    I see that even a French MEP has called for Frexit, so deep is the adoration for the EU.

    Yes, this MEP

    He served as Vice President of the Front National from 2012 to 2017.
    Extreme right MEP calls for Frexit. I'm shocked.

    Good for you!

    Take a look at 'the sum of small things' it is all about how the rich/soon to be rich make informed, rational decisions based upon knowing where to look.

    This generally excludes twitter/facebook/snapchat so beloved of many miilenial remoaniacs.

    Oh I know where to look; that's an important thing to learn.

    I was checking we were looking at the same thing.

    Oh look, a new low even for the remainers of this thread. Comparing a British pro-leave camapaign with the rise of Naziism in prewar Germany.

    You haven't read the article. Again.
    The comparison was not drawn by a remainer, but by a prominent member of the Leave.EU campaign
    Meanwhile, Leave.EU's Andy Wigmore has been recorded appearing to compare the tactics it used to keep immigration at the top of the referendum debate to the "clever" techniques of the Nazis.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    How is that #peoplesvote #jonnynomates #groundswell thingy going?

    Last time I heard business did not want anymore referendums as the uncertainty would trash the economy.

    There's no need for another referendum.
    We all should get behind Treeza and her evaporating red lines to deliver some kind of Brexit in name only. Also known as BINO. Or BRINO.
    Disaffected Brexiteers can then claim victory and plaster the forum full of ROFL emoticons, while the wealth generating part of society (aka remainers) can get back to business as usual.
    Everybody happy! :beer:

    Show me where I said otherwise? You've not read my post "again" because I was referring to the OP, desperate to prove Brexit was part of some plan. Well it's not; it is called "democracy".

    I can see similarities. Andy Wigmore however, who ran the UKIP led Leave EU campaign seems to be in awe of the Nazi propaganda machine. Each to their own.

    "Seems to be" in the POV of a desperate remainer, determined to see intrigue and dastardly plots to justify their remainer stance where in fact there are none.

    When you mentioned it was a new low for remainers on this thread.
    Remainers never made the comparison. Andy Wigmore, Leave.EU campaigner did.
    Let's move on. ;)
