Remain vs Brexit

[DodgyAgent]

Absolutely agree with your post as a whole, but to a grammar pedant such as myself that sentence is interesting example of how missing commas can change and even reverse its intended sense.

Without any commas it means "those leftie liberals who (among possibly other leftie liberals who don't) hate the fact that the UK supports remain" :



With one comma is means "the leftie liberals who as it happens all hate the fact that the UK supports remain" :



But the adding a couple of commas changes its sense to what you presumably meant:

Please do keep correcting me!

Quite comical really. Thinking we're better off with others is "hating the UK". I guess you consider a man with friends "self-loathing" and that he should have the confidence to stand on his own two feet and have nobody to go to the pub with.

Nobody suggests the UK can't survive by itself; to think that suggests the EU has been supporting us all these years and only the Kippers think the EU has that degree of control of our lives. The UK can survive by itself; North Korea survives by itself but I wouldn't want to live there. It's only a question of whether there are benefits for everyone to have closer ties to the rest of the world and thousands of years of history tells you that there are.

I meant hating the UK in just about every topic that is discussed whether it is the war in Iraq or the Scottish Nationalism debate (hating England).
Interestingly a great deal of this sort of sh*t comes from those who are no longer here

Probably when Britain leaves there will be a bit of a political crisis triggering a recession and a general air of panic. In the end Britain will then sign up to a comprehensive deal with the EU and after that all the government has to do is to sit back and receive new EU regulations by fax every few months or so.

arguments don't stand up to any scrutiny

some Bremainers struggle with conditional logic, I've noticed. Indeed, pretty much anything they can't put in a gravity model with exponentiation to infinity and/or world war. Why argue when you can extrapolate doom?

You are another brit hating pri*k who has left the country and spends half his sad sorry little life denigrating the UK. As if the Uk would ever have to rely on a Franco German bureaucracy for its well being is laughable.

Please learn how to use the English language properly.

This is the kind of anger level that we saw from the Scottish nationalists before they lost their vote - very interesting.

This proud British emigrant will be voting Remain, and will continue to do his best to help the UK to export services to the rest of the EU.

It just relies on Franco/German/China/rest of the world to keep it going having sold it off to them...Whatver happened to:
