But it was the Leave vote that had the majority. Thus, the UK is attempting to leave the EU backed by a campaign of lies and deceit.

Remain was the default option, equivalent in outcome to not having had a referendum at all.

Majority of what? The FUD? In another post I've given a series of links showing some of the crap that was flung around by the remain campaign, of which there was plenty. Bob Geldof on the Thames hurling abuse at Nigel Garage? That was a pretty sight. Eddie Izzard slagging off leave on Question Time didn't look too good either.

And if we are on the topic of lies and deceit let's consider the ongoing campaign to undermine the democratic decision of the British people, quisling puppet Gina Miller, war mongerer Blair et al. Lovely bunch of people. It wouldn't surprise me if the £350m was deliberately planted to give remoaners a weapon to undermine the result.

The majority of the vote.

Please explain your reasoning behind this one, it just sounds like a nonsensical accusation to me. She did everyone a favour by helping to ensure that Parliamentary authority was not compromised.

Not moaning, just very concerned about the huge self-inflicted wound of Brexit and how it's going to damage the UK. I'm just hoping it will go so badly in the negotiations that they're forced to abandon it.
