You have identified the modus operandi of the poster. Originally posted by JRW2
Having looked back at your posts of a few days ago, I can't be surprised that you've chosen to post a smart-arsed and totally irrelevant response to what I said. I suspect that you won't now be willing to drop the matter, so if it pleases you, then go ahead.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

we're still and always will be a deluded nation. 200 years ago we ruled a fifth of the globe now we have a rock south of Spain; a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic and the Falkland islands. Great Britain, an amalgamation of 4 countries one of which doesn't want to be part of our new post EU world and one whom inadvertently seems to be the biggest problem to it. Brexit the greatest practical joke of all time. Go and live elsewhere then if it is such a s*** place?

If we *still* "ruled one fifth of the world" people like this would be banging their anti-colonialist drum and wailing like banshees about our evil ways (not that it stops them now). Because instead we pushed (in some cases forced) these countries to independence and dissolved our Empire, we're now a "deluded little nation" that doesn't want to be a cog in some European empire instead. Can these people just f*** off? 5 years on, and still the best thing this nation has done in decades.

hahaha, yes, some people aren't the brightest bulbs in the circuit are they? It's a good example of the intelligent brexit voter That reply used to be reserved for 'foreigners' but now they're even turning on themselves in frustration at what a disaster it's turning into

Would you have said that to the black South Africans?

Brexit was the best thing modern Britain has done in sixty years. Besides, why are you still waffling on about Brexit?.....it's done and dusted. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Jun 2021 1.23pm)

Notice how brexiteers now using phrases like 'modern Britain'? That's because they realise brexit is the break-up of the United Kingdom.

That's just what you hope and want, in typical vindictive style of most 'brexiteers' having realised what a huge mistake in reality that decision has been, their only 'salvo' is to wish economic hardship on millions of EU citizens. Still, don't let learning from your mistakes get in the way of the flag waiving and nationalism. Edited by Orange1290 (23 Jun 2021 2.51pm)

Read my post, I said possibly not hopefully, not twisting words are we? I don’t wish ill or hardship on anyone but carry on your anti- Brexit rhetoric if it makes you feel better. Did I make a mistake voting for Brexit? Maybe, maybe not, no one really knows yet, not even you ( I know that may come as a shock to you) but my conscience is clear.

It makes almost zero difference to the average person in England if Scotland does decide to go its own way. There are certain strategic interests such as the nuclear bases and I guess that since Scotland would still have the Queen as head of state, our armed forces could still recruit but the country already has its own legal and education system so really, effectively in many ways already a separate country. I am increasingly moving a position where by I look at all these threats about breaking up the UK and wondering what all the fuss is about? If Scotland wants to join the EU then good luck to it. They voted in favour of remaining and I reckon they deserve another independence vote. Give it to them ASAP is my stance now. Why would anybody on the left actually want the UK to remain together? Seriously?

The EU can move ahead without the UKs continued obstruction. Vaccines actually are nothing to do with brexit, and the UK is now dependent on the EU for them anyway. The UK, if it had remained, would probably have tried to block the recovery fund, and the China/EU deal to appease Biden. With friends like Johnson, who needs enemies? Taking back our waters is he? Well Johnson they are full of s**t, just like you are.
