Uncle Tim promises cheap wine and beer after brexit.

Don't you mean overbearing and too big for his boots?

Problem is a Leylandii is more intelligent than Assgoo.

Stop mocking the afflicted. He thinks he's a genius, and as any snowflake will tell you, that's enough to make him a genius. He just needs his special safe place...

[vetran]

To be fair, I had you down as a plant, a sort of Leylandii (thick, and always wanting to be a bit bigger)

Some of these Brexiters are so overwhelmingly thick you'd think they were Remainer plants designed to make Brexit look bad

Without wishing to be rude - that argument can be used both ways - no one knows what the full impact of Brexit will be.

No, but those pedalling it as a good idea were saying there'd be £350 million a week for the NHS, we'd have free trade deals with the world, everyone would be begging to do business with us, and anyone who disagreed was just spreading fear.

You seem to be implying that if we stayed in the EU everything would be fine - in fact it would get better and better - but no one has any evidence to back that up.

You've gone from saying that something was implied, to extrapolating it to another level.

No one knows what the full impact will be, but if someone who supports staying in the EU asks a question, the responses are smilies or changing the subject. We can't get straight answers - even when asking something as simple as "what would you like?" or "what do you mean by..." or "how much is the tariff?"

Over two years have gone since the vote, and no one on the Brexit side has yet presented a positive, inclusive idea of the direction we should be going in, never mind the impact.

It is probably a good comparison, Brexit and religion. There is no evidence or explanation that Brexit will be a success and yet people just accept the bold claims. Plenty of people try to explain why Brexit could be bad and as a result they are dismissed as scaremongering.

There is no evidence or explanation for the existence of sky fairies and yet people just accept the bold claims. Plenty of people try to explain why sky fairies don't exist but they are just dismissed.

You're not dealing with isolated stupidity here. What we are seeing is half of humanity is incapable of questioning idealogies/religions.

The Euro is a bad idea, always said so. Having said which these states don't seem to be in a hurry to leave.
We had our cake and ate it - Maggie created the single market and negotiated a good deal, now you've ruined that.
In 10-20 years I suspect we'll have to go back into the EU - on their terms, which will probably involve adopting the Euro.

A shame many of the gammons will be dead by then, as I really want to see them squirm when that happens.

It is the awful realisation that we are at the mercy of half-wits. And will be for ever.

Yes, as always there is a natural order to things. The fact that, even by their own admission, Bremainers are further down the food chain than these half-wits tells you all you need to know.

It's a good theory. It would explain a lot.

However unfortunately the majority of Brexiteers still believe in the £350 million outright lie. Unfortunately the majority of Trump supporters still believe he is a valid person.

You're not dealing with isolated stupidity here. What we are seeing is half of humanity is incapable of questioning idealogies/religions. They adopt barmy ideas with hardly any resistance and then just deflect all contrary evidence. That's what makes Brexit so depressing. It's not the adverse economic effects. It's not the fact we will become so much less important in the world. It is the awful realisation that we are at the mercy of half-wits. And will be for ever.

Shaunbuoy is very useful to us. He is so vacuous he makes the perfect Brexit poster boy. He embodies all of the failings of Brexiteers in one convenient package. He does exactly what he says on the tin. We're really quite fortunate he doesn't go off in a huff.
