OT: What a pillock

[jacobncfc]

Jacob fails to understand that the "younger generation" eventually grow up....idealism goes out of the window and it's every man for himself and his family....

I tend to agree with this - it’s why the leave side need to be right about it having no economic consequences, and making the average family richer.

Who said there won't be economic consequences? It's a price worth paying in the short term. Long term is full of opportunities providing the snowflakes have the guts to get out of their comfort zone.

What is the price worth paying do you think?

And, what are the long term opportunities?

Pretty much the entire Brexit campaign...

Obviously anyone who is ideologically invested enough to be posting about it on an internet football forum doesn’t care, but if you think that the average voter was looking at ‘long term opportunities’ and happy with short term economic pain, I think you’re deluded.

I presume by snowflakes you mean the people who are spitting the dummy because the nasty wasty EU didn't roll over and give us what we wanted?

Right, here’s what you wrote:

“that one (the one in 2016 – Leave/Remain) will probably be overturned by a People’s Referendum in 2019, particularly in the light of increasing evidence of Russian interference.”

So, you think that firstly there “WILL PROBABLY” be another referendum “in 2019” and that the 2016 decision (to Leave) “WILL PROBABLY BE OVERTURNED” by that Referendum and that “increasing evidence of Russian interference” will help to overturn the 2016 vote.

So, you state the 2016 decision (to Leave) “will probably be overturned by a People’s Referendum in 2019”. I’m willing to bet money against that happening. Are you?

Also, wtf is a “People’s Referendum”? How is that different to a “Referendum”.

Also, still waiting for your evidence of Russian interference. So far Driller’s covered for you with something that’s “anecdotal” and something that’s “not concrete as yet”. What’s yours?

Anecdotal but true, I can pull up the thread if you want.

I wasn't covering for BFP, I was just raising some what I think are important points, I could've also raised the breaking of campaign finance rules by the Leave campaign.

I think once again we see a lack of objectivity on the part of leavers. Barack Obama expresses his opinion about a post Brexit trade deal with the US - venomous attacks from furious leavers about interfering in our politics.

Russia sets up websites and social media accounts to distribute fake news articles and quotes in a coordinated attempt to influence the vote - no biggie.

Speaking of Russia I haven't heard from any of our resident chemical weapons / international espionage experts lately, was it the consecutive passport numbers, the interview in which even the presenter couldn't stop herself from laughing, or the ever more bizarre Russian excuses that made the penny finally drop that they are trolling the **** out of us?

Anyway a dignified silence is probably the least embarrassing option.

Why should I provide you with evidence? What am I, your research assistant? You’ve proved yourself totally immune to the evidence around Brexit so I’ll be f00ked if I’m providing it for you.

Do I think a another vote, People’s or otherwise, is likely in 2019? Yes, the numbers in the HoC and the lack of support for Chequers make it almost inevitable imo. Do I want to have a bet on it with you? No thanks.

Well, being a remoaners that’s not a big surprise.

So give us some reasons why we should be optimistic based on negotiations to date.

Because the unelected morons led by a drunk will give us a good deal because without one they will suffer worse than us. Look at unemployment rates across the EU compared to the UK, we know how to run a County, they know how to top up their pensions.

[the_anticlough]

You have to agree with Ress-Mogg on one thing - it will be 50 years before any benefits of Brexit emerge.
So, while we're worse off people should campaign to reverse this nonsense this year, in five years, every other year, whatever it takes to
restore a country we can be proud of, not one filled with hatred and poverty.
