Point stands, predicting something doesn't imply promoting it. Often it's the contrary. My issue was really down to you taking that route as a lazy 'argument winner' . Ignoring the view of a large proportion of the electorate is thin ice. Some will take it as typical politician behaviour others will drift to the extremes. Either way, it's not big or clever. Let’s do this another way. Who/what does he predict will be attacked, and who does he predict will be the perpetrator? Locky? Who is in for it? 1 hour ago, woodview said: He doesn't want all the silly racist Leave voters disenfranchised then rounded up and put in remedial schools and work houses? Thank heavens. I think he wants them to keep their jobs, their homes, their rights, and (what is currently left of) their public services. My view too. The last thing I want deep down is for people to be damaged through their own stupidity. I do suspect they will need to have a taste of what they’ve done to make them understand but it would be better to avoid that. Lets be honest when it all goes wrong then the likes of Rees-Mogg are going to say ‘it’s what you wanted’ Edited January 12, 2019 by I1L2T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his post he was talking about extremists and said he wouldn't get involved in anything like that. Are you implying he would? I really don't get what you are on about, beyond trying to paint a picture of normal people being violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you look at his history on social media then arguably it does. Lets not beat about the bush anymore. Like Lockdoctor the subtext of your argument is defence of people like Goddard. I’m quite happy to start posting links of Goddard in action. Want me to? If not then best jog on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 18 hours ago, Lockdoctor said: You haven't changed your mind and the protesters from both sides outside the Houses of Parliament haven't changed their minds. It suits the agenda of people who only respect democracy when the decision mirrors their own choice, to use 'change your mind' as an excuse to cheat others out of democracy. And to not allow people to change theirs minds (the ones who you say are being cheated out of democracy) is also undemocratic and reeks of a totalitarian regime.

Getting it wrong is a way of life! “Kenya sells us lots of flowers, which have a short shelf-life, and it currently trades with us on WTO rules. We have no problems there.” Andrea Jenkyns MP, 9 January 2019 Incorrect. Kenya-EU trade is governed by a trade agreement that supersedes WTO rules and removes tariffs on the import of Kenyan flowers to the EU. https://fullfact.org/europe/no-kenya-doesnt-export-flowers-eu-wto-terms/?fbclid=IwAR0nwNGKOsUnuM2GuBemVdJMTBTqAusc2dPu5OEpQfZdjwE4wSpBYYk6vDw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
