You didn't think I would ignore this did you?

The EU debate was bound to be a bit edgy, but it quickly became a nasty free for all, a bit of a revelation really.

The only person who has actually said that is you, roses.

You do not discuss the topic, you just attack whoever you disagree with. That is not the point of a thread on politics.
You are more childish than any of my grandchildren. At least they can debate and discuss things seriously.
In case you haven't realised, the EU referendum is one of the most serious things at the moment.
Report me for this personal attack if you want to.

I must ask this question ( since several of you are very free with their views) do you dd and djen and gg REALLY think that you have never upset anyone?? If you do not, then you have no self awareness at all!

durhamjen Tue 07-Jun-16 22:11:01

Nigel Farage did himself no favours tonight. He kept talking over the questioners.
However, Cameron did not answer all the questions directly.

Cameron was a coward, refusing to debate directly with a Brexiter. That wasn't a debate. They were asked different questions.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:09:13

Nothing much left to debate really, and since you dd amongst others ( including myself) have already made up our minds and cast our votes..........

durhamjen Tue 07-Jun-16 22:08:01

Perhaps there are too many. Perhaps you should take that up with the people who started their threads after this one because they did not like this one.
However, perhaps you should also think about what you say.
You said you did not upset anyone. Not true.
You said I should check out the EU threads. This is one.
If you do not want to debate the EU, don't. But do not complain about others who do.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:07:27

Although the forum generally is a lot less fun than it used to be.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:07:00

A playground of course!

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:06:27

Is this a playgroundor a forum for adults?

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:05:24

Oh boo hoo.

daphnedill Tue 07-Jun-16 22:03:56

Do you want to debate the EU, roses?

PS. You've upset me too in the past.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:02:03

Perhaps too many?

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:01:50

There are other EU threads!

durhamjen Tue 07-Jun-16 21:54:36

By the way, roses, this is an EU thread.

durhamjen Tue 07-Jun-16 21:53:52

That's why you're upsetting me, roses.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 21:47:57

Actually djen most of the time I don't respond to any jibes from you, and when I do I keep it light ( read my comments to you on the EU threads, and read what you have said to me.)

durhamjen Tue 07-Jun-16 21:39:32

You're always upsetting me, roses.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 21:37:24

Is anyone watching the Farage/ Cameron interviews?

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 21:36:21

I certainly haven't upset anyone or caused a fuss over nothing if that's what you mean.

Gracesgran Tue 07-Jun-16 20:55:58

Do you really feel you have "dished out no insults at all" roses?

I am very sure no one will make up their minds from simply reading the threads but there have been many sources of information flagged for them to follow from some members although I appreciate many of those voting "out" do not approve of these - or so they keep making very clear. I wonder how the undecided feel watching tonight's news.

Alea Tue 07-Jun-16 20:42:23

rosesarered that was my point too, but you put it much more succinctly!!

varian Tue 07-Jun-16 20:16:38

I agree

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 20:11:31

I'm sure they will....but, I hope they don't make up their minds simply from reading threads on a forum.

varian Tue 07-Jun-16 20:01:47

The "still not sures" if they read through the threads will judge for themselves.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 19:21:03

Varian from what I have read, I would say it is the exact opposite,the posters who want to leave the EU dished out no insults at all, but oh boy, the posters who wish to remain, have been very unpleasant at times.
we will have to agree to disagree on this.
