A thank you to Brexiteers.

Leave voters are the type that voted for the whole of the UK to leave the whole of the EU.
Two separate systems divided by a border.
Including a land border on the island of Ireland.
Leave voters are still waiting to get what they voted for, and remain voters are still waiting for leave voters to describe in practical detail how the line of separation between the whole of the UK will operate on the island of Ireland, to enable ‘leave’ to be made manifest.
In the absence of any solution to be suggested it leaves a vacuum, and that space is somewhere for flag waving racists to move their hateful racist flag engraved Petri dish to in order to fester more xenophobic hatred.
A lot of assumptions about the racist nature of leave voters could have been avoided, if the leave voters had suggested a real practical peaceful universally accepted solution to the land border taking into account the reality on the island of Ireland.
Until leave voters come up with a solution to what they have called on, my assumption is they’re racists...especially anti Irish racists.
Continually declaring they voted leave for good reasons and not because of hatred would be more credible if leave voters suggested a border solution. Whinging and whining that it’s unfair they’re viewed by some as racists is a diddums reaction to something they called on all by themselves.

TBF, I think they're opportunistic anti-Irish racists, as in they couldn't really give a shit about the Irish, but if the Irish are going to a) get in the way, b) be scapegoats for failure of the Great Brexit Dream, then bring on the Paddy jokes... :hmm:

Yep, its absolutely mental. The whole stamp duty holiday was probably stupider even than eat out to help out, cos this house price bonanza would have happened anyway.

When the inevitable housing price crash comes, as surely it must, it's going to be carnage.

Always amazes me how so many continuity remainers don’t seem to have ever sat down with someone who voted leave and had a discussion .

while i know many leave voters have cogent reasons for their vote which they can expound eloquently, you need a very good reason to set my ma off on that path as she is extremely voluble on the subject. not something to do if you have anything else planned for the day.

Not wanting to get into the postural hair-splitting too much, but is asking someone who is evidently committed to a particular - and far-reaching - policy what they were expecting to get out of it really such an unreasonable thing to do?

I haven't gone as far as to look for compelling reasons from Leave voters - any reason would have done - but the best I've ever managed to get is some handwavery about immigration, bullshit about regulations (straight banana type stuff), and a lot of rantiness about "sovereignty". All of which is fairly transparently not looking like any likely consequence of Brexit.

About the most "compelling" reason I've heard so far has been people admitting that it was a protest vote.

Pretty much nails it from my experience too.

I have friends who voted remain and have never fallen out with them over the issue . Obviously I don’t know personally and have never met any of the lunatic fringe .

Actually just remembered I do know and have met an EU zealot , my mate's sister who is a bit 'hallo birds, hallo trees' well meaning type , who rents property out to students. Remember her banging on about open borders , cultural enrichment etc when the co-op had a French cheese week and we all went round to her house.

There have been many reasons posted on this and other threads. They are still there for you and others go back and look at if you wish.

Pretty much without exception they were dismissed by Remain supporters as not being genuine or convincing.

I'll say it again, though it really should be obvious:

Just because the reason or explanation someone gives for an action or belief doesn't appear genuine, convincing or compelling to someone with a different world view, doesn't mean it isn't genuine, convincing or compelling to the person holding it.
 
Well the whole shit show can be summed up with Heinz creating 50 (couldn't even manage 57) new jobs becomes headline news.

Whatever the reasons people voted for Brexit, it is the the lying cunts behind vote leave that really piss me off. Should be in fucking prison. :mad:

Farmers Facing Ruin Thanks to Brexit – Byline TV

Byline TV went to Swindon to talk to farmers that had concern over Brexit and the ramifications for the Australian Free Trade Agreement. Some farmers and MPs believe the competition to their own products once Australia gains tariff-free access to the UK market will have dire implications on...
byline.tv byline.tv

Though the farming community was mixed in its vote during the 2016 EU referendum, many are unhappy with the current government’s handling of Brexit. “The Conservatives in their manifesto made false promises. They said they wouldn’t do anything like shatter our standards or harm our countryside, and yet in practice we now know that is exactly what they’re going to do” said Webster, who believes the British public should have been told categorically of the implications of Brexit on the countryside and the industry of farming.

British farming like the British fishing industry have been thrown under a bus by Brexiteers like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, some farmers are regretting their vote, others don't seem to be. By Line Times interviewed some English farmers about the UK-Australian Free Trade Deal and how they see the future of farming:

No excuse for throwing fish under a bus . How could they ?
 
it also slightly dim witted if he thinks it include france and ireland will supply the work force

wales and scotland maybe?
 
He's probably counting on there being a huge surge in Aussie and Kiwi backpackers, once the day arrives that Aussie and Kiwis can travel overseas with a reasonable chance of being allowed to return home when they want.
 
Imagine biding your time through various 'lockdowns' knowing that soon enough you'll be able be get back to Wetherspoons! Spoons! SPOONS! THE SPOOOOOOOOONNNNNSSSSS!!!! 🤪

What’s wrong with weatherspoons? The ones by me are multi cultural, multi generational and popular meeting up places. They are also popular with families who want a cheap meal out.
