Indeed. Which is to be shafted. No doubt they'll be the ones complaining the loudest when austerity starts to affect them directly, but they won't be getting my sympathy. No Tory voter ever will. Happy Christmas.

More from Twitter:
"this is a blip in our history. Brexit will be a total disaster the Tories have to own, and we will rejoin Europe soon enough. It will cost us billions, and perhaps hundreds of lives, but can you negotiate with millions of thugs like @MarkFrancois12 ?"
Let's call it "determined ignorance", which one day will pass. What a shame it happened.
And of course people will die. Whoever heard of a poor country where the death rate wasn't high?

It's no secret that the 5% that swung it to Leave were pure ex UKIP racists, worried about a flood of Muslims, but it's hard to stomach it in view of this:

The Sweet Cheat
@thesweetcheat
No-one else to blame now. Tory voters, you own this and everything else that's coming. Not the EU, not the immigrants, not the left, not the Irish, not the judges, not the remainers, not parliament. You.
And Scotland will be ignored again :-(

Just read that there were 49,109 "tip-offs" by members of the public to immigration enforcement in a single year (2014-15). That's basically the capacity of Anfield. This snitching, petty, racist little shithole of a country is the absolute worst.
And now Labour is saying it needs to appeal more to Leave voters. Twats.

I think that would be hard to do Drew. I can understand why Scotland wants independence but struggle to see how it would work in you stayed in the EU while England and Wales left. I know it is historic treaty but Scotland signed the Treaty of Union way back when
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Union
so they need permission from Westminster to hold another referendum - BJ ain't going to give it because it would break up the UK.
Northern Ireland, however, did not sign such a treaty so I suspect a United Ireland will happen first by means of a border poll, the reunification of Ireland - time will tell. I hope it is a peaceful transition.

But it still means England and Wales get what they voted, fair enough, their democratic vote is respected. Meanwhile the Govt in England says No to the democratic vote up here, down south voted Con/Lab alliance in, meanwhile we rejected them. There is a pattern emerging.

Great Britain hasn't existed since 1801.
The whole canon of English Law was suspended in 1706. It was never re-introduced. Scots law continued.
One nation in a temporary political Union does NOT have to ask the other Nation for permission to hold a referendum on their future. That isn't any kind of Union. The settled will of the people decides. That's politics and the whole of the Law.
