Lets see we have...
The "cake and eat it" line - Check
Use of childish name calling - Check
Accusations of racism - Check
And lastly diversion - Check
Classic.

Isn't it odd how all of those things are still true?
Tell me again how we're going to be miles better off post brexit?

Well for one we won't be ruled by an organisation that brushes of the use of nerve agents on one of it's states.
Tell me again when the apocalypse that was predicted if we vote leave is going to happen.

The currency is fucked, growth has stalled compared to the rest of the eu nations, inflation is on the up, wages aren't increasing in line with them, our infrastructure projects are under risk, (although with HS2, that's a damn good thing), the cost of living has increased and finally we have empowered a bunch of racists to literally kill MPs and beat up innocent people.
What exactly has to happen for you to consider it bad? I mean actually the heavens splitting apart, raining fire and the dead walking? I guess that's potentially in line with believing Brexit was a good plan.

So it can't be all bad.

"We voted Brexit because we actively want to spite people". Nice.

Well, I didn't vote for Brexit
But I do enjoy seeing stupid people frothing with rage.
Not that there aren't excellent reasons for wishing to remain in the EU. It's just that you're unable to articulate them. All you're capable of is rage and name-calling.

But you're a self confessed racist, you must be a leaver.
You've just popped Dinnys bubble.

Please explain why I shouldn't be angry that half the country had been hijacked by people determined to fuck over our economy, restrict my freedom of movement, isolate the country politically and culturally, remove my human rights and in the process highlight just how unfit both our government and opposition are to anyone with eyes?

You don't think the government will follow through on their promise to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of rights? A bill that May says will include specific provisions for extra snooping powers and imprisonment measures.

that this is being admitted now.

For real this time?
Because first it was to be after the vote. (Punishment budget etc)
Them goal posts keep moving.
Maybe you'll get your wish, we'll see.
But it'll still be worth it.

I believe the freedom to make your own decisions is worth the risk of something going wrong.
See also making own laws, controlling our borders (Ireland exempt), state aid, Control over our fisheries (yes I know), ethical trade policy that doesn't totally fuck over Africans, etc.
Worth it.

We have control over our borders. Go read the Schengen agreement. We're not part of it.
We are now in a position where we have to accept a number of EU laws but have lost our veto, so we have less power and control over making our own laws than when we could guide them.
Fisheries? I guess you'll be on the boat with Rees-Mogg then.
Ethical Trade policy with Africa? A noble concept, but which Tory party member is championing your noble idea at the expense of their pocket lining?

So go make your own decisions somewhere
be the bastion of bootstrapping and self reliance we know all brexiters to be.
Stop relying on a society and laws based on communal benefit and strike out on your own.
Just whatever you decide to do, do not drag us with you. Apart from the fact that we are quite happy with things the way they are, it does not fit with your stated political outlook, being that we should choose for ourselves...

Nope, you were quiet happy with the way things are.
The majority either weren't or didn't care enough to vote when finally given the option.
Maybe if we were given the choice on the future of our role in the EU before hand maybe things would be different.
But no, government after government refused to let the plebs decide.
1975 is the last time we got a say.
We've been dragged along for decades now it's our turn.

"Freedom to make your own decisions". what that does that mean?
You want the current shower of fuckwits in charge you have more avenues to make fucking awful decisions?
Because it won't be you or i making these decisions about which direction the uk goes. i bet you that direction will be a race to the bottom.
"ethical trade policy" with the saudi arse licking tories in charge?!
"Making our own laws" what can we not currently do that you'd like to?
"Controlling our borders" this country NEEDS immigration. Immigrants are net contributors to the economy.
"Control over our fisheries". I remember looking up how big an area this was and to me it looked insanely unfair how much more we had than the others.

OK
How about when Putin, who funded it to weaken the EU and NATO, starts blatantly provoking the west, specifically the country he just paid to weaken, and they respond in such a way that he can validate military action?
I am reminded of foreign policy as described by Bill Hicks using a fictional recount of Jack Palance in the movie Shane, throwing the pistol at the sheep herder's feet: "Pick it up."
"I don't wanna pick it up mister, you'll shoot me."
"Pick up the gun."
"Mister, I don't want no trouble, huh. I just came down town here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about 10 rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, mister."
"Pick up the gun."
Boom, boom.
"You all saw him. He had a gun."
In this example, Putin is Jack Palance and the UK is the homesteader who is about to point a gun at Palance.

Well we're not about attack russia military so I don't see how you can make that comparison.
In fact the UK state appears to have been appeasing putins actions here for some time.The use of a military nerve agent must have just been too big to cover up as a suicide.
It was originally being spun by the state as fentanyl poisoning.
Might have stayed that way until a police responder got it too and they had to decontaminate half of Salisbury.

Neither was the sheep herder about to attack Jack Palance in the analogy. Do you really not understand English?

I just see that as sensible
when an entity blatantly more capable of dealing with any conflict is trying to force one, the only proper way through is to not rise to their blatant baiting.
Of course with all the right wing shit rags bleating about traitors, sovereignty, and nationalism, it will be difficult for the PM to justify doing so even though it is important that they do not rise to the bait.
EDIT : and if you read the tweet that started this whole conversation, Junkers mentions security TWICE in it.
These people know what they are saying and they dog whistle it to each other all the time. They know Putin is trying to weaken the EU and NATO and they are telling him they will be trying to stop that.
"relations between the #EU and #Russia are crucial to the #security of our continent. Our objective should be to re-establish a cooperative pan-European security order."
Which to me sounds like they take the killings seriously, so seriously they will not twattersplat about them, unlike a certain American president...
