Not sure how someone telling us we aren’t sovereign, or doing well, and that the country has gone to the dogs are now recast as “positive people”.

The reason remainers are so pissed off is because we see a powerful, strong, world leading nation being pulled down because of ignorance and spite.

So would the terrorist be to blame or the UK people?

Do you leave your windows and doors open all day? If something gets stolen is it your fault or the burglars? It's clearly the burglars for being a thieving c*** but good luck getting the insurance to pay out.

Fact is you have to accept such warped individuals exist who're looking to find any excuse, so you don't give them the chance.

And make stupid pig ignorant clams regard motor industry job losses (40% growth in employment in a decade) oh and food inflation has risen by 20% (it was 2.7%)

You didn’t teach economics did you?

So you would just surrender would you? Fascinating insite into your mindset. Are you a descendent of Neville Chamberlain?

FAQs: Everything you need to know about visiting Northern Ireland

At the moment you don’t need a passport to travel within the UK to the north. Good luck controlling and handling illegal immigration into the UK, still you’ll probably see it as a positive as it will create jobs hahaha

You see to have very little awareness not appreciation of the GFA and why it’s important, which isn’t really a surprise.

There is an option in the articles of the GFA that permit a unification referendum so there is a choice

Yes I know, I think that most within GB couldn’t care less if NI left the UK. I also think the Tories would have been quite happy for it to have happened as it’s caused all sorts of obstacles for them.

When we joined the EU it was the positive thinkers suggesting so. Less chance of war, greater competition through open markets resulting in bigger improvements, cooperation in science leading to advancements and in policing reducing crime. The 'moaning neg-heads' were those telling us to stay out because it'd be terrible for us.

So for you the moaning neg-heads were right.....

When we joined the EEC - we signed up for something very different to what we are leaving.

So you are incorrect...maybe what you are calling the neg-heads we're just as wrong then!

You even frame it negatively. Maybe the positive thinkers framed it more like "we can return to become fully sovereign again, we can improve (whatever)"

The reason many remainers are pissed off is because they are scared of changes that will become necessary. Part of the natural process of change. I don't criticise them for that, but cannot just accept the doom & gloom.

Even if Brexit doesn't happen still - I will be happy with that to a degree. Just very wary of future tactics to keep or bring the UK acceptance of further political & social integration.

We have illegal immigrants already. The vast majority of normal law abiding citizens will simply follow the letter of law. Those that don't risk arrest & due process of the justice system.

That seems fair to me.

And actually, the NI border is not the main issue in all of this. The main issue is that everyone had the chance to vote & produce the result they preferred. Some did & some didn't. The choice was quite clear - & the result should be honoured.

If certain conditions are reached. A unification referendum can’t be called on a whim or because you want to leave the EU and break up the union to do it. A larger percentage of the Northern Ireland population considers themselves British than the percentage of the UK that voted leave. And people like you couldn’t give a fuck about them. Shame on you.

Our elected governments have ratified those changes after winning elections with majorities, all having had a manifesto for growing ties to the EU. Parties led by people like Foot who wanted the opposite got trounced.

If it wasn't for the kind of positive thinkers that showed perseverance & patience throughout history, the moaning neg-heads such as yourself would not be enjoying many of the things you readily take for granted. Even down to the keyboard you spout your negativity on!

Think you’re confusing positive thinking with science and engineering mate.

To be fair Grendel he was talking about jobs lost to automation rather than the sector as a whole.

The choice wasn’t clear. That’s just a blatant lie. The leavers were all promising different visions from socialist utopia from the Lexiters to far right Singapore tax havens and everything in between. Do I need to pull out the mountain of quotes from leading Brexiters saying we wouldn’t leave the CU or SM?

Yes - & now Parliament has ratified Article 50 & we are at least apparently leaving 31st October. Embrace it

I'll dumb down the questions for you then.

What borders are they that you keep mentioning?

We will have a trade deal with Switzerland. Switzerland are not in the EU but have a trade deal with the EU. What kind of border is there around Switzerland? What will happen to the goods from the UK to Switzerland?

North Korea? I see you are struggling a bit now.

Switzerland has a hard border for goods but is in Schengen. What point are you trying to make?

You're wrong. I do indeed recognise it. However I also recognise that not honouring the referendum result would potentially have far more severe consequences for many more people.

And in 2017 we had an election that produced a parliament against no deal.

Why do you hate the will of the people? Aren’t you a democrat?

There were lies on both sides.

The choice on the ballot paper was clear. The choice was made. The majority voted to leave.

Not honouring Brexit would have more severe consequences than breaking the GFA? Wow, just wow.

The will of the people has been made under the terms specified at the time. It's no good non-voters bleating about their will now is it?

So why just ignore any possible issues people point out and suggest we embrace positive thinking?

To use your example above do you think that is how people invented the wheel? You actually have to think about problems and solve them to progress you know. Positive thinking isn’t involved.

How? Are Brexit fundamentalists going to start car bombing remain areas for instance?
