Your post was (in my view) playground stuff - which was not meant to be a particularly damning criticism.
Fair enough but this is where we differ.
My concerns lie with a rich elite govt propped up by even richer more powerful people who I believe have used their power and influence to lie, mislead and divide the country to take us out of the EU in an act which I think will benefit them whilst the rest of the country suffers and goes backwards.
I have seen a repetitive attitude on here from leavers blaming remainers for being negative and telling us if we all get behind the country and be positive we don't need the EU and can manage on our own. I even linked a thread where people are talking about supporting Brexit by buying British.
I therefore think the news story that the new blue passports, one of the silly things Brexiteers have made iconic, are going to be outsourced to Poland at the cost of British jobs isn't childish but is an important point to flag.
I think it is important to highlight how the Govt slowly unravel and renege on the promises and principles they sold to us as they push forward their own self serving agenda because in my opinion honesty, integrity and putting the well being of the whole country over their own self interests is essential to being in govt and leading a country
On the other hand using a story about a tiny firm implementing an expenses policy change suggested by its employees to further support the company's green ethos as a battle ground for the whittling away of our freedoms as much more playground stuff but hey thats where we differ.
Now on a football messageboard I have no interest in debating to this level and being this serious all the time so I will deliver my point and my message in a light hearted and punchy way and if people don't like that or people don't get the point I am making then that is something I readily accept in the interests of my own enjoyment and entertainment.
If people disagree with my views then thats fine but despite what people might think about my motives for the posts I make their is almost always a genuine point within them that is true to something I care about or believe to be true
