Brexit, the economy and house prices part 5

'I reckon the brexiteers are far more worried about it than most hence the classic overcompensation.'

What evidence is there for this?

March 29 2019 is going to be one helluva party!

I will be getting out my 9 yard Union Jack!

Quite a bit of evidence right there. Classic overcompensation.

So my enthusiasm is your overcompensation?

A simpler explanation might be that I think Brexit is brilliant and you do not.

What a negative POV everything seems to be half glass empty, have you no passion for your country? .

Is iro short for irony?

Liberal Unionists were/are Classical Liberals who split from the original Liberal Party over Ireland.

They are not modern so called liberals who tend to be very illiberal and controlling of people's lives.

The Liberal Unionist wing of the Conservative Party values merit over birthright (so that excludes Cameron) and freedom of the individual over the power of the state and I am proudly one of them!

StillRemainer explanations for voting for Brexit that I have come across:

Madness
Xenophobia
Racism
Islamaphobia
Thick
Old
Stupid
Northern
'Left behinds'
Neo Liberals with money offshore
Lexits looking for a cold, wet Venezuela
Victims of Putinbots
Victims of clever algorithms
Not Graduates
'Im alright jack' Baby Boomers
People to stupid to be allowed the vote
'Little Englanders' often made by 'little EUlanders'
English exceptionalist
Not Scottish
Not Irish
Not Young
Not from an ethnic minority
Not from ex voters of the Lib Dems
Not from the Metropolitan elite
Facebook users who did not realise that liking postings about whippets, pints of heavy, steam engines and Rugby League meant they were giving away data ...............

All of which shows that the 'Ad hominem' is just too tempting for those who believe they have the right to ignore the 17.4 million who voted to Leave plus all those voted to remain but believe that when democracy has taken place it should not be destroyed.

Sajid wants out CU.

Good news, glad Rudd went, hopefully Hastings will get rid of her too, a remainer in a solid Bexit seat not likely to survive (please note Soubry).

Nice to see Arlene getting her teeth into Barnier, think she will be going 'a la carte' and finishing off Juncker, Verhofstadt etc. (note to the mods I do not actually mean 'getting her teeth into Barnier' rather I am using it as a figurative image in much the same way as a cartoonist might draw it. I am, if you allow, painting a picture in words in much the same way as JRM placing the toes of remainers close to the fire did not mean JRM actually placing their toes close to the fire rather I am using it as a figurative........)

The best element of the election was the increased importance of the DUP for Liberal Unionist Tories like me.

It is somewhat ironic for Foster to have a pop at Barnier for the EU not being an honest broker, given the situation in NI at present where the UK government certainly is not an "honest broker" as it is utterly dependant on DUP votes to survive. Some might say that is a rather more pressing concern for NI than the EU pointing out that the current UK redlines can't be squared with an open border.

Maybe you're anxious about the rug being pulled from under you which is why you're fervently counting down to a date when nothing will happen other than you'll stop feeling quite so insecure. Then I noted the flag worship - that always rings alarm bells.

I'm sorry but any more is chargeable.

You need to have a word with that small group of people who try to photobomb every interview from College Green. They have more flags than actual people:rotfl:

There's no desperate baying of remainers. Just one poster pointing out to another the contradiction that keeps being perpetuated.

i.e. we've got a great hand and the EU are bluffing so we'd get a great deal to leave but to stay there would be a long list of unpalatable conditions.

Brexit is going to happen. I reckon the brexiteers are far more worried about it than most hence the classic overcompensation.

I had quite a long-winded post prepared & just deleted it.
Why?
Because to put it simply it's obvious that you and your remainer buddies here are no more than sh*t-scared of Brexit and will remain so until long after it has happened regardless of anything.
For no other reason than because you don't want it, since no other reasonable excuse has surfaced so far.

Yes. Poundland isn't going to have a can of Kestrel lager unsold.

Because of all the remainers buying up all the stock to drown their sorrows?

Good to see we are exposing that whole 'we the remainers are the liberal minded sensible ones trying to explain to the 17.4 million leavers their folly' myth.

Note the confusion over the word 'Liberal' to me this means being allowed to get on with your own life, obviously to others it means an unelected EU official telling Arlene Foster (who perhaps has the single greatest personal mandate in the UK) what to do.

You really could not make it up!
