26 Reasons for Leaving the EU.

I'll be interested to read our Brexiteers views on the above.


Brexiters don't even care if it's true or not. Just as long as they
can be shouty, angry and win. it's populism, it's nationalism, it's
post-truth politics.

Only a remainer would say something like that.


The irony is that that is exactly what remain is - post truth politics.

Just as long as they can be shouty, angry and win. it's populism, it's
nationalism, it's post-truth politics.

Only in this case its the EU representing the national entity.

How many people waving Jacks on the streets? How many waving EU flags?

Leave DID win.

Really?

I seem to recollect that winning involved a gain of some kind.

Have you not won anything? You poor thing.

I don't gamble. For every winner there are losers. The buzz of a win
does not appease the depression of a loss.

Likewise, where the winnings are less than the money you put in. I think
the National lottery payout is around 30%.

But never taking a gambol is different. We knew you had an abusive
personality, we can now add 'boring'.

I'm an Engineer. I do not take risks.

That doesn't surprise me. I said you were boring.

Wrong again. You are thinking of a mechanical Engineer.

I wasn't. Typical of a Remoaner to think they know what's in my mind.
Perhaps your first field of work was psychology but were forced to
change when you got everything wrong.

Mechanical engineers think in the real world. You seem perpetually to be
in another.

Mechanical Engineers often specialise in boring devices. I do not!


I do have a battery drill back in the UK, but only used it in a work
related task once.

I didn't even book it on expenses :-)

If not wholly and exclusively used for work, then I should hope not.

One has One's principles!

Wholly and exclusively sounds a bit steep though.

But having worked on sites secured by the military police, I tend to
be fairly paranoid about a clear definition of government and my
property.

My manager was arrested once, I left a portable TV in the MOD stores
for him to collect.

Bloody MOD plods, how the flipping hell they could suspect a portable
TV was government property on a military site dealing exclusively with
arms and ammunition beggared belief. At least the civilians needed an
o level or two to get on the force.

Every MOD plod became a Brexit voter no doubt.
