They want to take Gibraltar in a land grab, doing their best to reignite northern Irish problems.
Not a peaceful benign organisation at all IMO

I've heard it all now. This is the greatest nonsense I've heard in a long time. Don't know why I bother coming on this site. It's just an echo chamber, people listening to their own views and those of people they agree with. The people in Catalonia brutalised! If you want to go down that road, look to your own history. And the EU wants to reignite the Irish problem do they? Who was it made a pact with the Unionists? Do you really believe in what you are saying? Is there no reality check, no ability to question yourself, or history, or the current political situation and come up with an OBJECTIVE comment. Please! And by the way, I suppose the EU is responsible for circles in corn fields too. Give me a break.

If you like seeing elderly and women dragged from voting booths by their hair them yes it wasn't brutal at all. Me I'm a peaceful person and expect better from my leaders, they even bought in police from other regions because local police refused to handle them harshly enough !

Actually, I do feel rather sorry for you. You lost, and you are finding it so difficult to accept that, especially as there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it...
...other than whinge about it.

Since the result and having heard and seen the attitudes of many Brexiters, the complicated mess of the negotiations and the grim future that Brexit will condemn us to, my issues with the EU have paled into insignificance and I’m now 100% in favour of Remain.
That you can do nothing about it now, I mean.

Actually, what Julie said is absolutely correct.

Re: Brexit referendum, have you changed your mind?
Now that the lying, scheming, conniving brexiteers have been shown to have illegally overspent during the referendum, in all fairness, we ought to either re-run that referendum or alternatively organise a new referndum when the scumbag 'nasty party' finally disclose the terms of their surrender, I mean negotiations.28-03-2018, 12:25 PM

Thank God the founding fathers of America were not as blinkered as the Little Englanders are today. There'd be no United States if they were. We'd still have New England, New Hampshire, Texas, etc, and all probably at war with one another.28-03-2018, 03:07 PM
