Bear has kindly set up another (non-pub) thread, so that leaves this one free for the Brexiteers!!!

Good speech by Theresa May today - onwards to Brexit 🍻🇬🇧

user I’m not getting into yet another argument in here but you do have double standards

You said to me Please have the decency to read my posts in full, and not presume my ideas

But only a few posts earlier you openly admitted you don’t bother reading most of what me, surfer and faith post

Apart from anything else I genuinely find your posts extremely difficult to read

  • you create a new line for every single sentence
  • there are no spaces between lines and no paragraphs
  • you frequently highlight sentences in bold, presumably to emphasise a point but bolding comments is generally accepted as highlighting quotes from other posters
  • your posts are littered with self depreciating comments about his uneducated you are

Posters are happy to engage but when you isn’t everyone reads every word you say, admit you do t read what others write and make virtually illegible posts, it becomes very difficult

🍾 sweetie?
😂

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 06/03/2018 12:00

Surfer Darling!!

Don't mind if I do! 🥂 🍾

(That picture is the epitome of me & my best mate btw 😍 - I always aspire to be Patsy, but I think I'm the Eddie in the relationship tbh 😧)

Agnes - yes of course you can but three times in 2/3 weeks is a bit much when really not a lot has changed. Anyway just my opinion and am not going to bang on about it anymore.

I’m in the office (supposedly workingBlush) and it’s now lunch time so I am off for a glass of boly and a fagSmile.

Cupofteaandtoilet · 06/03/2018 12:07

Sooooo... Have we discussed the USA steel tariffs? When I used to visit these threads, many moons ago, a lot of Leave supporters were also Trump supporters.Is this still the case?

LondonMum8 · 06/03/2018 12:12

Only the ones who don't mind a bit of abuse.

user1471450935 · 06/03/2018 12:17

I going to lurk
BUT bear,
I said when you are replying to surferjet and faith, I don't read your posts and verse versa, why because all three of you wasted 4 fucking pages arguing over the same thing. I may as well jumped all 4.
You believe we shouldn't leave, we will end up with BINO and started numerous, 100's of threads all over mumsnet saying so or soft brexit.
Surferjet and Faith disagree, some would say they want the EU to fail, they may disagree.
So why would I need to read every bloody Brexit Arms thread and post to know any of your views, you all have numerous times been asked to stop attacking each other, often my each other and earlier in this thread by me and others
Your all like broken records, I don't need to read it , you three never change. Sad

AgnesSkinner · 06/03/2018 12:18

time4 I sort of see your point, but plenty of people thrash out different ideas before settling on something.

Lordy, I’ve wasted so many hours of my life in management meetings Smile

surferjet · 06/03/2018 12:22

I was pleased Trump won yes. Not because I agree with him, but because I can’t stand Hilary Clinton.
I’ve often wondered though, how do you go from Obama to Trump? What went so wrong?
Obama must be in a constant daze over it.
But the world is changing & people are fed up with hand wringing liberals I guess.

frumpety · 06/03/2018 12:29

Well it is a pub thread .......

frumpety · 06/03/2018 12:31

What's wrong with being liberal?

Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality and international cooperation.

Sounds perfectly reasonable, even admirable, to me.

frumpety · 06/03/2018 12:33

This is possibly a more honest picture Grin

user1471450935 · 06/03/2018 12:35

Time4,
How have I changed sides 3 times in a fortnight please.
Here's my history
Researched, limited by my education, for months before referendum
chose remain, campaigned and voted for it
Over next 18 months decided we where leaving, so unlike many on here accepted and try to find positives, ended on here.
believed government/brexitter's line we had to have hard brexitter
But then met TalkinPeace and through my own research, found out, with help from other's, there is a third way, That has been my choice since 2/3/16
I was always brought up to believe it is the bigger person who can admit they where wrong, listen, learn and accept it and change.
I have done that, so moved major once, then look at that's options and chose my preferred option.
At least I am honest enough to admit it.
Plus polite enough to apologise if wrong and never insult people.
I may come from two of the roughest estates in East Hull originally and lived on FSM, but I was taught to treat people with respect and dignity, who ever they where. Maybe if every one in rl and on the internet followed that, we wouldn't have had the death of a MP and the rest getting death threats

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 06/03/2018 12:36

lol frumpety - I'm sure it's not! I do heart the gold jumpsuit though 😂😂

frumpety · 06/03/2018 12:39

This is what I would look like though

^I was pleased Trump won yes. Not because I agree with him, but because I can’t stand Hilary Clinton.

Obama must be in a constant daze over it. ^

(a) Obama could not stand again
(b) The Democrats got lazy and stuck with Hillary even though she was a weak candidate
(c) The Republicans put up absolutely shit identikit candidates and the comedy one slipped through (a bit like Labour and Corbyn)

Trump is damaging the reputation of the USA (and the GOP) for ever.
Hopefully he will be fully hamstrung at the mid terms
and BOTH parties will work on finding decent candidates for the next election.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 06/03/2018 12:41

Either of these could be me after a night out... 😳

Steel tariffs, seem to upset most of world.
Canada and Mexico certainly not happy, against NAFTA
China threatening not to stand by, (trade war?)
Can't see Europe standing by either and today it seems he has upset the bulk of the Republican party.
That's all just from news/paper coverage.
I personally was more for Bernie Sanders, myself thought he was the Democrat's Trump.

frumpety · 06/03/2018 12:47

I don't know why User but after reading your posts I always end up with an image of you in my head, staring wistfully across the wilds of Holderness.

Summat like this ....

Nowy tends, frumpety. Nowy tends.

(My Ned Stark impression)
