    There are almost 2000 pages of the same insults on the Loony Thread!

    https://www.migranthelpuk.org/ for me I think.

    But as my contact with real live money is pretty minimal so my donation will be piffling I pledge to add another 9 non brexity 50 pences to the tainted one for every one I get my hands on until 31st Jan 2021.

    I wont waste my time, and certainly dont see the benefit, giving my own rational when it is only being demanded here to fuel some rabid remainers argument.

    There’s no shame in not being able to. No other ‘rabid’ leavers can either.

    Says the poster using the same insult over, and over, and over again. Yawn. How long til your next tantrum about not being able to voice your opinions, then deliberately not doing when given the chance?

    At least get some new material. I miss DTF…

    I wont waste my time, and certainly dont see the benefit,

    Engaging in discussion and putting your point across, something you’ve previously complained that you cannot do because of all those nasty leavers, is a pointless waste of time. Yet popping up every six posts to add little other than calling everybody names is a valuable application of your time and highly beneficial?

    Over on the “loony thread” there’s been talk of leavers going quiet as they’ve been “frightened off” by the nasty remoaners. I rather think they’ve gone quiet because they’ve run out of things to say. The first half of that thread was full of leavers disseminating misinformation, half-truths and outright lies, followed by remainers pointing this out (with supporting evidence). Once they realised that it was not in fact an echo chamber and they couldn’t get away with it they gave up.

    And I rather suspect, my dear fellow, that that is why you’re reluctant to answer the question. Deep down you know that any arguments you could come up with are built on sand and you’d rather sit there safe in your own beliefs than have that pointed out to you. For years we’ve been asking what those “brexit benefits” are and not one person has managed to come up with any. Which, y’know, is a shame if they want us to “get behind them” as some reasoned arguments might actually convince us to do that. I’d change allegiances in a heartbeat if I genuinely believed we’d be better off.

    you’re starting to sound like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

    Thanks for noticing. That was intentional. (-:

    Best suggestion I’ve seen so far is donate them to a refugee charity.

    Reminds me of that joke about a Barry Manilow “Concert for Ethiopia(*)”. The Ethiopians called back – “we’re not that hungry”

    I’m disappointed by this thread.

    I came here to find out the stw position on the debate that’s split the nation and turned friends into enemies.
    “Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations.” Okay, colours to the mast: it needs an Oxford comma.

    irrational beliefs, and exacerbating their already fragile MH

    So after politely asking you not to make the link between mental health and political views and explaining why it is not acceptable in this age, you still do it. In fact in your very first post after my comment.

    Classy.

    Carry on the personal attacks my friend. It says far more about your mindset than mine.

    Can I lift the mood back to frivolous stupidly?

    How about, if one had two of those Brexy 50p coins, one might download Ode to Joy to get it to Brexit number one?

    Essentially stupid, but fun.

    poopscoop – chill fella – there have been no personal attacks on or aimed at yourself. If it helps why not write down the things that confirm and deny your beliefs. You could then work on identifying your negative or inaccurate thinking in regards to these and the personal attack you perceive being aimed at you.

    Yep, I did say that on the Sensible Thread.

    You betcha I am a rejoiner, in the absence of any convincing, rational argument to the contrary how could I be anything else?

    That’s logic, is that.

    Talking of which, mooman, is there actually any danger of you having a go at explaining the logic of your support for Brexit? The floor is still open, no debate has been shut down. There is literally nothing stopping you.

    Three and a half years and you can always get to this point with that most basic of questions – “why?”

    Bit sad really.

    Thanks for the advice but I’m perfectly “chilled” thank you. I’m guessing you mean “pull yourself together” in reality, you know because of my “fragile MH” and all?

    As for writing down my “beliefs” in order to correct the error of my ways? Your continued linking of political leanings and mental health is obviously in my imagination you mean? You’re aware depression isn’t linked to irrational thought processes right?

    My goodness, can you be anymore patronising?

    I think they got bored then move on … it’s already old news or history hence not much response. I occasionally drop by the thread but it is soooo boring so just move on.

    Yes, for some but I think he (my friend) really dislikes the EU with passion for whatever reasons …

    I certainly don’t agree with personal attacks, although in the heat of the moment they do happen. Something I’ve done myself and then regreted.
    But a link to Brexit anxiety and mental health shouldn’t be a taboo subject. It is real and should be discussed. There’s loads of stuff out there about it. A quote ans the article it was taken from.”

     “I think that people who already suffer and are being treated for generalised anxiety disorder or depression find that politics or societal problems worsen their mood and worsen their symptoms.

    Not everyone is a troll because they don’t want or can’t be asked to response.

    I think many might disagree but nevermind.

    No wonder the world is laughing at the UK !

    Two groups of people that laugh at UK.

    1. First group – the ones that want to see the break up of EU and UK. They laugh at the disunity.
    2. Second group – The ones that consider UK silly as a country to let another system impose on their own. They laugh because they think UK is incapable of governance.

    Yet another delicious irony of Brexit – lots of it was down to misplaced, chest thumping nationalism yet all it has brought in an international sense has been richly deserved ridicule.

    Apart from Big Ol’ Orange Uncle Don, of course. But the ‘special relationship’ is about to get a lot more ‘special’. Or at least that is what Uncle Don will be whispering as he lubes up.

    It’s not taboo, and it should be discussed – however, note that mooman wasn’t discussing mental health, he was using it as an insult.

    Finally, there seems to be one benefit from leaving the EU – we won’t be adopting the appalling Copyright laws that the EU are introducing. The irony there is that the U.K. government were all for it and voted for it.

    If only there could have been some other way we could have avoided such a terrible disaster other than via brexit. Like, maybe, not actually voting in favour of it in the first place.

    Roll on Friday, we’ll finally be free of all those foreign laws that we asked for in the first place. **** me sideways.

    Plus, y’know, the government has been pursuing the Chinese model of the Internet for years. When we leave we can happily toss out EU legislation and introduce something worse in a heartbeat without further checks and balances. This is an administration which wanted to ban secure encryption and thought that an “IP address” referred to intellectual property.

    I’m amazed you’ve never mentioned it before and have never used the rest of the Internet.

    In seriousness, one of the few small positives I can see to brexit is doing away with the “this site uses cookies” bollocks. Every site uses cookies, it’s not 1998 any more.
