Great point Steve. We often hear leave voters didn't know what we were voting for but that was only true in relation to the referendum being 'advisory', because I certainly didn't know that was the case and assumed like you that the promise in the Cameron's pamphlet to implement the result was a binding agreement between the Government and the population who had been asked to give their view on an important constitutional question.
Over the past 3 years I have slowly come to believe that this 'advisory' nonsense was a planted 'backstop' (to nick a phrase) which could be triggered if we did vote to leave.
All it took was a patsy like Gena Miller to take the Government to court and hand the running of BREXIT to an unrepresented Parliament (who are 70% remain and with a bias Speaker) who could then disrupt and derail BREXIT for years with the intention of stopping it altogether.
I fully accept Boris is pulling fast one and using underhand tactics but for years remain have been doing the same. John Bercow a supposedly impartial Speaker of the House has openly boasted of his intention to stop BREXIT despite the result of the referendum. So the PM has decided to fight fire with fire and good for him!
While I totally agree that nobody knew at the time, the bill that went through Parliament says clearly that the referendum was ‘advisory’ and not legally binding. Truth is both sides have been making things up to help their arguments.
Truth is Wales and the UK as a whole want to leave this failing project. All the rest is just wind and piss, we voted to leave it’s time we left.
As a Scotsman you should be aware that Scotland voted remain as did the north of Ireland. Brexit has hastened the end of the uk, Scotland will soon be free and The island of Ireland will be one country. That leaves Wales and England! Hod help us
As a Scotsman I know Scotland did better as part of a United Kingdom than on its own.As a Scotsman I. Know Braveheart isn’t a documentary. The Natz based their economy on one commodity, oil. what’s your plan for Wales? What do you suggest people in Northern Ireland who wish to remain British do, in the event of a United Ireland.
As a Scotsman you should also know that whisky is the uk’s biggest export! Think you’ll find that England needs Scotland more than Scotland needs England!

Well I wish you would tell that to the remain side. I fully accept that the 'bus' was a huge mistake and pushed the point so much that it could-not have been credible i.e. £370mpw would go to the NHS when we didn't actually send £370m to the EU when the rebate and project spending in the UK was taken into account.
However, remain were just as bad. No mention the referendum was 'advisory' until after they lost, 800,000 job losses just by voting for BREXIT and Osborne's punishment budget both of which NEVER happened.
But the one thing that drives me mad about remain spokesmen is when they start telling me 'what I voted for' and 'what I knew'. They have no authority to speak on behalf of leave voters and certainly shouldn't put dishonest words into our mouths.
I voted out and if that meant no deal then I fully understood the consequences.
Funny you talk about George Osbourne's punishment which was £30 billion but the bank of England has said we've lost growth of over £73billion thanks to brexit.
We're also currently on nearly 250,000 job losses due to brexit (not including indirect job losses) so I imagine after no deal we'll hit your 800,000 and you can be happy.
For balance here's some leave lies:

I have to give credit to the leavers who apparently saw through all these dastardly lies and instead knew that they were voting, not for sovereignty or wealth, but to make themselves worse off

Scotch Whisky topped UK exports in 2018 growing 7.8% in terms of value to £4.7bn. Of course, if you read the articles 30% was to EU countries, which will now be subject to tariffs and could be lost. No wonder Scotland needs to stay in Europe really is it.

If Scotch whisky was the UK's biggest export at S4 billion we would be well and truly up sh*t street. Reckon most of that stuff must have been exported to his house.

Here we go remain will grab any stat to try and prove their position. Firstly there was no Osborne punishment budget which was simply part of 'Project Fear' i.e. an attempt to frighten voters into voting remain.
Secondly we have lost growth since the BREXIT vote, BUT that was not due to the BREXIT vote. Germany very much part of the EU has lost even more growth over the same period and so has France and other EU countries. If the EU was this economic heaven then surely these countries would have been shielded from OUR decision to leave?
The reason why they were not is there are other factors out there which affect world growth. The impending US/China trade war is far more of a factor than BREXIT will ever be to world growth.![]()
Where you get 250,000 job losses from is beyond me. Since the BREXIT vote unemployment has fallen significantly and presently their is a record number of people in work

So what is so bad?. Here are the facts;
Parliament is NOT being prorogued for 5 weeks but 5 days maximum!
MPs had already agreed to a recess for 4 weeks to enable party conferences to take place, as happens EVERY YEAR!
It is NORMAL CONSTITUTIONAL PRACTICE for a new PM to select a new Cabinet and prorogue Parliament for a new Queens Speech
The current session of Parliament has already been sitting for the longest time in 400 years, and is massively overdue!.
BORIS JOHNSON is NOT being UNDEMOCRATIC, NOT BEING a DICTATOR, but legitimately following custom and practice
Article 50 was passed in law by a significant majority around 2.5 years ago for the UK to leave the EU WITH or WITHOUT a deal!
MPs have had 3 years to debate and reach agreement on what they consider an acceptable deal and HAVE FAILED to do so!
MPs have REJECTED 3 times the only deal the EU is prepared to offer to date, despite it keeping the UK closely tied to the EU, almost certainly in definitely!
MPs have requested 2 extensions lasting 9 months and have FAILED to come up with and AGREE any ALTERNATIVES with just about every conceivable option being put forward, by numerous MPs across all parties!
MPs STILL have no idea how to resolve the issue, other than SEEK ANOTHER EXTENSION!
WITHOUT NO DEAL, the UK has no negotiating powers, the EU ALWAYS negotiates hard, we will achieve nothing more from the EU by removing no deal!
THE EU will grant another Extension, as it's in their interests, but will dictate the terms of doing so to Parliament!
So where does this leave us;
Democracy has NOT been sidelined
Parliament is NOT being prorogued for 5 weeks but a max of one week
The PM is NOT being unconstitutional.
MPs have already passed a law that means the UK can legally leave the EU on 31/10/19 without a deal
A definition of insanity is doing what you have always done and keep expecting a different outcome!
If the EU will not offer a better deal then its time to leave on WTO terms and move on.
