You lost.
Get over it.

Lessismore Thu 29-Aug-19 19:35:23

insulting language to other posters

Where?

crystaltipps Thu 29-Aug-19 19:28:58

The arguing isn’t going to stop when people start having to pay more for everything, jobs are lost and no one can see any end to ghastly Tory policies.

lemongrove Thu 29-Aug-19 19:24:38

Never mind Gonegirl... you have your very own thread on this subject now.

Gonegirl Thu 29-Aug-19 19:22:14

Oops! Mustn't laugh. It's all far too serious.

Gonegirl Thu 29-Aug-19 19:21:51

We all want to know that Labaick. Including Boris probably. grin

Labaik Thu 29-Aug-19 19:17:54

So, can I ask, yet again, what is the solution to the Irish problem....

blue60 Thu 29-Aug-19 19:10:20

Yes, you are bu. Not nice.

lemongrove Thu 29-Aug-19 19:09:43

Nobody on here needs to ‘get behind’ it, it really doesn’t matter what we do or think ( from the point of view of changing anything.)
However, once we are out of the EU we ( meaning everybody)
Can at least stop the arguing and get on with our lives as the
‘Will we won’t we’ bit will be over!
Business and finance hates uncertainty, and that’s why it’s so bad at the moment.
Everyone on here needs to take a good hard look at what exactly they are writing, stop the insulting language to other posters and keep to the subject itself.

It’s called respecting the result of the referendum and yes this country is great .

Shoequeen53 Thu 29-Aug-19 18:53:29

Yes I was always going to “get behind” something I believe to be disastrous for my country.

GrandmaMoira Thu 29-Aug-19 18:52:24

The post is rude, bullying and childish. Lots of leavers said this immediately after the vote and I unfriended anyone on FB who said this. I respect leavers point of view and have considered discussions with friends but saying this just makes my blood boil.

crystaltipps Thu 29-Aug-19 18:51:11

Half the country are not going to “get behind” this and if you think once Johnson has railroaded his vision everyone is going to suddenly think it is marvellous think again.

Fennel Thu 29-Aug-19 18:48:47

ps it doesn't mean I'm a Leaver grin

Gonegirl Thu 29-Aug-19 18:45:59

This is a nasty thread title and the original post is nasty. More suited to Mumsnet I would say.

Fennel Thu 29-Aug-19 18:44:39

Cheer up - remember this? Have those days gone?

Run it by me, what is great about this country?

Miche Thu 29-Aug-19 18:27:09

We wouldn’t be in such a mess had we not all got behind the result and made our great country look strong instead it’s being made to look weak time and time again
I think Boris is doing this to get a better deal but the message being no deal is better than a bad deal
Jc and cronies are dressing up no deal Brexit as no Brexit they are remainers ,well Corbyn is a leaver but just after his 5 minutes of fame !

Fennel Thu 29-Aug-19 18:14:33

So maybe Gransnet can be a powerful pressure group?
There's so much rubbish in the media, perhaps we can give a more realistic balance?
No-one seems to hide their feelings on here.

Bridgeit Thu 29-Aug-19 17:40:22

Think about it Fennel,
As long as we all keep posting , the forum stays popular.
Also some of our comments appear in DM, which I think has a connection to GN.
It’s a business at the end of the day.

Fennel Thu 29-Aug-19 17:25:05

So why hasn't someone at GNHQ removed the thread?

mostlyharmless Thu 29-Aug-19 16:03:13

Quite notentirely.

notentirelyallhere Thu 29-Aug-19 15:49:26

Shoequeen, it was intended to get nasty, as soon as possible, that was the point of the post. Why do people bother to respond? The really sad thing is that someone can be in the frame of mind to post something like this to wind other people up and enjoy it.

Where does this go? To calling other people names, reviling them in public and on social media, to calling judges traitors, to issuing death threats to all manner of people because they're in the public eye and have said something you disagree with, to killing MPs and others. It's no better than being a terrorist and deciding to kill people because you don't like what they believe in, be it politics, religion or anything else.

Shameful and dangerous.

Shoequeen53 Thu 29-Aug-19 15:27:09

Blimey, this got nasty.

growstuff Thu 29-Aug-19 13:52:57

Opal Do you have some kind of persecution complex? In what way have I behaved as judge, jury and executioner?

I thought it was those who voted to remain who are allegedly over the top.

All I've written is that your values aren't the same as mine...I wasn't the one who added "thank goodness". You have assumed something I haven't written.

You really should get yourself a metaphorical mirror.

Hello Minimoo.

From the mid-1940s to mid-1970s, Britain was the heaviest user of IMF resources. The word was that the IMF’s ritzy Washington HQ was paid for by the interest on UK loans.

The 1976 crisis was caused by by the belief that a country could spend its way out of a recession without any consequences. That couldn't happen again, could it.....?
