Not blind religious fervour.

Spot on. Patriotism won't feed the kids.

Deadsouls · 21/03/2017 22:39

Well the will of the people had just become a meaningless phrase to me. What am I trying to say? I think I was attempting to stretch out a hand to the 'other' side maybe.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 21/03/2017 22:40

It's not that I think arguing is not constructive, it's just not constructive for me.

I'm not supporting Brexit. In 20 years time when people shake their heads and look back at this clusterfuck at least I can say it wasn't in my name.

The other side can only offer soundbites. That's the fundamental problem.

Deadsouls · 21/03/2017 22:42

Well it's not what I voted for either.

squishysquirmy · 21/03/2017 22:43

I don't think arguing in establishments like this is a good idea if it gets under your skin too much - too many anger vampires lurking around, who actively enjoy getting a rise out of people, and very few who want to listen.

The thing you have to understand is that we are not politicians, experts or economists. We dont have the answers. This is just a jokey thread to relax.

The remainers don't have any answers either, they are just spouting fear and ignorance. Oh my god, workers will lose all their rights, the environment will be trashed, everyone will move to the other side of the world, the poor will become slaves... Its all nonsense.

Leavers support making everyone in the UK better, we just believe its possible and no one has proven the opposite.

These threads have always been fine & inclusive to all who were not arseholes.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 06:35

I'm struggling to see how a devalued pound and rising inflation is good for all. Project fear indeed.

Badders123 · 22/03/2017 07:12

Project "this is actually happening"

Come on brexiters!!

Show us the plan!!

InfiniteSheldon · 22/03/2017 07:16

This thread has been taken over very effectively. Well done this tome Badders, Frank etc all you have completely shut down any debate and discussion. Any view other than yours is truly unacceptable to you isn't it? You could ignore this thread, comment politely, dispute points like @Bearbehind does. Shame on you for such intolerant fascist behaviour.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 07:19

We are currently addressing points devaluing pound, job losses, Brexit plan etc. Please feel free to join in.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 07:20

its remainers that usually get accused of hysteria Shock

Gosh.

I'm a traitor.
I'm a remoaner.
And now I'm a fascist too!

I don't know how I find the time tbh.

YOU are the one incapable of dealing with those who dont agree with you...what part of that news report do you find offensive/untrue/difficult to understand?...do you think that these companies are lying? Do you think this is still project fear?

Imjustapoorboy · 22/03/2017 07:38

It's a religion. And just like fundlementilists fervent brexiters appear unable to accept any thing any critism of their religion
That isn't possible you see. It questions tge basis of their belief system

IamWendy · 22/03/2017 07:44

If it's a religion, where does one go to get baptised, because I'm a born again brexiteer!! has a little trance of fevered zealously

Badders123 · 22/03/2017 07:46

Oh dear.
I'm an atheist too.
Salem like witch burnings commence
^ only half joking 😞

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 07:46

It's a strange world when emoji swapping passes as debate.

Imjustapoorboy · 22/03/2017 07:52

If you think logically about fundlementalism it is where rationality is removed from debate. It is belief before reason and compassion.

Btw ardent atheists can also be fundlementalit's. It is a mind set. Think a little harder you might understand

Badders123 · 22/03/2017 07:53

It's the new world ghost.
The new Albion!
I shall be spending next weds quietly and alone thinking about how I can help my community once this shit show really starts to bite - which of course it hasnt yet.
Reminds me of trump being told last week his policies will hurt those who voted for him the most...
"Oh, I know"
Some brexiters have a nasty shock coming.

Badders123 · 22/03/2017 07:54

Not sure I'm an ardent anything tbh....
Sounds like to much effort 😀

Badders123 · 22/03/2017 07:55

Actually I take that back...
I'm an ardent game of thrones fan.

SemiPermanent · 22/03/2017 07:59

Don't worry Infinite, the thread hasn't been taken over.

I suspect many Leavers on here are just allowing posters some space, to continue their move through the 5 stages.

We saw anger the other night - they seem to be on 'bargaining' now.
Depression will probs take full flight some time after next Weds, then it's just a waiting game until they accept Brexit is a reality & they become rational once more.

It's fascinating to watch.
