    So it's the majority of the county doing the Racist hate crimes and stabbing children is it @punkdoc.
    My cousin’s son lives in red neck country,  two big loaded guns in his house,  I asked him it that was a bit dangerous,  he said no point in having guns if you don't keep  them loaded!

    Could I as why you would vote Brexit again @Jenny_Aster? Just interested. Not criticising. You have a right to your opinion.
    Over a nice friendly drink I'd be only too pleased to - face to face. But this gardening forum is not the place.

    Whilst you are entitled to your opinion, @Jenny_Aster, I am entitled to mine, and I believe that Brexit is the worst thing that has happened to this country in a generation.
    It is certainly not flaming.
    So you believe Brexit was the wrong decision, well that's fine with me. You certainly have the right to your opinion and I'll defend that. But you lumped Brexiteers in the same sentence as child stabbers. That is a perfect example of flaming.

    That's a shame @JennyJ. In my limited experience, even the most hardened Brexiteers are beginning to wonder whether they were duped. It would have been interesting to read the views of someone who has kept the faith, so to speak.

    Context is important though. Brexiteers were being compared to Trump supporters rather than to the other points. Again you may take offense to that but the comparison is quite apt when you look at the facts of how support was drummed up for both. Trump still has supporters despite everything he's done and Brexit still has supporters despite the obvious harms that it has caused.


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I did not equate Brexiteers with the number of children being stabbed. I listed the things that I believe make us no better than Americans.
    As much as I hate Brexit, it would be hard to link it to child stabbing. On the other hand I do believe that a lot of people who voted for Brexit are racist/xenophobic.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I think you tagged the wrong Jenny there! I'm certainly no Brexiteer.
