The Brexit Party

Am hoping that when we leave the EU this year that GN can get back to it’s usual self.?

Good post Gabriella ?

?????? Alima
The breathtaking assertions by some remainers on GN that
There have been no insults chucked around by calling leavers thick or racist ( or both) is staggering.
It has been stated many times on Brexit threads, and you only need to trawl back to see them.
They usually say something along the lines of ‘ oh, I realise that not every single leaver is thick blah blah’ or ‘experts have proved that most leavers had little education blah blah’.
I know that GN is better than most forums, but even so, to say you have ‘seen nothing’ is quite ridiculous.

Having got an impression of the sort of person you are Gabriella I too would probably be telling you what you want to hear, knowing you cannot be there when I make my vote. I would be very suspicious of a family where no one openly dissents.

Nothing like sweeping generalisations is there?

You clearly don’t post on Mumsnet as well as gransnet.
I’ve lost count of the insults thrown at leavers, yes, actually calling leavers thick racists.
Maybe you’re in a little bubble on here?
But from my experience, remain voters are absolutely vile towards leavers.

Do we only see/hear what we want to see/hear? Maybe I should add blinkered to the list.

I agree, Varian. It is actually leave voters who are talking up this idea that this is how they have been described. I suppose, when this debacle is history the truth of this may come out about this lie, as well as many others, but what damage votes based on lies will have done to the country by then, heaven only knows.

That assertion ( not duration ) - phone taking over again

I have never heard anyone on the remain side of the argument say that all those who voted leave at "thick, racist, ignorant". Never. What I have heard, time and time again is liar Farage and his cronies make that a duration to whip up outrage. He has said it so many times perhaps he believes it himself, but it doesn't make it true.

I could ask my DGC how they would vote but sadly it won’t cut the mustard. The eldest, 7, asks “what’s politics”. The next in line says “oh no, not Brexit again!” At the time of the referendum we did ask how our AC would vote and went along with their choice as the result would affect them for longer than us. They voted leave.
I think many of you are missing the point about Nigel Farage. It isn’t the man as much as the voice he gives to those of us who want to leave. It is only so often you can be referred to as thick, racist, ignorant etc before you strike out with a pencil.

I agree Gabreilla good post. I'm also fed up of the condescending posts by some of the Remainers on here who think they know it all.

If we are the template with our political omnishambles I doubt if many will want to emulate our divided U.K. I’m not sure suckling at Farages breast is an image I want in my head but it takes all kinds.

Have you absolute proof of the mayhem, poverty and terrible lifestyle awaiting post Brexit, or is it just the picture you (and others) like to paint?
You're all so miserable and pessimistic. No fighting spirit eh?
We don't need to suckle at the breast of Junker & Co. They have nothing to offer but a collection of countries propping each other up like a house of cards. One puff and they all fall down.
Just watch.
We will be the template for others to borrow.
It will all come tumbling down and we will have shown them it can be done, albeit massively messed up by our incompetent ministers.

Would they have thought of me if remain had won?
We can now start on a fresh sheet of paper, I never did like writing on the reverse.

Voting Labour for the many.

It's not a jokeGG54. Glad your family members are all so secure in their lifestyles and wellbeing, but thousands upon thousands are going to be far worse off post Brexit. Spare a thought for them once in a while.

You can tell when people get the jitters as they capitalise whole sections of a post to (in their dreams) get their message to leavers and post links in order to rubbish the Brexit movement.

Too little too late.

I, my OH banker, my ex, my 5 AC AND 9 out of 10 GC are voting for Brexit. All independent decisions by working adults.

My mother in law tore up her (Brexit) postal vote when she realised she was voting against every other member of her family including 2 non British EU citizens. She's 99, and has dementia, so that explains her initial decision I suppose.

I find that so heartening martha I feel the same about my dear grandsons. I will do everything I can to give them a future.

I dont know how many grans remember what GN was like before the referendum, but I have noticed how many more grans are supporting remain and there isn’t nearly so much Unpleasantness and hard right posting as there was then. It is so much nicer.

Well done!

Tomorrow we shall be making a most important decision that could effect the lifestyle off younger members of the family for the rest of their lives.

George my partner and I have have been chatting to our grandchildren to get their views on Brexit, those discussions have been most revealing. We have both come to the same conclusion that at this election it is most important that young people's views are not only heard, but also seriously considered.
For that reason we have mutual agreed to take account of our grandchildren's views. I have 5 grandchildren, 2 of whom are twins but who don't as yet have a vote. They are not eligible until August, I have however ,decided to honour their views by voting for the party of their choice. In other words, I am really acting had their proxy for its their future rather than mine as I reach my late 70’s, that I strongly believe is so important.

Therefore tomorrow I am voting for the Lib Dems.

George, has not told me as yet how he is voting, but from what I have heard from his grandchildren, we are singing from the same sheets of music as far as voting is concerned.
We have both promised not to vote for Brexit Party under any circumstances.

The Brexit party barely has a Brexit policy – why won’t they say what their version of No Deal would look like? The lack of media scrutiny this single policy party has had of that single policy has been startling.

Read what this leave voter says. He is not going to be misled again.
