O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

One thing Brexit has done for sure is to show us who the arrogant, patronising, pedantic, non patriotic people are in this country, I think Remainers have to agree with that.

You mean you and 52% bought the lies in the Brexit campaign.I think you will find the figure is well less than the original 52%..

Pedro, I think Och Pie is batting on your side.

What exactly do you mean by 'European'?

Two things really. Geographically we're an island nation (or group of nations) separate from the main European continent, but more importantly from my point of view, I think anything that threatens to 'lock' us into the European political superstructure needs to be opposed, and that's always what the European Union will be about, sometimes very obviously and sometimes more subtly disguised.

Brexit was a step in the right direction in terms of making that more difficult to do, and giving the British public the opportunity to express their view, but of course it was never going to mean the European 'blob' was going to give up trying to exert its influence. We've seen it since through various manipulative efforts to try to discredit and reverse the outcome and gaslight those who voted leave into thinking it was a mistake.

1959, I think you're being far too hard on yourself. I don't see you as being non-patriotic.

Not for the first time, you think wrong. Very wrong.

How is it arrogant, patronising, pedantic and non-patriotic to want the best for your country and the people who live in it?

I think this thread shows that everyone wants what’s best for the country, just people have different ideas how we get there.

Being arrogant, patronising and pedantic has nothing to do with wanting the best for your country. The irony of your first sentence though EP.

Absolutely. It all boils down to a matter of opinion and interpretation. That's why we have elections and the occasional referendum.

That's where we differ. I always though it possible to be part of Europe but still retain national identity.

If we want to go Morris Dancing on the village green we can.

That's exactly what I was trying to tell him, but it's obviously not sunk in.

In his world if you're anti-Brexit then you're anti-British.
