Wonder why this thread is getting so many answers removed ?.

[Mozz71]

It's utter BS isn't it Teacake? If they keep this up, Gromit won't be the last to walk away.

[teacake44]

I think the kill button is stuck.

[Mozz71]

These will be gone soon too.

[gulliver1]

I think we have a new mod amongst us, or a new E/d and they are supporters of the Liberal Party .

[teacake44]

Going going going going nearly going, wait for it.

[gulliver1]

Well there must be something wrong with this thread , Because Mozz has been awarded B/A , just for talking rubbish

[gulliver1]

Teacake, this thread reminds me of a Film called "Gone in sixty seconds"

[teacake44]

I think they've gone for a fag outside, so hang on.

[gulliver1]

Most Answers get removed on TTT's threads , so that tells me that.
He is the New Mod in disguise.

If pointing out your stupidity is talking rubbish, then three quarters of the posts in AB are rubbish.

I've said it before, but it's kind of obvious, even at the time, that the Referendum wasn't called to decide whether we'd leave the EU or not, but to kill the question. As far as I can tell, most of the questions of what is or isn't democratic stem from the fact that the Referendum was launched in the first place in bad faith.

In a more sensible world, the Referendum would have been established from the get-go as merely the start of a process, ie something like:

1. a vote to decide whether or not we should trigger A50;
2. two years of negotiations (able to start instantly, because there would have been no question that the referendum gave the legal power to notify), where the party in power had already done or at least thought about the work necessary to leave;
3. A further referendum on the terms of withdrawal, or on whether to go ahead with leaving on those terms.

If this had been established from the start -- and, by the way, this is the sort of thing that David Davis had envisaged, so in a sense I'm writing a Leaver's manifesto, not a Remainer's -- then a second referendum would have been seen as Democratic. Sadly, all the Leavers who won then promptly seemed to forget their own visions for the process, and -- to be fair -- the Remainers who lost decided to hijack this otherwise sensible process for the same cynical reason they'd had the Referendum in the first place.

Jim, have you posted on the wrong thread?

[jim360]

No, although perhaps I didn't make the link obvious -- it's based on the discussion earlier of whether TTT would have accepted a second referendum.

[dannyk13]

OK Jim, sorry.

[gulliver1]

13.51 Mozz. "Three quarters of the Posts on A/b are rubbish" Who told you that.

[jim360]

No worries, danny, it's the sort of thing that can easily happen.

TTT as a mod is surely the first sign of the AB apocalypse :O

//13.51 Mozz. "Three quarters of the Posts on A/b are rubbish" Who told you that.//

Sorry my mistake, if you meant your threads, then they're 100% rubbish.

(BTW, copying half a sentence to attempt to change the context of my words is the height of desperation)
