Erodogan not hanging about.
Absolute trot. Cameron claimed brexit could start world war 3?
Haha. He never said such a thing.
Just goes to show the effect of propaganda.
Did you even bother trying to find out whether he said that? I suggest you find out what he said rather than other people's headline seeking paraphrasing.

And this is the sort of rubbish people had in their heads when deciding which way to vote....its pathetic
Examples could be multiplied. The Leave campaign was Project Fear all over: a toxic blend of xenophobia, racism, bigotry, nationalism, and good old fashioned ignorance.
Gove falsely claimed that Turkey would join the EU (feeding into the 'Millions of Muslims are coming for your daughters' rhetoric) and Farage claimed 'People do see a fifth column living within our country, who hate us and want to kill us.'
Evidence please.

The Leave campaign had it easy: they only had to convince ignorant people. It wasn't difficult.

I don't feel you can present an overly unbiased argument on these topics, you're so far to the left you make Green Peace look like The Tea Party movement

I didn't see anything in that article to support the claim that 'Turkey threatens WAR with America over cleric blamed for masterminding failed coup.'

But where did he threaten war?
Is this again akin to the David Cameron supposedly threatening WW3 comment above. A ridiculous paraphrase trying to drive an agenda.
A lot of us from both camps are getting fed up of the bitterness, and frankly poor losing, of some in the remain camp.
You guys lost. Admit defeat, and move on.
You're in Oz apparently so why you're so upset I don't know.

but you did read that keeping gulen in the USA is a hostile act against the republic of Turkey. In diplomatic terms thats very harsh language
I'd like to see what Turkey is going to do about it, other than some harsh language

No bitterness here. Hell, I'm one of the people who's opposed to a second referendum. I've said right from the start that the result of this referendum must be honoured, and the Tories should go full steam ahead with Brexit.
I'm not upset. Sure, I'm a bit disappointed that the value of my British passport will be massively downgraded as soon as the Brexit is official, but I can always apply for a fresh EU passport through my German ancestry.
Feel free to address any of the points I was discussing earlier.
