    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you're blaming the wrong professional. He sounds a sociopath who should have been locked up. I.e. a criminal responsible for his behaviour,not mentally ill. That sounds a failure of policing. Back as an intern I sat through many cases where temporary insanity ("emotional automatism") was...

    I was quoting the words in the article ( "swiss and not off immigrant background"), these attempted smears are getting a bit tedious.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did some of an internship on a forensic unit,twenty years ago. The process by which individuals are assessed to have been responsible for an alleged offence (ie not insane) and able to stand trial is thorough and objective ( in the southern hemisphere based on a diagnostic system called the...

    Well,Swiss and not of immigrant background http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-37072847 But don't let the facts get in the way of prejudice..

    Brexit must have pleased Isis as much as it did Putin. Breaking up the liberal alliance in the West with imaginary terrorists,without having to do anything like in France recently in the UK.

    in a parallel world you should have become a group therapist instead of an engineer. OK Tillson, its fine to respond in the "non comprehendos" way as part of painting yourself into a corner. I also paint myself into corners, often, we all do, it's fine. However, it must be said the UK has been...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    still struggling with the reading, huh? Or is this that recurring attempt to accuse others of racism? Interesting that. I said the UK in its relationship with the EU has been xenophobic and disruptive. However, if the shoe fits you are most welcome to wear it.

    Carney's doing a great job. Brexiters have a problem with reality,and it includes the drastic growth deficit he as one of the few adults at the table is trying to deal with. Its unsurprising leave voters want to shoot the messenger. If any of that offended you ms flud,my apologies, and can i...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I dont really mind the financial impact either,in part because I feel as an African that I can live a pretty good life on relatively little in Europe. But generally we talk here as if there will be a happy ending,an EU that accepts a still intact UK back into the fold after a rough patch. I...

    But there is part of brexit that was about a jingoistic - even racist - fantasy about english nationalism. For a uk outside the major trade blocks in the world that fantasy will disolve quickly. Without eu membership countries like china will rapidly make it clear to the uk who needs who.

    Yikes Flud and here i was thinking og may be being too hard on you. The uk could have done something much more meaningful and proactive than the selfish conditional crap it gave the EU for years. I'm not french,im a mixed race african. In my experience the french dont hate each other. Theyre...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    well, perhaps in part - but I think mainly 1945 involved Russia via Stalingrad keeping the French free from tyranny; and I'm not at all sure the analogy of a brexit uk as a symbol of freedom and democracy entirely works.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I half agree, but is that "article 50 now!" as in "OK you Tory onanists, you talked the talk now walk the walk and get annihilated so we can all see how you royally screwed the country!" if it is its worth bearing in mind they're dragging all the rest of us with them into the bottomless pit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    however, and I think most of you may disagree, I feel the UK has often been the bully in the UK EU relationship. perhaps its time the UK as a bully finds out how big the other kids in the playground are when its not part of to my mind a relatively benign EU, that gave it much leverage and voice...

    the problem is he isn't an anomaly. many UK companies pension funds are badly underfunded, and recently, I think priti patel, said they shouldn't be pressurised too much to balance pension funds while in difficult financial times (which sounds to me like a licence to asset strip frankly). I have...

    i wonder how long the "not calling for memebership ofteh single market" will last? The pound is down to 1.16 euro https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/gbp-live-today/5278-pound-to-euro-forecast-to-fall-to-1-1600-in-week-ahead so equity in about two months or less at this rate. However, the...

    I agree and its what ive done too though i sometimes think it may have been too conservative,financially speaking given that we may be in for low interest rates high inflation for a long time,but as you say we may also not,its always the opposite of what everyone expects that happen in a boom...
