Brexit Morons? Right Oh!

What he said ^^^^^^

[Mamyalynne]

There's been ridiculous barracking from both sides and none of it makes anyone come across well.

I don't need to listen to Pat to know what I think.

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, has any politician called Leave voters morons?

[retrocop]

I have given him 10mins and 34secs of my time and on recapping in my mind what he said I would say 100% spot on. Nothing I can point a finger on what he said to be untrue. I liked his style.He was no more rude than some of the rudeness I have seen on this site at times during heated debates. He's going straight in my basket. :-)

[Baldric]

I voted 'Leave' and I stand by it, I do not need a badly dressed nobody to confirm my opinion, thank you.

[Theland]

Pat Condell. The man who tells the truth.

I agree there has been rudeness from both sides but you can't make a video in effect moaning about people who voted against your opinion on things being spiteful, rude, idiotic etc without being a thundering hypocrite when you insult them. He said vile things about Remainers, he's an utter stereotype, and does the genuinely sensible Brexiteers (of which there are a fair few amongst the others actually) no favours at all. You really don't need someone like him being your poster boy, he just plays into the hands of those determined to label anyone who voted for Brexit a half wit, and that does you no favours. Time both sides calmed down a bit tbh, because I'm bored to death with all the mud slinging from both sides, it's doing the country no good at all.

What other event or situation has divided the public's opinion to such an extreme as Brexit? Perhaps "Thatcherism", but I think that was only in retrospect.

[cassa333]

Bang on.

The Soubrys of the world should be very afraid. She has such disdain for her constituents and doesn’t seem to care they know it.

[Theland]

And democracy? Is there any in the EU?

[cassa333]

Seems remainers are a bit hypocritical about being addressed in the way Brexiteers have been addressed!

It appears yet again they are do as I say not do as I do because ‘I can call you all the horrid names I like but you can’t do it back because it’s not nice’ is the order of the day.

[kvalidir]

Not at all Cassa, it's just hypocritical of him to have made a moany video about how Remainers have called Brexiteers idiots, morons, low lifes etc etc etc when he is doing the exact same thing in this very video. He shot himself in the foot and looked stupid.
Neither side should resort to name calling, it's not helpful.

[hindle-a]

Self pitying self own.

[Peter Pedant]

He's a polemicist, is that a good thing?

the wiki article is ( seems to be ) a bio-vee
( CV written by the fella himself masquerading as a biography - wiki have rules against this. we can't do it - we arent famous enough (to get that all important wiki slot which you can then slap around ad lib)

3Ts would read
outspoken londoner, right more times than he knows, points up issues of public importance with both sensitivity and humour....a large following of devoted readers who have memorised lists of slang terms in order to get the last drop of meaning in his brief but important political directives aimed at the highest authority ....

well they are arent they ?

JPMorgan apparently said after the 1929 crash - "markets will remain low for the next ten years" - and he got fired from whatever official position he had ( v rich financier was his other job) when he replied well I'm right arent I?
he was

This gal does for me. Good video TTT, a bit serious mind.

I think he is TGTs Spin Doctor.

[Old_Geezer]

I don't usually have time/enthusiasm for long videos, I usually avoid them, but I managed this one in 3 segments.

I can see he is keen to rebound the insults fired at voters for Brexit back to those who initially make them; which may put some off.

Unsurprisingly he stresses, maybe too often, the reasons we must go. Also whilst I can't confirm his claims re academia, they do sound plausible to me. In addition he doesn't cover the fact that change tends to bring short periods of disruption, that we ought not be scared of since it is towards a better position for us all.

But all that said, he seems pretty spot on in his general description/analysis. Worth trying to get remain voters who disrespect the referendum result to listen to with an open mind. Or maybe that's not possible ?

Me too. I'm actually sick of hearing the word Brexit.
