    Brexit, for once some facts.

    to be fair, tom called posters who engaged in bigoted, shameful insulting so - quite rightly. being humane can include insisting that others treat each other and oneself with a degree of humanity and respect. freedom of expression does not include the right to abuse others. farage and le penn...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    couldn't agree more, especially re choosing to be a member of the human race, which is about ethics and values, as opposed to the accident of birth that causes "nationality", a hypothetical construct used to manipulate naïve members of the electorate.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    i'm from Africa and have some experience of the corruption of national governments. I don't mean to entirely disagree (because I think there is some merit in what you say), BUT I don't think anything the eu can do, has ever done (or may ever have contemplated doing) could possibly trump Blair's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    hmmm..as in "elicit lovers of married people", I suspected as much from all the, er, energy and passion.. but on a more serious note, as phrases for coming out go ("till son and I are paramours") that one is spot on, positively Shakespearian in its first person emotive suspense and emphasis. I'm...

    Disillusioned

    this kind of rings true for my experience as well with one massive but - which is that I realised somewhere along the line an ebike doesn't really make financial sense, one has to think of it as a lifestyle accessory, a cheap underpowered somewhat (highly debatable) kind of Harley - something...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you know that subtle attempt to close the thread down ("most brexiters realised this and have withdrawn") sounds very familiar (somehow the word tillson pops into my mind), er, how on earth did you know "brexiters have withdrawn from this thread" if you've just joined?

    for what its worth, we major on "justifying and repeating" on this thread;) perhaps may should create a ministry for that with brexit

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    screaming "no" and putting your hands over your ears does not constitute an argument. forecasts are always wrong (it's why it's called forecasts). what have you got (other than the side of a bus and prejudice)?

    that's the office of budget responsibilities assessment of the impact of brexit (with the usual caveat that it may not be as valid as what one of nige's racist buddies worked out on the back of a fag packet)

    you may find that you need to say that to yourself more and more as your circumstances deteriorate. probably in a rising tone until it becomes unintelligible. whatever happens, don't try to think.

    In the nicest possible sense,you realise you are talking about people who look at trump or farage and see a hero? Not seeing that brexit cant work economically is in the same ball park. Theyre never going to get it. I'm afraid with some only Darwinian evolution offers an answer.

    thanks to Hammond. you've got to hand it to him, in his nice understated way he told brexiters were comprehensively screwed. he used to be a second hand car salesmen. by the time a car dealer tells you a car he's trying to sell you "is not good" you're in very, very deep doggy do territory.

    but I suspect the real price rises are ahead. remainers don't have much choice - or, happily, culpability or guilt to struggle with. come next year and the real price rises and I expect manic levels of denial as the brexit morons become more vociferous in their attempts to rationalise to their...
