The remainers aren't very humble here either, are they.

You make a valid point, catch them out or just plain wind them up and they scuttle off until the Guardian produces another article to bash us with. Grin Grin Grin

Not everyone who voted leave is racist.

But everyone sat on plastic chairs in their front garden on a bank holiday voted leave.

This one even better, surprised you didn't post it Tighty(smiley face)?


Almost like he has been reading here.....


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/08/24/rage-remainers-will-awesome-brexit-isnt-disaster-praying/

Read this yesterday. Good piece I thought.

'there is not only the doing down of Britain and the bigging up of the EU. There is almost pornographic catastrophism and now barely disguised vengeance' .

 Long words but echo my feelings about the collaborators

I think the word collaborators is objectionable and inappropriate. Expected better of you. Its lazy and facile.

The EU are not an enemy and language harking back to wartime sums up how leavers have dramatically misunderstood the EU throughout.

Next you will be hosting a street party in 1950s fancy dresswith Union Jack bunting and calling remainers quislings.

Calm down dearie,   I find your language, calling my language objectionable and inappropriate, to be objectionable and inappropriate - bit circular and your offence at the English language means precisely nothing

Collaboration - working with others towards a common goal, the action of working with someone to produce something (e.g an outcome) - it's a perfectly appropriate use of the word.

Remainers aren't quislings yet though I'm sure some aspire to be

embarrassing, you know exactly what the connotations of that word are.

No need for connotations, some are straight up traitors to democracy, nothing short of it.....Phillip Hammond seems a prime example.

Good morning

The former Chairman of the Conservative Party and Chancellor of Oxford Uni sees it differently. He has some decent credentials for knowing what democracy and representative democracy are:

Grandiose titles, but Chris Patten was nothing more.

It's quite a laughable angle. If we decide to ignore democracy and don't leave the EU, that is more akin to the sort of countries he is referring to.

To be fair, our much admired and copied version of democracy is more complex than the view that the wishes of 52% of  voters should be taken to validate extreme actions.
OTOH a government led by the party of which Patten was once chairman did ask the people to make a choice. They told us that they would act on our preference. That the decision was ours. They advised us to vote Remain, and backed that advice with tales of unspeakable misery if we didn’t take it.
Besides which, Patten is a lifelong europhile who probably has a pension from the EU to go with the one he gets from Westminster, not really an unbiased view is it?

In other big news, opposition MPs have agreed that they will continue to try and stop Brexit.

Impossible for some people to post one though, even though they try to big up the writer. Even though they fundamentally oppose them as a political party member, it suits the agenda and narrative to highlight their status for these purposes eh.
