Looks like Britain may have the 'post-purchase blues'.

Looks like Britain is having its 'Spanish Inquisition' starting with the demise of its political leaders, moving on to the pound... And Europe hasn't even woken up the Cardinals yet!

Brexit: Petition for second EU referendum attracts millions of signatures

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-25/petition-for-second-eu-referendum-reaches-...

***

What they're not telling us is how many regretted voting for STAY - but that would be telling, wouldn't it, and counter-productive to the dummy-spit that's now asking for another referendum?

It's like the asylum seekers here in the Detention Centres whose pro bono Socialist lawyers keep applying for appeal after appeal after appeal until by the Law of Averages their 'client's are allowed to stay.

The Socialists in politics and in the media are going full-bore with propagandising on behalf of the Vichy Brits who voted to STAY.

It's like whacking an ants' nest and watching them all rushing out in a great panic, looking for something to bite.

And then there's... 'ullo, 'ullo 'ullo... Wots all viss EU fing then eh?

Quote:

HOURS after voting to leave it, Brits were frantically googling ‘what is the EU’ — and what would happen if they left it.
Call it Brexit remorse, but it seems online at least, many were showing they weren’t quite sure what they were voting for.

Brexit remorse: Brits Google ‘what is EU?’ after the vote, call for re-run

http://www.news.com.au/world/brexit-remorse-brits-google-what-is-eu-after-the-vo...

Nonsense.

The voting wasn't compulsory, and therefore they were a lot more au fait with the issues than are half of the election voters here in Australia where the voting is undemocratic for being compulsory.

You're beginning to look like one of those ants in a panic, Helian.

.... or even more it they don't get their "way". Grin

This Brexit thing has been going on for ages, the result was very close and considering that they don't have COMPULSORY voting over there it is very telling who can be bothered to vote and who cannot. Grin

I'd say they'd need, say, more than MMMD millennia signatures to bite.

Yes.

Nothing like a referendum on a gargantuan issue to divide the country down the middle, potentially precipitate a second Scottish referendum and rattle Northern Ireland...

Northern Ireland! There's a conundrum!!... More Troubles? Or (Jayzus, Mary and Joseph) talk of reunifying with the Republic?

From the inside, the Left will now embark upon a program of sabotage along a broad front to spite the Brexit voters.

It ain't a left - right thing...

Ironic that, with the PM going, Corbyn's crown is slipping...

So, after the adults have cleaned grandad's sh!t off the walls, who knows...

Another referendum? Now that the 'Wots all viss EU fing' crew have googled 'What's all this EU thing' and the 'top end of town' have cashed in on the plunging pound... And now that the Scots and Northern Irish need some mollifying....And 'President Boris' needs to be sent to (I dunno)... Coventry?

Whay does no one speak of the Welsh (boyo)?

Oh yes it is ... It's very much a luvvies versus ordinary people thing.

I've been saying it myself for some time now : Britain's 'Conservative'

(sic)

Party is just a re-badging of Tony Blair's Labour Party when it comes to issues of immigration etc.

Not at all ironic. They're political bedmates, with one sleeping on the right side while the other sleeps on the left.

Still perpetuating this lie, Herbert?

Voting is NOT compulsory in Australia. No one stands beside you in the polling booth and makes you mark your ballot paper. No one actually forces you to accept a ballot paper when you have your name marked off the electoral roll.

All that you are required to do is just that, have your name marked off the electoral roll and as far as the state is concerned, that confirms you have voted. All votes are secret, if made. I one knows who voted for whom.

Unlike the UK, where your electoral roll number is marked on your ballot paper at the time of issue. All ballot papers are retained for IIRC 10 years and so your vote can be traced and they can identify everybody who voted for a particular candidate. Hardly a "secret ballot" in the UK! Roll Eyes
