    Here in a thread on lottery winners not having to support their prodigal son

    Here in a thread on child sex abuse FFS
    http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ml#post2417814

    I realise that Some People are zoned or Informationally deprived, and anyway we're all guilty of it, so I propose an award for anyone who just can't help themselves, maybe something along the lines of Godwin's law but for Brexit addicts.

    I thought of the recursive acronym "SPOUT" (Spouts Poison Or Uninformed Tosh), but happy to hear other suggestions... I'm sure that a nation that can come up with Boaty McBoatFace or merge Britan/Greece/France with Exit will be able to think of something?

    Doesn't Increment Communal Knowledge?
    Will Answer Not Knowing EU Reasoning?

    or merge-words

    Complete False Starter?

    (...and I can't be the first nominee 'cos "Brexit" was the first word in this thread!)

    So cutting, so erudite. Almost Joycean in its controlled arcadian outpouring.
