Nearly a third could not be bothered to get of their a&*e and vote (and lets be honest virtually everyone was catered for[polling booths were open at 7 in the morning until 10 at night, there were postal votes for anyone who couldn't make that 15 hour slot) either way. Using this precise logic we could say 2/3 rds DID NOT vote to remain. Yes it was only a SLIGHT majority of those who could be bothered to vote who voted leave but in a democracy (when no limits are set. As they were in the Scottish independance referendum in '79) a slight majority is still a majority (50%+1) |

Fredxx wrote A step into the unknown can lead to greater things. And it can lead to disaster too. Not with this situation it can't. We can see that the bulk of the economys that matter do fine with WTO rules and dont need a free trade area to avoid a disaster for their economy. The odds on brexit leading to better things for the majority are pretty low. Another lie. A no deal brexit means that the majority will be free to buy the best the world produces with no tariff applying instead of having to pay a tariff premium if they prefer what the rest of the world produces instead of what is produced in the EU. There will be plenty of opportunity for the rich to exploit brexit though. Another bare faced lie. We do know, hard Brexit is on the cards because the EU want to split up the UK. Imagine how Spain would feel if there was a new border between Catalonia and the rest of Spain, or a new border separating East and West Germany. Do get real. No deal where there is a border in the Irish Sea will ever be acceptable. The EU doesn't want the UK split up. They clearly do with the hare brained scheme to have northern ireland continue in the EU free trade area once the rest of Britain has left it. They don't want an open border unless the other country applies its import rules. Which is splitting the UK up, stupid. Its the brexiteers that want to split the UK because they can't think of any way to achieve what is wanted by the EU. More of your flagrant dishonesty you are notorious for. Its not surprising that they can't they thought the EU would just cave in and accept whatever they said. More of your flagrant dishonesty you are notorious for. |

It's bound to come out with other statements without reading others opinions. I don't need to read your 'opinion' to know just how little you understand about human beings. I don't blame you for that because as a left brainer, how could you? The facts are all there for anyone with an open / human / high EQ ability to see. Very few people were thinking of us leaving the EU as a solution to our (mostly internal) problems. When pushed into doing it and the highly questionable vote went the way it did (and the only way that made any difference), the PM resigned. Then the leader of the very party that caused it all resigned. Then two Brexit secretaries resigned. Then numerous MP's resigned. Now, two years later we are still arguing over if we should do it or not and if we do it we have no idea what impact that will have on us. If it was actually a good idea, a real solution to anything then 1) More people would have requested it, 2) more people would have voted for it and 3) we would have done it by now. So, until I see your opinions deal with the real world (not some arbitrary numerical threshold) and you start considering the opinions of the *vast majority* who didn't vote to leave the EU, I'll not consider your arrogant (lazy voters etc) opinion seriously. Cheers, T i m |

Yes, so if it says you heat a meal in an oven for 20 minutes, would you do say 15 mins today and the remaining 5 the next, when you are ready to eat it? The point is that yes, whilst 'a day' is 24 hours, it isn't how many things interpret the term. A 'day ticket' for fishing is just that, valid on the day you bought it and often excluding night fishing (so would typically expire at dusk, no matter what time you bought it). Neither would you be able to claim the unused hours the next day because that's a 'different day'. I have emailed the council to ask them I bet I can predict the outcome. ;-) and I also asked them if it is normal for parking attendants[1] to park on double yellow lines and then start issuing tickets to cars parked on the double yellow lines. Interesting one (that I'm sure someone here could answer from a legal viewpoint). Like is it acceptable for the police to speed and jump traffic lights whilst on a shout?

It would be funny if it weren't so serious. Quite. ;-( Brexiteers like Moggie claiming the moral high ground just because of a simple majority in a vote. They are either left brainers (=can't help it) or think they have got away with a scam and are clinging onto the outcome as long as possible. When it is plainly obvious even the well informed didn't fully understand the issues. To me this is no different to yer old aunty falling for 'builder' offering to fix her non-broken roof or being able to do their drive 'cheap' because they have some tarmac left over from another job. So how could Joe Public be expected to? They couldn't (of course). Just like the pressure salesmen using the old 'I can only give you this deal if you sign today ...' scam, Brexit was a trap for those with axes to grind about a whole load of other things, the majority nothing to do with our membership of the EU (or that couldn't be resolved using existing laws, like sending EU workers home if they haven't found work after 6 months). Perhaps we should go back to the days of buying votes with money. I'm not sure how that would have helped me as it wasn't the voting or the resulting outcome that was the issue, but the process used to get there. It would be like the Police fabricating evidence against you (or being frugal with the truth / facts) to force a prosecution though. We saw (or I saw) the program covering the referendum campaign and it was as one expected, people doing all they could to buy / trick / con often targeted / gullible people into voting Leave. This reminds me of the Leave campaign ... hordes of Turks coming in etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXi35VowjMI At least then the voter gets something. Unlike the false promises of the leave campaign. There is that I guess. ;-) Cheers, T i m |
