Rees-Mogg "The outrage is phoney and it is created by people who don't want us to leave the European Union" Why are they allowed to lie, so blatantly and consistently? Where are your Christian values now Mother ****er? **** off. Knows damn well the outrage is real, doesn't give flying **** about the people of this country, only cares about the lining of his pockets, knows full well No Deal is calamitous. Can't believe there are people championing the **** being pulled this week, truly beggars believe. But I mean obviously when Brexit proves to be the cluster **** disaster its clearly going to be it will be the fault of all the Remoaners and Remainiacs (note you are only allowed to name call if you voted leave obvs), don't expect any contrition from the other side.
Brexists ?

Don’t your lot call leavers ‘racists’, ‘gammon’, ‘facists’ and Brexitards ??
Is that name calling allowed ?

There are idiots on both sides that can't seem to be civil to one another. I try not to resort to name calling, think I may have used Brextards though, in exasperation at the folly and the madness but probably in retaliation at the double standards of some on here.

Lol
 
This totally sums it up for me, I don't understand how people who never even gave our membership of the EU any thought at all now feel (or do they really) so passionately about leaving. Obviously people on here will claim otherwise. The right wing media and self serving politicians have done a proper number on this country.

So it makes your original point about name calling quite hypocritical then ?

Totally agree, ****s on both sides.
For every Boris and Jacob.....there’s an Anna or Steve.

You could say the same about those who now feel so passionately about staying......every ying has its yang

No, we dont call Leavers racists or fascists, because not all leavers are racists or fascists. All racists and fascists are Leavers, however, and so if we did say that, we would be right at least some of the time.

Brexiters is a new one on me, and Gammon is something I've seen some Leavers embrace. Even if it could be insulting, it's nowhere near as insulting as being called traitors, or told we are betraying the country our relatives fought and died to protect.

THAT is insulting, if you want a measure to go by.

Perhaps although it wasn't the main point of my post, hence it was in brackets, intended to indicate it being of the 'tongue in cheek' variety.

If someone feels insulted then it’s insulting.....I find ‘gammon’ very insulting and racist but is used freely by the remain side.......insults are insults, however you measure them and you are being hypocritical to say one is ok ‘cos you feel it’s less than the other.

I think for me its the absolute and utter lack of accountability. Case in point '
You must log in or register to see media

Still doesn’t address my point though. Both sides now feel impassioned about something that they never gave a thought to.
Though many on the far left have been very anti EU for years ( for example Bob Crows ‘Workers against the EU)
