A thank you to Brexiteers.

The French word for a pint-sized champagne bottle is ‘gamon’

Gamon in French means gamon, the meat.

The French do not have a word for a pint of champagne, the only reference to your claim is James O’Brien’s tweet, an entitled posho who’s well in to his sixth year of his anti Brexit whinge.

Brexit in French means great lovers with big cocks…

A pint of champagne is from now known as a gamon.

It does work as the biggest cheerleader for such a thing was Winston Churchill, who’s got more than a touch of the Phil Mitchell about him.

I'm a bit sceptical about the idea of champagne in imperial bottle sizes. If it ever happened, I reckon it would have only been as a gimmick. We're being sold Orwellian memories of a fake past, IMO.

i think this thread has died because there is absolutely nobody left, anywhere, who has the energy to pretend to think that brexit is going great, or will ever in future seem like it was a good idea.
Not even the government who were elected to do a brexit, nobody.
its like we're all limping along, we know we're hobbled, hopefully its not terminal let's just not talk about it cos its all a bit embarrassing an accident we did a while ago.

Your imagination is running hot.

Guardian Opinium poll says 17%:

“Now what we’re seeing is a significant minority of Leavers saying that things are going badly or at least worse than they expected. While 59% of Remain voters said, ‘I expected it to go badly and think it has’, only 17% of Leave voters said, ‘I expected it to go well and think it has’.

83% of people resounding to Guardian poll are whinging bellends, shocker.

26% of Leave supporters said it had gone worse than they expected, while 16% of those who voted for Brexit said they had expected it to go badly and had been proved right.

Don't forget the 16% who love misery

If you voted leave you are a nasty deliberately mendacious cunt who joins other flag shagging cunts like Rees Mogg and Mark Francois.
Yesterday we saw the Webb telescope launched, an example of international cooperation, cost a third of the Tory failed, wasted (and largely stolen) Track and Trace money.
As we enter the new rules of 2022 I hope the division between leavers and remainers gets deeper and becomes more bitter and confrontational.

And the pressies are still just as naff. Two pairs of slippers this year ffs, and I only wear slippers to take the mutt for his nightly walk.

Happy Xmas to you as well.

Regardless of what opinion polls say, I can't think of anybody I know who still mentions Brexit apart from one or two Remain weirdos, who weren't even weirdos before the Leave victory made them lose all sense of proportion or rationality. They are the types to sport that silly 'Still European' sticker. Presumably they think leaving the EU means that we've drifted onto a different continent entirely.

Fear not, when I ascend to the Throne following Camilla's next failed plot, I will immediately rejoin us into the EU and will stick Rees Mogg and his ilk on a duck pond with a large moat and high mobile roaming charges between us.

 

[philosophical]

Maybe they look at the concept of ‘leave’ through the prism of the UK/EU land border.
Certainly not remain weirdos but people who have lived through the modern troubles that cost upward of 3000 lives.
Such weirdos to be concerned about that eh?

Not largely arguing with that, although from the other side there are still lots of headbanger Brexiteers of the gammon type cheered on by the Daily Express and similar who still more than mention Brexit.

 

[RD2003]

I don't doubt it, but I never really encounter those types up close.

Maybe they do, but they never talk to me about the land border or anything else caused by leaving the EU in any detail. It's more a kind of existential angst.

Would you call a remain voter, if you encountered one that is, who was concerned about the UK/EU land border a ‘weirdo’?

IME people never did mention it until the intra-tory beef was presented as the defining issue in 21st century UK politics. There never was any substance to a 'choice' between 2 contrasting visions of neoliberalism...and there still isn't.
