Good luck changing people's minds like that. I'm sure some just don't care what happens to the country but 17m people, some will have believed what they were told. An get should be directed at those who misled people, not those who fell for a con.

I refer you to my response to the exact same misunderstanding from another poster despite me making it crystal clear I was not out to change anyone's mind.:

The irony is people not understanding basic ideas. Like the

fact my post has nothing to do with changing people's minds but identifying the folly of their choice and the reasoning behind it. Now there is irony for you.

Not sure why people thought I was trying to change peoples minds. Their minds are made up and they have dug their heels in and would vote the same again given the chance which numerous people have stated on here. I am not interested in changing their minds because it would be a wasted effort given that despite all the "revelations" which were obvious to everyone and anything, aside from boulders perhaps, that the so-called benefits of leaving were complete guesswork at best and utter lies for the rest.

It is also amusing that also saying that people will ignore what I said and talk about how this won't change their minds. If people can't pay attention to simple things like this then what hope is there!!

I wonder how long he’s gonna last. Can’t be too long. I reckon if I wait patiently I might get a call up too.

If you’re reading this Theresa DM me.
 
The more I see of Theresa May the more I wonder how she got there. She obviously wouldn't have been voted in as she's about as confident and convincing as a goldfish, but she must've worked her way up to near that point somehow. I thought a huge part of being a politician was about debating and public speaking. She's awful at it, even without an audience in person. I wouldn't trust her to run me a bath, nevermind run the country.
"err er y..yes it's d..ready" "it's freezing cold Theresa"
 
We need someone to start a poll thread about what they think is the most likely outcome.
Mays clusterfeck deal, a revised deal, no deal, no brexit. I would do it but I don't know how to do polls.

Fair enough. No one is really trying to change peoples minds here are we? Its shouting into the void. It would be wasted time. There are plenty of people out there though who would and probably have changed their minds based on how things have gone since the ref. Pointing and calling them idiots helps no one. Some will be idiots naturally, who just want to win, no matter the cost, but some have believed the lies and its those who remainers should be targeting.

As home secretary she promised to reduce immigration. Failed.
As PM she promised all the good stuff we brexiters voted for. Failed.

Even now she's saying she's delivering on brexit :lol:

Deluded.

What was it you voted for that she is not delivering on?

I've been very critical of her in the past but I've found new respect for her over the past couple of days. I honestly thought her red lines were incompatible with any deal with the EU so credit to her for finding one that she is willing to defend. Despite the rather sad picture she tends to make she does have some staying power, there might be more substance behind her than transpires through the telly (I thought she'd be gone within a week after the election tbh, proved me wrong).

But then again I am on the remain side of things and I don't believe that remaining itself is a viable option anymore so this is the closest it's going to get. I find myself in the strange position of being on her side for once.

I feel the same way - to be fair to her she is obviously incredibly resilient and you have to give her credit for fighting her corner despite pretty much everybody being ready to stab her in the back.
 
It's like giving Fellaini credit for playing out of his skin; he has to, because the overall talent is absent.

How are they to be found? I very much doubt they are going to willingly come forward and say "yep, they got me". How would you even begin identifying them?

I reckon May's deal will go through. Its been made abundantly clear that no one wants to take charge and be responsible for brexit. So it will stumble over the line by virtue of no one making a credible attempt to stop it.

No I don't think there's any possible chance of it getting through the house of commons. No way. It'll be voted out, and May will be in the same position as Cameron after the referendum. Will she go? Probably.
Then it'll be down to someone else to go back to the EU to either try and get more concessions, or go to the people with another vote.

That’s my view too. The ‘brexiteers’ in high level politics don’t have the bottle to take the reigns and enact a no deal. I’ve been convinced of that for a long time.
 
If May survives this I look forward to her Father Ted speech in Parliament.

"and now...we move on to Liars!"

I was watching a Question of Sport last night and it struck me that Theresa May looks like if Sue Barker died and was taken to a dodgy taxidermist.
