With The Ongoing Debacle That Is Brexit….

[naomi24]

…has your attitude towards politics changed?

I’ve spoken to so many voters, both Labour and Conservative, who say that such is their disgust at the blatant disregard for the electorate and for the democratic process that they see no point in ever voting again.

What about you?

[naomi24]

Jim, //Quite apart from the fact that this assertion [that a rerun of the referendum should be exactly that] is completely unjustified, it's also a totally impossible standard to meet. .The format of a future referendum ought by definition to represent what has happened since the last one, which will therefore include addressing in more substance the actual detail of *how* the UK is to Leave, if it indeed still wants to.//

It’s not impossible at all and it's far from unjustified. If you and the powers that be are in any doubt about the intentions of Leave voters, the easiest solution is to put it to the test. You are justifying overturning a democratic decision that has never been implemented.

Incidentally, I’m pleased to see that someone apart from me is capable of accurately translating Jimspeak.

v-e is as inaccurate in his descriptions of me as you are. That's not something to celebrate. It's to your shame, and his, that you only ask me questions for the purposes of ignoring, or wilfully misinterpreting, the answers I give.

[naomi24]

Jim, no shame here. Your deliberations are your responsibility.

[jim360]

"Jimspeak" is just another word for "English", then. And I'll thank you to respect that in future.

[naomi24]

Respect is earned.

[jim360]

Indeed it is. And on this site, we have both earned it, by virtue of being long-standing members.

[naomi24]

Length of 'service' doesn't come into it - and nor should it.

[jim360]

In that case, respect is given as a necessary condition of respecting the Site Rules. It's literally in the first line.

Show some respect, then, please.

[naomi24]

Respect is earned.

... into Strawman

[naomi24]

Spath, indeed it does - and so it should.

[jim360]

Thanks ellipsis :)

[naomi24]

^That to Spath.

[jim360]

I guessed it was to spath becuase it started with "Spath..." :)

[naomi24]

So it did. Ignore the post at 12:55 then.

[spathiphyllum]

Then maybe if your attitude towards jim changed you could have a healthy debate instead of throw about this sexual tension

[jim360]

What post at 12:55? :P

[naomi24]

spath, what sexual tension?
