    I don't remember it from the leave campaign but it was a well known quote from near enough a full year after the referendum.

    Immigrants taking our jobs, foreigners in Brussels telling us what to do and we pay in more than we get back out was the reasons usually said by vote leavers and they wanted out as in out, no half measures.

    Yes quite, I use that one all the time ' no deal is better than a bad deal' because she now seems to think the exact opposite.

    What leave meant to most leave voters was more in line with *no deal* than Norway plus, Canada minus and Common Market 2.0 or any other version of part in, part out.

    Fair play to you. It must have been a full time job carrying out those 17,410,742 detailed face-to-face interviews to understand what every Leave voter had in mind when they put their cross on the ballot.

    Many commentators thought that with the leave vote winning the referendum that UKIP would disappear but with Brexit still up in the air the Newport West by-election seems to show UKIP alive and kicking, if we have Euro elections in May it will be interesting to see how well Brexit parties do.

    Still yet to give a benefit to leaving.

    Still yet to explain how a second vote is undemocratic.

    Still defending the oppressive regime in Azerbaijan.

    Cameron made it very clear what leave meant in his Chatham House speach.

    Re: Stay in the EU petition

    What he is saying there is that a Leave vote means that we will leave, no more than that. I voted in the Referendum believing that and I still think the Leave vote should be respected and we shouldn't have a second vote on the subject. However, what Cameron is not saying there is that a Leave vote means we definitely leave on WTO terms, which is the line being trotted out now by those who want us out with no deal. If there's a customs deal, a Norway type outcome, Common Market 2, Canada type or whatever, the result is the same, we will leave the EU, which is what the 17.4 million voted for.

    Are you suggesting that leave voters paid no attention to what the leave campaigns were proposing and promising?

    All he says is that there won't be another referendum, but that's not really his call after he left office. There's nothing about the options of how to leave, nothing about the issues that would transpire in the event of leaving. It sounds as if all that was a tactic before his negotiations with the EU so he could get what he wanted. That worked out well.

    Re: Stay in the EU petition

    How can anyone watch that Cameron video and think that means leave with no deal?

    At this point ignoring all the evidence that’s been posted and you say no deal was the intention all along you’re either stupid or lying. There is no other explanation.

    No deal will be terrible for this country. Anyone who wants it either doesn’t realise how bad it will be or doesn’t care that more of the country will be driven into poverty.

    Do people not see the effect austerity is having? Do they not mind if it gets worse?

    Boris Johnson: UK will 'still have access to single market’ despite Brexit - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a7104846.html

    The UK would still be able to trade freely within Europe even if it left the EU, Michael Gove has said. - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36074853

    David Davis view on leaving single market ‘not government policy’ - https://www.ft.com/content/54edbc7c-...a-de4532d5ea35

    The UK's trade with the European Union will be "at least as free" after Brexit as it is now, Liam Fox says. - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37504966

    The biggest “brexiteers” before the vote were saying this ffs.

    Leavers tend to do things like Piers Morgan, and melt away in the heat of a fact. Twats.
    You need to do a bit better research before posting crap like this. There are actually currently about 12000 EU regulations affecting UK law. You are just an attention seeker.

    A major Leave politician Daniel Hannan said that if we left the EU our position in the Single Market would not be threatened. What do Cameron and Hannan have in common? They are Tories. Tory politicians lie for a living.

    According to this, from 1996 to 2014 4,514 laws have been implemented with EU influence. 72 were voted down by British representatives but we had to have them anyway because of our EU membership. Looking down the list they all seem quite reasonable.

    He said he was conducting the final negotiation, and there would be no more negotiation after that. He couldn't have been any clearer, leave means leave without any further negotiation.

    So, in order to counter my argument, you quote twitter (god help us all) using figures that are five years out if date !! Very clever. My figures are taken from a bbc news online article from October 2018, so rather more reliable and up to date than yours if you ask me.

    BBC online news article from October 2018. In any event, if you read my post correctly (and the bbc article you quoted as well !!) you will note that I was referring to 12000 EU regulations, the vast majority of which apply to the UK without needing to be implemented in law. This is a much better indicator of how the EU meddles in and controls our affairs.

    Whereas Labour politicians are a bunch of rich, public school educated, communist and terrorist supporting hypocrites. Oh and I forgot, anti-semitic too.

    I’ve read quite a bit about Brexit and I think us leaving is a life and country changing idiotic decision. And I did love that twitter read, it was very witty and well thought out. Sorry to offend you👍
