to find it impossible to forgive Brexiters

[mrsmootoo]

Can't forgive Brexiters for voting Leave. Find it impossible to move on from this. If there are any positives about leaving EU (?!) they are far outweighed by Remaining. Brexit posts on social media are so aggressive and unpleasant - you lost get over it. Really concerned about my kids' prospects, not being able to travel/work abroad as easily etc.

You should be thanking them not forgiving
What for?

find that hard to believe as that goes completely against free movement.
Well its true. Its free movement of labour.

Come up North, bask in the glory that was life under the EU
I life 'up North' I still don't understand why anyone voted leave. Or what the torys decision to embrace austerity has got to do with the EU.
The EU has actually put a lot of money into Northern towns.

Look where we are , how much better off are we than our grandparents. . Watch call the midwifes, and the slums.
Then tell me how hard your life is.

How long do we reckon the 'it's too early to tell' narrative will last?

49 years

Shush nonny, Remain supporting Northerners are inconvenient. We certainly can't acknowledge that the northern cities were primarily Remain.

And what if we thrive.
The UK always rises.
We have a work ethic, and our financial market will now be open to the rest of the world.

Well IF we thrive there's no problem is there. But even the Brexiteers say it could take 50+ years until we might possibly 'thrive'. How old are you?. Are you going to live to even see this possibility come to fruition?

So. I've answered your question. Now I'd like you to answer mine. What happens whilst we're waiting to 'thrive?' What happens to the people who are going to lose their jobs?

What happens to the organisations which rely entirely on EU funding? There's one called Balance which supports people who have been affected by mental illness to get back into work. They encourage employers to take on somebody who has found it difficult to find work due to mental illness by paying their first 3 months wages. So the employer can give the potential employee a chance at no financial risk to themselves and after the 3 months there is the possibility of the employee being offered a permanent job.

If their funding is cut which it will be, Balance will have to shut down. I doubt if the government will provide funding, they won't have the money after brexit as the economy will tank. Are you bothered in the slightest about the people who will no longer be able to benefit from such a brilliant service? Somehow I doubt it.

So, I await your response.

Look where we are , how much better off are we than our grandparents. . Watch call the midwifes,

You do know that's not a documentary, right? And how is me being better off than my grandparents a reason to leave the EU? I mean, given my grandparents spent most of their lives without the EU and I've spent most of mine in it, I would think that would lead me to the opposite conclusion.

Look where we are , how much better off are we than our grandparents. . Watch call the midwifes, and the slums.
Then tell me how hard your life is

Do you seriously think everyone lived in slums in the 50/60s. Or that people still don’t live in them? You do know there are more homeless people than ever before, don’t you? Or maybe not if your reality is through the lens of Call the fucking Midwife.

We are not far off of what people were like in the 50’s/60’s, maybe we are just more blind to what is going in? I only have to walk through my local town to see the many homeless people, there are people living in slums, there are families sharing a small room in a bed sit/temp housing. Slavery is happening but it’s rarely talked about, women are still selling their bodies to feed their kids and many people rely on food banks.

What's done is done. Can't do anything about it now

Yes we can, the campaign to rejoin have already started and our young people are overwhelmingly pro EU.

As for this -
Better to get behind it and hope for the best.

Brexit is supported my every racist far right group going, I will NEVER get behind them.

@dimsum123 Balance sounds brilliant. What a shame it's now at risk.

How many people do you know that live as they did in the program.
My dad agreed life was like that.
You refuse to admit life will not return to these kind of conditions, leavers know this, and people have swapped to our view, that time has come to move forward, rather than cry over what was.
The MPs blew your chance to lock things down, each time they have let you down, by their very intransigence, have hand you this .

@mrsmootoo

Boo hoo.

Yes we can, the campaign to rejoin have already started and our young people are overwhelmingly pro EU.

Doubt we'll be rejoining any time soon.

Brexit is supported my every racist far right group going, I will NEVER get behind them.

Whilst that I agree that all racists are brexiteers, I don't believe all brexiteers are racists. 🤷‍♂️ It's not the only reason people chose to leave. I'm not a brexiteer, I campaigned to remain. It didn't happen. That's it, for now anyway, as far as I'm concerned.

How many people do you know that live as they did in the program.
My dad agreed life was like that

Life was like that for some people. It still is for some people. If Brexit has the effect on the economy predicted by many experts, the number of homeless and slum dwelling people will increase exponentially. There are no sunny uplands.

Is it me, or does Mummmy2017 increasingly sound like a bot? I'm not really sure what her argument is or where it's coming from and much of it is barely literate. Not just that the autocorrect is throwing us the occasional odd word - it just isn't coherent at all.

@Firecarrier - another uncalled for, graceless, mannerless response.

Love the fact the poll has gone the same way the actual vote did .

Sorry, probably not a useful comment.

Would a bot be so ridiculous as to reference Sunday night tv ‘Call the Midwifes’ as evidence of how things ‘used to be’? Surely only a human being would be this bizarre. I’m wondering employed troll (possibly overseas) though. Very strange.

No just trying to make you see that your hate towards leavers gets you no where.

The MPs blew your chance to lock things down, each time they have let you down, by their very intransigence, have hand you this

Is this the start? Leavers failing to take responsibility for their vote?
You voted for it.
Own your shit.
As for the 'we'll reap the benefits in 50-100 years' comments. Are you thick? What happens in the interim. There's not likely to be a fucking planet in 100 years time.
If I didn't read it with my own eyes I'd never believe the utter stupidity.

I don’t think it’s a bot, some of the pre election posts from that poster were as comical as they were frustrating. It makes me question the wisdom of universal suffrage.

So are you going to blank your boss, and speak to him like this should you find out he voted leave.
Refuse drink in the pub, so you don't bump into some of the leavers.
Your bus driver. Bet he voted Leave best get of the bus.
