You lost.
Get over it.

I agree WadesNan they are hyprocrites.

WadesNan Thu 29-Aug-19 07:10:28

Isn't it strange the people complaining about what Johnson has done are perfectly happy at the prospect of a group ousting the sitting PM and installing a man who all polls show would never be elected.

"You lost. Get over it."

This arrogant statement really frightens me. My concerns are with the future of the UK, not the unstated values of the Leavers.
A No deal Brexit will really damage the economy. This was made clear 3 years ago, and brushed aside as 'Project Fear'. It is now happening. We lose all the benefits of being a leading power in Europe, to being a puppet of President Trump.
I worry for those who have been suffering under Tory austerity for 9 years. I worry for the young people whose chances of working in Europe have been removed.
I worry for those who can make the statement above with glee, with not a thought for the actual ramifications
And now I am shocked by Johnson's efforts to silence Parliament. This is not the democracy Leavers claim shock

I can imagine the rage if it were a Labour government that had done this - the Establishment would be plotting a military coup, and not for the first time.

crystaltipps Thu 29-Aug-19 06:42:07

I'd say this move has driven yet another wedge into the divisions created by Brexit. Now we find leavers cheering this coup and Remainers decrying it.
It's worth remembering that the whole issue of EU membership was barely registering as an issue before around 2015. Many were too apathetic to even vote and those that did weren't necesarily that fanatical about how they did vote,some more or less voted on a whim.
Now it's simply become an issue of pride for leavers,I don't think many even reflect on consequences anymore. This division isn't going away, especially give the way it's being handled.

growstuff your attitude towards leavers is so condescending, it's laughable. Please do enlighten me, as you obviously know me and each and every leaver in the land so well, what are "my values"?

Marydoll Thu 29-Aug-19 00:12:28

It's horrible OP!
Why post something like that? What does the OP hope to achieve? ??

SpanielNanny Wed 28-Aug-19 23:17:41

I am the only leaver in my family. However none of the remainers in my family are ‘exploding with rage’. They’ve certainly never called me a racist bigot.

Much like the majority of leavers are decent people, so are the majority of remainers. There are people on both sides who have called the other terrible things. Whenever it comes to political views there will also be some extremists, on both sides of the coin.

My dil is very upset about parliament being suspended. Not because she was hoping they were going to stop brexit, but because it will cause a delay in a new Domestic Abuse Bill being passed. Due to a very traumatic past she was heavily invested in this. I can fully understand her feelings.

Doodledog Wed 28-Aug-19 23:11:18

I get lost at 'Remoaners'. As soon as that word is used, I know that I am dealing with someone who is not going to engage with the issues, or debate the topic in anything other than insults. I feel much the same about 'winning' and 'losing'.

People have strong feelings on both sides, and to take pleasure in others' unhappiness is horrible.

lemongrove Wed 28-Aug-19 23:04:31

Glad that you know the values of over 17 million people growstuff...quite an achievement!

growstuff Wed 28-Aug-19 23:02:27

So?

The OP is vile. It's difficult to understand why people gain pleasure from seeing others' despair.

Yes, I have seen the values of leavers and they're not mine. If you think that's insulting, there's not much help ...

lemongrove Wed 28-Aug-19 22:54:36

Hmmmm, ‘loony leavers’ and ‘I’ve seen for myself what their values are like’
You see, it’s childish insults like that from Remainers on GN
That posters such as Lessismore profess to never have seen in the last few years.?

growstuff Wed 28-Aug-19 22:49:36

elizasnan, Have you seen some of the comments from those who voted leave? shock

growstuff Wed 28-Aug-19 22:48:45

Errmmm! The EU isn't on the verge of offering any deal. They'll probably glad to turn their backs and get on with being grown ups.

growstuff Wed 28-Aug-19 22:47:22

That's very true, crystaltipps. Every cloud has a silver lining, I guess. Hope they take responsibility when things go t*ts up!

Some of them seem to think we can all be friends again. I don't think so! I've seen for myself what their values are like.

growstuff Wed 28-Aug-19 22:45:23

You obviously don't have a clue about the meaning of democracy. Sigh!

Opal Wed 28-Aug-19 22:39:59

No crystaltipps, we all just won our right for democracy to be upheld.

crystaltipps Wed 28-Aug-19 22:36:03

At least we will never have to listen to loony leavers whining on about the democratic will of the people and all their usual guff again. We all just lost our legal right to parliamentary representation.
Heil Bozo.

quizqueen Wed 28-Aug-19 22:28:17

EU law states you cannot negotiate a deal while still a member so we have to leave with no deal anyway. Theresa's deal was just a deal to talk about a deal during the 'transitional' period after we had given them a sh*t load of money and allowed their laws to still stand during that time. You can imagine how weak our hand would be then.

quizqueen Wed 28-Aug-19 22:21:18

It's about time the Leavers seem to be getting their way; anyone would think they actually hadn't won the vote. All the Remainers are doing is encouraging the EU to give a bad deal and we know what Theresa said about a bad deal!

Opal Wed 28-Aug-19 22:13:57

I don't pretend they don't exist, but they are a very small minority. However, some biased GN remainers tar us all with the same brush ……. just sayin……..

elizasnan Wed 28-Aug-19 22:10:54

It would appear those who voted leave received the greater number of votes. The remainers fewer therefore they are fighting with everything they can to remain. Trying to thwart what the majority voted for

crystaltipps Wed 28-Aug-19 21:30:57

Like the one I know who hates Nigerians....
Don’t pretend they don’t exist...

crystaltipps Wed 28-Aug-19 21:29:57

There are some ignorant racists who are happy though... just sayin....

Opal Wed 28-Aug-19 21:26:16

Yep, that's what I thought!
