Undemocratic people are marching in the streets of London for a second referendum.

Meanwhile, democrats are currently marching from Sunderland TO London, and a whole bunch of lorry drivers are driving TO London, where they will all congregate outside that filthy, stinking whorehouse of undemocratic filth on Parliament Square on Friday to demand the inept scum that grows on the walls within actually honour the result of the referendum.

You're quite right, there. That's the kind of Parliament you get when the majority of its personnel are undemocratic Remainer crybabies with the intellectual capabilities of a boiled potato.

In a democracy, the voters get the government they deserve, no?

Brexit explained by a car in the driveway.

A husband and wife decide they want to leave the house for the day. They step outside, lock the door to the house, get in the car in the driveway, and then argue for hours as to whether they should go the the restautant down the street or to the cinema a little farther out. Hours later, they're still sitting in the car in the driveway arguing about where they should go. So, they both want to leave their home. They both agree on that. So if they both agree that they want to leave, why would they still be sitting in their car in the driveway hours later?

That's Brexit in a nutshell, folks.

Theresa May is currently holding a crisis meeting at the Prime Minister's offical country residence, Chequers, at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire.

British media is just waiting to see if this means that she is just about to announce her resignation. If she resigns, she will almost certainly be replaced by a Brexiteer as this time, unlike the last leadership contest after the referendum, it will be ordinary Tory Party members who get to choose their leader rather than Tory politicians. Dominic Raab is probably the most likely person to take over from May as PM...

Theresa May gathers ministers and MPs for Chequers crisis talks amid 'cabinet coup'

The prime minister is gathering a group of senior Conservatives at her country retreat amid speculation she could be ousted.

Theresa May is holding crisis talks with government ministers and senior Conservative MPs amid a flurry of reports she could be forced from Downing Street.

The prime minister has gathered the group at her Chequers country retreat this afternoon as she battles to deal with the ongoing Brexit crisis and keep her grip on power.

She has been joined by Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington, Environment Secretary Michael Gove, Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay, chief whip Julian Smith, and Conservative Party chairman Brandon Lewis.

Tory Brexiteers are being represented by Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab, Iain Duncan Smith and Jacob Rees-Mogg, while Mrs May's long-time ally Damian Green, the former Deputy PM, has also travelled to the Buckinghamshire residence.

The prime minister's first Brexit secretary, David Davis, was also understood to be a possible attendee.

Both Mr Lidington and Mr Gove have been named as possible replacements for Mrs May, but Chancellor Philip Hammond earlier warned Tory MPs against ousting the prime minister, despite growing anger at her handling of Brexit.

Mr Hammond branded conversations about replacing the prime minister as "self-indulgent", with the UK having less than three weeks to come up with a Brexit solution or face leaving the bloc without a divorce deal.

that is a lot of white people.

What do you expect in a country that's 87% white? I'm glad that the runners and riders in the contest to be the new PM accurately reflect the nation's ethnic make-up.

As usual you are fast and loose with the facts.

How would they exit?
First they need a referendum. Second, they would then need to vote to leave. And, thirdly, if they vote to leave the British Government could just ignore it.
Why do they need a referendum?

The EU might just greet them with open arms after the idiot shit-show from Britain.

Well they would need a referendum.

Or do you propose taking them out of the UK without even knowing whether that's what the people want? A recent poll, asking Scots aged 16 or over, found that 60% of Scots would vote against leaving the UK in another independence referendum, and just 40% would vote to leave - so a second referendum would likely win it for the Unionists by an even bigger margin than in 2014 (so the Remainers were wrong when they said Brexit would start the Scots clamouring to the exit door).

Of course, the Scots are ****ed when it comes to leaving the UK and joining the EU. If they did such a thing they would have to join the disastrous euro, and the vast majority of Scots wish to keep the pound.

So you want the Brexit referendum overturned just because you don't like it.

AND, you want Scotland to be pulled out of the UK without even bothering to ask the Scottish people whether or not that's what they want.

You're not much of a democratic, are you?
