Really Britain? Is this how far we have come? Get a blooming grip and start working together. My family was divided on the vote. At no time during our discussions did we throw insults at each other. At no time since the result have we thrown insults at each other. It's democracy! What scares me most is the hard line "In" voters that are hell bent on Britain failing regardless of what it will cost.
Yes, I agree with RTS on this. The petition for a second referendum is ridiculous, and I hope Parliament treats it with the contempt it deserves. In a democracy, if the people vote Stupid, then it's Stupid we get. But it's still a better system than anything else that has been tried.

It would also be a disaster if there is too much dithering before the Article 50 process is started. Leaving us in a limbo with a declared intention to leave, but not actually doing anything about it, is what would really upset the economy - quite apart from the hard feelings it would generate among the 52%. But it's not actually clear that anyone in the Tory party (or anywhere else) actually has the guts to start Article 50.
