social media has alot to answer for , any type of debate is whipped up into a frenzy and any opinion is shot down in flames under a barrage of abuse . lets just hope theres no more referendums any time soon . iv had 2 in 2 years and im getting sick of them
 
Try living in a country without them. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a transparent democracy that even asks it's public for opinion.
 
I agree that political discourse can turn nasty. But there is an enormous amount of frustration on the remain side because the leave campaign have not given a rational argument for their vote, other than a gamble.

Make Britain Great Again/make Britain Stringer- heading for a recession, dropping below France in world economy next year, fractured country, investments/bonds/Stirling in free fall.

£350 million each week to EU- not true.

Turkey joining the EU- impossible.

Goes on and on.

Then we are told it will get better. Based on no evidence. All the experts globally seemed to know what they were talking about.

I don't want to be arguing about it. Everyone lives different lives and have been affected in different ways. But I just can't see how Leave came to their decision.
Port Talbot voted leave to save their Steekworks. All potential buyers are no longer interested because the tiny UK market compared to Europe. The worlds biggest market.

Good to see they are so proud and confident in their opinions.............that they cover/hide their own faces!

THESE are the people we need to be kicking out.
 
Seriously edd can you please stop it with all the posts about the minority of ass holes publicity shouting their racist views as if that represents everyone who voted out.

Thats pretty ignorant and forgive me if im wrong but havent you just stated anyone with ignorant views would be banned?
 
Three simple points to consider:

1. Regulations we rely on to protect you at work are enshrined in EU law.
This Law is upheld by the European Court of justice, and provides workers with critical workers rights such as paid holiday, fair working hours,equal rights for part time workers, maternity and paternity leave. Will these rights be championed by the politicians that will be leading our country?

2. On leaving the EU our standard of living is at risk.

Uncertainty is detrimental for an economy ( as we are seeing already) reduced confidence in investment, less spending in the economy itself, possible interest rate rises, possible mortgage rate rises, prices increasing, job losses....the list goes on.

3. Public Services
Our public services have already been hit, now a weaker economy will reduce government spending, on everything from the NHS to policing and education, these areas are stretched massively already, how much more can they be stretched.

The above 3 points were sent out to members of a very large organisation that I will not name, but as guide points to bear in mind prior to voting for anyone that needed some idea on possible outcomes of a vote to leave.

Why the hell did so many people vote to leave, it astounds me!,
 
:D

Couldn't agree more - been biting my tongue on this one and I've had a few drinks tonight so no intention of saying something I'll regret later but not impressed how you are conducting yourself with this one - and I know it's your house and your rules but if you are going to keep citing extreme examples I'm quite happy to do the same but that's only going to lead to me getting banned, but the more I read the less I'm concerned about that happening.

Amen brother
 
Think its best to leave it.

Time will tell, and its not worth even more social fragmentation.

I suggest those of us that want to continue political discourse, to aim it at our representatives and not fellow collectors.
 
Any way- As monumentally heartbroken I am at the result. Its not as bad as Independence Day 2. :?
