I have thought about my integrity, and I am quite content that I have plenty of it, but thank you for the suggestion Naomi.
No, ymb, you are still wrong about understanding me. It is quite simple, really: Brexit is turning into a disaster, and I want to have nothing to do with it. You are completely wrong that a "No Deal" exit would have been, or still could be, the better course, and I think it is absolutely right to continue to argue against that. What else do you expect me to do?
The far less democratic position is to insist that your opponents must abandon their beliefs and support positions that they condemned. No. This is not how democracy works. It never has been, and it never will be. That is for you to recognise, not for me to abandon. And, lest I be accused again of hypocrisy, I can assure you that were the positions reversed I would absolutely understand if Brexiteers had continued to fight on in the belief that EU membership was bad for the UK. Again, how could they do anything less, if it truly was as bad as they claimed?
Take back your apology if you must. I am sorry that you think ill of me. But you are quite wrong about me, and I hope that in time I have an opportunity to prove that more completely. On Brexit we fundamentally disagree, and, sadly, the shadow of the 2016 referendum does, I concede, make my position look difficult to defend. But not impossible. All I ask you to do is listen, without prejudice, and try to understand that this is not about thwarting democracy but about fighting for what I believe to be right.
