To think there seems no depth to which remainers...

Will not stoop in persecuting Brexiteers. Childish namecalling 'thick', 'racist' 'gammon', and now the vexatious private prosecution against Boris Johnson which was quashed before it even got to court.

This website makes interesting reading. Instead of the tabloids. For example, until the Brexit vote, the UK were on the "winning side" of voting in EU laws 95% of the time, abstained 3% so that's 2% of EU laws we didn't agree with...

My dad is a (thoroughly radicalised) brexiter and I get on fine with him.

brexiters who think the EU set education policy.

That interview was an eye opener. I'd heard, from people whose opinion I trust (colleagues who live in the Peterborough area) that the BXP candidate was a "good local candidate" that they could understand people voting for. And yet that interview suggests he's lazy, not very bright and full of opinions that are based on no knowledge of the real world whatsoever.

He might be a nice guy who gives to charity and has successful businesses but shouldn't MP's have some working knowledge of basic public policy areas like education, and might it not be a good idea for MPs who are standing on a Brexit platform to having some basic fucking idea of what the EU actually does?

Boris also wasted shed loads of money on the water cannons he bought after the London riots and then discovered he legally couldn’t use🙄.

This thread makes me sad.

Sad to be unfairly painted by the descriptions the op used, that in no way apply to me.

Sad that the country is so divided, and that some people can't help but make personal insults based on political differences.

And most of all, sad that Scotland is still embroiled in this huge mess, because we were told staying in the UK was the only way to avoid it!

In other news, the tory government is really helping to strengthen the case for Scottish (and Welsh and Northern Irish come to that!) independence.

I really don’t get how a man who cannot even be trusted to the right thing by his wife and children can be trusted with the Country. He’s a self serving nasty piece of work - I know lots of politicians are but he really pushes it to a new level.

A lot of remainers are really filled with hate. They would rather destroy this country than let us have our freedom back again.

Fine to plough ahead with Brexit and destroy NI, though, which is also part of “this country”, the U.K. When it suits you, apparently.

I was being a bit optimistic yes.
But one way or another, we’ll have to get back to some sort of normality & stop all the arguing. It probably will take a generation ( I believe there are still deep divisions in some mining communities over the 80’s strikes ) but eventually people have to move on.
I genuinely believe it’s the uncertainty that is causing the most upset.
At least once we know what’s happening we can deal with it and get back to tackling other issues. Brexit is taking up so much time ( & money )

I wonder if the other three countries within the UK (the two that voted against Brexit, and the one that has come out recently as being against it) could vote to kick England out of the UK? That way the only country that currently supports Brexit would be out if the EU by default...

(apologies to the very many English remainers out there for this tongue in cheek suggestion)

"A lot of remainers are really filled with hate. They would rather destroy this country than let us have our freedom back again."

Presume you are just having a laugh with this one. Like Trump trying to turn his horribleness in its head and saying he's a champion of women's rights. He actually has the nerve to do this.

Yes it's deffo remainders that filled my inbox with vile hate and threats when I posted an opinion (not discussing one side or another) on a news article comment section.... oh wait, no it wasn't.

Heart bleeds for poor persecuted BJ. And for Nazarin Ratcliffe. Imagine how sorry we'd all feel for BJ if he was unjustly shut up in prison like her and hoped a government official might intervene on his behalf. Then the official made it ten times worse. We'd all be distraught on his behalf.

Freedom to do what that will benefit us in any particular way? We already have very favourable trade deals made with most of the rest of the world by us as a member of the EU.
Out of the EU our power and influence will be greatly diminished. A free trade deal with the USA would be almost entirely on their terms and detrimental to sectors here.

Hmm, interesting Dizzy. The royal family could apply for asylum in Scotland or one of the others and take their titles with them. We could rename the then, greatly diminished, England as Little England. Perfect.

Bullshit goadiness, abdication of responsibility and turning your own failings around to pretend they are actually carried out by other people - has Donald Trump started posting on MN?

But your link also says this;

"The UK has been in a losing minority more often over the past few years."

"between 2009 and 2015 the UK voted against the majority 12.3% of the time, compared to 2.6% of the time between 2004 and 2009."

"That made it the country most likely to be on the losing side during the later period—the closest competitors were Germany and Austria, which were on the losing side 5.4% of the time."

Hurray! Clavinova is here with links nobody reads!

Huh? They've posted a response to a link that someone else posted, having read the website that it links to.

Your comment makes no sense.

You think a stupid goady thread merits one of your links? Weird.

@bellinisurge

@DizzyPigeon she's a regular nonsense talker on the brexit threads who posts links that don't back up her arguments and most people ignore.

But she hasn't posted a link...

Links/quotes/whatever

You're right @DizzyPigeon . No link in their post. Not this one. But soon enough they will be bestowed upon us. 😂😂

Wow.

So let me get this right.

You have issues with what a poster posted on other threads, and although they haven't done that on this thread, it's OK to start on them about it.

In real life that would be called harassment..
