There is not universally accepted dictionary definition of the word as a racist term. There is nowhere on this forum where there is a list of words that are not acceptable to use. It seems that there is a certain MOD, NAT, who seems to think that rules can be made up without publishing them.
Calling someone Gammon is hate speech

It's good to see that the MODS on here, in particular NAT support the use of HATE SPEECH.

Occasionally, you can be a wee angry man that has no problem using insults like “snowflake” if you’re not getting your way, but can’t take an insult back.
Perhaps get a grip?

So, according to your logic, if we can leave then we do have power?

Originally posted by cannon999 View PostAnd yet you haven't grasped the core concept from my example. If we can't leave (reasons are not relevant, whether it will make us poorer, start ww3 etc) = we have no power in this organisation. Because they know that we can't leave and they can do whatever the hell they want. The point of a union is that everybody has a say. You, as well as the other braindead remainers are proving that we have no say by shouting that the economy will crash, the sun will explode etc if we leave EU.
How about this for an example .... you sign up to a Sky TV contract for 2 years at £65 per month. After 12 months you decide that you don't watch that much TV anymore and you no longer want to be a member. You want to leave and break the contract. SKY say, that's OK, but the cost is 12 months x £65 as that's what you signed up to pay. You complain it's not fair wah wah wah as you don't want to have Sky anymore. They say, again, you can leave whenever you like but you have to pay for what you committed to paying when you signed up. It's called a 'contract' and you signed it freely.
This is closer to our membership with the EU. We committed to being members and signed an international treaty to pay x to cover certain projects and work that we have benefited from. We can leave at any time, but we have a legal requirement under law to pay what we owe.
Failure to honour our debt isn't going to look good on the international stage when we try to negotiate free trade deals with other nations now is it
Go on fella, have another go.

Let's picture this. I am a member of a local gym paying £20 a month. Here's the conversation:
Gym: Sorry, you can only use certain equipment, otherwise you have to pay extra.
Me: OK
Gym: We are increasing the fees to £30 a month.
Me: No I am not happy with that, I want to leave.
Gym: But you can't leave, it's going to cost you £1000 to leave, you will get fat and unhelthy and you won't be able to join any of the other local gyms and loads of other scary things will happen.
Me: OK.. I guess I have no choice but to stay.
... 1 year later
Gym: We are increasing the fees to £100 a month.
Me: Woah what the hell.. I want to leave.. oh wait I can't.
Gym: You can also now attend during certain hours, you have to pay £150 for weekend access.
Me: ...
