Why did you also say you voted leave then?
It was a genuine mistake which I have already corrected.
Why do people keep spelling ‘border’ as ‘boarder’?
for me because English isn't my 1st language and when I think of the word I think of a wooden board then add er on the end and because spell check does not highlight it I don't notice - wont lie Ill almost certainly carry on making the same mistakeWhy do people keep spelling ‘border’ as ‘boarder’?
Piers Morgan does that all the time. He's constantly saying "I voted remain and I would again tomorrow, but we should leave because democracy etc."Same old same old.
Guy comes into thread, guy talks like a leave voter, guy says at the very "oh b t dubz I voted to remain".
Only this guy somehow accidentally wrote down that he voted to leave.
"I'm one of you, you can't berate my opinions!"

He blatantly voted leave.
Anyone think there will be serious unrest from hardcore leavers if Brexit gets canned?
It makes him look more balanced in the debate if he's a remainer backing no deal and brexiteer points of view.Why would he lie though? Its not like he likes to project a positive image of himself, rather his whole schtick is being the guy everyone loves to hate.
He's a Londoner too and in show business so its easy to see why he'd be a remainer..

I am a bit lost with this subject. Will they need a visa to go on holidays to Schengen countries? I don't think It's a good idea.
I mean,the rule Will be with EU or every country can establish conditions with UK?
Some I'm sure although not the far right threat and terror on the streets that leavers like to hint at every chance they get.
Nothing large scale although I wouldn’t discount the possibility of some lone wolf carrying out an attack. I think you would see a big drop in voting turn out in some areas.
It’s a sad indictment of the thread that people feel the need to qualify any statement that’s slightly against the grain with “I voted remain”
That says more about them than anyone else.It’s a sad indictment of the thread that people feel the need to qualify any statement that’s slightly against the grain with “I voted remain”
Sorry wasn’t having go at you as such, I know you’re not a native speaker. I keep seeing the same error when talking about the Irish border on various sources here, Twitter and Facebook.for me because English isn't my 1st language and when I think of the word I think of a wooden board then add er on the end and because spell check does not highlight it I don't notice - wont lie Ill almost certainly carry on making the same mistake

I wish piers Morgan and his twin halfwit Katie Hopkins would leave the planetIt makes him look more balanced in the debate if he's a remainer backing no deal and brexiteer points of view.
Agreed. The far right really are very limited in numbers and capacity to cause anything large scale. We already have the Prevent scheme which is taking on increasing referrals of people vulnerable to far right radicalism. Those referrals were up 36% last year but to put that in some perspective that's 1312 people in a population of 66 million. Despite what the online debate looks like, and the extreme views of those who shout the loudest, the vast majority of people in the UK are, whether they are leavers or remainers, really quite moderate in their views. What you will see is a deepening disenchantment with the democratic process on the part of many who voted to leave and it'll be important that, if Brexit is canned, any legitimate discontent is acknowledged and addressed. There are communities that need fixing.
I think it's often the case that most people will have certain views that are quite extreme, but which are balanced out at the same time. And those extreme views may be ones that reflect their thoughts, but which they aren't particularly passionate about. I know plenty of people who I've heard say fairly problematic stuff about immigrants etc but a lot of them say it casually and will also have plenty of immigrants they get along with. Although I would say you've got to be careful to avoid complacency - most far-right states probably aren't filled with people who're genuinely passionate about being on the far-right, but will instead have plenty of people who maybe have fascist sympathies and who therefore allow far-right people to get in the door even if they don't have majority support as such.

Same. They're so alike and I hate both of them.I wish piers Morgan and his twin halfwit Katie Hopkins would leave the planet

No it isn't, an indictment of people who don't have arguments to defend their opinions and pretend they're playing devil's advocate instead.
People can post what they want but they need to back it up. I welcome arguments from Leavers as to why Brexit is a good thing. After 2.5 years, I have still yet to hear one.
Brexit could be good thing if you are a manufacturer that intends to exports low to mid quality range goods, a deregulation of most markets will benefit you.

Brexit could be good thing if you are a manufacturer that intends to exports low to mid quality range goods, a deregulation of most markets will benefit you. It's also good if you want to turn the UK into a tax heaven. For normal people there are no benefits that are directly linked to the EU, most of the genuine issues that people currently have in the UK concerns local and national policies and adequate allocation/redistribution of resources and wealth.
To who exactly? There's no way we could compete with China/India in terms of production costs (energy, land and wages) or sourcing raw materials competitively. Then, in terms of logistics, the only trade partners we could have an advantage over China/India with is the EU. If we intend to export into the EU, we're going to have to abide by their regulations anyway.
To anyone. An example is pallets, France is one of the main producers everyone needs them and the UK could be a big competitor if they put the correct regulations. You have used the term "we", but bear in mind that I'm alluding to few companies and individuals not the UK as a whole which I forgot to add when I edited my post.

Damn, im going to lose bbc channels with no deal. Based on this fact uk needs to remain in the eu.
The important difference is political, namely that there are probably the votes for it to pass through parliament and wouldn't require another referendum to implement. Brexiters wouldn't be overly happy and remainers (me included) would complain that we might as well stay in and preserve the influence, but it still seems to me the path of least resistance.The only difference between Remain and Norway plus the Customs Union is that the UK have no say or votes in the EU parliament - perfect for the EU.
