A referendum is one question, not a badge of authority to shut down ALL further discussion of any related issue, much as some seem to wish was the case. The same people who think that using the word "remoaner" is a good tactic to "embarrass" people into not sharing their opinions.

Or a badge to keep threatening the UK with, nor a repeating process until you get the result you want. Someone needs to explain all this to Nicola, not the one in the BB house, the other one.

Unsure why anyone would be so embarrassed by the word remoaner they wouldn't want to share an opinion. Sounds very thin skinned if true. At best it's a little rude, it's certainly softer and a lot more comical than the insults heaped on those of us who wanted to leave. I've seen far worse implied on this forum. I've been told in this very thread I'm not capable of debate.

I said that some people seem to THINK that it's a good tactic to shut people up... not that it actually IS a good tactic . I can't imagine it ever gets much reaction beyond a big ol' yawn.

That's not fair Dezzy, I would be wounded if I was told that I wasn't capable of debate.

Well you know I didn't want to mention what we have been called, why would I lower my standards?

They should'nt dish it out if they can't take it, you don't seem to object when it's the other way round - it's called bias.

Yes! How dare they have an opinion that doesn't match with yours! Only people who agree with you deserve an opinion! Everything else is a personal attack on you and is bias! Opposing opinions are a DISEASE.

Haven't you missed the point somewhat! If you can't handle opposing opinions to the point you lash out with snide comments such as 'bigot' and 'racist' you are hardly in a position to call others out on it when they respond in a similar vein - pot and kettle.
