    As I mentioned, I started off as a Remainer, but was persuaded of the opportunity through wider reading after the result. (We've already established you'd rather just stay in your bubble that read anything that contradicts what you think already).

    I can still see arguments for both sides, and I am genuinely worried that the Tories are cocking up the negotiations. But what gets me very pissed off is when I come across Remoaner bigots who refuse to see that there is a genuine opportunity here, and who spend their time rushing around gathering information to confirm their small-minded 'anti' prejudices while rejecting anything that argues to the contrary. (And yes such types exist on the Leave side too, but I see them more often on the Remain side, usually mixed up with snobbery and arrogance. Recognise anyone?)
    Ah....now I totally get it "ad hominem" is like:

    "Stick to The Guardian and you won't be needing to worry about such a trauma, there's a good chap".
    "We've already established you'd rather just stay in your bubble that read anything that contradicts what you think already"
    "Remoaner bigots"
    "snobbery and arrogance. Recognise anyone?"

    Got it. And so kind of you to do, like, a demonstration post just for me. Kudos!
