Why are "Leavers" so angry?

Using your analogy I see it as the toddler being told that he could have whatever he wants for tea and then being told there is no tea......

I think the ones who shout out about it are just naturally angry and aggressive. Most of them can't even string together a coherent sentence, so I wonder if they really understand what they're angry about. It's a betrayal of democracy, establishment facists and a global conspiracy, innit?

Empty vessels !

Pantglas2 only one party is saying "No tea" so why would you say that?

Apart from the pound shorters and hedgies etc., they seem like angry people who were promised a chance to have their own way with the bonus of a gold plated unicorn. I don't think they regret their decision. They're still angry because they realise they were conned, but they're so programmed for Brexit, they can't change track.

Maybe some of them have finally realised they've been treated like useful vote fodder.

because they all promised tea?

There's always been aggression over differing politics/religions and, as if it mattered, there always will be.

. They want the old days back. I think. Great back in Britain, ect. those days have gone but some of those who voted leave think Brexit will do that not seeing the bigger picture.

Pantglas?

I disagree. Unless alcohol fuelled, I've never witnessed such aggression from so many people.

Maybe the aggression comes from the frustration of being told to vote for what you want and then being told actually because the outcome isn’t what we wanted we’ll disregard your vote.

Trisher I feel so distraught about Brexit that I can hardly bear to look at the news at the moment but I totally acknowledge and agree with what you say.

My answer is false news and disinformation and powers behind Brexit that are able to finance the economic breakdown they're looking for, for their own reasons.

This matter should never have been put to the population as a referendum and as a simple in/out question. I now feel that the population of this country are so poorly educated, that our media, especially the tabloids, are so manipulative and allowed to print outright lies without censure, and that we now have a world where anyone can say what they like, make up what they like, challenge what they like. For example, the man reported a while ago challenging Tony Blair and saying he knew as much as he so his view was equally valid.

I found myself in a car with two older women recently and at the mercy of their outrage about a delayed Brexit. 'I was even a Remainer' declared one of them, with a dribble of rage, 'but now I see how the EU are bullying us, that I just want out'. Where did she get her information from? You can guess. As far as I can see, the EU are doing their best to wait politely while the UK implodes.

It's outrageous that these kind of people think they know what they know, despite the fact that they are flying in the face of so many reports by authoritative bodies and businesses setting out with great clarity the disaster a No Deal will lead to, never mind Brexit itself.

I despair, I've started thinking that rule by an educated elite would be preferable to so-called People Power. I fear we are on our way to a Fascist state and I feel helpless.

Strange isn’t it? I see the angry ones as the remainers ( certainly on GN.)
They throng onto the political threads and spend half their day typing insults to anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Which is why it’s almost always remainers who start these angry Brexit related threads.
This particular OP is designed from the off to be angry and contentious.
Take a chill pill.

Haven't you just made yourself the very kind of poster you've just criticised Lemongrove?

No.

I can understand that NanaandGrampy, but have you honestly not considered what the outcomes will be? Leavers were sold a con.

Exactly growstuff, the post of N&G shows the kind of limited thinking that should never have been allowed out on the streets. 40 years of a complicated relationship, both trading and cultural, and these people think it can be dismantled with the wave of a wand and with no consequences. I can't bear it.

growstuff
Keep going...

lemon you can throng along with the best of them.

N and G makes a fair point. Could anybody outline simply what they perceive as being the advantages of leaving please?

But pantglas if mummy and daddy promise tea and daddy makes it but mummy doesn't that still doesn't mean no tea!

.....but I am not at all angry.

If you all want MPs to calm down with their language and attitudes, then start here on GN by doing the same....just a thought.
