PF > "The desparation in your rants to try and prove a point is getting quite embarrassing now"

Eh?

Can't you just admit that your accusation that the claim in my earlier post was 'nonsense' is faulty?

PF > "Why not just accept that you lost..."

No. That's not how it works. Popularity (as in the small majority who voted to leave the EU) is not a measure of the rightness or excellence of a decision. I still hold that the decision to leave, and especially in the manner outlined by Theresa May, is wrong. And I will continue to say so.

PF > "... fair and square..."

That is highly debatable.

PF > "... and spend your time doing something productive..."

I will spend my time as I see fit.

PF > "... rather then digging out an unlinked article..."

Here's a link to the full text of the article:
http://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-express/20161012/281479275929639

And here's just a snippet of that ugly, spittle-flecked rant:
"Here's what I would do with them: clap them in the Tower of London. They want to imprison us against our will in the EU so we should give them 28 days against their will to reflect on the true meaning of democracy. We're in the midst of an exhilarating people's revolution and those who stand in the way of the popular will must take what's coming to them."

PF > "... from months ago..."

I don't see how that makes a difference.

PF > "... believing every word of something printed in a Daily rag?"

Unfortunately, many people's opinions and actions are shaped by what they see written in the popular press.

PF > "And though I am trying to resist asking the question what Conservative Councillor started this petition and where and when?"

It was this Conservative Councillor:
