    So, every time an opinion poll indicates a change in mood we should hold a new referendum or GE?

    You’re so convinced your view is correct, to hell with democracy.

    Shame on you.

    Was there ever a change in mood howdy? The original question was never worded to take account of the fact that there might be a no deal scenario. That idiot Cameron never thought it through. It was just a knee jerk, xenophobic referendum based on that particularly time when terrorist activities were rife. How many would have voted to come out if voters had been warned that a no deal could result from that? Latest opinion polls show less than you may think.

    Plus why should anybody be ashamed for arguing against a xenophobic referendum? Perhaps those who voted for Brexit should be ashamed if that is the reason why they did it.

    Biglad, you are wrong.

    There’s instances of people entering the country in the back of wagons.

    Who x-rayed and scanned the contents at the border??

    Millions of packages or being sent on NDD through the EU and into the UK.

    It’s not all legal either.

    That is not the point that was made nor was it the point I was arguing about.

    Yes we all know that this already happens hence why the backstop is such rubbish.

    Smuggling has always happend and always will so to use the Irish backstop as a be all and end all by the EU is a load of bollix.

    You keep harping on about opinion polls. I've no idea which way a GE or 2nd referendum would go and it'd be a brave man to wager anything on the result.

    Argue as much as you like. You shouldn't be ashamed. You have your views.

    I don't appreciate the way you pigeon hole other voters who don't agree with you. How they are all idiots or racists. I'd wager you're more of an idiot than David Cameron. On many levels.

    As unpalatable as it is for many people, if that vote is not respected and honoured, democracy is dead in this country.

    Yes I am more of an idiot than a toff like David Cameron. I wasn't born into privilege like him. A stupid thing to do on my part...Only a comprehensive education for me never got to Eton and all that. I didn't have a pampered ubbringing or a rich mummy and daddy. I have never put my knob in a pigs mouth by the way maybe that's what clever people do...

    I wouldn't say that all brexiteers are racist/ xenophobes, I know a number of lefties who voted for Brexit who abhor such views. If you reread what I posted I said that if that was the reason certain people voted for Brexit.

    By the way, I don't care if the opinion polls are wrong, I still think that it would be disastrous for ordinary folks in this country to come out of the EU without a deal.

    Hopefully history lessons in schools in future will not have to tell kids of the monumental balls up for folks in this country which resulted from coming out of the EU without a deal...
