Are Brexiteers Stupid?

Original post by BrainMan9

Very different from BrownShirts. Look no brown shirts, all black. Must be the good guys :biggrin:

Still not really the same as the SA when you look at the influence they have. They aren't out there forcing people into submission or forcing people to follow a particular political party. They also aren't going around strong arming anyone. They are simply having demonstrations, which they are free to have in the US.

They are not good guys though, of course not.

One could argue that someone who thinks that around 17million people are stupid and all motivated by one or two reasons are themselves, stupid.

That's my view OP.

Scotland was never a member of the European Union, the UK was.

Scotland will also have a really hard time getting membership as Spain for one will veto it (because of Catalonia)

I must have missed the part where I said Scotland was a part of the EU, I just said the majority voted to remain and so it isn't a day of freedom for them.

So what? they aren't free because they were part of the losing side is that what you're trying to say?

then people who vote Lib dem aren't free either and neither are people who want to bring back fox hunting....

I am first going to declare that I am a remainer but do I think brexiteer are stupid? No they are optimistic. Brexit and Trump has the same cause that while some has benefited in the economic growth others have been left behind. They have seen their lives not improve over generations and are totally forgotten by the political class. I came to this conclusion only after the election when labour heartlands turned blue and you realise that for people to have turned so much is because they are hurting I just hope and pray that the political class realise this and work for the betterment of them and their hopes are not dashed especially since we are going to go through technology revolution with traditional jobs becoming redundant with AI.

The view of one MP. not an official statement from the Spanish government. means nothing.

No you are completely misunderstanding, a user said that we were finally free, and i said it wouldn't particuarly feel free for Scotland as they voted majority to remain, therefore they didn't want to be free from the EU.

And its not me thst lost, I didn't take a side in the referendum and can see both sides. I refused to vote in the referendum.

I wasn't even responding to you, what are you even trying to say? I can read the article I know who the opinion was from.
