives because someone made a stupid mistake?

Im not saying there should be no punishment, but I don't think I would even give a prison centance for drink driving, let alone a life one. What's the point.

They're just trying to be inclusive but banks aren't your friends. They make money using your money and hope you will be a minimum payment only person.

Alcohol legally and morally impairs a person's ability to think and act rationally, so even if you kill someone, at most it is manslaughter. Which I agree should carry a heavier sentence and certainly a long-term, if not lifetime ban, but to be categorised the same as a pre-meditated murderer of two or more (which is the only type that carries a whole life order) is a bit barbaric. We absolutely need tougher sentencing (and this is where being in the EU made us even weaker), but proportionately to intent. Sentencing in this country is a joke, only Oz beats us on ridiculousness!

The irony of Hong Kong and Shanghai's stance on same sex relationships is rather amusing more to the point!

I voted out and never wanted to be it , in the first place, we were not given the choice though, yes there was a referendum, but the propaganda damage had already been done.

Remember it was just to be about trade nothing else and look at it now? what scared me was the EU Army and they wanted an EU police force. TTP ( Trans-pacific partnership) was another thing (That's why Obama made his "back on the line speech")

I remember the day after the referendum and the papers saying google was overloaded with Brexiters googling what is the EU as we were so dumb we didn't even know what we voted for

That was me, day in day out showing people ( remainers) that what they thought the EU had done for people was, in fact, the UN


I still believe those in real power were blackmailing certain people and that is why we were in it to be able to bring in the new world, order one government, one army one police force.
CT yes but that is also a unpopular opoioion but not as unpopular as it once was

I've seen a few people say this - which part of the EU did he take issue with? Solely the European commission? There are regular elections to the European Parliament.

Regardless - I can't believe this thread has descended into bloody Brexit discussion of all things haha.

Yeah it's like discussing pedalo's. It takes on a life of its own.

Note to mods: Not trying to moderate but if anyone wants to discuss Brexit per se, shall we open a specific thread?
