And on Facebook there are still remainers hurling insults at what they call gammons. And making the extraordinary assumption that those who voted for Brexit are also climate change and holocaust deniers. Says rather more about their intelligence than that of the people they're attacking!
For balance, the Leavers on Twitter today are worse than ever today with their absolute nastiness.

I wasn’t going to mention it, as it’s nothing to do with this forum, and Social Media is sniffed at here.

I wasn’t even going to post at all today, so you could all enjoy your day, but I was surprised that ‘moaning’ is still ongoing.

I've stayed away from it all as well Gill. The sight a that smug, self important slime ball Farage is enough to put me off. However I did enjoy watching Ed Balls on TV last night, it's worth watching to see Ed's face when one of those extreme right politicos says something patently outrageous.

It is a good program isn’t it Frank.

I always like to watch things from an alternative viewpoint.
Thank God we have no far right influences in our country.
Probably the only good thing about first past the post system is that it can keep extremists on the fringes were they belong.
Unfortunately I include the current Labour set up in that.

I know the feeling Frank. Bear in mind we have had to put up with that smug and arrogant little oik Bercow and his irritating "Order, orderrrrrrrrrrrrr" every week for the past 10 years or so.

Appears the message is getting through
Lessons need to be learnt from Brexit, according to Europe's chief negotiator Michel Barnier.

He told the BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler that the EU needs to listen to the people of Europe more closely in the future.
And Macron has been saying something similar too. Too little too late. If when we voted to leave they'd recognised there was a problem their end I'm sure they could have made changes to encourage us to think again. But no. Three years ago they couldn't see there was anything wrong with the wonderful EU project.

Unfortunately there are millions who still think the EU is the answer to all their prayers.
Maybe we could learn something from the Chinese and set up some re education camps.😉

As Brexit is now a "done deal" this topic has run its course.

We should now start a new page here - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8158
