You lost.
Get over it.

Kandinsky I 'd like to read the information that shows the 'vast majority of Remainers feel as you claim.
growstuff and EV well said!

I voted Remain but sadly I was in the minority . We are leaving the EU whether we like it or not and personally I am glad BJ is “getting on with it” as I am fed up with the uncertainty and the nastiness surrounding it.

As far as I can see there was never a vote on leaving with or without a deal . The EU are not going to give in to our demands and we cannot just bend over and let them kick us, so if “no deal” is all that we have left, then “no deal” it will have to be. I can’t see the point of prolonging this agony (purely for political gain) any longer .

Very well said Gilly ?

growstuff Thu 29-Aug-19 08:44:27

One "side" (as you call it) has a reason to be angry. The other "side" doesn't. Their "side" won, but they still seem to be aggressive. Who knows why!

PS. I'm not ever accepting viewpoints, with which I profoundly disagree or accepting so-called facts which are plain wrong, LadyGracie, but that doesn't mean that I'm not grown up enough to accept that my viewpoint hasn't prevailed.

DIVIDE AND RULE

gillybob, well said.

Boosgran Thu 29-Aug-19 08:48:38

GGMK3 what a horrible post.

SpanielNanny LadyGracie

Well said. I do so agree with all you wrote.

Some people comment on here about immaturity, yet show little maturity themselves from looking back at comments they've made in the past.

The snide remarks abound on this thread. They're coming fast and strong !

Barmeyoldbat Thu 29-Aug-19 08:59:45

This is an awful thread, all about gloating. I will continue to fight and support a decision to overturn a referendum that was won by so few votes. I have no intention of getting into any mud slinging on this forum.

Kandisky, you sound just like a child I pity you.

Bridgeit Thu 29-Aug-19 09:00:04

Quite simply Kandinsky, in answer to your question ( Thread title)no you are not being slightly unreasonable , you are being very unreasonable & not very insightful if the best comment you can come up with is - You lost, get over it-
I don’t think I need add anymore, your choice of 5 words says all that is needed for your viewpoint to be understood.

gillybob Thu 29-Aug-19 09:00:22

I don’t want to make this personal Paddyann but I think our business will definitely suffer . Already a few of our customers have suspended proposed projects and our biggest customer has opened a new factory within the EU. We were asked to help move a lot of their plant but my DH refused on moral grounds as we know the U.K. lads so very well we just could not help them lose their jobs !

growstuff Thu 29-Aug-19 09:09:37

I'm so sorry to hear that gillybob. Unfortunately, I expect your experience will be replicated up and down the country. I already know a number of people who have lost their jobs or have been relocated if they could speak German or French.

It's ironic really, because it's the ones who can speak foreign languages (the elite) and whose companies can afford to relocate, who will be OK in the end. It's the "little people" who won't have those choices and will lose their jobs … plus the businesses where they spend their money will struggle … and so it goes on.

BlueBelle Thu 29-Aug-19 09:10:40

barmyoldbat you ve said it for me what an unpleasant and very childish thread and it’s says more about the person who started it and those agreeing than it does about anything
Hideous and sadly so awful

growstuff Thu 29-Aug-19 09:13:25

Oh BlueBelle you'll be accused of being snide now!

Lessismore Thu 29-Aug-19 09:21:29

Leavers have been subjected to years of disgusting abuse from remainers*maybe not on this forum*

So have they been " abused" here or not?

Have you been called an ignorant racist here....in which case did you report it?

Hot air, all of it.

lemongrove Thu 29-Aug-19 09:23:40

Do stop stirring the pot Less hmm

GrannyGravy13 Thu 29-Aug-19 09:29:01

Lessismore,

Just because you haven't seen any of the vile insults to leave voters on GN, does not mean that they have not occurred. In most circumstances they are deleted swiftly by GNHQ.

Lessismore Thu 29-Aug-19 09:29:45

I'm not, and I don't take orders from you.

Where are these accusations....it now turns out they are elsewhere,

what fun grin

lemongrove Thu 29-Aug-19 09:31:20

????????

Violettham Thu 29-Aug-19 09:45:01

I voted remain because as I am very elderly I asked my adult children and grown up grandchildren what they preferred. They all wanted to remain. I am very sadden that so many do not consider that the younger members of a family who will be more affected than us older ones.

I expect you will have plenty of company Kandinsky. You and and the people who would go and watch public hangings, floggings and stonings - oh and the ones cheering the man bringing home the "little piece of paper" before all that went pear-snapped. We all know know just how deeply offensive, not to say ignorant people can be even if we didn't know before so unreasonable? Well people can't be expected to fight deeply psychotic natures, can they?

I think this would count as an offensive post; I say 'think' because it is so garbled it is difficult to be clear about the point it is trying to make.

Jabberwok Thu 29-Aug-19 09:46:48

What I can't understand is why the left is so enamoured by the EU?!! Surely it represents everything that they profoundly disapprove of: Capitalism, fat cats, gravy train, unaccountable expenses, jobs for the boys, the trashing of Greece, corruption, the list is endless! How do the left justify this and actually encourage it?!! JC has a life time of fighting against all of the above, and yet now embraces it?! Why?!!!

Today 08:48 Boosgran

I agree Boosgran.

This is a "horrible" thread and, as it's one aim was to personally insult some GN members I cannot imagine why GN have allowed it to continue - but here it is.

I imagine 'leavers' as a group will be referred to as a "swarm" or "vermin" at some point when the 'othering' is in full swing as even more filters are closed down and selective perception increases and, at that point, I guess you will still be seeing people as either Leavers or Remainers rather than individuals. And the only 'horrible' remarks you will see will come from those described as Remainers. I also expect you consider this a civilised thread, with a few exceptions - but never from Leavers.

trisher Thu 29-Aug-19 09:53:38

Because Jabberwok the EU has for a long time kept the cause of human rights and justice for the ordinary working man alive and well in the UK. It isn't something those on the right want to see continue. They much prefer a model based on the survival of the fittest. The indications are that the EU will take action against tax evasion which is another thing they would prefer not to see. The Labour party sensibly realise that the only hope of keeping the hard won wages legislation and human rights the EU have given us is to stay in.
