    Yes, yes. Often people who follow me for my stuff on Social Justice scholarship & activism are then disappointed to find out that I'm not a fan of religion or that I think Brexit is a terrible idea. We are all made of many ideas. Try to remain calm. Rolling of eyes is fine.

        I am a Liberal who hates the Regressive Left and I also happen to think that Brexit was a bad idea. I also do not support holding a referendum again and again until you get the result you want. There are people from both the Right and the Left who doesn't get me!

        The idea one can hold a referendum until you get the result you want doesn't work. It's not like tossing a coin. We'll always get the result the voters want. Depends whether we think minds have changed significantly or if there is information to vote on that wasn't there before

        No, democracy did not stop after you got the result you wanted. We still have the right to discuss whether there is justification for a referendum. You could support that if you're confident Brexit is still the will of the people?

        You can't throw away a democratic decision though. as much as you can debate its merits.

        Replying to @Sneaky_Disease @CarlKenner @BlackMambaTrade

        No, we'd have to change it with another democratic decision. And we'd need to argue out whether there was enough new information or evidence of changed minds to justify this. I am undecided on this and would like to see arguments on both sides.

        So basically you didn't like the result of the first referendum and you want to ignore the first result and would like to have another referendum...

        That would be an uncharitable reading. If remain had won but then the EU changed rules or there was reason to think more people, we could talk about whether it was worth asking the people what they wanted again too.

        I stick it on the shelf because the holder broke years ago and I never bothered to replace it. Therefore I am spared this judgement.

        That's actually why I like you haha. You are somewhat different than the usual "expert", more real in a way. Even if I don't always agree with you.

        Brexit was about controlling the UK's borders and migration movements. How many more of these stories do you think the UK populace has to stomach for you to think there is sufficient rationale behind such a decision?pic.twitter.com/ZmTOm6PhxJ

        I'm glad we don't agree on everything because that is how people learn and broaden their horizons. Exposure to well thought out opposing points of view is a precious thing in a divided world.
