Regaining control of our borders? Have you ever been to a UK border?

We’re not in Shengen. You can’t just stroll across.

This trope about discarding democracy is tired too. A democracy isn’t “choose once and keep forever”. We are free to change our minds. Or are you surprised that we have general elections every so often?

Imagine the contempt with which calls for a second referendum would be treated if it were remain that had won. Not to mention, we were told that the vote would settle the issue for a generation. Oh whoops, apparently only if we voted remain!

Yes but I seriously doubt it would have gone anywhere.
