Indeed. I'm fully behind Bruce's right to demand a rematch!

No its is valid and a reflection of the whinging and whinging

Fair enough we can’t help how we feel as individuals and are
allowed to speak freely about it, we are adult after all.
But once a vote/result has been made, this should be honoured.
If not what do we make it; best of 3, best of 5, best of 7
perhaps, maybe best of 33? It all gets a bit silly and what’s
the point of a fair vote/game if we don’t stick to the end
result. I wonder had it been the other way round, would that
side who argue then still feel the same way about a
revote/rematch? Then would that be fair?
I just feel it’s very toys out of pram stuff.

Hmm yes let's entirely ignore the reasons why people might be
unhappy about this beyond "they lost the vote" and just compare
it to the result of a sporting contest, that's not incredibly
asinine or anything.
Should a vote be honoured when the winning side has repeatedly
broken the law? Or when they campaign on promises they have zero
intention of sticking to? Or when they campaign for something
and then are exposed for having literally no clue on how to
actually implement it, despite it being the single most
important political, economic, and social event to hit this
country since the last world war?
Gosh no, let's just go "haha you lost" and put our fingers in
our ears instead. That's the adult response to this cluster.
People are absolutely right to be angry about this. And if you
support Brexit, you should be angry too, because the people who
promised you Brexit are utterly clueless chancers who are making
an absolute disaster of it.

Look at the truth, our PM was a remainer and most of the people
who wanted to deliver brexit aren’t allowed anywhere near it
ironically. I’m not angry nor will I be, I know what I voted
for. I’m not going “haha you lost”. Think your missing the point
sir. I never said it’s not ok for people not to be angry, you
can be what you want to be. Both sides told lies, both sides
told truths. Look at Osborn for example. Anyway, let’s agree to
disagree, spare me the argument. Some people do have a clue,
just those people and their solutions aren’t being utilised by
the PM etc due to party interests. Either way, there will always
be people unhappy no matter what. There’s no pleasing everyone.
That’s one in many ways why we vote.

To everybody on this post who may be concerned. Having PM’d
Jammy I’d thought I’d follow up on here..
Please do not feel like I am goading. I can promise you that’s
not my intentions in the slightest. And I completely agree a
game and a serious vote are completely two different things. We
all have a right to be angry, happy or however we feel and as
such have a right to speak freely. I completely respect any and
every view, whether I agree or disagree with them.
I wouldn’t want you to read into my post as though I’m on the
offensive or that I am in an aggressive tone, I am not. There is
an empthatic, understanding, respectful voice in my words on a
post that isn’t there to see and I again apologise if it feels
as though I’m out to goad etc.
Anyway, we all support Quins, we all want what’s best for our
futures!
Many thanks and regards,
EaQ

Your latest post does explain your thoughts, so I too, don't
want to remoan but:-
"most of the people who wanted to deliver brexit aren’t allowed
anywhere near it..." - excepting that Davis, Boris and Gove got
some top 3 jobs in her cabinet!
"Both sides told lies, both sides told truths" - one side told
many lies for many years, both sides made unreasonable forecasts
of what would/might happen next
Time for clues is over - answers needed now, with actions to
follow swiftly - and neither party has the confidence to go one
way or the other as the issue is so divisive as it was not
discussed properly before the vote, and the referendum question
was too ambiguous.
As for Bruce Craig - he's just an acerbic rug
