    Since following the success of the Leave campaign, a deal had then to be
    made between the parties
    involved, which simply *could not be* a rCObetrayal
    of democracyrCO on the simple grounds that that was the next part of the
    Leave process and was rightly undertaken by the faction with the most
    votes. Leave had won the vote, and the negotiations followed. None of that
    is rCOegregiousrCO or a rCObetrayal of democracyrCO. ItrCOs how the system works.

    I'm going to leave it there I think, since watching you repeatedly rewrite
    what I said to mean different things and then demandingI justify these
    random inventions of yours grows old very quickly,
    and life is far too short to correct every single invention and fundamental misunderstanding you come up with - especially when you seem to have an
    endless supply of them.

    feast, which is something you might care to reflect on.

    Binned for being hurtful:

    I know you're excited to have a new phrase to play with and all, but
    perhaps you should find out what it means before tossing it about with such
    gay abandon?

    Or, on the other hand, there might just be too much tossing-about on the
    group of assertions without evidence. People posting such fact-free things
    as rCLNone of that is truerCY, for example, and expecting that to end the discussion.

    But perhaps we should be grateful nonetheless, an alternative response
    could be in the form of a bloviating word salad.
