I didn't say that though did I? I stated that Parliament went into recess, at which point the Government and opposition have no legislative business.

But I am still totally gutted by the result - and a little bit disappointed in my fellow countrymen. Not liking the apparent legitimisation of xenophobia that the brexit win appears to have unleashed on us.

Living in west London I pass the Polish War memorial regularly and each time I am reminded that's 100's of polish airmen fled Poland and came to fly Spitfires in the Battle of Britain. without that extra manpower who knows how that day might have ended. Respect.

The country manages to get by without a government and opposition when parliament goes into recess
Parliament goes in to recess. To state the country manages to get by "without a government and opposition" during that period is factually untrue. There is no period during the year when the country gets by without a government and opposition.

The SNP is more than ready to be the opposition.

My company hasn't has its travel plans affected and I don't see that changing in relation to Brexit.

Completely agree with you, I am absolutely devastated and ashamed to be from Sheffield. I really thought we were different.

I completely reject these ideas that Brexit is abandonment of our European allies. I think it's offensive to draw comparisons with the war and human sacrifice. It's that sepia tinted nonsense. The Polish felt abandoned when "we" let Stalin cut the country up.

Apparently Brexiteers need to calm the racists because they are responsible for them. The same argument is not made for other groups.

Folks, after only after a few posts this thread is already way off-topic and deep into OMNI/PR territory.

If you have access, please join the wider Brexit discussion there, not here on the BA forum.

Thank you for your cooperation.
