Why are all Brexiters cretins?

[Whorty]

Because if I labelled them as Bigots I am sure they would object

Definition of bigot. : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.

Isn't that also the definition of a Brexiter? Brexit is the religion they are devoted to, and anyone who does not follow this new religion is a traitor to the people. And many, many Brexiters are certainly intolerant of other ethnic or racial groups, this is obvious from their support of UKIP and that idiot Robinson.

And for the record, I think the far left under Corbyn are just as bigoted, it's not just the far right who enjoy this tag.

I would suggest that he feels it adds gravitas to his views.

I'm less interested in "gravitas" than the facts. I bet JRM thinks he has gravitas but he's a buffoon.

Well given that you seem to lump all people who voted Brexit into 1 box labelled cretin then you are using a single characteristic of a group of people to assume a number of other characteristics which may or may not be true.

Which would probably fall into a wider definition of bigotry.

But he's not lumped all of an ethnic or religious group into the Brexit cretin camp. Brexiters are a subset of a group, but you are right, this subset is mostly cretinous. Unless, as we suspect, Brexit is now a religion and all those who support it are religious zealots of Brexit .... then yes, you're right, he is a bigot to the Brexit religion. I'm afraid to admit I am too - does this mean you plan to sacrifice me and my kind on the alter of your lord leader JRM, and demi-god Bojo

I was listening into a conversation between two permie colleagues in the client site canteen today.

Permie colleague 1: 'My sister lives in the UK and her husband actually voted for Brexit.'
Permie colleague 2: 'Really? Why would he do that?'
Permie colleague 1: 'He's always been a ******* idiot.'
Permie colleague 2: 'Ahhh!'

So that's conclusive evidence that everyone who voted to leave is a ******* idiot, is it?

Did they then go on to talk about the new iPhone XR? You seem to have missed the important bits.

Oh dear.

If you say so, who are we to argue?

You're not a cretin because you want nothing to do with the future EU state, you fear a future EU state (that you want nothing to do with) because you're a cretin.

You have demonstrated that you're a cretin (and don't understand what QED means).

We'll get back to your issues later, this may take some time...
