When I was married, my Spanish wife and I would talk to each other in our own native language, so I would always talk to her in English (except when with non-English speakers) and she always spoke to me in Spanish (with the same caveat). We often used to get the odd strange look but this would have blown poor Nostalgic's mind I imagine
This is fake.
No-one voted for Theresa May either, that's not how a parliamentary democracy works. The EU is no less democratic than the UK, in fact more so. Nobody un-elected gets to pass laws in EU, the European Parliament (elected directly by us) and the European Commission (one member per elected government of each member state) must pass all laws and can suggest amendments.
This is another common misconception in Britain. I live in Germany and I think it shows a fundamental difference in mentality between the British and the Germans. Germans tend to think longer term in my experience and, while there's no doubt that German manufacturers would rather see a deal made, they are absolutely not willing to do this if it risks the fundamental pillars of the European Union, even if it means taking some short term pain. For them, the long term stability of the EU is more important. The British seem to be more like the Americans IMO, think much more short term, and therefore simply cannot understand the position of German industry - they're in denial.
Won't the German (and any other) car manufactureres be looking more towards Russia and the Far East for trade/deals/sales rather than the UK these days? Point being if Germany visa the EU got those deals, and we aren't in the EU, could we miss out? Mind you, we have to have something to sell anyway, and I'm not sure what we can make that's not produced elsewhere much cheaper - unless we hammer worker's wages to rock-bottom?
That might be what people tend to do, but that is not how our parliamentary democracy works. You are voting for a party and not the person, the party can change their leader at any time and you get no new vote.
That might be your view, but it doesn't change the reality ;-)
To typify it as "crying" is childish. Very few Remainers are "crying" but simply trying to construct reasoned arguments as to why leaving is a bad idea and that many of the arguments used by the leave campaign were outright lies and relied on people not informing themselves of the consequences.
Speak for yourself, but I happen to feel very European, although I can't claim to speak for the rest of the UK.
Not sure why you keep bringing UK IQ, I never mentioned it, nor did I imply yours was in any way deficient! You're right, they had a choice, but the referendum "leave" campaign was fought by liars and cheats and illegally funded. It was also not clear what people voted for, the choice was between remain and and almost infinite number of shades of leave, ranging from a hard-brexit through to a Norway-style free-trade agreement (which was championed by many of the liars in chief at the time). Now it is becoming clear exactly what type of Brexit we're headed for I think the only fair thing to do now is have a second referendum.
To some extent it's irrelevant what the car manufacturers in Germany think, while they represent a fairly large amount of exports to the UK they are just one industry in a group of 27 countries, all of whom have to agree to any deal with the UK. Even if they had gone bashing down Merkel's door demanding a trade deal with the UK (as the Brexiters told us they would), and even if Merkel were minded to take any notice of them, the remaining 26 countries would have to agree to whatever deal was offered.
I think May's swiiming against the tide and can't survive - why? She's boxed herself in to her red lines (one is to drop freedom of movement) and yet have no border in Ireland (the UK's only land border with the EU) and the two are incompatible.
Fair enough, and it's nice to have a reasoned discussion for a change
I think the problem is, if you are a Leaver you are judged by the company you keep, which unfortunately is the Far Right and a bunch of proven liars and snake-oil salesmen.I think whatever happens now there is potential for civil unrest unfortunately. If a new referendum came out on the side of remain, obviously there would be the possibility of the Far Right agitating unrest. If we leave with no deal, the consequences are so dire that civil unrest is even more likely and we'd be in serious trouble.
I agree with you here, it was a complete failure to put across the benefits of EU membership that was partly responsible, but it's also a massively difficult task to overcome decades of self-interested, right-wing media anti-EU propaganda (bent bananas anyone?).
I hope this happens, but I'm genuinely interested to know which bit of the EU you'd like to change?

We will not get a better deal than we have now, not with anyone, it's a simple fact. The EU will not give us a better trade deal with them outside of the club than we had inside, that much ought to be clear to anyone. Nor will we be able to negotiate better trade deals with countries that we already have a trade deal with via the EU. This is partly because they have no incentive to give a better deal to us, as a smaller player we have a far weaker negotiating hand, but also because the trade deals that are already in place have clauses specifically disallowing better deals to be negotiated with other countries (in other words, if Japan negotiated a better deal with the UK than it has with the EU, that deal would also have to be extended to the EU).
