Where have all the Brexiters gone?

Just that really. 52% voted to leave. I know Mumsnet isn't completely representative of the electorate but you would expect at least a few people to be banging the Brexit drum. The ones that were quite vocal seem to have lost their voice. Perhaps they're just bored with the whole thing but their silence really is deafening.

How about you just get off his back & stop making yourself look like someone desperate for an argument.
& you lot wonder why we all left?

Why aren't Remainers doing more to change the minds of honest to goodness Brexit voters?

Bearbehind · 12/10/2017 14:00

why aren't Remainers doing more to change the minds of honest to goodness Brexit voters?

Because Leavers are generally divided into 2 camps

  • surfers crowd who genuinely don't give a shit what happens as long as we leave as they can afford to ride the storm, maybe even profit from it
  • those who are convinced nothing will change that adversely affects them, made up of a significant proportion of people who haven't realised Brexit was about more than just immigration

Nothing is going to convince the former and if the latter ignore all of the signs that we are not going to get our cake and eat it, there's no convincing them either.

When people start to personally feel the adverse affects then they might start questioning things, trouble is, it'll probably be too late b to then.

M4Dad · 12/10/2017 14:05

Bears,

Maybe the just care more about other things than money? I know that's a novel way of looking at things.

The thing is, all you Remainers seem to do run around MN screaming hysterically, surely there are better things to do with your time? Especially as you admit you can't change anyone's mind.

Aren't you wasting your time, utterly?

histinyhandsarefrozen · 12/10/2017 14:09

We are searching for brexit arguments that make sense.

unlike your bizarre 'we punched Kissinger in the face' one.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 12/10/2017 14:09

Still it seems to have won you lots of friends. Grin

surferjet · 12/10/2017 14:10

Thing is Bear there are winners & losers in every aspect of life, politics being the obvious one. When labour get in some people celebrate & some people cry - same with the Tories. No political decision is ever going to please everyone.

M4Dad · 12/10/2017 14:14

I find that most Remainers can't understand most Brexiteers purely on the basis that most Remainers don't really have any soul.

:)

Bearbehind · 12/10/2017 14:17

m4 do you really have to stop so low as to churn out such ridiculous, idealistic sound bites Hmm

surferjet · 12/10/2017 14:17

& I agree with M4Dad - why don’t you use your time more wisely? write to Theresa May or David Davis.
You’ve been hanging around this board for months now asking the same questions over & over.
Seriously - contact the peoole who can answer your questions, or go out & get drunk or something I dunno?

CardinalSin · 12/10/2017 14:20

"Thing is Bear there are winners & losers in every aspect of life"

Yes, and in this case the losers are the entire population of the UK (except for some elite disaster capitalists, obviously)

Quite why you are so happy about that is bizarre...

Bearbehind · 12/10/2017 14:21

Why would I ask TM or DD, they've got less of a clue than most people on here? Grin

The negiotitaions have been described as 'disturbingly deadlocked' today; I realise the don't give a shit crew won't care, but hopefully it will start to register with those who think we're going to get our own way, that we're really not.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 12/10/2017 14:21

I think there is definitely something in the arguement that for many brexiteers, facts, evidence, reason and statistics means nothing compared to that feeling in their heart that Britain can stand alone!

we won two world wars (completely on our own and without much suffering apparently) so we'll survive this. Rule Brittania!

M4Dad · 12/10/2017 14:22

do you really have to stop so low as to churn out such ridiculous, idealistic sound bites

Is it any worse than your haranguing of the same people for a year, asking the same things over and over again?

I know this website where you can get a Colour By Numbers picture of Claude Jauncker, would you like address? It would be a much, much better use of your time.

Bearbehind · 12/10/2017 14:28

m4 stop being a patronising, GF.

There is a logic in repeatedly asking whether a Leavers have ideas / answers to the problems we face.

Even if they didn't know after the vote, they surely should have some ideas now?

There's fuck all point in churning out ridiculous rhetoric, all it does is show you up as having no clue what you've unleashed.

M4Dad · 12/10/2017 14:31

m4 stop being a patronising, GF

Stop wasting everyone's time then.

Bearbehind · 12/10/2017 14:35

No one is asking you to be here or to post so stop wasting your own time by replying.

M4Dad · 12/10/2017 14:42

Good one!

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 12/10/2017 14:44

I have reported also M4

CardinalSin · 12/10/2017 14:50

I think you should report M4 quite frankly...

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 12/10/2017 14:56

I keep coming on these threads to read some of the well reasoned arguments for and against brexit

But by Christ are some of you are fucking childish

And i do mean some of the people who voted remain and some of the people who voted leave

The vast majority of you are completely unable to use the word some and manage to piss off just about everyone else

And please...leaver team, reinforcements Grin

Its pointless me trying to be educated by these threads...they just desecend to bickering and attempted one upmanship

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 12/10/2017 14:57

I think you should report M4 quite frankly...

Why?

Bearbehind · 12/10/2017 15:15

Thank you thread police rufus Hmm

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 12/10/2017 15:22

Oh did you think that was aimed at you bear?
