Wow! Taking the bait!

Just had a look at the new post list. The Brexit Forum seems to win by a mile.

Talk about the salmon that jumps on the hook for you. It looks like the pros are easily prodded into action. So silly but someone is having fun.


BTW Mods this post is not about Brexit but human nature.

It's human nature, alright. It's like sitting outside and swatting away insects. Though they are a bit of a nuisance, they aren't biting and not enough of a problem to get out of your chair to deal with them.

Is this another fishing thread? Because I reel-y don't think we want to trawl through all that again.

Human nature, eh?

I can't help but wonder what (just for example) Australian reactions would be to say Chinese external would-be negative influencers in a similar situation?


I think it's pretty safe to say that in many countries such a determined and persistant attempt to provoke discontent from external sources would not have continued unchallenged for as long as it did in the example you're discussing.

But what is done is done.
Just like Brexit hopefully that episode too is over and finished; now is the time to move on.

Nobody in their right mind gives a flying toss about brexit. But I'm pleased to see interest from downunder.
