The 2nd English Civil War
I HOPE THAT I'M WRONG
Blood is already being spilt on a small scale here on the streets of England over this matter, and I can only hope that the violence doesn't escalate.
It's quite simple:- Over 3 years ago we had a referendum as promised years earlier, on whether to leave or remain in the “European Union”.
17.4 Million people, that's 52% of the voters decided to LEAVE, as opposed to 48% who decided to remain. Note :- the largest number of eligible voters for decades actually voted.
As a result the UK government were TOLD by the People to get us OUT of the “EU”.
David Cameron (who voted to remain) was Prime Minister at that time, and because the referendum received the WRONG ANSWER from the People, he was forced to resign.
IN A DEMOCRACY, PEOPLE ABIDE BY THE MAJORITY'S DECISION.
Theresa May (who also voted to remain) was then chosen as Prime Minister, and so was given the task. She was offered a “deal” by the “EU” (under which the EU still controlled our laws, and it was basically WORTHLESS). She then offered the “deal” to the UK government and it was rejected THREE TIMES.
THE PEOPLE DIDN'T VOTE FOR A “DEAL”, THEY VOTED TO LEAVE.
This process took 3 years, and she was then forced to resign.
Boris Johnson (who actually voted to leave) was then chosen as Prime Minister, and so was given the task. He then set about the job “With or without a deal”, although preferably through negotiation, but in order to do that effectively, he needs the “no deal” option on the table.
Unfortunately the majority of UK politicians (and EU politicians) are absolutely TERRIFIED of the UK leaving the EU. Reasons :-
a) Many are under about 58 years old and so don't remember that life here before the “EU” was OK.
b) MONEY.
For mainly these reasons the majority of our politicians are hell bent on bringing down Boris Johnson, and most importantly stopping the UK from leaving, which is CONTRARY TO THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE.
SO MUCH FOR DEMOCRACY !!
To those who voted “remain”, I would say “YOU LOST, GET OVER IT”.
To all politicians, I would say “DO AS YOU'RE TOLD, YOU'RE THERE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE, NOT YOURSELVES”.
Feelings are running pretty high here where I am in the East Anglian region of England, and I sincerely hope that this matter doesn't result in more bloodshed, as it's already looking very ugly.

Re: The 2nd English Civil War
I sense your passion and frustration. This farcical state of affairs around brexit is becoming very, very, tiresome. Personally I'm all for cutting and running, which may not be the most informed opinion politically speaking but I have absolutely no doubts we could ride the storm, survive any maelstrom and eventually emerge stronger as a country. It's a British trait.
Margaret Thatcher must be turning in her grave.
