No.

We have a chance to stop Brexit before it does any lasting damage.

Why on earth would you think that, it’s not an enactment of genocide or a declaration of war or pursecution of any persons of any race, creed, colour or religion?

Indeed I do, however, starting with it though is not Godwin’s law, it’s a statement of opinion, it’s not the result of a descent into ludicrousness

It might be a corollary, for example: The people that call Godwin generally don't know what it means, so any thread discussing Goodwin cannot make any meaningful progress.

Calling Goodwin is NOT a thread win. yes

Then I should think you would know that I was not comparing Brexit to Hitler, merely pointing out that the majority of threads now tend towards mentions of Brexit, rather than Hitler.

i.e. Has Brexit replaced Hitler with reference to Godwin’s Law?

We'll still be left with a big hit to our international standing either way, but we have a chance to stop the worst of the lasting damage by calling it off.

I think he means that when a thread is started like "do you think I should but a red car" after two or three pages some turnip will say "its all the fault of fking brexit" where a few years ago they would have said "Its Hitlers fault there are red cars the ".

There are threads on cars on this forum? All I can see are Brexit ones. Its like applying Goodwin's law to a second world war forum...

Actually the angry frothing does not seem to be coming from a brexit direction - had we lost however I do agree that there'd be plenty of frothing then
