No comment since Christmas Day.
Am I to take it you Brexiteers have now succumbed to our arguments, and have changed your minds?  I do hope so, as it’s looking like a No Deal scenario is on the cards.

Nope. We're just enjoying a bit of peace and quiet from you Remoaners.

Succumb to arguments such as this you mean.

I think you’ll find, Highlander, that the last two paragraphs of your quote cancel out the first paragraph.  Only 27% of the population voted for Brexit.
Hardly the will of the people.  A lot of the other 73% will have been on holiday in late June - as we were - and couldn’t be bothered to register for a postal vote.  I think that, like me and David Cameron, they expected a large majority for Remain, adding another reason not to vote, a decision they now bitterly regret.
Brexiteers know they’d be defeated in a second vote, to stop the madness.

I haven't got involved in any of this but I am a little concerned about this quote. Am I right in thinking that you "couldn't be bothered" to register for a postal vote when you have such strong views? I vote every single time I am offered a vote - I would never not vote.  However, I do feel strongly that people who didn't vote really shouldn't complain about the outcome of any election.

Now the constant whining makes sense !
