Yes it appears bogged in thick sand with little ability to be able to extract itself. A great shame so many are falling prey to individuals whose self interest is far removed from the expectations and desires of many voters.

Indeed.
If only MPs would stop blocking the Brexit that a majority of people in the UK voted for in a referendum result that was promised to deliver Brexit.

That's a mischaractisation of the vote.



The majority of people in the UK didn't vote for Brexit, but the majority that voted in the non-binding referendum did vote for it.


I still find it absurd that even the MPs who want it are not willing to actually put it into effect and most involved at the start have abandoned their involvement.

Not forgetting a number of those voted for misleading policy and lies built around emotive topics like funding for NHS (which Farage would happily it appears dispense with) immigration lies and general deceit. Like Johnson holding a previous conviction that UK belonged in EU.

What about Project Fear lies ?
You know - an immediate recession and 750,000 jobs lost just on a Leave vote alone ?
The trouble for Remain is they've spent three years whining about a bus and that's still all they've got.
I've yet to meet a single person persuaded to vote Leave by what was written on a bus.
Not one.

You know your campaign is winning when Alastair " Dodgy dossier 45 minutes to WMD " Campbell starts accusing you of being dishonest.

No complaints from me if the financial sector is culled somewhat in London. But wait until UK finally leaves before coming to such conclusions. Both sides obviously exaggerate their positions and spin.
I for one,have yet to hear any practical reason as to why the UK would benefit from leaving EU.

maybe you should talk to some English born people who have become a minority in their own community.
