What a sad loser
Not a drop of petulant, oversensitive, safe space echo chamber snowflakery at my end.

Ask [MENTION=1200]Harry Wilson's tackle[/MENTION] yourself, he presses view post and reads the posts he is pretending to ignore anyway,
Don’t expect an answer though whilst he is ignoring you, unless he enters clown mode.
Think you will find we think its funny as it simply means you are fed up with seeing you are wrong and incapable of debating.
You didn’t ignore me though, you kept reading my posts and even replied to some of them whilst pretending you were ignoring me. Which is sort of the opposite of ignore- and obviously a bit daft if you are pretending to ignore someone.
I am not ignoring your posts but I do find many of them generally offensive and/or repetitive. Whatever you think about Brexit, can't you make out your case without resorting to vitriol, even if you feel others are setting you a bad example? It doesn't win friends or influence people you know.......
*** cough *** - it's hardly like Clamp, Watford Zero, HWT and Mental haven't done exactly the same style of posting now is it ?

i am not interested in winning friends amongst people that repeatedly post uninformed remainer rubbish, or refer to Leave voters as thick xenophobic little Englander racists for simply wanting to leave a political union and who want to ignore a democratic vote by trying to stop us from leaving. Hope that helps.
HWT is right! it’s truly remarkable how enervated they get when you put them on ignore. Look at that raft of hissy fits! How extraordinary.

I don’t disagree that it was designed to perform differently, or certainly not to the excess it is today. However, it is rare for Greenpeace and the tax payers alliance to be on the same political page, but on CAP they are.
Greenpeace chief scientist Doug Parr told BBC News: "The subsidy system is utterly broken. We need public money spent on farming to be offering demonstrable public benefits."
The Taxpayers' Alliance added: "Farmers should be put on notice. Taxpayers shouldn't be handing out what are effectively land subsidies, often to extremely wealthy individuals."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37493956
As a start, millionaire landowners should not get ANY money, including the Queen, it should be means tested. CAP represents 40% of the EU budget, it is huge, and it should correspondingly dominate nearly half of the debates we have on Brexit.
The rich and powerful know this arrangement is indefensible and reform needs farmers in 27 other countries to agree, it’s simply not going to happen is it, even pro EU zealot Blair tried and failed.
So in the face of industrial scale piss take of the poor, what is the socialist on the Clapham omnibus to do?

No help.
There may be 'uninformed remainer rubbish' to use your phraseology; there is also 'uniformed leaver rubbish'.
There are also people who genuinely feel that the 2016 referendum led to an uninformed response and that in the light of greater knowledge we should check what the people of this country feel we should do. Note we are asking for ratification from the people of our country, not any one else.
It is far from ideal but should be considered carefully as one possible means of shifting the toxic logjam rather than deliberately undermining democracy. The earlier one was too tarnished and uninformed and I challenge you to come up with any other idea that will bring perfectly reasonable people with conflicting views back together.....

It's hilarious!
They're the same people who would use the term 'snowflake' yet they seem genuinely traumatised by being put on the ignore list of someone they've never met on a Brighton & Hove Albion football forum on the internet.

Excellent, excellent. I particularly like the way you have added 'extreme blinkered' to your standard epithet. Creative stuff indeed, particularly given the fact that even according to even your favoured opinion poll there now seem to be getting on for 15 million voters to whom it applies. According to the poll I saw this week a majority of all voters, getting on for 25m people, favour a further consultation.
The surreal concept of a majority of voters being marked out as undemocratic extremists is an interesting one but you stick with it.

Belle might think that A I is a wonderful thing but it will cause massive change and upheaval in many industries. Once driverless cars have been sorted out you can wave goodbye to hundreds of thousands of driving jobs.
Also hundreds of thousands of supermarket jobs going once Amazon have sorted any glitches in their automated shops. The future may be bright but not for those at the bottom of the pyramid.
The Referendum did not lend its self to a first past the post decision as the question was so polarising,
The Government has failed, Politicians in general are totaly divided, there is no prospect of a resolution that will satisfy everyone in any form.
This needs to go back to the public through a people's vote with all the options on the ballot paper the vote should be proportional representation using the transferable voting system.
The problem from the start was Brexitees took no heed of Remainers views with statements like Brexit means Brexit, remain lost and they just need to get over it and calling all those with other views as Remoners, at least transferable vote would mean all views are taken into account

It's almost as though we go around calling people 'pricks' we get that angry
You know you can mean something nonchalantly, dismissively. “He’s a bit of a prick”. Not angry, just descriptive.

I was staunchly pro EU but I'm walking more and more towards the fence recently, I think joining EFTA would be a good compromise.
We just need this sorted out soon.

Maybe because people are getting fed up with the squabbling. I know many remainer's who now just want the deal, any deal. The whole process has now basically bored people off.
