In a nutshell, #SCOTUS back in 1905 used bad logic, relied on old science & made ridiculous assumption that doctors are infallible to give govt green light to force healthy Americans to risk their lives with a pharmaceutical product based on “common belief” rather than fact

Piously waving the “greater good” flag, #SCOTUS in Jacobson v Massachusetts threw civil liberties out the door creating the legal club used today to take away your right to freedom of thought, conscience & religion when making vaccine decisions for yourself or your children

If you voted Brexit wanting/expecting a deal with the EU but now you want #NoDealBrexit, then YOU have changed your mind about what relationship you want with the rest of the EU. If you have that right, WE ALL DO!
The 2016 referendum didn't permanently put the 52% in charge!

Deal and No Deal are completely different relationships with the EU.
(Arguably Deal is closer to Remain than No Deal)
"Leave" just ends our current relationship. It can't give Brexiteers carte blanche to decide which one *most* of 37% of the electorate want.

Actually, a young guy we met in Leeds yesterday called that the "Tyranny of the minority of the majority" because ending up with No Deal would be something that only a small part of those who voted Brexit actually wanted at the time.
