    he thinks his assertion is enough to provide evidence of what he thinks rather than reality
    it's like people could say Nichola Sturgeon hates England because she wants Scotland to be independent
    I'm sure you will get lunatics saying that Junker hates the UK because we voted to leave
    There seems to be an unhealthy lack of logic in some of the comments by the Remain side

    QED. Rinse and repeat.

    Have a look at what others are posting about the state of this thread. Then have a look at your contributions.

    Unfortunately for you and your "us and them" attitude, Bodanki voted Leave.

    He just doesn't have the same kind of mindset as you. You see the likes of Kustard and Pete as brethren, he knows they're bigoted ****s, regardless of which way they or he voted in any election or referendum.

    Tarquin said hi and asked whether your missus can walk yet.

    PS Dull Hull claims that I am a follower and you claim that I am a leader. You need to get together and sort your story out <laugh>

    I always consider my response to a serious and well thought out post.

    I respond to insults and idiotic, childish remarks in kind.

    This is a very juicy thread!

    As long as people don't state as fact that all the people who voted leave did so because of a disliking of immigrants, then I'm okay.

    A lot of remainders do pin this argument though which is just as ignorant as any far right pro-Brexiter's opinions.

    I work with a lot of Eastern Europeans and they don't like the EU either.

    That's another fallacy - that we're the only country who has people rejecting the EU.

    Maybe not to you, but you don't represent the entire vote eh?

    Do you not agree that immigrants have been a convenient scapegoat for the woes of our society?

    What really concerns me, is that if we do follow a hard Brexit tack and the economic climate becomes worse, that'll mean those at the lower end of the spectrum will feel the pinch the most. Seeing things getting worse and not better, who will the Mail and that segment blame then? I can see the far right becoming ever more prominent in the coming years and intolerance increasing

    I am slightly annoyed that Theresa May, rather than announcing any sort of Brexit plans, just feels compelled to come out with idiotic Soundbites like "Brexit means Brexit". What the **** does that even mean?
    You can say that about anything.

    She's too busy trying to control the power struggle in her own party.

    She has Fox, Davis etc on the hard Brexit course, and as we saw the other night, the chance of a revolt by the more moderate wing if she tries to go down that road.

    She's desperately trying to hang on to her new found position and keep both sides happy. It ain't working! Hence, no clear plan.

    Exactly.

    And the reason for the division is primarily due to the fact that the Govt was campaigning for Remain, and had nothing in their manifesto relating to how they would actually deal with an out vote.

    They therefore have no mandate, and May is an unelected PM to boot. this is the prime reason why the basic premises for the negotiations need to be agreed in the house.

    Are your still allowed to vote given that you've abdicated?

    I don't know what the rulings are.

    I dont think Expats were able to vote in the referendum.
    Is that right NSIS?
    But they can vote in general elections I believe.

    Also I think the word is Expatriated.
    Abdicated is when a royal gives up his throne <laugh>

    Par for the course. It's all just a pathetic attempt to belittle.

    Easier that way than try to understand the genuine view of others

    Gibraltar residents who were UK citizens and UK citizens who have been resident abroad for less than 15 years could vote
