Including you my friend, but I would be more inclined to call you a weirdo Ooh look I made a typo. Shock horror. But I suppose the fact that you choose to pick up on that as opposed to the content of my post, means you have no cogent repost. Which I take as a victory. my god you are truly po faced, You call the other members of this forum names and then take umbrage when it is pointed out jokingly that you are exactly the same You frequently show more contempt for others views than almost any other poster on this site (maybe I should say current members) You really do deserve to be called a twat.

The content of your post was fair enough, as an opinion, but it was still drivel π

First para. Agreed. But your subsequent paras are thus non-sequiturs since you are demeaning his views. Well spotted. I was doing that passive-aggressive thing which is pretty much a personal trait of mine where I start off with a statement which is benign and neutral, then gradually crank up the volume until I reach the third or forth sentence which is designed to totally humiliate and insult my opponent. And then you went and hit the bridge π

But in truth Nick, I think most of us have been swept along by the tide, to find ourselves as political flotsam tossed in a Brexit sea.
I suspect to qualify as an extremist, one has to be active, rather than merely railing against perceived injustice after the event.
I'm sure you're right about our complacency regarding European peace, but I cannot see membership of the EU as any guarantee of continuing peace. Many recent war zones were of a civil nature yet we were involved as peace keepers, and EU membership did not keep us out of Iraq or Afghanistan.
I suspect (hope) that 90% of the antagonism expressed on here, is in attempts at humour ... including yours.
I hope you enjoy your dancing show ... after all ... what's the EU Roadshow compared to Strictly Live.

I hope you enjoy your dancing show ... after all ... what' the EU Roadshow compared to Strictly Live. Rog First para - yes definitely. 2nd para. Not these days. One can be an effective extremist via a keyboard from the comfort of oneβs living room. Just look at Trump. 3rd para. Nothing is guaranteed, but being part of a European club has got to be a better bet than trying to recreate the British Empire. 4th para. Hope shared, although could be optimism. 5th para. Wilco. Currently at Star City having a modest refreshment and am a little to hot inside, whilst outside itβs snowing. Which is rather nice in a cosy sort of way!

That'll be the Trump who is doing what Europe has been demanding for decades and withdrawing US troops from foreign conflicts on the grounds that the USA should not be the world's policeman? It is kinda funny that he has attracted so much flak for this. But then that's the lynch mob mentality for you.

Although if one is going to put troops into a foreign country in a meddlesome way, with that comes some responsibility and a need to understand that having intervened and changed the dynamic, a sudden exit could make things a lot worse than if one had never intervened in the first place.

In fairness Vince ... that's not what he's attracted the flak for largely.
The threats of impeachment grow.

At the end of the day...we voted leave What's the point of a vote if we don't abide by the results ? I've voted for parties in the past which have lost general elections.Did I then get into a frenzy about another vote ?The answer is obviously not.A vote is just that & not the best of 3,4,5,6 etc... This is what is wrong with referenda. Get the plebs to vote, then we (the politicians, paid to make decisions) get to slope shoulders to the great unwashed. It then becomes a matter of which side can present the best and most convincing misinformation. Something that was wonΒ by Leave, with the Β£354 million a week bus, etc. And even then, by the thinnest of margins. Hardly a bastion of democracy to be revered. I am not particularly in favour of repeating referenda until the right answer is forthcoming, but in this case, when we voted we had no real idea of the issues. Now, we have a much better idea.

But he hasn't been responsible for a hundredth of the civilian deaths of Bush pere et fils, or Obama. Which is the greater evil?

Tough,it was up to the voters to do their own research.Just how many votes are folk supposed to get ?The vote was cast-get on with it.Have to be honest,are the French going to stop selling us vino?Will Spain refuse to sell us oranges/tomatoes etc Are other countries going to cut off their noses to spite themselves ? I doubt it somehow.
