    It also seems a bit rich for you to complain about Brexitard when you use the term Remoaner!:):)

    A huge difference in the two expressions as you well know.

    If you were called you a remtard you then you would be quite right.

    In your opinion.

    I do not like either, but to me "Remoaner" implies someone who continually complains about Leaving and "Brexitard" implies someone obsessed with Leaving at all costs. Neither is helpful I agree and both are used abusively.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    It is six months today since the referendum.
    Frankly if I had voted for something to happen (Brexit) I might not be angry that six months later little has happened but I might be slightly irritated.
    As a remainder I am happy that Britain can enjoy the benefits of being a member of the EU for six months longer than I expected.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    whereas "Brexitard" implies someone obsessed with Leaving at all costs....someone like you perhaps?

    Of course we can leave the EU with a sensible exit agreement that minimises the impact on both parties.

    No I did not notice it (where?)
    Not that it matters, unless you can show that your interpretation is any more correct than mine.

    I can only assume that you are being obtuse rather than stupid.

    The suffix "-tard" is used to indicate "retard" as you well know.

    No it's not.

    A 'petard' for example is not a !!!!!! pet.

    You brexiteers are such snowflakes. :rotfl:
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Are you suggesting that Remain voters refuse to accept something even when everybody else has agreed & moved on? :)
