Finally, we're discussing trade!

Continuity Remain? Today is the first time I've heard that expression, what does it mean? The only other context I've heard "Continuity" in relation to a group is with the IRA, is this what you mean?

You've argued very well up to this point, I would have thought that this was beneath you.




The only one misquoting him is you. The original link I provided says, and the quote by him is, "no one is threatening our place in the single market".




It's not nuanced at all, you've reduced the argument to a specificity of Vote Leave rather than the Leave campaign, which included many other prominent leave supporters.

As independently as I can find out (there are many claims either way dating before the referendum), the claim is "half true":

It's a good thing the Norway option is the will of the people, though (ie the majority of all voters), otherwise we might be discounting it:

Continuity Remain is of course an IRA reference, and use of the term should be seen with the context of the hard right spectrum that runs from the Mail and Telegraph's use of inflammatory language to the murder of Jo Cox.

Absolute bollux. It’s used across the mainstream media, not only by the right wing press. Where’s your evidence?

Evidence? A bit of common sense and analysis is all that is needed.

Both of which you appear to lack.

Yeah yeah.

Are you saying that the similarity between the terms 'Continuity IRA' and 'Continuity Remain' is coincidental?

[BlasterBates]

It is similar to Climate Deniers and it is most definitely a reference to the IRA.

I personally don't have a problem admitting to being either a Climate Denier or a Continuity Remoaner. It means you're winning the argument.

I would’ve thought that were obvious from the “absolute bollux”. It’s an appropriately derogatory term for the BAU Remain campaign, which grew from the ashes of the Remain campaign. I see no overlap between the etymology of the two terms but, whatever, I’m not calling Remainers a bunch of Irish terrorists, FFS.

Interesting, and curious, that you’re in both of these camps, I think.

You think it is a coincidence!? You are a fool or a liar.
