Polls count for little and a Poll of just 1,500 counts for nothing but they obviously mean something to you so you keep grasping at straws.

This poll was conducted from 5th to 8th Dec. There have been other polls since that don't show any movement to Remain.

Makes you wonder about the state of our newspapers....

Do you not feel a little embarrassed for them?.... Living in a country they hate, have the freedom to live anywhere in their EU utopia and yet remain in the UK.. ..:o

Because I liked something that was clearly intended as humour my serious posts are deemed not to be relevant. Only a complete moron would jump to that conclusion.

I agree. I don't think we should judge by what people like on here.

Someone can make a good point, just..one you might not agree with.

I've even liked some of Hamish's posts ! (Though it did require a period afterwards of laying down in a darkened room with whale music playing !)

And yet you have done just that.

It has been said before in these forums that the need to resort to abuse (as with Ballard's use of "moron") is clear evidence that the argument has been lost.

I went too far in using the term moron and for that I apologise.

I do realise that just because someone can’t differentiate between humour and seriousness doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re moronic. In a similar way, asking a question and not only ignoring the answer but adding a completely different and unrelated point as ‘proof’ does not necessarily indicate idiocy either.

Hopefully we can move on from here.

Well what a busy Sunday it has been in this thread. Even from a quick flick through the pages, it's immediately obvious that the pro-EU contingent here are more than a little ........ is "miffed" polite enough?
From "moronic" abuse to intimidation (I'm partial to an old Scotch single malt as my "surprise" FYI, ilovehouses ) and the usual deceit and distractions, IMHO if there was anyone left who was unsure of how insulting some of the pro-remainers feel they need to be in their obviously overwhelming desire to prove the glory of the EU they have been enlightened today.

Whatever happened to the debate of the forum title I don't know.
What I do know is that far too much of what I have seen posted today is not debate, it's an ill-intentioned foot-stamping temper tantrum by some pro-remainers.

Now on a slightly lighter note for once at least today, this.
"Brexit: Can Leavers and Remainers call a Christmas truce?"

Amen to that. We can but hope.


(Had you not posted the central paragraph of your post your apology may have garnered more credence BTW.)

Personally speaking, with each and every anti-Brexit utterance from senior EU officials that POV from them has become increasingly obvious.
Quite why we are wasting our time and effort when these EU officials openly state their intransigence I do not honestly know.
