Wow...bit full on Ram. Not sure where to start, but I’ll try.
I don’t think Corbyn was a ‘Russia apologist’. Back in March he wanted evidence before the Government started making accusations. That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me and it has taken six months for today’s evidence to be revealed.
I haven’t got a lot of time for Corbyn, none at all for Putin and I don’t in any way support the actions that were taken, but politics is a dirty business and the only people I have real sympathy for are the entirely innocent British citizens who got caught up in it all.
As for the Brexit bit, I don’t think I’m being a hypocrite. I always thought the notion of having a referendum on such a complex issue was ridiculous and foolhardy and my suggestion that many Brexitears now see the error of their ways was a suggestion not me trying to put forward a ‘fact’.
I feel that many ‘Remainers’ from all areas of the political spectrum are reluctant to call for a second referendum because people such as yourself will immediately launch the bandwagon of them being anti democratic. I also feel that many Brexiteers have serious misgivings about admitting they were wrong because it would be political suicide to do so.
Having said all that...a second referendum would not, imo, be undemocratic because 37% doesn’t constitute anything like a democratic majority and if no politician is going to have the ‘balls’ to say ‘this wasn’t meant to happen...it only serves to damage our country...it was always ‘mission impossible’ but has been horribly mishandled’...then let’s have a second, compulsory referendum - preferably for those aged six**** and over. At least then you will have a truly democratic decision and there can be little doubt that the ‘people’ are now better informed than they were in 2016.
So, it would be far from perfect but it would be a resolution. As for all the doom and gloom prophecies about Brexit...well the £ fell immediately, following the Referendum, and has never come close to recovery and...in case you hadn’t noticed...it hasn’t actually happened yet.
