[Politics] Brexit

[Green Cross Code Man]

She’s good, clearly a remainer

I don't care which way she voted, she is a good and clear reporter and not benighted with a dreadful regional accent. I enjoy her analysis.

I guess the BBC try to avoid employing racist thickos.

Is that satire?

 

[El Presidente]

Yes. This is what I think every time he reports.

Ahhh...memories of Thursday nights.

The last time I saw someone use 'retard' was by a leaver.

So you missed both Plooks and Lever using it this week ? And then trying to justify it !

I like her and Katya Adler as they seem to have a certain gravitas and obviously know their stuff. However I was very surprised when I started listening to the Brexit podcast recently. Underneath it all they are a just a couple of fun loving playful girls who like a good laugh, which makes them even more likeable.

Yeah Laura and katya. Very balanced and unbiased reporters. Not. BBC the balanced view? Yeah ok. Just think we're forced to pay for that too.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I quite like Laura's style. Momentum hate her so she must be doing something right.

 

[GT49er]

What absolute nonsense.

The idea that you cannot have an opinion on politics if you work for the BBC is ludicrous. You just have to ensure that your reporting doesn't display it. And her reporting does not. .

To spell it out in words of one syllable, yes it does.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I don't particularly like her. I prefer Channel 4 and Jon Snow.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I think she has improved in her attempts to disguise her well-known Tory sympathies but I don't see much bias towards remain.

Is that for your even more pro remain dose of views?

 

[Lever]

There you go again; you really must try a bit harder Westdene Seagull. When using the term emotional 'retards', I was referring to people on both sides of the argument who lack the ability to recognise the sensibilities of opposing posters.
Sorry if you took the slang, obviously offensive meaning and cited it as an insult to leave voters..... it wasn't meant that way so do stop trying to weaponise your misreadings.
I go back to my earlier suggestion - make out your case as persuasively as you can and stop cogitating over pointless insults.

I found it. They said removing freedom of movement is retarded. Not the best phrase to use, and you ended up becoming a snowflake over it (or was it fake outrage?). But, they didn't actually call anyone a retard.

Official: It's all over.

Probably the most sensible read in this thread.

Appreciate not all are fans but I’m curious what people think about the CONTENT of what he’s saying. I don’t think it’s what either side might expect from this video, Leave or Remain.

 

[portslade seagull]

I honestly couldn't care less mate. I was just pointing out that whenever I read that saddo term, I automatically ignore anything else the person has posted. Because they make themselves sound about four years old.

But you've just read it and replied to it.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This is the lady who started the petition. Since when has starting a petition become a life-threatening situation? Is no one allowed a different opinion in this country now, without being threatened?

Yes, your point?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Seems obvious to me with the utter shambles that May has made of this, that a second poll is needed. I say this not as a remainer, but at the time of the poll, a reluctant leaver, for a number of reasons that don't really matter now. In my opinion, there should be 3 options. No deal, May's deal or no Brexit. Perhaps a 4th option, EFTA membership. All clearly communicated the practical consequences of each beforehand. Sadly whatever happens there are going to be 20% approx hardline on either side who would never accept either option 1 or 3. We are riven as a nation

Absolutely and utterly this. Should have been a version of this in the original ballot (no deal, an unknown deal that I, silky Dave Cameron, will negociate, or no Brexit). Wonder how well that would have gone...

Why is it always Brexit supporters who are threatening (or actioning) violence?

It's like Will Self said the other week. Not all Leave voters are racist, bigoted morons* but all people who are racist, bigoted morons voted Leave.

And that's true.

*Some good friends of mine voted Leave and they are neither racist, bigoted or morons. Just mistaken. Before any **** jumps to the wrong conclusions.

Remain would have won by a MASSIVE landslide. Of course.

As an aside, why isn't Cameron getting death threats when people like Anna Soubry and someone who started a petition are?

Oh yeah, because most people who voted to remain aren't BELLENDS.
