Brexit4

I think there are enough sour grapes on here , without reading the link.

It's been used on here before.

I didn't make it up

I've been restraining myself for weeks

Interesting blog here which has, I think, a direct bearing on this ill tempered discussion

Trigger warning. It's by a lawyer so don't read it if you're still anti experts...

Who's 'we', petra? Not the country.

I didn't make the term up...

Lowering the tone Suzied aren't you? you know we are all easily shocked knitting grannies on here.

suzied call us what you like. It still puts a smile on my face when I think of that wonderful morning, June 24th when I knew we had won.

As well as bemoaners there are plenty of brexshitters ( all will be wonderful sometime in the distant future....)

Ahh thanks rosesarered much appreciated ?Looking forward to joining in some more topics

Welcome to the forum norose and you may have some of my red roses.??

Right Maizie so we all have a right to our very different views hey?

I will stick with the strong worded debates rosesarered &toughen up a bit??especially as mentioned I can't knit & I it hate it cos I wish I could !

Perhaps ( just perhaps) some of us think that regaining national sovereignty, and being out of the EU is worth it

And it is abundantly clear that some of us don't think it's worth it. And telling people who haven't voted for it, and who are already losing badly because of it, that they are moaning, that no-one has any sympathy for them, that it'll be alright in some unquantifiably distant future, that they should work to make it a success, that they should just get on with it, etc. etc.is really just adding insult to injury.

I made a Dr Who scarf for DSIL ( it almost went down to his feet, he wears it around the house when feeling cold.)

Yes, scarves are all I can manage too!

Sadly I can't knit either lol ?

Well I could possibly manage a scarf.

Ahh thanks Gillybob, I'm sure I will get the hang of it, the brexit /remain vote certainly stirred up strong feelings opinions in everyone!

Except that I can't knit roses or I would be doing something useful instead of wasting all my time on this bloomin' forum

We should all be knitting nanas ( like the ones in the cereal ad ) Strong topics bring strong feelings, but there are plenty of lighter threads to look at.I recommend all the games.

As the saying goes, all human life is here

Welcome norose4 There are some nicer milder threads I promise.

Wow!fairly new to Gransnet, wasn't expecting such nastiness re other people's opinions &thoughts , not very good examples being set by some grannies!!!

Perhaps ( just perhaps) some of us think that regaining national sovereignty, and being out of the EU is worth it. Remember that this is in the short term, and we have to look at the long term for the UK. All tosh about 'hard hearts' is sentiment run riot, and really, let's face it , an excuse to insult anyone who voted to Leave the EU.

Yes, there's a lot of bemoaning going on.
