[Politics] Brexit

[Buzzer]

the leave supporters have displayed a total absence of any vision for the future and a total absence of the mental bandwidth needed to process the complexity of the process they have initiated.

Translation: same old, same old about leave voters being thick.

...You see nothing but clichés, generalisations...

Have you listened to yourself lately?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

In your case from Deutschland? Perhaps you can tell us exactly how you will be 'fighting back'?

Perhaps you can tell us the plans for Brexit first? I think this is much more pressing and important than the thoughts of an individual in another country....wouldn't you agree?

PS I have significant interests in the UK...it's just I prefer not to live there.

Once again Brendan O'Neill hits the nail well and truly on the head.

 

[Is it PotG?]

It remains (excuse the pun) that many remaniacs cannot try to make a point of any nature without appearing quite patronising.

Probably through meaningless online polls and scaremongering through the media, a million different opinions, information overload. Outside everyone gets on with their day to day life.

Not now though, I prefer to take it easy when it's the warmer months.

Go outside and get some fresh air, all of us.

Previously mocks another poster for avoiding answering tricky questions and also fails to see the irony in his 1000th post in this thread is to announce that his thoughts on Brexit aren't so important because he lives in another country. Way to go.

You would think that the leavers would be happy now they have got their way, and started our countries journey into the unknown, just as they wanted. Many seem to be fairly angry individuals still

Probably one of the most tragic fortnight's the UK has seen in many, many a year. We will look back at this period and wonder how it all got so crazy.

Maybe you should read through all the posts posted today and then re-assess your analysis of exactly which side of the leave/remain argument has the angry ones!

I was thinking that. The "Love Europe, Hate the EU" tag being a fine example.

Already did.

Already did.

.....and?

I have never used words like thick or stupid as but I would say that many are ill-informed.
Have you listened to yourself lately?

If you look at my previous posts I have tried to actually explain in some (probably too much) detail the impact it is having on one area; it is in such detail that the reality will lie.

Maybe I live in a very rarified virtual world but my experience is that most of us have moved through shock, depression and the real anger has only just started .

We always suspected that those managing this in government were mediocre, cynical opportunists but the performance this week has shown that they possess no moral compass and minimal amounts of actual tactical awareness or basic competence.

As they move from being self-proclaimed rebels to the new ‘establishment’ the leave supporters have displayed a total absence of any vision for the future and a total absence of the mental bandwidth needed to process the complexity of the process they have initiated. You see nothing but clichés, generalisations and a desperate search for a combative headline to mask the mess they have created.

We are angry that these people have gambled our children’s future; that many still treat this like a game and that the reputation of this country is plummeting.

A big fat THIS! Nicely articulated.

I find you a little angry

The EU's negotiation guidelines are starting to emerge - http://news.sky.com/story/european-union-to-reveal-its-brexit-negotiating-approach-10818836

Future trade deal talks can take place if 'sufficient progress' has been made on the divorce.

The EU also wants a transitional deal post 2019, before any new deal kicks in, but subject to EU rules - budget contributions and remaining under the jurisdiction of the ECJ. We know how important freedom from the tyranny of The ECJ is for Brexit voters and the editor of The Daily Mail, so that option is surely a non-starter.
