Libtard
Libtard n. Portmanteu of "liberal" and "retard". Someone who, intoxicated by being knowlegable and right about politics and economics, forgets that they need to get actual real ordinary people to support them if their agenda is to be advanced. Often but not always rich, well meaning and with good insight to society's problems, but naive about the mechanics of politics and utterly ignorant about how power actually works.

Couldn't find the word in my Oxford English Dictionary. Seems to come from the US, and is a contemptuous term for anyone that disagrees with the Donald. We're British and proud, so let's keep it that way without resorting to US slang abuse.

another rendering of the term


libtard
noun
/libˈtärd/
1. an individual, whose thinking process has been
rendered impaired by political correctness and the
failure to understand that people are responsible
for their actions and the world does not owe lazy
or stupid people a living.

Even if not then every day life.
Absolutely right, in my local office with work, we have nearly a 100 customer service representatives, covering the whole of Europe plus the Middle East and Russia. We have nearly 40 different nationalities and, off the top of my head, only Malta and Luxembourg aren't represented from the EU. It's a great place to work, a real melting pot.

We had a mail through today from a head honcho. Apparently 8% of our UK workforce are EU nationals, nearly 1200 people. The company I work with are in constant talks with the government about Brexit - over 50 meetings so far!

Whereas.....
Not going to be true for teachers and educators in general who teach the students of EU or Commonwealth parents.

More education needed, no idea what "Portmanteu" is ..

Really interested in what "actual real ordinary people" are

... the European Commission has today issued a finance paper which faces up to the reality of the EU without its second biggest financier. The report on “Future Financing of the EU” is from a high-level group set up jointly by the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission, chaired by Mario Monti. The literal money quote is:

“The gap in EU finances arising from the United Kingdom’s withdrawal and from the financing needs of new priorities need to be clearly acknowledged.”

Reality dawning methinks.

More education needed by the author. No such word as "knowlegable". We all make spelling mistakes but not in a dictionary!

You can be a remainer and patriotic you know

Just don't get the double standards of some, who hate the EU, but are very fond of us becoming another state of the US; throwing about Americanisms like 'Libtard' etc. We're closer to Europe, in fact we're still in Europe, whatever daft decision we've made. France supplies us with fine wines and cheeses, the US has given us McDonalds....

Agreed. The number of Americanisms I've seen on this forum by Brexiters who proclaim themselves to be more patriotic due to their decision on 23/6/16 is somewhat contradictory.
