Hmm.

You can dissagree with others as much as you like, but as soon as you stop being objective, you become an extremist. Those who voted to leave, believe it's not self-harming and is in the nation's best interests so your analogy is nonsensical, even if you're right, that it will harm the UK.

The main stream media are biased. A classic example is how they how the reported on protests by the English Defence League vs the BLM. The EDL protests were seen as violent and unruly, wilst the BLM peaceful. The truth is that that the EDL and BLM are both extremist organisations and neither protest was peaceful, but BLM committed more public order offences and acts of vandalism. BLM got away with more because they have a nice sounding name, which no sane person can possibly dispute, but has little to do with their goals and is left-wing, which matches the idealogy of the main stream media nicely.

Brexit won't be good, but I take what the main stream media says with a huge pinch of salt.

Is Switzerland a religious/ Catholic country or something?  Certainly large parts of Europe are pretty relaxed about those kinds of things - and while politicians are busy with that, they are not doing damage elsewhere!  :D

The Swiss hate everyone and everything from experience :-DD

Note: half my family is Swiss and they'll quite happily say the same things about their own family members in the next Canton as well.

The bureaucrats seem to think there's a stationery solution.

I'll get my coat...  :)

Canton? We call it GuangZhou these days. We have family there.
