It's actually people like Reg Dwight who is shedding his tears in the Guardian, because he lost.

The constant focus on complaining about 'evil remainers' says otherwise. The brexit side have been complaining and whining nonstop since before the referendum.

So would you if you was getting cheated out of your victory.

We don't ask for much in this World, but we expect our democratic vote to be implemented. Was it March we was supposed to leave?

how on earth does one know who the "brexit side" were before the referendum?

The only cheating with that victory was from the Leave campaign, which would’ve meant the vote would be nullified if it was a legally binding vote x

You're not being cheated, did it say on the referendum WHEN we would leave and HOW? No it did not, it simply asked if you wanted to leave.

It's no one's fault but your own for thinking that your expectations are the same as reality. We leave in October, you're not being cheated, you are simply impatient.

Probably, we all know how they do like their victim acts in the press.

I cannot quite believe that anyone would try and defend a view that categorises 17 million fellow brits as "stupid, imperialist English idiots'

Whilst people cannot wait to fire the word bigot around right left and center on Tibb here we have a classic case of what a bigot is

and we get people agreeing with him??

The ones who shout it the loudest are usually the biggest culprits and use it to hide their own prejudices.

You can't believe someone would defend another person's right to freedom of speech? Sounds about right.

If he said that he didn't consider himself a European idiot, you would not be making out that he was a bigot. Considering that he himself is English then he can't exactly be bigoted against himself. Stop clutching at your pearls when your pretend outrage is ultimately hypocritical.

Crimson Dynamo 31-05-2019 12:10 PM

as I said i cant quite believe anyone would defend a hateful comment as Mr John has made. His less than covert self-loathing is astonishing

It's not hate if it's aimed at the right people.

Where is he trying to stop it?

He just can't believe the double standards. Is what he said.

If you read his post, it does say.

The ones defending Reg for his insults to people who voted a certain way in a referendum. That's what I made of his post anyway.

Makes no sense. You can defend someone's right to their opinion without agreeing with it.

LT is displaying hypocrisy as he is the one usually defending freedom of speech but apparently doesn't afford the same courtesy to those whose views don't align with his own?

You defend plenty of hateful comments and actions, they just happen to come from people you like. Where was this outrage yesterday when I brought up Trump withdrawing healthcare from a sick child to take revenge on a family member? You clutch your pearls at Elton John calling people idiots but you explain away your fave willingly putting a child's life at risk for revenge? You need to sort out your priorities.

I defend his right to freedom of speech, I don't have to agree with what he said. I like that you're trying the self loathing angle now that the whole 'bigot' angle hasn't worked out so far.

Livia 31-05-2019 02:18 PM

Well he is qualified to say what an idiot is, takes one to know one. I have only four words in reply: sex party super injunction.

That 50% doesn't have time for Elton John on their looping playlist of "God Save The Queen", "Rule Britannia", and "Land of Hope and Glory". Surely.

Plus Scottish Brexiteers already have to find space in the schedule for a rendition of "Billy Boys".
