Looking for some lighter brexit relief by fellow leavers... Every thread I've glanced at seems to be dominated by renainers?

Is there any space for leaver on here?

Just interested... I wanted to chat...

Unless what jas?

It would be nice, if for example, someone who hopes that with higher unemployment benefits will be increased could offer some evidence of that being likely to happen. So far all the evidence we have seen has been to the contrary.

The Tories are now hoping to bribe some public sector workers with pay rises. Big deal - the rises will come from existing budgets, which have already been cut to the bone. If it had been new money it might have been different, although it would still be difficult not to see it as a cynical ploy to buy votes.

I'd love to hear your lighter Brexit offering. Seriously, I would. What is it?

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 19:35

Yes pointy - I'm sure making fun of someone because their grammar and texting style isn't up to your 'higher standards' is fine by the obvious hypocritical and 'double standards' displayed on many of these threads.

Maybe the poster has EAL which makes many posters look quite xenophobic and racist; or maybe she/he has dyslexia or maybe just one of the many who slip through the 'net' in our educational system? And you laugh at them for that? Like I said, give your heads a 'wobble', you've lost your self-appointed 'higher ground' for that alone.

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 19:36

RTFT 33.

frumpety · 19/07/2019 19:45

Who said this was the 'only' chance to vote on leaving the EU ?

jasjas1973 · 19/07/2019 19:50

Now your making stuff up... no has had had ago at anyone for their grammar or posting style but for posting at best naive views.

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 19:57

Read through the thread jas - posters on here have certainly done that.

ContinuityError · 19/07/2019 19:59

Peregrina I’d like to think that May and Hammond have left a nice little public services pay bomb for Johnson to deal with, like a No 10 version of a Bullingdon Club initiation test. Hopefully hatched up over a couple of bottles of gin.

jasjas1973 · 19/07/2019 20:01

I'm not going back through but if you are correct, thats completely out of order.
Play ball not the woman or man!

Most people don't bother to much with spelling etc when posting, we aren't writting to our Gran.

Bearbehind · 19/07/2019 20:01

mummmy is possibly the most naive person I’ve ever ‘met’

She’s literally incapable of joining any dots and just sees her aspirations in isolation, without stopping for a second to think about repercussions.

The absolute garbage posted about prisoners and number of children people have, in the context of Brexit, is evidence of how detached from reality she is.

Why shouldn’t people call that kind of idiocy out?

Why should some people be prepared to put up with other people who have no clue about reality, deciding everyone’s future?

jasjas1973 · 19/07/2019 20:03

mummmy is possibly the most naive person I’ve ever ‘met’

Completely disagree, coppersulphate deserves that accolade lol!

jasjas1973 · 19/07/2019 20:04

So much so you have to wonder if its possible to have two RL people that naive lol!

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 20:05

Earlier today, when I read clerc's first deleted post I thought whoa! too far below the belt, but didn't do anything because I actually gave his fellow posters the benefit of the doubt, that at least one of you would call him out on it - being all the educated, well-informed people you aver to be. But none of you did, just carried on your diatribes at mummy like dogs with a bone. So I reported it.

The second deleted post I did nothing - didn't have to - MN did that themselves.

derxa · 19/07/2019 20:19

The second deleted post I did nothing - didn't have to - MN did that themselves. I reported that one due to disgust.

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 20:32

Yay...thank goodness I wasn't the only one derxa. It seems that with all the 'emotions' running high, that many are losing sight of themselves, forgetting who they are, turning into 'The Mob'.

Ok - here's an idea for the UK, irrespective of Brexit and in the spirit of the OP. Why don't we reconfigure some of those disused industrial buildings into plastic recyling factories. Instead of shipping it out, lets keep it here and do that ourselves, using clean technology. Let's start this in our most deprived areas.

jasjas1973 · 19/07/2019 20:34

So, 2 posts deleted out of almost 700? not good but lets keep it in perspective.

1tisILeClerc · 19/07/2019 20:36

However none of the issues I asked about received any answers.
We are still waiting to hear what 'leavers' think they have won and how BoJo will manage to conjure up 17.4 Million slightly different versions of it.
Getting my posts deleted or even being banned from MN entirely won't make the 'Brexit experience' any more pleasant for anyone.
It is probably getting a bit late now since the 'democratic' part of the process has been passed, unless a second referendum is called so in a way we are all just waiting for the train crash to happen.

jasjas1973 · 19/07/2019 20:41

*Yes terrible that the UK boasts its clean green credentials by outsourcing manufacturing and shipping its rubbish overseas where much of it ends up in the ocean.

Much of the effort devoted to brexit could have been done to fix this if just an extra 650k leavers had voted remain! it was really that close and why it has failed to be implemented.

I'm not sure that shipping rubbish only to deprived areas (for any reason) is exactly the right thing to do....... should be treated regionally: to avoid transport pollution and to keep things local to the communities that generate this rubbish, gives an incentive to cut down perhaps?

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 20:57

Clerc - and I say this with more respect than you deserve - you are asking the mirror. You are expecting that the basis for all thought is, and should be, like yours. Obviously you are a well travelled man that has made his home in his later years and quite content with his own 'lot' and probably of at least average intelligence.

Yes, mummys posts have been 'simplistic' in their view and style but it is and has been so foolish to deny their validity. I'm not here to defend mummy, as frankly I think he/she shows a lot of resilience and backbone in the face of such 'bullying' from the allegedly better equipped.

jas - agree it should be regional - I'd welcome and do plan to suggest such a facility in my local area and I'd be willing to work in it too. I'm not even close to suggesting we should ship rubbish to the poor areas.

My other suggestion would be that everyone in the UK dials down their expectations, I'd actually suggest that worldwide too, and it strikes me that posters/people such as mummy are better equipped to do that than most on here.

Dapplegrey · 19/07/2019 20:59

Now your making stuff up... no has had had ago at anyone for their grammar or posting style but for posting at best naive views.

Haven’t they, Jasjas?

Here are a few:

Are you from the UK, @mummmy2017 . That doesn't sound like a statement from someone who regularly speaks English.

I think mummy just struggles in general, with grammar, critical thinking, economics. Just a repeater of soundbites

Why is your grammar so terrible, mummy?

But bots usually try to have at least a modicum of coherence. Mummy seems to be simply hard of thinking.

The grammar is appalling as well.

CardinalSin · 19/07/2019 21:07

I don't know about EAL or dyslexia - frankly she just comes across as rather thick...

pointythings · 19/07/2019 21:13

I don't think I've pulled mummmy up on grammar or spelling - but on naivete, yes, definitely. Faith won't make Brexit a success. Believing change is of necessity going to be good won't make it so. Abrogating all responsibility for the consequences of supporting No Deal 'because the politicians are paid to sort it out' is worse than naive - it's wishing poverty, joblessness and destitution on many. That kind of soundbite thinking is what got us here in the first place.

mummmy2017 · 19/07/2019 21:13

I failed English along time ago ..
Apart from here or Facebook most people don't write very much if they work in arts or maths based...
Thanks for reporting, but it is water off a ducks back, in a way I am just as bad as
I know what I say annoys this lot, mostly because lots of it is true and goes so against the views they want to hear.
I just don't see how we can plan, when so much is unknown.
When nothing is settled.
Yet any hope of better is smashed down , because it is simply not allowed....

HateIsNotGood · 19/07/2019 21:14

Ahem....taps fingers...waiting for someone to have a word with a recent poster.....
