Well i'm liberal, and I voted leave.

I want people to be safe and happy. I don't care what people do as long as they don't try and force beliefs and behaviours on me and the same goes for me forcing it on people the other way round.

I believe that if you have a democratic vote it should be respected.

I didn't believe the EU is something that is worth sticking with. I don't think it's a brilliant entity. It's a capitalist state. So it's weird so many people on the left think it's amazing. However, I accept the argument that we could try to reform from within, which I don't trust the current goverment to do. I trusted Labour in 2017, but I think Corbyn's bowing to party pressure is what has put me off him.

Overall I genuinely just want people to be able to get on with their lives and as long as they are happy, then that's fine.

I didn't vote out because of immigration, though I accept a lot of people did. I voted out because I don't like the bureaucracy of the EU, and I didn't think at that stage it'd be something I wanted the UK to join.

I don't know what else I need to show that I'm liberal. What about all those Labour voters who have voted Labour all of their lives who voted out? Are they all conservative?

I think the point he was trying to make and the point I was trying to make when talking about my friend is that fundamentally, which ever way you dress it, a vote to leave was a vote for Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson.

It is very hard for me to square this off with having liberal world views.

Threats to kill? You can get 12 months in prison that.

Yesterday someone on here said they wish I died in an disaster in a homophobic rant.

What is your problem, does your brain not comprehend the positives of leaving, or remaining.

So you have to threaten other posters.

You're on a wind-up you clown. No sane or sober person would ever compare Northern Ireland to Essex.

In Essex is there approx. 50% of the population foreign nationals?

Actually does everyone in Essex automatically get citizenship of a foreign country?

Is there an international treaty safeguarding reunification with a foreign country as soon as the vote looks likely?

Lastly, did Britain March into Essex, butcher half the population then illegally occupy it and mismanage it for a few hundred years?

Britain didn't, but the English did.

Socially conservative, quite probably. The great faultlines in UK politics of the 20th century were primarily down economic class distinctions. For some reason, in the last 10-20 years, politics has shifted so that social views have come to dominate which side of the line you stand on, moreso than economic concerns.

They left, eventually. The French, well Normans, never did. Folk screaming "We want our UK back" really should look back a few more years at times.

I submit though that the criteria was a few hundred years of occupation & mismanagement. And anybody who wants to refute the mismanagement will of course have to answer the pressing question - "What have the Romans ever done for us?"
 
That went well.
