[Politics] Brexit

[Buzzer]

This just about sums up for me the oh-so-smug tw@ts on here who claim to be socialist and supporting the common man but sneer at old boys like this, call them thick, that they don't deserve the same voting rights as the self-proclaimed urban sophisticates and he'll be dead soon so why bother worrying about what he wants?

You know who you are and shame on you, you pathetic hypocrites.

Everyone knows there's no such thing as a money tree. Well, apart from the evergreen 'Pick off £1billion to buy some DUP votes' cash tree, that one is thriving.

Drop in the ocean compared to Corbyns I'm afraid

Firstly, I voted to stay.

Secondly, this research is utter bollocks and suggests that the working classes, who have been shafted for years, don't have the right to stick two fingers up at the establishment because they are somehow inferior.

The only education lacking was honest knowledge and understanding of the ramifications of voting out. That was the government's fault. Even then, given how corrupt and undemocratic the EU is, I'm not surprised people wanted out.

I still say we should have remained. But we were voted out. That's it. Out. But we do need to be sensible about are relationship with the EU from now on. The wrong decision could be too costly.

It's a wonder you can read it

This. It's like that old t-shirt "Parents - take advantage of your teenagers whilst they still KNOW EVERYTHING!" Students and academics have got to be the most annoying demographic going. If I could travel back in time, I'd punch myself. And if anything, they've got worse because been wrapped in cotton wool all the way through the education system so they really do believe they know everything. Here's a classic from University Challenge:

Bamber Gascoigne: "What was Gandhi's first name?"
Contestant: "Goosey?"

Sake...

You're actually going a bit mad on here, aren't you? Your right-wing views are well known (although this issue is not about traditional left-right, as we all know) but try to keep some semblance of self-control.

We are allowed to discuss things on here without being abused by you. Or are we?

I don't have a problem with the result of the vote - that's democracy for you (although I wonder how leavers can claim that having a second vote on the Brexit deal is somehow undemocratic. Surely if you believe in democracy in one instance, you should believe in it again.)

What I do disagree with is the government's decision to allow a major constitutional change to be decided on a simple majority of those voting, rather than a majority of those eligible, or a two-thirds majority, as almost every other body in the world would insist on. But as has been said, the Remain side were complacent and also ignorant of opinion beyond their own bubbles.

Touched a nerve, did I? Shame.

Maybe you need to calm down.

I find smugness irritating. I'm funny like that.

Well said, mate.

And I'm one of those people who doesn't let the board wannabe bully get away with it. I'm funny like that.

 

[GreersElbow]

It's done they lost get over it

It's attitudes like this that really piss me off. The most significant vote in decades, and people are acting like it's a game.

Oh, you live in Lincolnshire - no wonders.

No matey. You just don't like people pointing out a few home truths.

It appears you think you have a monopoly on 'truth', but obviously you don't. No one does.

 

[sir albion]

Are you suggesting that thickies don't go to university?

The thickies are the university students as they have zero life experience and reading a few books makes them highly experienced apparently.I suggest there's to much brainwashing going on in universities these days from key liberal leaders and co.

 

[Live by the sea]

If you have done some extensive research and this was the outcome then yes, yes you could.

I'm guessing you voted Brexit then?

Nope I voted to stay in. Always voted labour before it was highjacked by marxists

 

[GreersElbow]

No matey. You just don't like people pointing out a few home truths.

The home truth that people were duped by the establishment?

Gove, Farage and Johnson....all career politicians....grossly lied about the benefits of leaving and then have had literally nothing worth of note to say about Brexit other than slating the EU.

The reality is simple. We're leaving the world's largest trading bloc with absolutely no ****ing clue what we're going to do afterwards. Desperately clinging onto a trade deal with the US because Trump said he'd give us one. That's great, but the US was already a large trading partner.

We're targeting the Argies, previously one of our largest trading partners and guess what's going to come up in negotiations. You named it, the sovereignty of the Falklands. Like Gibraltar, their sovereignty will be used as a pawn between the two nations. We won't have the backing of anyone in the negotiations.

We've got our 'sovereignty', but the damage will be greater than a bit of self 'pride'. I won't even mention the European Communities act.
