Ok then. If they know better let them do it.
But they cant bc reality gets in the way. And so they get angry and lash out at remainers. Again.
Too late.

Dont blame remainers bc your dream was just that, only a dream. Take responsibility for your actions.
I'm neutral actually. I can see advandages and disadvantages to remaining or leaving. Reading here has put me a bit more on the leave side HERE because of the way they are treated.

Brexiteers - like Christians in the colosseum of TIBB. You can't simultaneously represent the will of the British people and wilt under the pressure of a few counterpoints.

I've actually made a lot of in depth appeals to the reason of brexit supporters, but the problem here is that it's not a discussion that ever takes place in good faith. I see lots of people posting evidence, statistics, and facts on the anti-brexit side, and I see meaningless phrases like will of the people, and very little information to back up the pro-brexit argument.

When people are happy to feast on slogans rather than facts, then it's no wonder you make your posts about posters rather than issues.

Not everyone is an in - depth discussion sort of person. I certainly can be - but I wouldn't even try here if I was definately pro - leave. It's too one - sided. I wouldn't fancy being bombarded with posts refuting my views and making me feel inferior, and feeling I have to spend hours debating all of them to make them understand my points, when really, nobody is going to change their minds anyway. I have better things to do with my time.

Well let's not call it a debate ...more a discussion.?
You spoke about your loss during the war..but paid no heed to those who lost loved ones by actions who are loyal to the crown.


Yes I am a voice..I'm A Boer..you have a very simular attitude to UVF who don't forget were armed by AWB

I've got a compromise.

We stay in the EU, but we're in charge and the EU parliament moves to the UK, and the people vote the top people into office. And the other countries send us billions of their money so we can dish it out.

Well excuse us for caring and protesting when the country is about to be wrecked!
We should just roll over right? And you claim to care about the irish peace process? Dont make me laugh! The best deal for the UK and peace in ireland is no brexit at all

There's always an excuse for you not to pay attention to something that derails your argument.

No deal is a disaster and one that will not benefit anyone who isn't an elite that's after a tax break. There's a reason why the pound keeps falling every time we take a step towards no deal, there's a reason why every analyst worth their salt is predicting the worst and why even Boris' own government have risk assessments painting a grim picture of what No Deal will entail.

There's very little point in trying to tell you anything because you've proven time and time again that you'll plug your ears to it.

Why does the single market (which is what we signed up for) need a flag, an anthem and an army?

Bc they have no good argument for leaving, that's why!

Their arguments dont stack up or are based on lies they were told.

Just by accident we found out for example that Kazanne, one of the leavers, thought uk owned all of ireland. People cant tell the difference between EU, single market and customs union.

How can you claim not to want no deal when you are painting all the analysts whose reputations rely on being correct to be apart of some 'biased media'?

When someone whose career revolves around making accurate predictions about the state of the economy warns against a disaster and when that view is shared among most economic experts from around the world, you listen to what they have to say. They know more than any of us and it's nothing but arrogance to brush their warnings aside because it's not something you want to hear. Are the government in on it too? Is the Yellowhammer report just part of 'Project Fear' too?

Everything that's come to pass so far has been predicted since 2016. Our economy is lurching every time No Deal becomes more of a possibility every expert is pretty much warning against the same thing. I like to live in the real world, I like to know what's coming so I can try to prepare for it, this isn't the work of biased media, all the 'doom and gloom' predictions will come to pass and no amount of hoping the grass is greener on the other side will change that.

The only way we'll make it through Brexit without triggering another recessions or worse, is by going with a deal and even that has it's own pitfalls considering the border situation.
