Round the buoy again and again and again.

I'm saying (yet again) that I have been taken in by no-one.
I want out, and out asap.

I will vote for whomever I like. The choices here are:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48081663

Who do people think I should vote for?

Mick, if what you want is “out and ASAP”, and assuming that you stand by your earlier statement that this must be “simple” then it’s very clear.

It matters not a jot who you vote for. You might as well ask for who you should vote for to get Cornwall relocated to the Southern hemisphere ASAP.

You believe “out and ASAP” is “simple”? You’ve been taken in.

Yet again! you have fallen back to that rotten old chestnut.
Which bit of condescending do you not understand.
You have to accept that in life many people make decisions without any reason whatsoever simply because they want to.
And example is General election or any less votes, how many people do you think actually read the manifesto before voting for the party.
It still comes back to the individual preference for whatever reason, To vote their way.

I understand that if you are tied to the EU like to work abroad your family also rely on them for income et cetera you're likely to favour The EU.
Indirectly we all are, but I like many others do not want to be joined by the hip and cut off of the neck waving the EU flag.
British politics is corrupt Then what about the EU?
Things have changed? They might well have but you only have your polls to back up your predictions of victory.
My prediction is that the EU will struggle after we leave.
some of the countries were already on the verge of bankruptcy.
Little Britain will be better and survive with more independence.

Its a shame that Grumpy has passed as she would have made a good Tory PM? Better than the available suspects


In his tribute in The Times, Will Pavia says Grumpy Cat's "bomb-proof state of tranquillity" at endless events with breathless members of the public reminded him of the Queen

so she had the right attributes?

Cugel

Hmm, but it didn't pour forth over his thoughly debunked crime statistics and their causes, upthread a tad.


"Windy" bears something of a resemblance to an earlier contributor on here, one "blackbike", long gone.

AKA Blackshirt. The authentic voice of the unthinking right.

lazy ad hominem attack...yawn

You say that, and then you post:

windmiller wrote:I don't think public opinion has changed at all. The only ones saying that are remainers who lost the vote, So surprise surprise they shout it while throwing their dummies out of their prams.

If that isn't insulting and evidence of paranoia, I don't know what is.

Re WM and "blackbike" - one may indeed be a sock-puppet of the other, but we have no proof of that. Leave it to the Mods to determine (if they can). I had duplicate logins on this forum for a brief while, accidentally (until I realised it, and explained to Graham). But I didn't abuse my double identity!

I concur with your opinion of Windy's posts here, but perhaps best not to use such language. It only gives him ammo.

You are sailing very close to the wind with your comments about me. In the league of "insults" how about comparing dummies thrown out of prams with labelling a person a fascist/nazi. How does that stack up??? Who is this "blackbike" who you think is me? I am clearly not this person but I don't know how it can be proven. If and when it can be proven I expect a full apologie from you, then hopefully we can carry on without further nonsense.

Meanwhile, I've just seen this rather quaint news item.

So a milkshake is an offensive weapon, now, right, Officer?

I suppose I ought to be sympathising with the plight of those "gentlemen" who've had to have their suits cleaned. But I can't, really!

I'm reminded of the old jingle:

An accident happened to my brother Jim,
When somebody threw a tomato at him.
Tomatoes are juicy and don't break the skin,
But this one was carefully packed in a tin.

But I don't think milkshakes come in a tin.

Oh well, if milkshakes and ice cream are banned, people may take to throwing other things. Not me! I can't throw for toffee, especially not now with a painful elbow...

windmiller wrote:Who is this "blackbike" who you think is me?

Did I at any time say I thought you were blackbike? Someone else may have, but not I. I clearly said, we have no proof. And we should leave it to the Mods, who can check IP addresses (if that is of use).

I don't like being told stuff like "you lost, get over it". None of us Remainers do. We went over that a long time ago. I don't say that to others. Footballers may gloat over their successes, but I am not a footballer.

I did not say you were he.
Merely that there was some similarity, he had a slightly different tack and style.

Say what you like about me. I care not. I will never report a post.

But if one addresses the points put in argument against one's own posted view then a considered reply will always carry more weight.
We are past the point of generality.

You agreed with his opinion that I am blackshirt aka nazi/fascist. so you clearly think but don't have the gumption to directly accuse me. I hope the mods do check the IP address which will illustrate your paranoia.

Needing to sort out my domain name (a .eu ccTLD which the European Commission said, on Brexit, will get 2 months notice before being revoked) I came across a nice description o Brexit in one of the articles about the .et ccTLD

The option of keeping both testicles intact and attached is unlikely to be put to the British people because two years ago we were all assured that amateur backstreet castration was fricking awesome ....

Once again you did not read my post properly. I said "I concur with your opinion of Windy's posts". Which is entirely different from saying, I agree with his opinion of "windmiller" as a person. Please get it right.

I should, perhaps, refrain from mentioning the alleged connection with a certain Mr Hitler...

The post is a person unless it is a bot which I'm not. I have no problem with anyone disagreeing with my opinion or mocking my politics. I take a dim view of low grade and personally directed insults.

windmiller wrote:The post is a person.....

How do you make that out? I'm mystified. How can a collection of letters, spaces and punctuation marks be equated to a human being?

See here for some guidelines, if you haven't already done so. The general idea is, one can attack the post but not the poster.

In the post in which I referred to you and "Blackbike", I was actually commenting on someone else's post. And querying what was said in that post, for that matter. I wish you'd pay attention.
