I don't need your £, since Brexit my share portfolio has been performing far better than the whole 25 years I've had it rofl
So let me understand this. For 25 years you've managed your share portfolio so it bumbles along, and now due an unexpected and independent event it's doing really well.

Not exactly the new Warren Buffet, are you?

rofl
Not exactly fking Columbo, are you. I pay someone who knows what they're doing to manage it.

I take it you've made a bundle of late if you understand how the markets work? Seems the conditions are excellent...
Oh, I'm sorry. Let me re-phrase that.

The bloke you're paying, who you think knows what he's doing, isn't exactly the new Warren Buffet, is he?

I don't think his name's Warren and I wouldn't know his eating habits, but he seems to be finding more opportunities to make money than you are...

I assume as you *think* you know it all you're also making more money in these apparently favourable conditions?

The fact that Remoaners are not sharing in the benefits is entirely your own fault.
Why do you feel the need to always use a derogatory term when referring to people who would prefer to stay in the EU?

You think that everyone should pull together to make the best of the future yet you insult millions of those people with almost every post.
Secret "Antidote" to the "racist" and "thick" accusations from those that voted for remain
Surely what you are really saying is that you tacitly agree that a large portion of those that voted leave were racist and thick red top readers. You are just taking exception to the fact that you have made a vote with conscious thought no doubt for your own non-racist, non-thick reasons and that's admirable. Nobody likes to be tarred with the same brush as racists and thick people. I'd love to see the vote devoid of racist motivations to leave. I would hazard a guess that we would be remaining. In fact I'm certain we would be. So, your victory as it seems to be, has been swept through the door by racist thick people.
I'm not necessarily saying *you're* bigoted, but you're doing a fking good job of pretending.
Being intolerant of racists is not bigotry. Being intolerant of thick people making decisions for me is not bigotry. Generally, in my experience the two go hand in hand ie. racism and lack of intelligence. I still believe that without BIGOTED voters, we would be remaining. That is my point. We will never know of course.
And while I'm at it, thick people seem to make a lot of sweeping generalisations...
Touche!

I haven't made a sweeping generalisation though (and I am also intelligent enough to quote correctly), I simply said you personally appear a bit thick and bigoted.

Shall we leave this now. I'm not one for insults especially on a faceless forum. Who knows, you might be a nice guy.

And I still believe that without "project fear" the margin for leave would have been far larger..

That's my point and of course we will never know of course

It is a moot point, complicated further by the fact that, possibly, even if it were down to racists and bigots, it might still be the right choice. The fact is, no one can possibly know.

According to the Ashcroft polls which many remainers cite as reliable evidence on voters reasons for voting leave, 33% of those voting to leave used the following as the reason:

“offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders.”

It would be foolish to suggest that a % of the 33% were/are not racists, but the figure is probably a low %.

Whilst the polls did give %'s of age ranges that voted to leave, it didn't give bands of IQ ranges for those that voted to leave, according to the majority of remain supporters posting I'm guessing the range would be less than 50 at best.

It matters not though, as the UK is leaving the EU.
