Ha! Yes it appears that in my first real 'dipping my toe into the waters' of this forum I have accidently been claptoned. I should have realised what was happening as soon as he indicated that I had said the 'Troubles' had been started by the EU which was perhaps the most ridiculous thing I had ever read. My own fault for continuing past that. Lesson learnt, move on.

Snide comments and strawman arguments are Clapton forte..... You've learned fast.

Heard a number of times that EU out vote is in part a kick in the balls aimed at the elite\establishment as a reaction to the cuts\austerity imposed upon them.

More to do with the inequality of the sharing of wealth. Than Government imposed austerity. Those with capital assets can leverage up with more and more debt. To make more and more money. An unintended consequence of Central Bank policy. Squeezing savers rather than hitting the reckless borrowers. Which is creating enormous social division.
