Should be plenty of jobs in Shirley High Street at all those Polish Deli’s one you kick them all out…

I didn’t know that the RSPB were experts on British and European economies.

Put a link to their research on the economic possibilities please. I would like to read that.

It’s not an obsession, more an observation, and a crude one at that.

I am absolutely not arsed about the votes I get. I exclude myself from end of year awards. Not sure how that tallies with your opinion.

It’s not an opinion but an observation. You’ve mentioned this is passing and I, for one, am perplexed by your seemingly frquent mention of upvoting.

It’s an observation that you keep making, to the point where it seems it does bother you. If you’re not arsed about it, stop mentioning it every other post, it’s making you look childish.

Man up. Get on with it. Create the political pressure to get these fucks out of office. Be a part of the fucking solution instead of an incorrect Cassandra regurgitating the agenda of the vested interests trying to halt the most democratic decision in British history.

Stop cheer leading for Vichy England.

Ha, you reckon the alternative would be any better? You’re fucking joking. What do we have? One bunch of hopeless fools or another bunch. Both will cock it up. In any case, they are in power - that’s the democratic decision. I have to accept it, don’t I? And you should stop moaning about our lords and master because they were elected into power. If people had wanted Corbyn’s bunch, they would have voted for his MPs. But they didn’t. So, off we march…

And, it’s no good saying ‘man up’. What does that even mean? Should I not worry about my children’s future?

And what does Vichy England mean? Care to explain? Are we occupied by the Nazis?

I’m going down home bargains to see if they’ve got any bunting.

By the look of the Tory party and it’s paid for allies possibly.

I do think the alternative would be better. That’s why I do a bit more than “moaning”.

You don’t have to be occupied by the Nazis to be a Vichy Englander. You just need to accept a settlement mandated by a foreign state, something all Remainers implicitly do, over and above a domestic democratic vote.

We’ve lost posters off the site through this thread, and I took a month off posting earlier this year to tweak the stats and cheer up @pap as he kept attacking me for getting upvoted.

Last month he started again so I took another short break, it’s a crazy notion to suggest that people are looking for upvotes when they post on this the most toxic thread on the forum that has turned off 80% of posters - it could never be confused with a popularity contest.

But for anyone looking to harvest upvotes across a wide range of threads I’ve put together the following template with one snappy sentence that should tick most boxes, I use it for most of my visits.

When I was stuck in traffic behind bloody immigrants in an area of Southampton where there used to be really good pubs (see attached nostalgic picture), I had the thought that Forster’s been shakier than Stevens since that failed manager Ronald the clown picked him - the flat-footed keeper’s been as useful as Harry Redknapp’s dog at an accountancy conference held in the crumbling ruin of lowly League One Fratton Park, a ground that could probably be demolished by one well-struck shot from Rickie Lambert/Matt Le Tissier/Charlie Wayman*, as that lovely man Nigel Adkins said to me before our forthcoming cup win, when we were discussing real ale now being available under standing areas in the revamped Northam, where the away fans have been kettled into a tiny corner so they can’t even see the proposed topless dance displays at halftime.

*choose target age group for best result.

Fksake, RB.

It takes two to tango, and you have spent over a year attacking Brexiters en-masse.

Sounds like competing opinions are attacks now, of which you are the victim. Is that genuinely how you’re playing this?

Don’t suppose it matters. You’ll get your Eurovision bloc votes.

I’ve not attacked Brexiteers en-masse, some had personal reasons for that choice and I’m cool with that, some keep their opinions to themselves and get on quietly, others come on here all guns blazing looking for trouble - and they find it.

You’ve attacked me personally, and despite me trying to make light of it, you’re still obsessed with slagging off upvoting which is ironically your own democracy in action.

This discussion is like Palace in August and September, pointless - so I’ll leave you to chop up and slag off other people’s Brexit views for a bit.

No? This thread is littered with facetious submissions decrying the stupidity of the 52%. There was a period just after the poll in which people were being blamed for voting the way they did, and any future consequences. I’m glad most of that is over.

I’ve missed boxing these past years.

Always kicked off too late at night down here thanks to time zones.

But now I get to watch bare knuckled fighting every day of the week on here and FB and Twitter

196 pages of tedious disagreement.

And the rest.

This ain’t the only Brexit thread in town.

I think Hague might have the measure of it

'Coz the first one wasnt hate filled and divisive?

And of course, as it always beats repeating, Leave were already calling for a second vote if it was a narrow win.

Fwiw I don’t really think there should be another vote, though a vote on the actual terms I would favour. I ain’t hopeful of that happening though, tbh.

At the risk of envoking paps wrath, I think the in/out vote was stupid, and ultimately solves nothing. I profoundly disagree with him on a number of issues relating to the whole topic, but I don’t see his reasons for leaving being the same for leaving as many other leavers.

Which I fear may end up meaning we land on an outcome that hardly anyone (leave or remain) is happy with.

In/out guaranteed pure PR and an assured majority position.
