Most of the Tory government were remainers, including Osborne and Cameron, so don't understand how your hypothesis that the government wanted a Brexit works.

Also if the government are being investigated for human rights abuse and you offer this up as a reason why they can't be trusted then why should we be more concerned about that than the hypocrisy of the EU who are supposed to be the experts on human rights. I think is it very relevant. Why would we want to be in the EU based on that? Supporters of human rights only when it suits it seems. No thanks.

The government are simply doing their job - that is what we are paying them for.

The whole reason we are briexitting is to remove ourselves from under the EU law umbrella... That way this govt can do what it likes with everyone, as in any marginalised group, including the disabled.

But the government were largely against Brexit including Cameron. That makes no sense to me. We are Brexiting because the leavers got the vote and the government are reluctantly obliged to follow it through.

Stop and ask yourself why and whilst youre at it, ask yourself why everyone (leavers and remainers) seem to be stepping down from their brexit-related post. Get back to me if you come to a conclusion.

I don't truly believe they were 100% behind remain, there would've been more made of the benefits and the govt would've worked harder to stop the lies of the leave campaign had they been serious imo.
The govt don't appear that reluctant though do they? May was a remainer though you would never know now would you?
If anyone thinks this is due to the will of the people or a democratic process I think that's rubbish, personally I think as heard in farages monologue regarding his early days as an MEP this has been a long time coming from the centre right faction of both the labour and conservative camps.

Farage wasn't in the Tory government, what has him stepping down got to do with the government doing their job and putting the process of leaving the EU into gear. You led me nowhere dear.

I wasnt even thinking about Farage. Although good point, he left the sinking ship asap too. Maybe we need a longer think about why everybody (leavers and remainers) are stepping down, we havent got too far yet.

Leavers step down for unknown reasons
Remainer fills in
Remainer picks up leavers mess and doesnt know what to do with it
Remainers are ruining everything that leavers have worked for

Good logic m8888

Remainers are trying to negotiate a deal more suited to their plan. The words 'soft/hard' Brexit had never been uttered until after the vote and the government got a chance to 'influence' the process.

Sounds you didn't read it but I could say the same to you, how much does one statement by someone in the red Cross really mean and how factual is it. You choose to believe what you wish, so will I.

The NHS has never been in 'profit'. Not sure where you are getting that from. There were reports in the 80s of people dying in trollies. Nothing has changed really, it needs more cash it always has. It's probably the shining star of our society but it's expensive to run and the drug companies Rob us blind.

It needs some sort of extra boost similar to the way sport has benefitted from the lottery IMO.

Honestly, its got to the point where most news is good news because any news is progress. Whining about remainers who arent doing a good job of brexit is the most mindless whine i can imagine from anyone really where brexit is concerned - the leavers have done a ****storm job of it too and it was their bloody idea. The hard/soft/black/white words also pisses me off, I think its just a way for the government to say - i dont ****ing know - and get away with it, then in march - when whatever happens happens, they'll just be all like "oh yeh, we were always aiming for a fluffy navy brexit with yellow stripes, that way we can still work towards improving it in the future" There wasnt a plan, but a planless idea won, perhaps this should have been made clearer to voters to lessen the post-brexit "youre mucking everything up" whines (you cant muck up a plan that never existed, its like me giving you a set of drawers from ikea but shredding up the instructions, and then getting in a hissy when i find it isnt finished the way the ikea salesman told me it should have been - thats how mindless your whine is)... now we have to let people attempt to make a plan and do it well by March, its possible. Probably?

It was arrogance, Cameron and Osborne didn't think they could lose.

For 30 years politicians had been avoiding letting public vote on anything EU related because they were afraid the public would vote against. I think so much time has passed without giving us any say that Cameron either forgot that or thought we'd just vote remain because we were so used to being in. He seriously miscalculated.

I am simply pointing out that the leavers, most of which were not in the government, are not involved in seeing the process through for that reason. Unfortunately that job is in the hands of a predominantly remain government.

I'd quite like to hear who all the leavers deserting the process and resigning are too. Not holding breath for a straight answer though!

David Davis, Liam Fox and Boris Johnson all voted leave.. Granted theyre all a bit thick, who would you prefer? - There isnt a good predominantly leave government, all of the main 9 are predominantly remain.

They are certainly brighter than the other 8 in my book. Lets not be too hasty though in underestimating the power of the righteous!
