Kaz, I understood that completely and never took offence.

As I said, this is very emotive. People are losing what they see as a nice comfy life because others, who believe we are sleepwalking into UK oblivion, voted to end it.

This could never be anything other than acrimonious.

One side sees a child sitting in their pushchair, dummy soaked in syrup and half asleep, now having a tantrum because the dummy has been unceremoniously ripped away.

The other side sees a child kicking and screaming in their pushchair because they want to get out and run; believing that once they get out, running will pale after an hour, but by then everyone's pushchair and dummy will be gone

Hardly a situation made in heaven for an animated discussion.

Never a truer word - and it would have been acrimonious which ever way the referendum result went, TBH.

It has revealed fault lines in this country that we all knew were there, but in the British way, we had all been quietly papering over the cracks. Cameron's decision simply blew that wide open.
