You, local Attachment 207771, don't know your right from your left! Perhaps it's a neurological defect?
Have you been away?
The tedious ERG references, rabid right wingers, the posts are peppered with it.
Still I would welcome your damascene conversion to the less tribal wastelands or is your new found observation a transient one, I suspect it might be just another urge to irritate as usual .

Characterizing your posts as "less tribal" in contrast to others' tribalism is laughable. You flail around and fling epithets without much comprehension or care. Doing that, you invite responses urging you to enunciate a clear position. But your reasoning has no clarity! Your modus operandi is to muddy the waters.
A case in point:
• your link and vague allusion to a Socialist Worker comment [dated 31 May 2016];
• or invoking Benn & Corbyn as definitive " lefty losers ".
You, local, are idiosyncrasy personified.

No-one has said starvation looms, what is at stake is increased prices for no real reason, that is already happening with normal foodstuffs and products, possibly not entirely due to Brexit, but Brexit isn't helping, even economists are stating clearly that there is a price to pay over Brexit, but with no discernible benefit.
Nowt to do with Brexit - problem is a World wide one.

The Remainers uttered not a word, not before the referendum nor after it, except to say 'No-one told us'.
The EU's unemployment status is far worse than that of the UK - so that does not hold out.
Truth? I have not heard anyone come out with the truth as yet. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth lies with the status of the World Market and the economies of dollar reliant countries.

Be that as it may - or may not - be, I'm sick as a parrot about losing all my rights as an EU citizen.....I'll be unable to go South for the Winter (e.g. to Portugal/Spain/S of France) without becoming 'an illegal' after just 12 weeks!

Just in case anyone was even slightly convinced by the europhile tosh about the EU not being for the benefit of the few;
Income and wealth inequality are at an all-time high in the EU.
In the 1980s, the average income of the richest 10 per cent was seven times that of the poorest 10 per cent. Today, it is about 9.5 times higher.
And wealth distribution is even more inequitable – the 10 per cent of wealthiest households hold 50 per cent of total wealth; the 40 per cent least wealthy own little over 3 per cent.

Your grasp of logic is slight, isn't it?
It was never a goal of the EU to address that, and it has little in the way of mechanisms to achieve it if it was. It focused more on overall prosperity, on which it has done a good job.
And as far as wealth distribution is concerned the UK hardly needs any help in rewarding the rich.

We have done worse than most and at least in many EU countries the welfare net is far more generous.
And you apparently support a government which has made this worse in the last ten years, and even in the fundamental issue of social care , years after claiming to have a solution, decided to hit the poor more than the wealthy.

By 2010 Labour had taken 1m children and 1m pensioners out of poverty.
By 2015 the Tories had put them all back in again, by 2022 that has risen.
Who Votes Tory?

It's all very well to come up with the statement "all time high" the fact remains we are one of the most unequal countries in Europe and indeed the world, you condemn the EU for something of which we are even worse.

Seems I have hit a nerve and in the process gained a few whatabouteries.
Didn't you realise what you were " voting" for ?
Maybe we should go on to racism in the mighty EU?
Bet you wish you had read a bit more..........
Didn't you you get ever so slightly suspicious of your remoaner backers?
More whataboutery to come I bet, but no honest rebuttal .

It would appear you have never understood the point of the EU
It is a confederation, not an empire.
It was never intended to, nor tried, to impose cultural and political uniformity on its members ; one of the reasons why our "sovereignty" argument was always bogus.
It would be a major surprise if across over 30 countries and 450 million people, there would not be racism somewhere. I don't like what is happening in Poland and Hungary, for example. But their ability to pursue their own path demonstrates the fraud behind our sovereignty claims.
And at least EU citizens can use the ECJ route to call their governments to account. By contrast our government is busy eliminating constraints on its actions.

That's rich from the forums Euro Dummy, your posts just keep exposing your ignorance like so many things you claim knowledge or experience of.
The paucity of your understanding of the aims of the EU is laid bare.
To put it bluntly you don't have a clue but worse think you do.
