You insist against all evidence that Brexit means Brexit without any irony about how dumb that sounds.
You simply refuse to address any evidence that all forms of Brexit harm, and insist there’s a majority for a hard Brexit despite all evidence to the contrary.
People like you are ruining the UK. You’re on the same level as climate change deniers, flat earthers and Trumpists.
Can you just go away, please? Your contributions, if that’s what we can charitably call them, to the Brexit debate are just corrosive and the opposite of helpful. The Straight Dope is about fighting ignorance, but you are doing the opposite.

He’s a pompous twat who has been bugging my tits off on here for fucking years.
He seems to have absolutely no comprehension of the complexities of Brexit, and in previous threads he’s “stepped away” when challenged by those who do, rather than make any effort to learn. (kudos to you all btw - you’ve far more patience than me)
Your position leaves no flexibility on trying to avoid likely very significant damage to your country. Democracy is not a suicide pact. If the majority voted for nuclear destruction, responsible members of government would still try to avoid nuclear destruction. Representative democracy means that elected representatives can and should do what’s best for the country, even if it might conflict with majority will (and especially if there are indications that the “majority will” determination was highly flawed, and that the present majority will might well be different). That doesn’t conflict with the concept of democratic government.
I’ve read many of your posts and have never come away with the impression that you are all that happy with people who disagree with you. Just sayin’.
In any event, I don’t have a dog in this fight except to say that I’m mildly amused by your lame evasions to avoid answering the yes or no question “Did the British people vote to unilaterally abandon all EU treaties and trade deals?”
Quartz is a limited person with a simplistic understanding of the world. He gets frightened and angry by the modern world and likes to make the simplistic statements, but runs away when they are shown to be stupid and wrong, I think of his silly pat on head argument about Cameron…
Oh, I had no idea he’d blocked me. Bit rich seeing as how he claims we don’t like people disagreeing with us. Funny!
Can someone tell him we are happy with disagreement, but we expect our counterparts to actually debate with facts and evidence and not stamp his feet impotently and expect his fantasies to be treated as equivalent to reality?
Once again, climate change deniers, flat earthers, trumpists come to mind.

And your problem is? The threat of nukes is currently the only real deterrent against Argentina should they become aggressive. And nukes would have stopped the Korean and Vietnam wars very quickly.
