There is nothing impossible about leaving the EU. It's not like the Referendum demanded the UK to colonise Pluto.

And its the government itself that initiated this on its terms so it should follow through on it. Not a fringe party but the ruling government parties.

I never did say this. I did say keeping the promises of the Leave campaigners is impossible.

The terms were that this referendum is not binding.

There's nothing impossible about jumping off a cliff either, it's just inadvisable.

But of course, and more to the point of what the grandparent post was saying, if the promise was that you will happily land on a soft bed of £350 million in delicately crumpled £10 notes, then meeting that promise may be impossible.
