Nope, in the same way that I wouldn't 'congratulate' someone for gambling someone else's family rent on an unknown horse that just happened to win. If even one Brexiteer could have given us any provable odds over the last 3.5+ years re the likelihood of us *all* coming out of this better off (in all the important meanings of the word), then that might have been something ... but they haven't? In fact, much of what they put forward is no more than hopes, dreams and guesswork, just gambling again. If it was such a dead cert, why didn't more than 1/3rd of the electorate put their money on it? Why did nearly the same number go against it? Why did it take lies and tricks to scam the vote in the first place? Are you really one of those people who are happy to take the win because your horse was on steroids and the other wasn't?;-( Anyone who actively increases the cost of living, or reduces the quality of life to others for bogus / selfish reasons should be charged [1] for it. ;-) So how much can I charge you for reduction in my life quality I have to endure reading your never ending drone about leavers, remainers, and brain chirality? Really John, you can usually manage logic and reason better than that. ;-( 1/10 Cheers, T i m |
