If you cannot engage in debate, get off the stage. Provide links to your statement that recent polls showed a majority want to leave as you asserted. If you don't or can't then you are trolling, factually speaking.

No, we cant hear you now that you are better educated about the facts. "We know better." Democracy is sacrosanct when it suits the bully. Well, if what the people say is SO important then bloody HELL listen to them NOW! The changing of opinions is what got women the vote and rid of slavery, etc.

‘I do not believe there should be any special terms for EU migrants,’ he wrote to Labour peer Lord Adonis. ‘Once we have left the EU there will be no legal basis to treat them differently from migrants from non-EU countries.’

I am not sure what the whole context of the clip is but JRM proclaims that the front bench and Theresa May made a "great mistake" by not guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens to stay in the UK right after the referendum. The link in the second tweet from the 6th September this year has JRM stating that EU nationals will have no extra rights over other nationals from other countries. This is from the link in the tweet.

You know the part that does not mention leaving the single market, that talks about joining Norway/Switzerland etc. during the debate. You know; minor things like actual facts rather than 1984 style revision of history.
Scoondal wrote: » I still think that it insulting to the UK electorate to tell them that they are wrong. It doesn't surprise me that they voted out because I have a low opinion of UK. But as per recent polls only 49% said "Britain" was wrong to leave EU. And there you have it. Still 49%. Do we really need idiots in EU ?

Would Nigel Farage have accepted it as a decisive mandate? Would Boris Johnson continued to run on a platform of Euro-scepticism, given the (ahem) overwhelming result? Would mr. or mrs. Question Time "17.4 million people!" have popped EU flags onto the wing mirrors of their car? Would any of them accepted a Remainer telling them, "Will of the people!"? The answer is, no, of course not. That's why it's hilarious when they accuse Remainers of trying to scupper the Brexit process.

Or Ireland, for that matter. Were they always a bit more shielded from this anyway, by not being in the Eurozone? It seems like they have the best of everything at the moment and are absolutely mad to vote leave.
