    Disastrous EU? In what way of form do you think its disastrous?

    You on the other hand continually and persistently break the rules and for that reason you are "de-platformed".

    The fact that I am accused of being a Brexiteer is not evidence of the forum being biased more that certain posters are unable to comprehend that their ideas are being challenged because they lack knowledge on the subject and therefore must invent some other reason as to why this happening. Sound familiar?

    Echo chambers are nothing new on the internet and whilst this thread is uncertainly biased it does not follow that the forum or the moderation is as well.

    In short, whilst you believe yourself to have an extremely important message that must be shared - kinda like the messiah - the rest of the forum, including those tasked with enforcing the rules, think that you're a very naughty boy!
    Actually Pann, he has broken some rules which would have made him egible for a ban or two.. and he has been banned one or two times in this thread. Prettty sure he has dodged the bullet more because of the amount of posts and people cbaing to read through them ...

    Guess Kallisto was right.

    Doubtless you'd like to pretend it was the "insults" or something but the stuff that was getting removed was totally innocuous.

    If someone can't handle the way I behave maybe they need to look at their own personality first because I'm mostly reflective.



    Please spare me the cutting edge 1970's comedy references.

    I'm no more or less self-important than you or any one else here. Do you really think the world desperately needs your re-tweets from public news sources?
    Yeah, yeah, it's not your fault... we all get it.

    Your posts were removed because you are banned, their content is irrelevant, and as result of your actions the mods don't want you posting here - that's all there is to it. As for deleting the innocuous posts of yours they don't want the hassle of going through your posts to sort out them from the ones where you nothing but insult people nor do they want reward you for creating hundreds of accounts so they delete your account which deletes all your posts.

    Yes! We know... it's not you, it's everyone else.

    Ooh. I am under no illusion of the importance (or lack of it) of my posts to others, however I did ever find myself in the position where I was deemed unwelcome on these forums I would certainly not create hundreds of accounts to post here... even if it was to share massively important things such re-tweets...

    You have made 12000+ posts most of which no one really gives a shit about. You aren't some kind of higher being that gets to pontificate.
    If you want to spend your time creating accounts to post on a website you've been banned from that's entirely up to you.

    Wow! 12,000 posts! That's very nearly as many posts as accounts you've created! And you seem to give a shit.

    But does making loads and loads accounts really make you happier??? I'm just not sure if it would be for me...

    Anyone else not impressed by this bluff of the UK increasing the budget of agencies now to deal with a no brexit deal, something the EU member states have been done months ago.

    It's also not a matter of just throw enough money at it and things will be fixed, the UK is far too late if this their time table to get things done. Also i don't know why they keep stressing their ports, the whole reason goods travel from the EU to the UK is that ours are far bigger and better suited for international trade. Not like the UK can avoid a recession with a no deal brexit.

    Funny thing is he acting as if you no lifed but you really only averaged 3.6 posts a day, which can be made in matter of minutes.

    ''One of the most prominent Conservative supporters of a second referendum told the Guardian on Friday he was actively considering defecting to the Lib Dems or sitting as an independent, a move that would leave Johnson at the helm of a minority government.''

    If that is after a local election the cons lost, he wouldn't have a majority anymore. Does that mean the EU has wait till the charade called an UK election is done before they finally leave?

    if enacted, it steals the +1 majority and puts the government into minus 1.
    unless some Labour vote with the government, it is a minority government as mentioned in the source.

    question is: will opposition use the opportunity ?

    It's not a bluff. It's a practical necessity unless they actually want to make things worse. Everyone on the continent was wondering when they'd actually start preparing. I mean leaflets are fine, but at some point you'll actually have to set things aside, hire people, make changes in the way stuff works...

    There is no opposition, that is the problem...

    Nah. Kallisto's one hell of a better human being than you are.

    What's interesting is that many posters here have gone out of their way to actually try and engage your debate but still you behave like a complete prick.

    I'm done now...

    I mean...I don't really engage with it anymore but I'm specifically not using the blocker because Burners fits of impotent rage are utterly hilarious and completely bizarre. No one gets offended when Burner insults them, their Corbyn crush is anime tier hilarity and in the end it's an interesting insight into the mind of a Momentum member. But they are yet to catch on that ultimately no one cares what they think and their barbs fail to land and instead cause great joy. So thank you Burner, you continue to amuse, we all eagerly await your next edition of "Everyone That Disagrees With Me Is A Blairite".

    Certainly, every time I read one of his posts it makes me swing a little to the right.

    If austerity is going to kill off his ilk, the sooner the better.
    Given that you voted for and apologized for the most right-wing government in recent political history it is difficult how you could swing much further...UKIP? The BNP?
    EDL?

    If I met you in a darkened alley you would likely already be on the ground covered in your own puke.

    I do see it as a bluff, since adding funds to those agencies now is a matter of optics, we are such a short time away and they are still debating the rest of the funds they want to give to those agencies. This is a weak single from the UK to the EU trying to get the EU to blink, won't work as all previous attempts.

    Perhaps if the UK did this more than a year ago during May, it might have had an impact but the EU has been preparing since May failed for a no-deal scenario.
