Off Topic Politics Thread (no personal schizzle)

I know what I'm voting for now.

 

Fair enough

 

Nope
In fact the total shambles that has occurred makes me think my rather reluctant remain vote was correct.
In fact i think in the vast majority peoples views haven't altered.

 

I agree. The heel digging seems stronger than ever. But I do know a few people personally who have changed their minds. And I don’t blame them. I have alot of respect for people who admit they made a mistake. Many seem to be so entrenched in the bullshit, they will twist anything to suit there agenda

 

You have a lot if respect for people who changed their minds to the way you voted ?

 

Eh?

 

Yes. I'd vote OUT and ****ing soon next time!

 

Any particular reason why mate?

 

Let's just say I've seen the light!

 

I’ll be honest. I’m ****ing sick of the whole thing. Politicians on all sides have on the main shown them up for the self serving ****s that they are.
I voted leave. But if there was an option to forget the last two years and get back to where it was, i’d probably take it. This whole debacle has caused an irreparable divide in our country.
The whole things ****e

 

I agree with almost every word mate. But we can't go back so let's go forward and just get the **** out and move on!

 

Only himself to blame, why couldn't he just leave them alone?


An American who ignored laws preventing outsiders from visiting an island where the indigenous people are protected has been killed by its inhabitants.

John Allen Chau is said to have died in a hail of arrows as he set foot on North Sentinel Island, part of the Indian-controlled Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal.

The people who live there are one of the few tribes completely cut off from the rest of the world and have previously fired at outsiders.

Indian police officials confirmed the death and said a local electronics engineer simply named Alexander, who was a friend of Mr Chau's, a local watersports instructor and five fishermen who allegedly aided last Saturday's visit have been arrested for violating the terms of the island protection laws and for causing Mr Chau's death.

An Andaman and Nicobar Police statement said Mr Chau, 27 - who described himself as "an explorer at heart" - had hired a fishing dinghy to get close to the island, before changing to a kayak they towed behind the boat.

"He was attacked by arrows but he continued walking. The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body," an official source told the AFP agency.

"They were scared and fled but returned next morning to find his body on the sea shore."

 

How the **** am i meant to know that?

 

It's the people who didn't vote in the first place that would make the difference 2nd time, and the larger percentage of them were remain, as they just didn't believe it would go the way it did.

 

well if they cba to vote last time what makes you think they will this.

 

Rhetorical question.

 

... because he wanted to convert them to Christianity ... that's the problem with religion in a nutshell.

 

That it can't protect you from arrows? It's one of them, sure...

 

Most of any change will be from people who couldn't vote last time and people who can't vote this time.

 

That Christian missionary was such a Muppet. Darwin award.
