That's not the view from "America" its the view of one person, James Stavridis, who by the way is very much a remainer....
Who he was "When I was supreme allied commander of NATO, the 16th in that line," "James George Stavridis is a retired United States Navy admiral, currently an Operating Executive with The Carlyle Group and Chair of the Board of Counselors at McLarty Associates." A remainer??? š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤” Pure Gammon
HA HA Typical oldie resorting to name calling. Hows your wife..?

It was out of order. Not suggesting there is a moral equivalence. Itās pretty obvious to everyone reading this thread where most of the animosity and insults originate. If posts could be made without name calling and insults then perhaps others will act in the same way?

SSU chose the method of retort, he could have done it differently, either with wit or about Oldie himself. Would you have said it? I would hope not and for good reason.

No I would have done it differently. I would also add that none of the other remainers on here are likely to receive harsh or personal comments as although they have polar opposite views to us on the leave side of the fence everyone else manages to put forward an opinion with pout resorting to generalisations and insults. Having such little respect for those with opposing views is bound to attract resentment and perhaps OTT reactions.

Having said that, perhaps things can settle down and we can start discussing things on their merits again.

He wouldnt have posted that if his name was attached to his account or if it was in the main forum. Its childish and cowardly.

No need to dwell on it. Much more interesting than SSU is what's going on elsewhere. Fair enough. Solidarity with you Oldie. No court decision today, likely tomorrow. Anyone want to take a bet on another extension? This is going to a second vote I reckon.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in the Court's deliberations, fingers crossed for them finding against the "Government". Doesn't Johnson have to resign if they do? Surely.

Under normal circumstances I would say so. In this chaotic inferno of hate I would say he probably feels entitled to do whatever he wants in the same way he has effectively been rewarded for doing and saying whatever he wants in his life so far.

He should but I would expect the spin machine to continue with the #peoplespm v the EU funded Establishment, you know the Eton and Oxbridge educated Boris who couldn't recognise the press in a hospital.

I don't come on here to be called names, I went through years of that at school, and I think I'm a bit too old for it to happen again.
And yes I would say it under my real name. The blokes a nause, he can't seem to go a few posts without name calling, I'm guessing he's in his 40's/50's, and to still be acting like that says it all about him.

Anyone want to take a bet on another extension? This is going to a second vote I reckon. On a personal note, I am taking my family on holiday to France in November. I guess if it is no deal, our EHICs are invalid meaning we will need to take out additional health insurance. Care to guess the premium for a disabled child with severe health issues?
