    Just sit back, smile, and enjoy taking in their tears. No amount of hussy fits is going to change the result, now. We won and that's that.

    Won the battle, lost the war.

    Got out of Europe, whole country will suffer the consequences for decades

    Weird definition of "won"

    How pathetic.

    That's really idiotic.

    The people I know personally , on here, would tell you there's no one more patriotic. I took my sons to the World Cup in France and in Germany, flew the flag during my time in France and love this country.

    But I'm not stupid enough to believe it's unpatriotic not to fall for the infantile flag waving of the likes of Boris Johnson or think that the Tory party, and only them, are Great Britain.

    Criticising the Conservatives isn't criticising everything British ...

    ... you really need to learn the difference.

    Were the Germans who criticised Hitler "unpatriotic", and are those Russians criticising Putin now "unpatriotic" ? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    You use that little face with the hand over the eye quite a lot. You need to start flying the flag here mate not France and Germany.

    You're an idiot, sorry but the evidence is undeniable.

    If you think praising the government of the last thirteen years is what makes someone patriotic you're lost.

    And you slagging the country off 24/7,
    7 days a week, 12 months a year, 7 years in a row shows who the idiot is.

    It's ludicrous isn't it ...

    ... we're supposed to be proud of any idiot waving a flag.

    If we don't we're not patriotic <doh>

    It’s been said several times but it is an obsession.

    Can you imagine any other politician thinking that was a good idea, come to think of it can you imagine any other rational human being doing that? Embarrassing to the point of it being "unpatriotic" :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It's a thread about the Boris who's on the front pages almost every day and who you come on here to talk about.

    This is the Boris you've defended who 'got Brexit done', 'beat Covid', 'saved the country', etc, etc, etc.

    Of course people talk about him, he was PM a few months back ...

    ... you still talk about Blair ffs <laugh>

    Other threads are available.

    'If I wave this flag there's just an outside chance that thick people will think it's patriotic and vote for me' ...

    ... 'Wow, I can't believe it, this works!'

    'Thank you Mr Trump, you were right!'

    Yet they're still crying that he's gone ...

    ... then criticise anyone who thinks leaving the EU was a bad decision.

    First past the post system doesn’t help. Get in with a reasonable majority and you can almost do what you like for 4 years. Proportional representation would mean any government has to at least compromise and curb the excesses we see. When the government changes parties then the first couple of years wouldn’t at least be spent trying to undo everything that’s just been done by the previous lot.

    This has become a regular theme on here recently.

    If the current government were halfway capable it wouldn't be mentioned imo.

    It becomes a recurring problem with governments. Would Blair have taken us into an illegal war? Would the Brexit vote have happened? Both sides screw up as a good size majority and confidence builds a belief they can get away with more and more.
