Don't think you will find I have ever used "personal gain and axe grinding" and "mealy-mouthed tripe" or anything quite as insulting in my posts. I try to reason things out rather than just attack the poster.

It does, of course, depend on the quality of the contributions. Thoughtful ones deserve, and I hope, receive respect. Others, like those from the poster who has just joined in, do not, especially as they have been preceded by a long series of similar banality.

The worst you get from me is "ridiculous" or "stupid" but only when, in my view, there are no better ways to describe things.

Those who supported Brexit certainly fall into your bias category, don't they?

Many Brexiteers knew full well that it would harm us, but still advocated it because it suited their own ends. Those ends being to restore their concept of "Sovereignty".

I am glad we have cleared that up!

Are you mad? Brexiteers knew it would harm them!
If you believe in self harm then crack on. Brexiteers wanted a change. To open up another avenue to the future. The rule of the EU wasn't going to and isn't changing. At present they are bribing member states( or what I like to call countries) knowing the small print involved. Knowing how covid has wrecked finances for years to come. Its like the old loan shark routine. They will be holding these poor people to ransom for years and know its an unstoppable mechanism. The UK hasnt been invaded for centuries. Leaving the EU is stopping that invasion metaphorically I mean.

Yours is the crap! And the insults.

I have a much longer vision than you appear capable of.

We were never going to accept being part of a federal Europe. The EU could not compel it, and we would never volunteer for it. That was always scaremongering by those who claimed the other side were using "Project Fear". What hypocrisy!

You don't suck on pasties. Only those who have lost their teeth and cannot afford false ones do that. Maybe that though is why you think you do, as it's familiar to you.

As an enthusiastic and experienced sea angler, I have a fair idea of fish behaviour.

You are like a mackerel, easily caught as they snatch at anything that comes across their line of sight.

I am more like a wary bass, who has learned to be cautious and consequently grown to a ripe old age. Not been caught yet. Except, occasionally, by the gentler sex. Never by a mackerel. Bass feed on them.

You are more like a goldfish living in a small bowl not seeing much beyond his nose and failing to understand the world outside.
