Don't you mean overbearing and too big for his boots?
Problem is a Leylandii is more intelligent than Assgoo.Leave a comment:

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.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by chopper View PostIt 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.

Originally posted by sasguru View PostThe 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.Leave a comment:

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.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by Cirrus View PostShaunbuoy 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.Leave a comment:
