If that was true, and it is a conspiracy theory, it was not included as part of the campaign rhetoric and remained largely unknown by the population as a whole. As such, does that in some way invalidate the reasons that people voted the way they did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not to like about Brexit? Every day our news media are showing us how we have benefited. Our farmers and fishermen are delighted, industry is thriving, and we have the greatest, most honourable PM leading us! Why doesn't he invite Nigel Forage centre stage to share the honours with him? I think everyone in the UK thinks Boris Johnson is one of our greatest politicians! Well, thats because you cannot let it go lmao. Its been a while since you lost, holding onto your obsession isn`t very constructive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the people voted for and what the backers (propagandists) were motivated by are entirely different things, as you say that is nuance.

Duke Wellington Posted February 5, 2022 #105 Share Posted February 5, 2022 15 hours ago, The Silver Shroud said: You are right to suggest perhaps I and others should have been more politically aware before 2016. Boris Johnson has really exposed Tory politics as being incredibly selfish, even to the extent of damaging the UK to ensure they stay in power. And I was naive to the extent of the xenophobia in the UK, I thought we were all generally happy with the status quo. The problem is, I like Europe, I like its art, culture, food and beaches! I like Europeans! So it is hard for me to emphasise with people who mutter about hating foreigners and love a day at Bognor or Skegness with knotted handkerchiefs on their heads and their trousers rolled up. Sounds like you would be happier living on the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that the remainers are posting topics now unrelated to Brexit and then steering the conversation onto Brexit. Think it's time to talk about other stuff. Think i'll give it a break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a typically woolly set of objectives common in politics and business. For example Starmer's lunch with booze he described as not of the same order as a typical Boris party yet who draws the line, in that case it appears to be the media. It's Boris' Code for his government. Starmer is not included. It's nothing new that high standards are expected of high office. Boris affirmed this. He set the standard himself. The fine that might apply to normal mums and dads doesn't have bearing on a Minister bound by Boris' Code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
