    So I suppose there will be no negotiation until the EU bows to the UKs demands. The UK that has stuck our middle finger up at our partners and now foot stamps until it gets what it wants.

    most rational people would take a view that as part of a negotiation process both sides offer up and accept some areas of compromise.

    You however seem to think that it's an all or nothing scenario. Even worse than that, you then apply your delusion onto everyone else.

    Let me spell it out for you

    *** Everyone starts off asking for everything they want ***


    I wonder what Gererali would think of these views of yours (leave voters). He may think they are idiotic.

    he may indeed, but since his opinion is worth exactly the same as a poor, uneducated, racist northerner then I won't worry about it.

    Sure.

    No, absolutely untrue. I'm still waiting for you to apologise for the last two times you've lied about stuff I've said. I guess I'll be waiting a lot longer as the list of your lies grows.

    Well done, you are starting to understand. So, the EU has started their end of the whole process by asking for what they want, which is that the UK invoke article 50. Let us see how the UK counters.

    Not the

    "ungrateful UK" (like Spain);

    the vengeful, itching to make life miserable for a post-Brexit Britain (like France);

    the panicked, worrying about the imminent demise of the rest of the EU (such as Italy);

    the media divas/politicians without real influence (such as the president of the European Parliament or the foreign ministers of various countries including Germany) who hog the headlines, making unhelpful waves.


    Shows how interconnected Europe really is. Or should I say is not.

    Some Little Englanders took these silly comments as an affront to their national pride and good evidence we shouldn't be in a club with that type.

    Of course when 'we' engage in something similar it's an evidenced based piece of silliness and a good negotiating tactic.

    You are very quick to point out your perceptions of others inadequacies.

    You attempted to portray that I was twisting words when in fact I was making an exteremly simple statement regarding the culpability of the parents of 18-24 year olds. After it was made clear you've since failed to respond. How can you then chastise others and demand apologies from them?

    You were twisting words and I won't apologise for pointing that out. I gave up on that particular argument since we were going round in circles. Would you like to rehash the entire thing or I can summarise:

    Older people: Kids these days are messed up
    Me: You guys raised them, take some responsibility

    MrGringe has lied three times about stuff I've said and again I'm not going to apologise for pointing this out. If you want, why don't you ask him to explain why he lied? I assume you're not neutral in this so you won't.

    Regardless of what MrGringe has or has not done, I've not checked. It's obvious that you're the one twisting words since I've clearly stated that 18-24 year olds are old enough to make their own choices on that topic, there is no responsibility to be taken, by that age they are their own people and make their own choices. I'm sure you don't blame your parents for not teaching you to eat well if you decide to gorge on takeaways and put on a few kilos. Or if you decided to go out and get drunk or take drugs. All of these would be yours choices by adulthood.

    Edit: on a currently topical note, would you suggest Tony Blair's parents take responsibility for him taking the decision to go to war in Iraq? You need not answer, it seems fairly obvious.

    I only brought this up because I take exception when you're dishing out recriminations without acknowledging your own.

    I'm not a baby boomer and I voted out. Most of the people I know who voted out are younger than I am and most of the people I know who voted stay are older.

    Why do people keep believing in polls when they keep being proved so inaccurate?
