Great mopeds.Putsch....
I was aiming to be more provocative than rude, but it's a pretty fine line - probably not really a particularly pretty one, but hey ho...It’s a bit rude to say that the opinions of people I know are worthless but hey ho, its your prerogative to think that.
Or perhaps you mean that any opinion that differs to your own is worthless? Who knows?
That is a fair point, but it was directed more at your "in business, in the West Midlands" social circle, that you claim have changed their inclination from Remain to Leave. It seems almost incomprehensible to me that, given the clusterf*ck of the last three years, anyone would decide that, you know what?, leaving the EU sounds like it actually would be a really good idea. I have changed my mind.What is interesting is that you comment on “my social circle” without actually knowing who my friends are and who I mix with.
The company you keep - see ^ a) & b)You said that if you were me, you’d be rethinking.
About what exactly, should I be re thinking?
Very few people I know have changed their mind, most have if anything become more entrenched. Some would happily see the world burn for a blue passport.
This reflects my experience as well.
People who told me we must reluctantly accept the democratic decision and implement a Norway-plus Brexit are now campaigning to rescind article 50. People who told me we would get a generous deal easily are now telling me they wanted no-deal all along.
Similar here, those that voted leave are (in the main) now saying literally anything that happens is what they voted for. Several are even very vocally supporting the suspension of parliament to get the job done, the kicker being they keep saying in the name of democracy. I've had one happily (even viciously?) agree that the (unelected by us) PM should hold ultimate power over the MPs we chose to represent us.
I suspect there would be even less silence about the matter in that event.The only way to really stop everyone talking about Brexit is to Revoke Article 50.
Mmm, ask him if that applies in other cases...he thinks the facts have changed regarding party membership and that is enough to allow another vote in the name of democracy.

The company you keep -
As with so many things, a specific thread exists - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/ind...of-whitehall-in-the-city-of-westminster.3484/Some of you may remember an actor called Brian Rix !! He was actually quite a sensible fellow who made his mark in classic British farces (a sort of giant piss take of the British way of life, which usually involved troubles with women, and losing your trousers every other act (is that not familiar to some, or is that not familiar to some ? ))
I can't help but think Brian is looking down on all this behaviour and wondering how there can actually be a situation even more farcical than him in his hay day !!
He must be turning in his grave.
