Not really, because there are plenty of people who voted remain who were disappointed at the referendum result (didn't get the result that they wanted), but they have since moved on and accepted it (me included), i.e. no moaning. They also want the economy to work out fine with Brexit, surely you don't think that I want to lose lots of money, just so that I can say 'told ya', do you? I'd much rather have the cash, thanks.

Many seem to put stock in what he/she says, yet all I've seen is him/her be consistently wrong. My first introduction to Hamish's predictions was of a recession worse than that of the 2008 global financial crisis (something like 8 times worse) in the event that we left the EU.

Hamish's predictions have been bang on most of the time.
Okay, he got the referendum result wrong.
Probably he, like me, underestimated the levels of bigotry and intolerance within the UK electorate.

I agree.

I voted to remain. But the result was leave. The most important thing about democracy is that you respect the result.

So now we need to make Brexit work. I just do not understand why there are people who want it to be a disaster. I might have been disappointed by the result, but I'm bl00dy annoyed by the moaning minnies.:)

It is indeed sad, there are so many people that attribute base motives to people who don't agree with themselves.

Clearly your sentiments will count toward the rise in 'hate crimes' although probably won't be reported by decent reasonable tolerant democractic people.

Far from moaning, I'm actually quite pleased at the moment, I didn't see the falling pound boosting the ftse 100 by the degree that it did coming at all. So it was a very pleasant surprise for me, I don't pretend that I can predict what the ftse is going to do, and this was a classic reason why I know that is well beyond me. If you had asked me at the time, I would have said that a 'leave' result would have hit the ftse, not boosted it. Although I do seem to remember reading something about selling the 250, but keeping the 100 index for those concerned about a leave result.

The people you talk of are then by definition not Remoaners.

Exactly! That was my point about why it wouldn't be a good definition, remember this was the proposed definition:

Fair enough.

How about this.

Remoaner n. prej. Used to describe 48% of the British adult population as a homogeneous group by a minority of the 52%

Or the equivalent -
Racist n. prej. Used to describe 52% of the British adult population as a homogeneous group by a minority of the 48%
