Britain and Brexit (part XXI)

@teinosuke said
Not really. Mr Johnson and Mr Farage clearly wanted to be outside the EU because it isn't corrupt enough for their tastes.

I kind of think it was whatablutism.
I’ve seen whataboutism before and your post definitely looked like it.

No dive it’s a reality check there’s a lot worse than a tipsy Eurocrat out there and finding trade deals means we are going to have to offer some aspects of our sovereignty to some or all of them.
Trade deals are never just about trade.

Junker was a lying sexist gravy-train riding pig. I’ve been saying it for years and saying what about so-and-so is whataboutism.

Spot on.

Dodge on more like.

Wrong again.

The alerts were cancelled.

Indeed. A human mod comes along and realizes the automod was over sensitive.

So auto mod alerted the same post twice? LOL.

For which words exactly?

Stop hiding behind the most misused phrase on this forum ( your the biggest perpetrator BTW ).
It’s not whataboutism if the criticism / example is like for like. British politics is full of “lying sexist gravy-train riding pig”s so your point is moot if your arguing that we are better off trading one for the other on that basis. You should stick with the solid ground of Sovereignty ( unless we are trying to get a trade deal of course ) then sovereignty is up for grabs but at least it’s ours to sell.

Kev, I might be many things but I don’t “hide” mate. Junker represented everything I hate about the EU, his slovenliness in work ethic, his dishonesty, his obscene salary etc.

But you are correct, I’m just railing on about because I loathed him and what he stood for. I should stick to sovereignty and the issues.

I’ll not expect to read any of you europhiles railing on about Farage then.

I will. The man is a total @€@“?&-hole.

Who cares.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Who cares.

Why would they be alerted?

You presumably, since it was you who raised it with me on the previous page.

Good for you, and don’t listen to any whataboutism resistance.

The automod is a blunt instrument.

If an innocuous post is alerted, a misconstruing automod is usually responsible.

Automod, by the way, sounds like a baby being born that looks like Paul Weller...
