because how am i technically a troll if this is supposedly an open platform?
-
But before you ban me, you should change the description of lfgss to 'a forum for Left-wing, remainer cyclists' to prevent cretins like myself from commenting

Velocio, I completely respect your right to ban me from this private forum, just as Claridges has the right to tell a breast feeding mother to cover up. Please ban me

(no point in having a debate with an individual who retrospectively edits his comments)

Your profile pic should be anikin, not chewy. Anikin was the moral young boy who turned into darth vader - the ruler of some nuts intergalactic superstate, much like the 'moral' eco and workers' rights concerned minds behind the eu project, who end up becoming the morbid corporate deathstar that they are. Chewy and Hans solo are the grassroots fighters who helped save the universe from the overbearing forces of the dark side.
Seldom Killer might as well have yoda as his profile pic, in reflection of his humble, eloquent, professor-like nature.

I am not personally in favour of using the government to fund cycling infrastructure - the government has vastly more important issues to sort out before pandering to cyclists (many who secretly love the thrill of weaving through traffic, watch macaframa with their mates in fakenger attire). Only when our government balances the books will I be in favour of spending the hard-earned money of others on the endless demands of the cyclist community

if RATP, DB or Abelio get fucked in one way or another, they have german, dutch and french taxpayers ready to bail them out. A true private operator would collapse into bankruptcy if they did not drastically slash ticket prices and/or improved services.

our 'privatised' transport network is run by the dutch, french and german government agencies (DB, Abelio, RATP etc..), who use eu 'competition' laws to keep them in place. Temporary regulation from westminster is required in this instance, and regulations imposed by westminster will never surpass the labyrinthine maze of eu regulations and directives. Future westminster regulation in this sphere, no matter how much it appears to be 'nationalisation' would be a step down in regulation from the status quo in the eu

ok I didn't realise I was addressing the oxford union, rather I am making short statements on a casual forum in which people use the word 'stupid' or 'idiot' for those who disagree with them without providing an eloquent followup of evidence using the Harvard system (please visit previous pages on this thread).
breifly speaking, all the remainers admit that there are (drastic) democratic flaws with the eu, brexit essentially sheds a layer of bureaucracy (of course we will have to adhere to some eu regulations but by no means all) and (thankfully) we have a non-left wing government whose ideology is entirely based upon small government - the demolition of bureaucracy is in itself the decentralisation of power, as it prevents overly-zealous technocrats from intervening in society. One piece of evidence for you to suck on is May's wonderful decision to axe the Department for energy and climate change, dispersing power away from government and from the corporate giants like shell and bp or even people like David Cameron's uncle who use all this cuddly green regulation to their advantage.
i suppose you are right
