Totally sick of people banging on about democracy...
with a Tory party only 25% of the population voted for. There are shades of democracy and us...with a Queen...a House of Lords don't have what many people think we have, we don't have a referendum on every law. There is an expectation that we elect people to make certain decisions for us...you know because they are meant to know what to do and read up on all the dull facts.

so would you say the same if remain had won?
Democracy in the UK is shit, so the result is invalid?
Or would you say "in your face Farage, loser! Democracy prevails!"

Yes, all of them things apart from the invalid bit.
I just mean it is all democracy, democracy, democracy but once you drill down it is all about boarder controls, foreigners, harking back to a past that never really existed and some mong wanting to get their blue passport back.

nobody who voted remain even wanted this vote in the first place
and would have been quite happy if it never happened even if they won it
In fact I think most of the remainers would have been shitting themselves even if they had won, seeing how close they came to the idiots taking over.
"congratulations you won with 52% of the vote. Now enjoy your life in a country where nearly half the population hates your guts."

A two thirds majority I would grudgingly accept
But just squeaking in over the line like this… too many people are too thick to understand the consequences of their actions.
