Nina - and your point was?
Have a quote from a former chair of Mensa: 'where you have 100 Mensans you'll find at least 101 opinions on any given subjects.'

Botcott? That would be interesting. Boycott, obviously.

52% of the voters, not the population. I wonder what the 28% who did not vote think about the result.

If you do not like what is going on on facebook, the obvious thing to do is botcott it.

I haven't noticed anyone on here calling brexiters thick today, Ceesnan.

The reason this group of counties is called Great Britain is because they are a big island, not because the people living in them are great. Just saying.

It's not just on Facebook that the insults are flying - have a look at some of the threads on here grin

Why can people not accept that the people have spoken and the people have as much right to 'speak' as the people who call them names? It baffles me!

NO!

I'm not wallowing in self pity, but I'm not rolling over and pretending I'm not angry.

I don't believe we're 'Great'.

Yes, no time for recriminations, we should now all come together behind a 'Believe in Britain' and instead of wallowing in self pity, rise up to the challenge with confidence and show the world that we truly are Great.

All over fb there are people calling anyone who voted Leave 'thick', 'uneducated' etc.

Do we not live in a democracy? Shouldn't we accept that more than 50% of the population want to leave the EU. I don't suppose that the same people would have been called names had they voted the other way.
