You've mistaken what I said I think. I was reiterating that the UK is 4 nations. I wasn't talking about individuals. I think it's safe to say we've reached the end here though given your rhetoric to I'll leave you to your opinions.
Whilst I don't disagree with your facts, I disagree with your tone.
It's really understandable for EU folk to be angry with us. Our newspapers are toxic, the BBC promotes Farage and we were always going for British exceptionalism, with Brexit being the ultimate act of We're Better Than You sentiment.
Me, you, 48% of the then voting public, Scotland and NI didn't buy it, correct, but genuinely the right approach to EU irritation with the UK is apology, not "stop being mean" and not "it wasn't my part of the UK".
We're not out of the woods yet. Britain's most unelectable politician of all time, with nine losses in hand-picked constituencies may well win Clacton because the stupidly corrupt Conservative party couldn't keep their stupidly corrupt MPs honest. How "we're not a bunch of racist loonies" is that going to look across the channel? Yes, a bunch of us are going to turn away from the stupid racist Conservative party, but a lot of them are going to turn to the even more stupid, even more racist, even more anti EU Refuse UK Party.
Where did I say stop being mean? Jesus fucking Christ, I was just hoping to moderate peoples attitude to try and have a more positive impression and something we can work towards but instead it's just classic Lemmy vitriol and shite.
Thank you, between you and that other tit you've given me the push I needed to just bin this off.
