I haven’t dismissed the games industry, I have dismissed your response as if it was the clinching argument. Product development will still take place in the U.K. whether we are in or out of the EU.....
Here's my point:
I didn't dismiss them, I said that i haven't seen where they 'suggest Brexit is a positive thing and that they prefer it to happen'. Genuinely interested to see it...feel free to link it.

I originally challenged your 'fishing industry' comment and countered with the computer games industry as a growing industry in the UK - which you have completely dismissed.

What is the contribution of the gaming industry in the UK vs the fishing industry in the UK?
Not sure how you conclude that I offered it up as a 'clinching argument'. I've stated quite clearly in that post that I offered it in contrast to the fishing industry and I'm interested to see where the other industries you referenced, had supported Brexit and considered it as positive as you inferred in your posts here:
Why is it always the fishing industry...

Plenty of industry which contributes far more to the economy of the UK aren't in favour.

Followed by this:
UK rail Industry, Defence Industry, Telecomms Industry, take your pick.....

I've not seen anything from those industries which have accepted Brexit as a positive thing and that they prefer it to happen. At best they have demanded clarity on issues and greater certainty on the outcome.

I have seen growth industries, such as the computer games industry, suggest it's a terrible idea.

I've still not seen where the 'Rail, Telecomms, Defence industries' have offered their full support behind Brexit...
 
The entire leave argument is based on forens and racism Pete.

Not from me it isn’t, and I truly haven’t heard anyone that I come into contact with say anything similar. The problem is that if anyone mentions managed immigration or indeed any effects of immigration on infrastructure they get called a racist as a way of curtailing sensible debate. It happened in Parliament for a few years where no one could even mention it. Any second now just for responding to you I will be called similar, and I’m not........

Apologies as I didn’t see your first comment, I was picking up my granddaughter. As for your last comment I have never said they support, full or otherwise, Brexit, you simply assumed I did. I put those industries us as examples of large Industries that won’t really care one way or the other, following a point Bruce made about ‘Industry‘ rejecting Brexit.....
 


The hell is this?


Possibly something quite sinister. From BBC:
The Conservative Party has got some new graphics and they’re pretty gaudy and childlike - one even uses the notorious "Comic Sans" font.
But what if the whole point of these memes is that they look awful so that people share them in a mocking way?
Let’s face it, an image of Boris Johnson saying "Get Brexit Done" or some other slogan he has said many times before it is hardly likely to go viral – unless you make it look weird.
In the Australian election earlier this year, Scott Morrison’s Liberals did surprisingly well and "boomer memes" - as this style of message is called - were partially credited with the campaign’s online success, according to Latika Bourke who is a London-based journalist for the Sydney Morning Herald.
The consultants who ran it – Topham Guerin – are now working for the Tories.
So expect more dodgy memes.
If you are sharing them to make fun of them - or, indeed, to discuss the party's latest social media ruse - this may be exactly what the party wants...

I agree that its lazy and insulting to confer "Racist" on anyone that has concerns about immigration.

But the wider point is that those concerns, control, infrastucture, NHS, et etc, should be levelled at the UK Government, who have it within their powers to "Solve the problem".

They havnt. Instead Bogeyman EU is painted at the wrongun. That is what boils my blood, because the effect is to see the real racists gather under the flag of convenience.
