Brexiteers Are All Thick!! Well Maybe Not ......

[youngmafbog]

We have seen it on here often, accusations of knuckle dragging being of lower intellect and many other similar insults so will this educate the Remainers that use this argument?

Well there were two ex Tory leaders and two ex Tory Chancellors of the Exchequers on the leave campaign as well.

[Garaman]

I am pleased to hear you've managed to find a few brainy ones.

[emmie]

good and there was i was thinking I'm not thick, now i know i am in good company.

[youngmafbog]

I guess from Garamsn reply the answer to my question in the OP is a resounding "NO" !

[Garaman]

I find it odd that you feel the need to show us a handful of brainy types to justify that 17 million people weren't all thick.

I have never once thought that they were btw!

[emmie]

nor did i, 17 million odd can't all be wrong.

[youngmafbog]

I think you are missing the point on why they have done this.

[Garaman]

I am not missing the point on why you have put it on here as that is clear from the OP!

[douglas9401]

"17 million odd can't all be wrong."

Not even the almost equal number of 'remain' voters?

[dannyk13]

Douglas, there is no right or wrong.People voted for what they thought was better for this country.

Theheadline "Brains for Brexit" is a little unfortunate.
Sounds a bit like "Moslems for UKIP", etc. Or Turkeys for Christmas" even.
I guess that is the Mail's name? It suggests a rather negative view of Brexit voters by the Mail itself. That some of the most agile minds in the country masterminded the referendum victory is hardly in doubt. One of the cleverest people I know is a Brexit supporter. (The actual name if there is one is not mentioned that I can see).

I just hope their arguments improve on:
He added: 'Nobody who appears on the BBC and says 'this is going to be a catastrophe' is ever asked what their view is based on.'

Well, yes they are actually.

Or: 'I do feel you just can't write off a large part of the population as being unworthy of consideration.'

That one sounds more like a plea from the Remain camp!

"Professor Tombs said his motivation was the 'whole tide of propaganda about how awful everything was, how awful everything was going to be, and we didn't believe this."

Ditto :-)

[ichkeria]

And Boris, Moggers, etc

They are pretty clever people: they might feel rather insulted :-)
They just don't give a *** about most of the people who voted their way, that's all (honourable exception granted to Mr Gove).
Doesn't mean they aren't bright.

I just tried to look this group up, but their website does not have any contact details. No phone or email, and no contact address.
Their domain name is registered, but they have chosen to keep all contact information private.

Not exactly a good start for a campaigning organisation.

[Khandro]

Don't forget the initiator, Nigel, the brightest star of them all.

[youngmafbog]

Garman, I put it on here because continually we have remoaners on here accusing anyone who voted leave of being thick. This is a group of people who are also sick of the pathetic grasping at straws accusations.

And still we see on here the sneering. Says it all really.

A simple Google search came up with this, dip your bread in.

"because continually we have remoaners on here accusing anyone who voted leave of being thick"
Do we? I hadn't noticed many.
I HAVE seen a fair few posts accusing people who supported Remain of not being patriotic.
Perhaps we need "Patriots for Remain" as a counterbalance :-)
