Herald Scotland ^ | 6/27/16

Sir Richard Branson has called on Parliament to take a second look at the EU referendum.

He believes the Leave vote has "opened a Pandora's Box of negative consequences" for Britain, fed on "false promises" by Brexiteers.

As Jim Quinn (radio host) always says, “Leftists love democracy, until the vote doesn’t go their way.”

All I heard this weekend on various shows, is how STUPID the people who voted to leave were. They voted against the own best interests. The 'people' are too stupid to make important decisions. Well, when the 'elite' make decisions, the 'people' have to live with the consequences.

One of the many great things about Ronald Reagan was that he had great faith in 'the people'. If someone wants to tell me about the great successes of the 'elite', I would love to hear about it.

Between always voting for your “best-interest” and between voting on principal one option leaves you with no principals.

You can’t have just one more vote. It would have to be best two out of three.

He owns an airline. His own pocketbook interests are linked to maintaining visa-free travel.

The 'people' are too stupid to make important decisions.

The next logical step is that the people will not be allowed to make them.

Branson's the dolt who denied even knowing the pilot who died in one of the Virgin Galactic flight tests, then got called on it, then got forgiven.

If Leftists can’t lose elections, why have them at all? Just let everyone start shooting each other to solve their problems.

1. If the EU has been a positive in British lives, why didn’t the EU forces easily win this referendum?

2. How many divisions does Sir Knight have?

The 'people' are too stupid to make important decisions.

Sadly, some aren't even trying to hide that view... There was some British politician on the BBC the night of the Brexit vote saying that the referendum was a foolish idea and that the people should never been "allowed" to make such an important decision because they simply did not have the knowledge and background to decide correctly and that decisions of this magnitude should have been left only to the politicians and experts. The disgusting thing was how casually he said it, I realize the British have more of a "subject" mentality than we do, but still the way the elites blatantly look and talk down to the people is amazing.

“visa-free travel”

It is mainly the British (via their Border Patrol) that give tourists a hard time.

The French just checked to see that my passport picture looked like me and swiped my passport electronically into the French system. Took about 45 seconds each time.

It took me almost 90 minutes to pass through the UK Border Patrol checkpoint at Gatwick and about 60 minutes to pass thought the three USCIS checkpoints at BWI.

Brits will be able to travel as easily to the Continent as Americans can.

Keep cool - carry on.

The Brits with any sort of backbone should arm themselves and take a “second look” at those who wish to enslave them.

Eventually people are going to wake up to the fact their vote doesn’t mean very much. Here in the states time and time again people in a majority of the states voted to uphold traditional marriage only to have one state and federal court after another declare their votes didn’t mean a damned thing.

Taxation without representation is the least of our worries now, we don’t have any representation in the state capitals and especially in Washington.
