Peronally I can't understand why there is so much interest in such a boring and complicated subject..

The whole debacle has turned into a kind of Trump v Clinton presidential campaign. Remainers think all brexiteers are bigots, and brexiteers think all remainers are snowflake SJWs.

When it comes down to it nobody has a clue !!!!!! is going on, and that includes the tory buffoons currently making a dogs dinner out of the whole process.

Just let 'em get on with it..Then come back and talk about it!

It will be a far more interesing subject when our departure from Europe results in the UK becoming a nation of starving bigots having to rely on foodbanks run by snowflakes..:cool:

I agree, the subject has been done to death, I think everything has been said on the topic, its now repetitive and becoming a tad boring.

Yet you still felt a need to click, read and the post on thread with Brexit in the title.

What's wrong with those who want to discuss Brexit doing so?

I click on 'em cos I'm a masochist and I find clicking on to boring brexit threads sexually arousing..What's your excuse?:cool:

Seriously though nothing wrong with clicking on to brexit threads at all..I'm amazed that people have even the slightest inkling of what brexit is all about, over and above leaving Europe..

All the forensic twaddle makes no sense at all to me. I'm sure it's all very important. However speaking personally I would rather engage in a discussion on the merits of a combi boiler over a conventional boiler..

Whatever floats your boat I guess..:cool:

Please do. It would genuinely help me.

Firstly the thread title said 'none political', secondly where did I say in my post that others shouldn't discuss Brexit? I said 'personally'. tut tut do read carefully before you respond to a poster. thanks.

Indeed.

What's important to remember is that there are three groups of people here. Those who want to talk about Brexit and voted leave. Those who want to talk about Brexit and voted remain. And the largest group of all, those who voted for either or neither and are simply sick to death of talking about it. This is one of those very rare threads related to the topic where the latter group might actually want to say something.

I find it strange that threads here in DT have been merged and yet in the part of the forum where I've seen the most .......... is "trouble" too strong a word? .......... okay PPR's recently, namely the "Debate House Prices & the Economy", all the separate Brexit threads are still active & TBH full of little other than propagandising, trolling or bickering which is why some posters have moved camp, so to speak.

Perhaps if the forum team are unhappy with the number of threads covering, as Hamish correctly says, the huge variety of aspects encompassed by Brexit the forum team might find it beneficial to have a new sub-thread entitled "everything Brexit" or similar?
At least all Brexit discussion would be under one subforum rather than offending users in other subforums like DT.

It's an interesting idea but I don't think it's necessary.

The entire point of the two boards you mention - 'Discussion Time' and 'Debate House Prices & the Economy' - are to discuss and debate matters like current affairs, economics, social issues, politics, etc, and Brexit related topics fall firmly under those headings already.

It would seem a bit overkill to then split them further into sub boards discussing the various aspects of Brexit when in reality something Brexit related will likely be mentioned in the majority of threads on political issues, social issues, economics issues and current affairs for the foreseeable future... As Brexit will have significant effects on most of those topics for the foreseeable future.

Best thing would seem to be just leave the threads alone and appreciate there are many aspects to Brexit that really need separate threads to discuss them in.

I am in the camp its happened, decison made lets get on with it, but that doesn't mean I am no longer interested on what people (from boths side) have to say on the subject... up to a point.

That point for me is 3 or 4 pages worth, anything more than that I get fed up reading and switch off.

Most of the separate threads cover the main views in the first few pages after that you tend to get more of the point scoring posts that aresn't so relevant to the original post. I don't want to have to trawl through all that to find the next interesting new topic within a large thread.

I agree there sould be a sub forum set up, people are going to be taking about Brexit for years, it would be nice to keep the threads separate and in a place where people can look if they want or ignore if they don't.
