"No, me neither. Reminds me of the old Spitting Image parody song about nice South Africans. I just can’t be doing with the hate, the divisiveness, the Jingoism and worst of all the assumption that being a thoroughly unpleasant person is somehow patriotic." So you have met the 50+ percent of the voting population that voted to leave and they were all really horrible people. You must really get about  | |||

"I've met great people who voted for out. It's worth remembering that many of them have since become very unhappy with how things are going though " 
Same.
My dad voted leave; though he was sold on starting with the Norway or Icelandic arrangement.
He now says that if they were a vote again (not that he advocates for it) he'd spoil the vote or vote remain. Unless there were specific and approved models proposed.
But still ive met perfectly nice 'all out' brexit voters. We usually find there are more important things we agree strongly on.
Same as always as one pointed out; the loudest and most angry steal the attdntion, which takes away from correct discussion and consultation of everyone else. | |||

Even your fellow remainers don't agree with you, perhaps you are the thoroughly unpleasant person for trying to label 17 million people so negatively!  | |||

I know plenty of nice remainers and brexitiers but i cant say the same for the majority of those contributing to these brexit threads and the nastiest seem to be the remainers. | |||

Some (not all) of these so called 'liberal' remainers really have shown their true colours since the result of the referendum was announced and it's not pretty, the mask has well and truly slipped. | |||
"I've met great people who voted for out. It's worth remembering that many of them have since become very unhappy with how things are going though " Well of course they are! They voted out! Not nearly out, but mostly in and its gonna cost a fortune! Just "out". | |||

'Tolerant and liberal-minded', is that you describing yourself there? | |||
"................. We respected each others views and all wanted Brexit to be best for Britain. And making stuff up to prove a point? I can just imagine a group of tolerant, liberal-minded remain voters thinking that Brexit will be best for Britain." The "liberal minded" seem to be by far the most intolerant of all, and this thread pretty much proves it. | |||

When the policies followed for decades lead to division and impoverishment of the many to fund conspicuous consumption, gluttony and hoarding of wealth by the few then clearly the answer being trotted out is wrong.
Just my opinion, for what it is worth."Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's. As you well know we disagree on most things political, but at least you stick your opinion without getting nasty or personal (OK you've had a couple of minor infringements but I'll forgive you)
For many others on here I can't say the same. Maybe it's a generation thing.
It seems to me that politics in general has become a lot more nasty in recent years and I don't think that it is just a coincidence that it has gone hand in hand with the rise of the internet.
When I was in local politics we would do our jobs canvasing, delivering leaflets Etc. Quite often we would bump into someone from the opposition doing the same and it would just be a quick hello or similar. Occasionally we would even have a chat for a few minutes.
At the count we would even sometimes sit down for a drink together. To be fair there was an occasional pillock but in the main we all rubbed along together.
It is a long time since I was involved but, sadly, I would be very surprised if that type of attitude still survives. | |||

"You are of course correct about politics becoming more extreme over the last few years. But your conclusion that this is a result of the internet is incorrect. It is a well documented phenomenon of politics that austerity breeds nationalism and extremist policies as people gravitate towards leaders they perceive as being strong, of course these leaders tend to be authoritarian and dictatorial in nature. Which in turn leads to conflict both internally and externally. Of course the opposite is true in times of plenty and therefore once intelligent autocrats gain power they tend to use austerity as a means to stay in power. History is full of examples of this tactic being used to stay in power. | |||
"I've met loads. There are lots of things wrong with the EU. I understand that people feel pushed aside by globalism. That they don't feel part of the conversation anymore. I was a reluctant remainer. My problem is the whole thing was written in Crayon. If they were serious. There would have been about 4 or 5 various options on the ballot. Now it's just going to be another way for the Establishment to rob the populace. " You raise a very valid point about globalisation, and I know many who voted for brexit for that very reason. But whenever I spoke to them about it and pointed out that the only way to combat the power of super national global corporations that control more wealth than most of the worlds sovereign nations is to form multinational trading blocks that can redress the balance I was told I was wrong and that somehow being smaller would make us stronger. It seems to me that we really do need to be given a collective head wobble, and I hope that the reality of 4 or 5 years outside the EU will bring some sanity back to Britain as we find out that there is a good reason large countries prosper while small tribes falter. | |||
"I don’t know if this is a serious question OP or just an attempt to rile people. But I do know one guy who was open about his intention to vote leave and he was doing so in the genuine hope things would get better rather than all the usual stereotype reasons. He’s an intelligent, articulate, compassionate guy and the only person I could have a sensible conversation about Brexit with. We’d often agree with each others points and we were both horrified by the misinformation on both sides of the campaign. " You can't possibly say a Leaver and a Remainer can agree with each other on certain things, the OP will accuse you of making stuff up to prove a point! | |||

Sounds very plausible, if it weren't for the fact the EU is in the pocket of those same super national global corporations. | |||

"I have little in common with brexiters politically.Its a divide that can't at present be crossed.This is only the beginning of the divide." Similar here. It seems to be very much a sign of a worldview that I just don't agree with, want to be associated with, or deal much with people who do. And no that isn't [whatever]-ist. These people made a conscious decision to choose the path they did. They can change it. -Matt | |||

I would hope that I would never have to spend my time on holidays eavesdropping to other people's conversations and then commenting on it on the internet . If we ignore that fact that the majority of the population have no interest in politics or the internet the content of a conversation does not have to be highly academic. It is probable that each party to the conversation enjoyed each other's company . My guess is that they were all on holiday and making polite conversation to each other. What would embarrass me would be admitting that I was eavesdropping on the conversation of other people who were enjoying their holiday . | |||

"..... I'm not racist at all. I voted to leave because of the undemocratic way they rule us." 1) “They” don’t rule “us” - The A50 White Paper confirmed this. 2) There is nothing undemocratic about the way that the EU works - it is in fact more democratic than the U.K. It is no surprise however that you would repeat the sounbyte so glibly as the entire Leave campaign was based around lies sent out as memes, soundytes and slogans. It is actually pathetic that a grown adult would come out with such a statement after two years pre referendum information and two years since the vote. Four years and people still believe and regurgitate lies to promote their fear based agenda. | |||

"I voted leave but not because I’m some knuckle dragging racist anti immigration pro British moron. I voted to leave because I spent my entire working life as an engineer in the manufacturing sector. Back in the 80’s when we moved to a more finance based economy and moved away from manufacturing (and as a consequence exporting) I saw the drop in apprenticeships and in training for all kinds of manufacturing industries as the finance and service sectors took over. However, following the financial crash the government has finally started to invest in manufacturing again and although Europe is a big market the rest of the world is bigger and I’d like to see us able to trade freely and without restraint all over the globe. The EU is restrictive and no longer fit for purpose in my view. " But we won’t be able to ‘trade freely’ (and more/less so than we can now) as we will sill be working within WTO rules and that means that other countries will still have import duties on things we want to sell them. To be 100% clear here, there is nothing stopping us trading with anyone anywhere NOW. Just we won’t get the nice low/zero tarrifs we get with the EU and countries the EU has negotiated deal with. And once we leave the EU we won’t get those low/zero tarrifs with ANYONE. Not unless we negotiate a new deal with them that is better than what we have now. Which as it stands looks very unlikely. -Matt | |||
"Yes many nice people..and some even have brains you know ....glad that u think 52% of our great country are not nice .... maybe u should look in the mirror x" A significant percentage are also prone to reading something, interpreting it in a negative way and then regurgitating it as a fake claim that they assert as being factual. Just like you and others have done. As explained to the other person above who also suffers the same affliction that you do... Just because I have never met a nice Brexiter, doesn't mean that I have met everyone who voted to make themselves poorer, less relevant in the world and at the same time cuddle up with all the racists, xenophobes, misogynists and right-wing thugs (ie by voting Brexit). No... I haven't met all of them, but the ones I have usually descend into type within a few minutes of engaging in conversation. | |||

"I only care and accept people for who they are, not some tiny facet of their life, based on their past experience and thought processes that I've not had, not could I have had. The world, including the forum, is a better place when we have respect for each other. I appreciate learning other perspectives on subjects, where there is potentially not any one right answer - there's just difference. We're fortunate to have this opportunity to discuss and learn - imagine how it would not have been possible if we lived in the era of swingers contact magazines
Laudable in many ways, and I agree in politics there is no single right answer, but there are many patently wrong answers. When the policies followed for decades lead to division and impoverishment of the many to fund conspicuous consumption, gluttony and hoarding of wealth by the few then clearly the answer being trotted out is wrong.
Just my opinion, for what it is worth.
Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's.
As you well know we disagree on most things political, but at least you stick your opinion without getting nasty or personal (OK you've had a couple of minor infringements but I'll forgive you)
For many others on here I can't say the same. Maybe it's a generation thing.
It seems to me that politics in general has become a lot more nasty in recent years and I don't think that it is just a coincidence that it has gone hand in hand with the rise of the internet.
When I was in local politics we would do our jobs canvasing, delivering leaflets Etc. Quite often we would bump into someone from the opposition doing the same and it would just be a quick hello or similar. Occasionally we would even have a chat for a few minutes.
At the count we would even sometimes sit down for a drink together. To be fair there was an occasional pillock but in the main we all rubbed along together.
It is a long time since I was involved but, sadly, I would be very surprised if that type of attitude still survives. "Probably the most sensible post on this whole thread. | |||

"If I'm honest I've yet to meet a nice remoaner . to keep harping on about the vote nearly two years ago beggers belief .we live in a democratic world .if the result had gone the other way I wouldn't have gone on like the remain lot .we got it wrong first time around all those years back .we were fed lies then .nothing changed in that respect this time .the truth is we were sick of being told what to do .Italy will start next " What do you mean? Leavers have been banging on about leaving for the past two decades. Even going so far as to create a single-issue political party based around it! You seem to have a strange view of democracy too. Democracy does not mean 'make one decision and stick with it forever'. Even if you disregard the mis-information and lies that got people to vote leave in the first place.

Its not about fairness, its about public and political pressure. Since the back end of the blair years, the financial crash and austerity, the UK has been a simmering pot. We had a very unpopular Tory PM who got too big headed, he wanted to silence the eurosceptic wing of his party and UKIP and believed because, via a FPtP system he got a large majority he'd crush that view point. He took a gamble and lost, because he was blind to the concerns of the working and lower middle class who has reasonable concerns around immigration and austerity. You throw in a lack of housing being built and an NHS under visable strain and people blame the EU because they don't like the idea of holding parliment to account and accepting that their own voting record and lack of action put them in this position. There will be another referendum/decision when there is public pressure and the political will for it. Not on some arbitary demand of fairness. | |||

A recent run of programmes called "it was ok in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's", highlighted how attitudes have changed over the years. It was ok to sell golly wogs and for white performers to 'black up' and perform in the The black and white minstrels show in the 1960's but would be frowned upon in today's society. Just because it was ok then doesn't mean it's ok now. | |||

"As immature and imbecilic as this thread is, it does quite admirably go to show what bitter, nasty and small people some hard-core remain voters are. It's a good job that there are places like this forum where they can all wallow in their own crapulence, all agreeing with each other how wonderful and correct they are about brexit, but never quite fully understanding that nobody of any importance gives a shit what they say or think about it.
...and it's posts like this (plus your following ones on this thread) that exactly make the op's (tongue in cheek) case and, in fact, prove the point that there's no smoke without fire.
Quite sad that in trying to trash the concept, you make an example of why/how it was conceived.

Only someone who saw truth in it, would try to disprove it and, in the process, turn it from "tongue in cheek" to actual fact.
If you disagreed and didn't see the tongue in cheek angle, you could have easily posted your reply in a civilized way explaining why you think that the OP was incorrect. Yet, you fell in the trap (which, btw, I thoroughly disapprove of in the first place) and demonstrated every single one of the OP's characterisations. You (and others on this thread) had a brilliant opportunity to show the OP out and, not only you didn't take it but, instead, you helped him/her prove his/her point.
No, it’s hate. The OP has a hatred of his/her fellow human beings who were brexit voters. For proof, just click the little green arrow and read his/her other posts. It’s the same sort of hate as racism, sexism, and all the other isms and isn’t welcome here, or anywhere else. Thinly disguising the hatred as “tongue in cheek” is not good enough, and oversimplifying. And btw, I'm not a "brexiter" - I'm a foreign national here on a work visa for a few years.

My opinion is that Brexiters are the real snowflakes in modern society. They are easily offended to such a degree that they get offended about being thought of as being easily offended as a group.

-Matt"If you have never meet a nice leave voter , you must mix with a very skewed sample of the population.
