To find SOME Brexiteer gloating embarrassing?

[SirChing]

I have read threads saying that we have left and "nothing has happened, just like the millennium bug".

Well, that'll be because we are transition so the No Deal situation has been avoided - for now.

And the millennium bug didn't happen because loads of IT people worked their arses off for years to prevent it.

I have read a rant about us needing new passports for this summer costing £1000, due to remained MPs and civil servants wanting to "punish" leavers.

I am cringing at the level of gloating and "so nerr" posts on here, flinging about bollocks as facts, and celebrating something which noone seems to be able to demonstrate any positives for.

Just me?

I’ve seen more remainer posts slagging off leavers tbh!

Yes you are being very unreasonable. MN is massively biased towards remain. Nowhere else have I see such extreme views and horrible rhetoric towards leave voters. The passport post was just a silly piss take. I have posted there should be no celebrateing and no gloating.
The bile from remainers continues. It is time that all the Brexit posts stop. Before you tell me, yes I will neither read nor post on them from now on

The whole thing has been about gloating, insulting, losing/winning and a general ‘ner ner’ playground level of discourse. From both sides of course, but very much (for me) encapsulated by Farage and the Brexit MEPs’ behaviour.
I would actually suggest not reading puerile stuff that’s going to wind you up. (Says me, lounging in bed reading Twitter).

No more than remainers thinking we’ll be a third world country this time next year.

"It is time that all the Brexit posts stop"

Well that's really up to Mumsnet isn't it? People are going to discuss things on a forum for discussions. It's kind of the point.

I must admit I haven't read any "bile" from either leavers or remainers, just some spectacularly uninformed comments.

Surely all brexiteer gloating is embarrassing? Although why should you be embarrassed unless you are a brexiteer?

I don't think that the brexit posts should stop at all.
I feel that leavers should remain accountable for what they have done to this country.
I don't think the views expressed towards leavers have been extreme or horrible - they're just unpalatable to leavers because they simply don't want to be confronted with the fact that they aligned themselves with racists and liars.
So no OP yanbu.

I suppose.

Just like the Remain thread that's in Active at the moment is embarrassing (the one about Gove tomcancell all burgundy passports mid-year and force everyone to pay hundreds even a thousand pounds for a new one). Apparently that's really big on FB right now.

Thickos posting on both sides.

I'm afraid the brexit posts aren't going to stop any time soon.

Yesterday was just the first day of many many years of uncertainty, instability and disappointments (for the Brexiteers) as BJ himself has admitted.

I can't see this car crash being cleaned up for decades.

MN is massively biased towards remain.

Agree and having read various threads over the last few years, those on here who did vote leave won't say so openly due to the nastiness levelled at them.

Yawn

This picture is pretty accurate I find.

But with brexiteers vs remainers.

@lilgreen the one thing sadder than being tired/bored of such a major change in the country, is posting on a thread you find dull, simply to say "yawn".

Why is it that MN is massively biased towards remain? It's open to absolutely anyone to sign up and post. Can anyone shed any light?

How do you know that's a remainer posting? I must admit I left the thread as I could feel my brain melting, so had the OP said that they are?

I agree and I voted to Leave. But I’m sad about the whole thing. Sad the EU became the way it did to a extent I couldn’t live with it and wanted out. And I still do.

I am certainly not celebrating. I just feel like I’m reluctantly divorcing wanker

What makes you think you have more information and are better informed than those you don't agree with?

I didn't want Brexit but I find that very nieve.

Demographics. When MN researched who posts on their site, they came up with a high number of degree educated, middle class women, who tended to live in cities. So a crossover demographic with most remain voters.

What makes you think you have more information and are better informed than those you don't agree with?

Erm, because the passport thing is bollocks, it's a fact we are in transition and may still yet "no deal", and it's fact that the millennium bug was prevented by IT workers. That's why. That's not naive, just being able to read.

There is too much division and too much stress over this. The decision has been made, now we need to move on calmly. Gloating is horrible but so is blaming people. Neither achieve anything.

Let them have their fun. Let's see what they say by 31 December 2020.

@SirChing, yes that's what I thought. I'm actually surprised there are any genuine leavers on here at all. I suspect a lot of them are trolls.

Last time I told a Brexit thread where the Leavers thread is, I got called some disgusting names on that thread.
Let the dust settle, let them have their fun.

I mustn’t access a different Mumsnet to those in here! No one has seen views expressed towards leavers that are extreme or nasty. Says a lot then doesn’t it about you as individuals and what you consider to be nasty and horrible.

This has been one of the most divisive votes this country has ever seen, the comments from both sides have been nasty, gloaty and horrible.

However we now need to move on , get trade deals sorted, and both sides need to stop the nasty comments
