You've confused me too Kursk, if it's any consolation ;)

I've taken to insulting remoaners because of the torrents of abuse that I started receiving from them right after the outcome of the vote. If they can't handle it, they shouldn't dish it out in the first place :shrug: :)

Well, since you voted remain, it's a given that you're easily confused. ;):D

And then people say the same about you after all many of the 'remoaners' you insult would be people who didn't insult others....

In the end you'll both still be in the gutter, what does it matter who fell in first?

I get the distinct feeling that those who I insult will all have been 'guilty' of the same thing first.

At least I'll be looking at the stars, whereas remoaners are always contemplating the drains. :D

Can you give us some examples of these "torrents of abuse" you personally received?

Ah now it is a "feeling" that you have been insulted .. Mmmm ... if we're not careful, you will be driving around in a bus with the offending remarks writ large

Can't be bothered to revisit all that. You'll just have to use your imagination.....but be sure to include the words 'idiot', racist', 'stupid' in your musings.

No, it's not a feeling that I've been insulted. If you read my post carefully, it's a feeling that the person that I'm insulting has already done the same to a brexiteer

Quote:

Michael Deacon, parliamentary sketchwriter for The Daily Telegraph, summarised the core message of post-truth politics as "Facts are negative. Facts are pessimistic. Facts are unpatriotic." He added that post-truth politics can also include a claimed rejection of partisanship and negative campaigning.[24] In this context, campaigners can push a utopian "positive campaign" to which rebuttals can be dismissed as smears and scaremongering and opposition as partisan.[2][24]

Wrong, we would have been in gutter had we remained in EU, it is a sinking ship, not a question of if it fails but when ?

Everything fails in the end Mick, even us. The EU isn't perfect, however if we think we're better off outside the biggest single market in the World, then we're living in cloud Cuckoo land.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the single market has actually held us back over the years in terms of trading with other nations ,this report goes into great detail to explain why the single market isn't as good as it is made out to be

http://www.civitas.org.uk/email-reso...nd-paradox.pdf

Basically the single market only really benefits those countries that are net recipients of the EU ,net contributors like us don't really benefit ,we have more expensive goods and we take more economic refugees than most other EU countries .There's also the problem that the single market makes no account for the differences in a countries social infrastructure ,we have the NHS and a comprehensive welfare system free and open to any EU citizen because of the single market free movement rules ,where is the same system in France or Germany

I wasn't referring to the EU but how we treat each other.

Everyone. I was referring to the difference between people who insult each other (in the gutter) and those who don't. More specifically it was just an analogy that points out 'who started it first' ultimately doesn't matter.

So *if* you were insulting me then that means I must have called you "racist", etc. I certainly don't recall calling anyone on this forum racist so you are either mistaken or just overreacting ..

Well, you are so fundamentally wrong. When EU fails and it will fail, do you think the single market will still exist or be worth staying in it ?

Stop thinking in such small terms as that is living in cuckoo land.
