I would just like one thread for brexiters only please.

I voted leave. I would vote leave again and again and again. There has been nothing to change my mind. I have been hardened by the views of remainers.

I would really like to talk to other brexit minded posters.
Thanks.

A bit of me thinks that if we are going to leave the Union, the Tories really ought to be the ones to take the stick, as they will have caused the ensuing and looming disaster.

I’m not sure it would be right for another political party to be left with the mess, just as someone always has to clear up after Johnson.

What I am sure of though is that once people understand what has happened the Tories will be out of office for a very long time.

If they win this GE WWM2 the Tories will have been in office for a very, very long time!
In which case, in a few years when there is another election it will be a certainty (under a new LOTO) that Labour will get in next time, simply because that’s what always happens when one party has been in power for ages.
Perhaps by then, the LP will have learned a lesson.

If, on the other hand, that Corbyn wins the GE, then at the next one the Tories will certainly get back in......to clear up his mess.

I don't think it is courteous or correct to suggest that only people with a certain viewpoint may post on a particular thread.
absent I think this thread was meant to be a haven of peace for leavers who have been bombarded with rants on every other thread by remainers, accusing anyone who doesn't agree with them of having been conned or duped, or being stupid. And incessantly extolling the wonders of being part of the EU. I gave up with several threads because of all their aggression and negativity.

Varian: Why do they believe theses lies???

Children believe in Father Christmas because they want to. We have a PM who has promised to take us out of the EU. That's all that matters. Once we have left we have huge opportunities – to make a mess of things.

As this is a thread for Brexiteers I'm sure they would like to know that Farage will be on ITV Thursday evening at 7.30pm in a leader's interview.

We’ve already made a mess of things It’ll just be more mess. Farage on TV - pass the sick bucket, thought we’d got rid of that frog face from the airwaves.

Chestnut Wed 20-Nov-19 16:04:17

crystaltipps using the kind of language that has caused so many problems in our society lately. I am no fan of Corbyn, Sturgeon or Swinton but I have never said anything nasty about any of them. Wash your mouth out, girlie!

At long last people are now understanding what will affect them more, and that is a failing NHS, not Brexit.

The NHS is the biggest concern for the voter

In my defence chestnut I’m not convinced that calling Farage “frog face” is the sort of language that has caused many problems in our society. It’s not a death threat, a rape threat, a racist slur -but IMO an accurate and humorous comment on his appearance, I am sure he is the subject of far worse comments . Some people are too easily offended- pass the smelling salts.

Comments about sick buckets and frog face are just infantile, unpleasant and unnecessary, especially as this is a thread for Brexiteers to get away from this kind of nonsense. It seems remainers just can't stop themselves from being nasty. As I said, I've never made such childish remarks about those I dislike.

Dear Brexiteers

If you want to get away from nonsense why don't you try some of the other forums. There's lots of interesting stuff on them.

As for expecting Remainers to stay away from a thread entitled "For Brexiters Only" - you cannot be serious!! I don't see the point of requesting a Brexiteers only thread. No fun on that.

Oopsminty Sun 24-Nov-19 22:19:09

There was a Remainers thread first

Pantglas2 Sun 24-Nov-19 22:24:51

Nope - Barmeyoldbat didn’t start For Remainers Only thread until 22 October.....

varian Sun 24-Nov-19 22:25:08

I don't think so.

varian Sun 24-Nov-19 22:26:29

Pantglas is correct
