But if there was a second referendum which showed an overwhelming majority for the EU and the Tories were driven out of power and replaced with a pro-EU party ...
Yeah yeah I know. Labour aren't anti-Brexit.

I know. Seriously. This seems to be what it keeps coming back to.
Something's going to break.

I'm wondering if deliveries of the new blue passports from France are going to get held up at the border when the UK crashes out with a deal and have to trade under WTO rules.
After all, they'll be considered a foreign import.

Indeed, we'll end up paying more for them.
I find it more funny as those that claim Brexit was a great idea, probably LOVE that their passport is blue now and "represents everything that is British..." yet is physically put together in France.
It's another level of stupidity to this whole thing
I really do hope that we either just say "this was a terrible idea" and drop it, as it's been suggested we can OR it goes to a legit vote with a majority being needed to pass the decision. From my understanding some 33 million people voted, with some 65+ million living in the UK today. A fair few people have already stated they would change their mind (I spoke to my father who voted leave, for various stupid "get out of our country", reasons, and even he said he would want to remain now), so I think the re-vote would be a crazy landslide back in the remain camps favour.
Anyway, I'll sit here (genetics wise, a product of dutch decent) in my office based in the UK, waiting for my new French British passport, and watch the world around me burn to the ground, when the old people figure out the being British means the total ammount of fuck all these days. Yeah, we once owned like 3/4 of the world, but then we showed all those places how to make the things we need, and now they make them better than we do......so we're fucked lol.
This Brexit shit really does hurt my head when I think how utterly stupid some people have been and the odd few still are
