More reasons to boycott Wetherspoons

[Whorty]

And the ones who are 80?

Are you for real and genuinely this thick? You get upset when Brexiters are considered dim for not being able to see the lies from their masters, and how Brexit will be bad for them, and then you suggest 80 years olds were in the war and stormed the beaches of France.

Come on dude, take your shoes and socks off, get your fingers out, and do a little maths. Go on, try to work out how old those who are 80 today were during the second world war.

As for LondonManc who liked your post, FFS .... between you both, you really do show up the intelligence of Brexidiots. I despair, I really do.

A lot of businesses are run by raving brexiteers. Brexit is a right wing idealogy and businessmen are more that way inclined. You can't boycott goods and services because you don't like people's political views. That's not sensible or practical.

Wetherspoon is still amazing at serving (some) beers at low prices. However over time their choice has dwindled and it's now very difficult to get beer of adequate strength (ie 6%+). They have Innis & Gunn on tap. In Tesco it's 6.5%; in Wetherspoons it's about 4.6%. Even my village pub has a choice of ciders of 7-8.5% strength. Wetherspoons: all weak stuff.

That is truly shameful.

I liked the spirit of the post and I didn't vote Brexit and am neither for or against Brexit. That part I've made clear on here ever since the referendum in 2016.

I'm pro-Britain but not in the rabid Tommy Robinson way. I want what's best for the country, simple as that. I want to be proud of our country but it's rapidly turning to tulip. If Brexit is best for the country, great; if it isn't, then you've got to look at the politicians who failed to educate the voting masses as to why it isn't. Unfortunately they were too busy giving the BS warning that Brexit would cause World War 3.

Imagine someone from Germany / France of recent African decent walking into that place asking for a glass of Champagne.

A hate filled enclave.

But enough about your house....

Not true. That quote came from Boris, on the Leave side. But I do understand your general point.

The trap that you’re falling into is that you’re only holding the politicians to account for the negative side. This was provided often enough but was dismissed as “Project Fear” by the Leave side, who deliberately didn’t provide any costs or negative impacts of Brexit and only promised sunlight uplands and the EU knocking our door down to do a trade deal.

Let me rephrase your sentence:
If Brexit is best for the country, great; if it isn't, then you've got to look at the Leave politicians and campaigners who promised everything would be great but didn’t warn us of the costs involved.

But isn't it remarkable that the cretins appear to genuinely believe that:

The Leave campaign didn't use fear they had a much more positive message:

[BlasterBates]

If politicians hadn't warned about the consequences of Brexit they wouldn't have been doing their job.

They ran a good campaign but the British have been "brain washed" by the press, no campaign however brilliant can reverse decades of ingrained stupidty.

I'm in favour of Brexit because it gets the UK out of everyone's hair and we can all enjoy the spectacle from the comfort of our continental armchairs.

And the straight lies, remember.
