Political relations between UK-EU

[metalblue]

Brexiteers - thick as fucking mince - too old and stubborn to admit they are wrong - too racist to back down - they fit into one or all of those boxes. Told my kids hang on a few years as so many will die off they can then start a movement to rejoin

I voted for brexit. Which one of those charming definitions do I fall under?

I like mince. I made a nice mince hot pot last night. And I like MANUre once a team has turned them into mince. And as for mince pies . . . . . . . scrumptious! I have a wee recipe for making mince pies out of medjool dates instead of pastry!

There’s a shock, lazy characterisation and too lazy to decide which one I am.

#metoo

I’m 50, white and by definition a little bit privileged with a bright red face that mirrors a certain meat.

I’m not racist but then again, I’m probably in no position to say that and instead should probably accept I am because I don’t agree with someone about our relationship with the EU.

Thick? Thick is venturing into this thread again ;-)

I’m pretty sure calling me too old or stubborn isn’t against the CoC so that leaves you calling me a racist then from your list of 3.

It is prejudice to hold a view that all people who voted Brexit are old, stubborn or racist when such a view isn’t supported out by any actual facts. And those who voted for Brexit are the supposed bigots.

That’s an unfair generalisation. Some Brexiteers are doubling down for sure, some are very quiet about it and there are plenty who have expressed their disappointment about the way Brexit has panned out.

Wouldn’t want to go all woke and woolly about it but I suspect there is a lot to be said about the psychology of having to reshape your view about something you were a fervent supporter of. Let’s face it the debate was and is toxic and people have been wedded to their positions for a long time

There are Brexiters who fall under the characteristics that bluethrunthru describes. Of course not every single one but enough to have carried the vote. You see them getting interviewed all the time making cunts out of themselves but it is what it is.
I'm sure there will be a day far far far down the line when they can be proud because they got their country back (whatever the fuck that means) just as long as everyone can ride out the shit show in the meantime it's all good.
I mean, you've got the Conservative government fighting your corner so what could possibly go wrong...
