Re: Where are the Brexit fans?

I'm not complaining. Merely pointing out that this was exactly what we voted for. To get away from stupid petty vindictive interference by incompetent Cnuts in the EU and get on with global trade and mutual co-operation.

Your views is based on a moral precept, that the EU have every RIGHT to do this.

My view as a brexiteer is pragmatic. They may have the right but it makes them look like the bunch of stupid petty incompetents that they are, and further reinforces the desire to have nothing to do with them.

Its is the exercise of petty authority for its own sake, and that is the classic trademark off over promoted incompetent middle management, which is essentially what we have running politics in Europe these days.

Its like being stopped by a traffic warden and told to cross the road 50 yards up because that's where the pedestrian crossing is, even though the lights are all red and traffic is at a standstill.

Its making trouble just because you can.

And its the reason why opinion polls say that 65% of those that actually give as shit want us to just get on and leave, if that's what the referendum result was. Even if they voted to stay themselves.

People are more sick of people opposing the valid legal political process, than they love the EU. They are seeing massive political interference at every level in this decision. They are sick of people telling them they are racists because they 'voted to leave Europe' when they actually voted to leave the EU. They are sick of being told that only uneducated people voted brexit, when they hold first class degrees from prestigious universities, they are sick of being told that they are stupid xenophobes, when they are unhappy being elbowed off the pavements by people who don't even understand English, and above all they are sick of being told that trade with Europe will come to a halt when we leave without a deal, because patently trade with India, China, Canada, S Africa, Kenya,Uganda, Morocco, Israel, New Zealand, the Philippines, Western Samoa, Goa, Brazil, the USA, Australia.. has not stopped because those countries are not, and never were, in the European Union.

And the staggering thing is how vocal and active are the (paid?) trolls online who insist that this will be the case.

WE voted to leave. The sky hasn't fallen, and nor will it. Britain will modify its international status from a part of te EU to a part of the rest of hte world, and it will be probably economically slightly better off as a result initially as has proved to be the case by letting the pound slide, and probably if racist Comrade Corbyn gets thrown out of the racist labour party and racist labour doesn't win an election, moderately better off in the future. Or if the desire to actually restructure politically leads to new leaders and new political memes, it could do a lot better, to the point where the next generation will wonder how stupid people had to be to want to remain in the EU.

I understand what drives remoaners. Its not what they say it is, its the fact that they are in complete denial over the dawning realisation that they have been mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed on bullshit, and they cannot accept just how badly and how cynically they have been lied to all their lives by people who they put their trust in.

Well snowflakes, that's life. If you haven’t been raped, you didn't have much to offer in the first place.

We felt the same way about Nixon, about the Suez Crisis, about Profumo...but we shrugged our shoulder and grew up, and the Who wrote 'wont get fooled again'

But you lot, didn't listen, did you?

All politicians are corruptible and most are corrupt., The purpose of a democracy is to remove the need for bloodshed to rid yourself of the very worst of them. The problem with the EU is that it is ultimately undemocratic. We could not remove the corrupt political class in charge, because they have no party that can be voted out and there is ultimately no way to remove them.

If there had been we would probably not have agitated to leave the EU.
