I must say that, while I have huge sympathy for any uncertainty foreign nationals feel at the moment (although we're obviously not going to kick them out, but even the merest hint of a possibility can't be much fun), there really wasn't a choice other than to vote that way.
Pretty much anyone else moaning can fûck right off, though.
Yes people really should just know their place and quietly accept everything forced upon them :rolleyes:Quote:

Beat me to that one. Amazing the way Burney will rail against things the government has done that he disagrees with but when people protest a decision they dislike they should just 'f*ck right off' and accept it.Quote:

I think there is a serious worry for the Tories that he might actually go, but if he didn't go after the referendum, why would he go now?
You clearly understand the square root of fûck all about the issue, though. I'm mystified as to why you keep banging on about it. :shrug:Quote:

Adult argument about the way forward is fine, but simply pissing and bitching about reality and wallowing in hysterical pessimistic fantasy is just tiresome.
I do think there is a distinction between people who have valid points to make (still) and moaning, but yes, the overall tone of the latter has undoubtedly been harmful when it gives your opponents an easy target to attack and clouds the issues - and while it annoys me intensely, the Remoaners tag was a clever piece of jargon.Quote:
