They need to learn that staying in a room with a group of people who loudly and vocally hold the same oppinion as you gives a false inpression that eveyrone agrees with you. |
So exactly the same as P & CA, here on BCF!
The leave camp are so obnoxiously loud and prepared to shout down anyone who holds a contrary view, it borders on hatred. They turn up en-mass and loudly and publicly lambaste anyone who doesn't agree with them with protesting, social media campaigning and behaviour bordering on fanatical hate in order to silence them.
I have quietly kept my views to myself on numerous occasions when in the presence of rabid leavers because I don't need to be subjected to that sort of fanatical bile.
Boris's inability policy of to speak in public, without a script, precluded him from public debates and broadly speaking, keeping his fool mouth shut is what won it for him.
Works both ways!

''The leave camp are so obnoxiously loud and prepared to shout down anyone who holds a contrary view''
Maybe because they won and want to be counted as people as opposed to 'those clowns that don't know what they're voting for'

I kind of got the opposite impression, but I'm willing to concede parts of both sides are guilty of this, and attacking the people probably isn't the best idea.
Some good points above about the effects of social media on the arguments. It all becomes very distorted, exaggerated. Best not pay too much attention to any of it. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

In isolated instances maybe, but Stinkwheel is right about the leave camp in the majority of cases. The Gammon, thicko, racist tags have been thrown about with abandon by the leave camp, just like there are still Corbynites throwing the selfish, racist, nasty tags at anyone who didn't vote their way.
We will probably get Wee Willie Kranky screaming the same sort of shite against the English on her run up to trying for Indy2.

I suppose it depends how you go about talking to people. There are some in the village that I would rather run away from than chat shit about politics because they are either to the right of Genghis Khan or to the left of Trotsky.... That way nobody falls out. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

And with it politics generally. The people I least like to hear from are politicians and those who vocally hold strong political views. Lets go back to when people kept their politics to themselves, voted when the time came around, and otherwise just got on with life.
This whole section of the forum should be nuked. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

It's enlightening to compare the style of politics on TV in the past with the garbage now.
Here both sides articulately present a reasoned argument, they listen to each other and the presenter doesn't think he's obliged to interrupt even before any point can be made.

Modern politicians are as much to blame with the majority apparently having been schooled in tactics to avoid answering questions or being pinned down to any aspect of policy at all. |

I'm not sure that qualifies as debate but it certainly ends any disagreements. |
It seems people can't be trusted to debate politics without either jumping down each other's throats, or going completely off the rails. What else is actually achieved here? It certainly doesn't seem to contribute to anyone's happiness.

The first one is true.
Of course a pig would vote Labour. It would side with those who refuse to eat it. |
