Two months and no-one commenting on this thread, not even RG, and I was hoping it had died a natural death. Sadly no it seems

No I think the **** show that is Brexit will keep giving for a long while yet!

And lets face it, why would those of us who knew it would be a **** show, refrain from reminding those that voted leave of the fact?

The slight problem with that logic, and there’s always a problem, is that everyone here voted Remain

What...like Tricky? Really?

Not even all of those who regulary post voted remain, so wrong again AF. The poster who started the thread definitely didn't. It was meant as a triumphal thread. Well that went well! I'm sure there are people who view the Forum who didn't vote remain.

Funnily enough if the thread hadn't been started, I most likely wouldn't have mentioned Brexit again. But these follies often get forgotten and history rewritten, so its good to keep it going.

Still waiting for a Brexit supporter to give even one example of how 1. Its benefitted them personally and 2. How its benefitted the country. Guess I'll be waiting a long time!

Sorry PG. It’s probably taken second place to Covid...there’s the Brexiteers’ silver lining to every cloud if ever there was one...in recent times and then there’s been the plight of DCFC to preoccupy ‘all’ those half dozen or so who remain on here.
Beyond that...I totally agree with Swale’s post.
Even though any reliance on your moral compass would have me moving in exactly the opposite direction I recognise that you are probably the best informed on here in economic terms, so tell us all...what have been the benefits of Brexit?

To the best of my knowledge, of regular posters

Swale - Remain
rA - Remain
GP - Remain
AF - Remain
MA - Not entitled?
TTR - Leave

Just to help you with the maths, thats 4-1 Remain

Sorry to rub it in

But don't forget, I'm a Nazi
The irony being, the Nazi's wanted to run Europe, not leave it.

MA was for taking the politics out of what was, once upon a time, a free trade area.

FTA yes, US of E no.

Yes indeed. The dream that was sold to us in 1972
It still baffles me today, as to why folks think there is a need for a European commission/assembly/ECJ/carving up of direct payments/one currency, to have such an arrangement.

But when a dream of a federal USE has to have them, to push that band wagon along

So, as suggested, that’s not ‘everyone’ then is it?

Furthermore...you and GP have been particularly half hearted supporters of Brexit ever since the Referendum.

Correct rA, I wrote 'all' when I should have written 'almost all'. My error, albeit a minor one

But I was responding to Swale, who wrote 'Not even all of those who regulary post voted remain' Factually and significantly wrong.

So why was your first (and sadly, i'm guessing, only) thought to try to put me right?

My response was/is the opposite of halfhearted,I've stressed any number of times a) I voted Remain, b) Remain 'lost', c) I'm not and was never in denial about the result which I assessed in my amateur way (like we all) that there would be more negatives than positives and therefore d) I'd contribute wholeheartedly where I could to making the bestof our new national 'adventure'. I've also e) repeatedly called out those in denial/bitter about the outcome

How is Swale ‘factually and significantly wrong’?
It really doesn’t matter...I just find it interesting that you can’t let anything Swale writes go and even last week allowed a GP ‘slur’ (albeit quite a funny one) about Tricky’s Thai ‘adventures’ to go completely uncommented upon when you’d probably have been threatening Swale with all sorts of bans had he made the same comment.

For the record...Swale suggested (and I agreed) that ‘not even all those who regularly post voted remain'. That is true...Tricky certainly didn’t, MA - who’s view I completely understand - couldn’t. That means that, ‘not even all those who regularly post voted remain’ and therefore Swale is not ‘factually and significantly wrong’.

As I said...it’s actually not very important to me and Swale is more than capable of fighting his own battles, but I really don’t know why you’re having such difficulty with being wrong.

Because, as you indicate, GP's comment was 'funny', and as mod I assessed that it would be taken by TTR as (that famous phrase) just a bit of joshing, so took no action. Swale has been on the subject repeatedly and, again in my assessment, pointedly, so I took action. As it happens I've spoken to TTR about it and as a result I willwait for him to complain in future.

What you don't see rA are complaints about forum members which I've taken no action on when maybe I should including a number who've since left the forum or gone permanently silent after those complaints

Fair enough. Your opinion...none of it really remotely relevant to why Swale (or I...by implication) were ‘factually and significantly wrong’.
