When I say comfortable, I think it would get 55-60% of the vote. It might creep into a supermajority region, but only just. This is also in the highly unlikely hypothetical situation where we are re-joining under the same situation as before. If we had to, for instance, adopt the Euro to re-join then I expect it is 50/50 which side would win.
I do think that if there was a vote again the day after the first one it could easily have been 52-48% the other way though. Those that voted for it as just a punch in the nose of the austerity government and didn't actually want to leave would have swung it the other way.

I'd say if you cut down on the immigration numbers it would have made quite a lot of people happy than a full on Brexit. Which you know, the UK government could have chosen to do as an EU member and was in fact one of the few members that made immigration wide and open. They just chose not to limit it

What is the right way to do Brexit? You ask that question and you'll get hundreds of different responses that probably all contradict each other. Brexit is and always has been bullshit. And therein lies the issue, but they'll all agree that they don't need the EU and Brexit would work if it wasn't for (insert political boogeyman). |

At the time the scare was on Romanians coming over here in their thousands. People clamouring for us to get out before Turkey was inducted as an EU member and freedom of movement allowing hundreds of thousands to come over here taking jobs and the like.

I still chuckle when I see that interview from the day of the result where a middle aged white bloke from Barnsley said he voted to Leave to stop Muslims coming into the country.
And when I say "chuckle" I mean "seethe with rage".

I worked in Barnsley at the time. South Yorkshire is a bitter, bitter county.

its really sad that the UK was wrecked and people's ability to work in Europe was ruined by thick racist gammon gimps like Barnsley man. No doubt he will go to his death bed claiming he was right. Sadly this is too similar to MAGA cunts in the USA

I am more annoyed with the rich cunts who don't want to share the wealth. The Barnsley man is stupid and should check his facts, but the likes of Farage, Boris, Dyson are much worse. Knowing it will make Britain worse off and still spouting the lies they did is proper cunts trick.

I don’t blame the racist old cunt for not checking the facts, that’s all on the likes of Farage and Johnson. The public should be able to trust their elected officials and the press should challenge them when they lie.
He is an old racist though so fuck him. I hope all the immigrants set up camp in his front lawn.

Sadly this is too similar to MAGA cunts in the USA It has properly fucked up my career because I just can't get a visa to work in the EU because it's essentially too much work for the employer to get you one. Basically my other options are South East Asia or the Middle East. |

I've lived in Barnsley my whole life. I would gladly chin that gammon fucker if ever I saw him in the street.
I was embarrassed to come from here when I saw that video on the news once. Well, it's one of many reasons but it certainly ranks high up there.

All that money spent on border outposts that currently sit unused, but will need to have more money spent to enable them to work with the latest checks.

So essentially, we have taken back control by keeping all the EU laws, having no say in EU law now and having spent a shitload of money to stay the same?

Yes. But we apparently have sovreignty, whatever the fuck that is and have therefore taken back control.

Brexit was far to big a decision to give to the general public, when 90% of people didn't understand the basic implications and even then got their facts from lying newspapers and politicans.
The result being you have more than a few idiots, who have been conditioned by the Sun & Daily Mail for decades that muslims and romanians were the devil and would simply vanish, that bexit would somehow take us all back to the time to a rose tinted period that never existed where bobbies roamed the streets, you could leave your front door open without worry of being robbed, all while Abdul in the local corner shop would dissappear in a puff of smoke and be replaced with Ronnie Barker.
If the average idiot could even articulate what they voted for, depressingly I wouldn't put it being a million miles from the truth.

Holding the referendum was one thing; IMMEDIATELY acting on it, and proclaiming the decision was sacred was another; then opting for the worst (HARD BREXIT 4 LYF) possible interpretation of it yet another.
