A valiant attempt but I fear your words are falling on particularly deaf ears.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

The thread started off in the day with interesting discussions about the UK's relationship with the EU post-Brexit. Come the end of the evening and without provocation people are throwing names around that would not be out of place on the school playground.

The quote was from the Guardian article :dunce:

You're are right here. The constant use of the childish names is aimed at winding people up. It has no other purpose from what I can see. It certainly does not further debate, just the opposite.

I would like to thank you for this post. Your analysis is accurate and unbiased.

The referendum had a (small) majority to leave the EU. There was not a vote on the terms of leaving. The Leave campaign (in its many forms) had a variety of suggestions some of which have already been ruled out (by the Leave leaders themselves).

The bottom line is that we are leaving the EU. However, it is the responsbility of the Government to get the best deal for the long term prosperity of the country.

It is not the duty of the Government to seek some ideological hard-core Brexit solution just so it can appease the zealous right wingers.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Yep. Guilty as charged. After all the names that brexiteers like myself were called after the vote (stupid, racist etc) , I figured that as I can't beat the remoaners I'll join them.
Funny how the snowflakes get unhappy when it's done to them :D

I agree completely. The problem is that the govt won't really be able to get the best deals if it's thoughts and plans are open to scrutiny by all and sundry before negotiations start.

I agree again but if remoaners keep pushing and obstructing the process they may well force the govt to hard brexit asap rather than risk the process being adversely softened or scuppered completely.

I'll leave this here again: New Lib Dem MP Skewered on Brexit :D

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

thats never going away is it :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It's no accident that the Lib-Dems are so pro-EU. They only hear what they want to hear, think the same way and employ the very same tactics as the Eurocrats. They commend the process when it suits but immediately call it into question when it doesn't then set about undermining anything or anyone who has the temerity to disagree. The truth is that they're only interested in the democratic process when it yields what they want - to hell with it when it doesn't.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

If people on this forum called you (specifically) stupid and/or racist, I would expect that to be reported. If one or two people on this forum tarred all Brexit supporters as racist and/or stupid, you would be justified in commenting back to them using your terms.

However, if you are taking it out on anyone here who disagrees with you because a few behaved badly, it would seem that the 'special snowflake' hat appears to be firmly perched on your head...;)

I thought most people grew out of the 'but they did it first' behaviour around adolescence...

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I'm doing my best not to grow up :pp: :D
I'll try to behave myself henceforth :D

Yep, a masterclass in pinning down a remoaner. It does illustrate nicely how disingenuous some of them are being. :D

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

some of them ? don't you mean most of them ;)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I do enjoy it when a politician hits the nail squarely on the thumb.:D

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

And the name calling isn't a recent phenomena purely linked purely to Brexit either. Anyone who's dared to challenge uncontrolled migration, for example, has long been fair game for all sorts of abuse from many of those on the left. Not much attempt at adult debate, despite regular promises that one could be had. No, plenty of shouting down, taunts and jibes directed at anyone who dared to voice their concerns by those who claim to abhor abuse and intimidation based on any form of stereotyping but don't mind resorting to it when it suits.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Indeed. Hence my shorter than usual fuse when talking to our liberal bretheren of late.
Goose/gander.......doesn't seem to work both ways :shrug:

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

In the interest of fairness, can we have some examples where you (and others), as individuals, have been subject to the name calling you are complaining and (over) reacting to?

We can see the large number of posts that you and others are doing this but I am willing to be convinced so where are these many posts that are doing the same thing to you?

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

its too distressing to bring it all up again .
