Cricket, on the other hand, will continue just as before, being played only by civilised Commonwealth countries.

Didn't see that in the T&C's or like the arguments put forward by the leave campaign, you have just made it up.
It's not about liking or disliking anything it's about necessity in trying to be about some reality.
Also no need for the 'twisted icon' but then what can one expect?

What you post about is up to you as you say.
You do come across as very definitive and aggressive in your comments on Brexit.
You are also very dismissive of the views of others,
You should not surprised if you are replied to in a forthright manner.

Thanks for your comments.
Maybe my definiteness and perceived aggression comes from a failing of mine that I like things to be right.
I don't feel that I am dismissive of anything other than with comments that with the slightest amount of research would prove them wrong.
eg the EU commission make the laws, there are countries waiting to sign free trade deals with us, that 2 people define what happens in the EU etc etc etc.
And lastly, no I am not surprised they are forthright in their manner.
In the 1930's extremists systematically resorted to terror and violence. Now, in the early 21st century, they rely on disinformation, defamation, intimidation and demonisation.
And, dare I say it, like children in a play ground, name calling.

Having sat through hours of boring meetings I have , I think, a good understanding of how things work in the EU and here in the UK.
The power of the top Civil Servants is not to be underestimated.
