Brexit means Brexit?

I'm not going to "debate" this with you.

This is not your personal topic, if members want to post in this thread they are free to do so - they do not need to justify themselves by "having an opinion" or otherwise.

End of.

I'm not going to "debate" this with you.

Is it the wrong forum for debate or something?

[JohnF]

It certainly isn't for that type of debate, so please don't push it.

What sort of debate - one you're not winning?

[JohnF]

The one that just earned you a 24hr holiday from CBF.

When administrators or Moderators make suggestions its worthwhile paying heed - I'll state it again, members should not feel they have to justify their participation in any topic. 

You probably got three posts more than Keith would have given you.

Now then, back on topic.  Who wants to argue for remain?

  It's a really divisive event that's split the country and there will be winners and losers financially.
 
  I hope the losers are not too badly affected in their pockets and soon pull round. I am really

  sure the future will be better for my kids and their kids once we have left, a gut feeling.

  That's my last word on this thread.

I have not been involved in this discussion but after I saw this story on F.B today in The Sun and then it was reported by other newspapers.  I would suppose a lot of British people would be amazed that someone can come from abroad because we where/are still, in the EU and get such huge benefits.  I also have been watching a programme on T.V. In the mornings about a wonderful Nun, Sister Rita, who works so hard to help underprileveged people in a suburb of Manchester.  A great programme about a really inspirational woman.   These people are struggling to keep their heads above water and I cannot collate the huge difference between these people who get very little  and this man who has been given so much. 
I am not or commenting or criticising I am merely curious

Sun headline on migrant working the system shock. What would really be interesting if the Sun had a front page story about how Rupert Murdoch works the system so that NewsCorp avoids £millions of UK taxes (NewsCorp didn't pay ANY UK tax in the 1990s). If you're looking for people working/expoliting the system, wouldn't it be better to start at the top?

Perhaps at the very top might be Lord Rothermere. The Daily Mail should surely run a front page story about how Lord Rothermere, a man who claims to love Britain so much and was born and educated here, has exploited his inherited non-domiciled status to avoid £10's millions of UK tax and like Murdoch, runs his business empire via a complex web of off-shore companies. For a man who wanted Britain to leave the EU and convinced millions to vote for his side using cheap scaremongering stories in his vile rag, doesn't anyone think it's strange that 1. he doesn't do the patriotic thing - pay his fair share of UK taxes - and 2. that his ultimate allegiance is to France? This is where The Sun and The Daily Mail get you. Throw a constant stream of Moral Outrage stories at you so you can all get worked up about the (relative) minutiae, thereby blinding you from seeing the big picture.

We've been here before with The Daily Mail at least, though, just as they try and scare you with Syrian asylum seekers today, they were doing precisely the same thing with Jewish asylum seekers in the 1930's.

The Sun wasn't of course around in the 1930's. You can only imagine...

Are you saying that everyone who voted leave is a Nazi?

If you are you really are the lowest of the low.

By the way any chance of the courtesy of an answer to my question?
