Off the top of my head I would say that’s illegal. :open_mouth:

On the M25 between M3 and M40 there’s a large Brexit party board. Likely on private land. But only one I’ve seen out in the wild.

Probably some local swivel eyed loon stuffing envelopes, but yep I’d say it’s illegal (if true of course) but I don’t see anything happening in terms of sanctions. Might be different if it was a party with an opposing view (my supposition obvs).

From what I can gather based on a random sample of FB posts on The Waterside there’s a level of support for Brexit. Mainly from people who I recognise. as the ā€œcool kidsā€ at school and never moved away. Not sure if it’s even worth trying to read anything in to that tbh.

Southampton in general is a hive of Leave sentiment. Nice job on summarising the contempt that Remain voters feel for Leave voters though. You know best, of course, not like those losers that failed to move away from where they grew up.

And yet Remainers will cry about the ā€œdivisivenessā€ caused by Brexit :slight_smile:

That response was beneath you Pap. You are just as petty and vindictive as the other side you portray- if not more so - only you dress it up in faux intellectual argument. Quite disappointing really, but hey I’m clearly not as clever as you…ffs.

It really wasn’t any of those things. It poured scorn on your notion that because people hadn’t moved out of Waterside like you, they’re probably illiterate scum.

And by extension, that’s why the thick fuckers voted Leave, right?

You have every right to express that opinion. I have every right to show it up for what it is.

Boundaries, boundaries. The waterside isn’t Southampton (as in it’s council boundaries).

I am not sure that Cobham’s post was particularly contemptuous or you know bestish. I suppose it’s all in the eye of the beholder and where each person now stands politically.

Plus that referendum has caused divides, hasn’t it? It worries me that people I know will vote for Farage’s party. Like a ronseal tin it would appear that’s the best bet for people who voted to leave but giving more legitimacy to him is concerning.

And as I said, faux intellectual clap-trap

Because said tory posters are bankers and want to remain to keep little Jonnies and Saffrons future rosy.

About as misleading as it gets.

It will be interesting to see how the votes pan out on Thursday. A lot of polls that crop up on my twitter timeline suggest The Brexit Party will get the biggest vote share, with Lib Dems second. If Brexit Party candidates follow Farage’s example of work ethic, they’ll show up in Brussels once in a blue moon and spend what little time they are there, either in the pub or filling in their expenses forms.

That’s the whole point of them though isn’t it. They are there solely to disrupt rubber stamping of the Diktak’s policies.

Uhm… you can’t really criticise the EU for being undemocratic and then not take part in the democratic process that you are paid to… it’s why we have had little influence in the EU - because we negotiated massive rebates and vetos, and send cunts like Farage to the parliament who then don’t do an active role …

It’s more accurate to say that the European Parliament has never had any power.

Farage could be debating legislation 24/7 for all the good it will do.

The Parliament has no power. The things you say are negotiated there are not negotiated there. They simply say yes or no to whatever the European Commission proposes, and they rarely say no.

Apart from it’s not really a democratic process is it? The EU that is

Well it depends on what you mean… the major spending and projects is as you say decided by commission, but then again this does ensure a consistent process and longer term programs that are not at the whim of party policy… we talk as if everything must be democratic… it does not need to be. Work hierarchies are not democratic for example. Just beach its a public service does not mean its always the best way… Our ā€˜democracy’ has meant many of our long term infrastructure projects needed never happen… look at the state of our hospitals, schools, transport networks? Struggling to get off the ground as not prioritised by short term government…

Yeah, but it’s important to have some democratic control in the big stuff, like food supply, taxation rates and foreign policy.
