Stop assuming a air of superiority Peter.
I put up a perfectly reasonable post and you still chose to read some arguement into it.
Like i said take a breather.
Let me get this right, you don't think your posts should be debated, agreed with or criticised like other posts on here? And it's me "assuming an air of superiority"!

That's for convenience. They are not wanting to be ruled by Ireland.
No-one said they did, you were the one that brought up rule by Ireland, in response to this post:
Or Northern Irish unionists applying for an Irish passport?
That wont happen either.
Well, yes it is. We were talking about the upturn in NI folks applying for an Irish passport - basically snow is laying on the ground in Hell for some unionists.

****ing hell, this is reallly turning into the petersaxton thread isn't it.

I was referring to the post by Obediah and he said Northern Ireland would want to become Irish - he was talking about a united Ireland. Somebody else mentioned the passport issue which is totally different. This is individuals wanting an EU passport so they can get into EU countries easier.
I have a friend who's UK passport expired a couple of years ago and using his Australian passport took him an hour to get into the country so he renewed his UK passport to get in quicker in future. He wasn't making a political decision.
I promise not to comment on anything you say if you promise not to talk nonsense. This is an internet discussion forum. Try to remember that.
 
Yes, I read it. He didn't appear to agree with a lot of policies proposed by democratically elected UK governments. Are you saying he approved of them? To me it appeared to be the rant of somebody not getting what he wants and not being able to man up and get on with life.
No he is saying it as it is. All he has done is point out that all that is wrong with this country can be laid at the feet of our democratically elected WESTMINSTER parliament AND NOT THE EU. If you think any of that is going to change now we are leaving the EU then you really do live in cloud cuckoo land.

Yes it is.
I was clearly stating that nobody knows what will be the outcome.
Is that not the case??

What makes you think that I think EVERYTHING that has been decided by the UK is going to change because we will leave the EU.
That is a typical "straw man" argument. You are incapable of successfully arguing against what I say so you make out I said something I didn't say so you can argue against that.
If you think I am wrong then please indicate what are the posts where I have said any of the things he mentioned were the fault of the EU.

No one will be blaming the fact we aren't in the EU for our troubles in future presumably? It will be down to Westminster?
 
Yes it is.

Now you are making it up!
You didn't say that "nobody knows what will be the outcome"
You said: "I voted in but can see both sides of the argument where most on here cant."
That is what I objected to.
I didn't object to your statement: "Lets see after negotiations because it may end up to something similar to what we have and im sure THEN both sudes will claim victory."

Yes so nobody knows do they.
And im pretty sure that we wont get anything massively different.

Nobody is CERTAIN what is going to happen but neither was anybody certain what was going to happen if we stayed in.
I was disagreeing with your statement that you were saying most couldn't see most sides of the argument. I think most can see both sides. That doesn't mean they agree with both sides. They make their decisions based on what they think is more important.
 
Yes, the money that will now go to pay for our free trade agreement with the EU and be spent in other EU countries.
That wont happen. Why should we pay the EU for a free trade agreement when they export more to us than we do to them? Surely they should pay us in that situation? If you don't think so can you explain the logic of your argument?
