Selected extracts:

"planning to "
"claims could generate up to "
"hoping to "
"There are no fixed plans"

Hell yeah!

Way to go!

High five!
Funny how this comes out on the very day of the potentially negative publicity of JDW forcing Twitter to identify a "fake" twitterer who has apparently been posting for years.

Ah! just twigged and joined the dots about why my local very anti-Brexit CAMRA Branch Chairman with a Dutch wife / partner gives Wetherspoons short shrift - though retired dad's of a few other members sneak in to use the 50p off vouchers that come with their CAMRA membership to eke out their pensions.

"The high court’s Master McCloud laughed as she read a tweet posted on 11 July, the morning of England’s World Cup match with Croatia:
WETHERSP00NS
@Wetherspoon__UK
As it is #ENG⁠ ⁠first #WorldCup⁠ ⁠ semi-final since 1990, it looks like Gareth Southgate won’t be the only one wearing a waistcoat on #WaistcoatWednesday. Anyone wearing a waistcoat in ANY of our pubs will receive one free drink during the #ENGCRO match. #ItsCominHome"

So going on from this, is the real Donald Trump not really "realDonaldTrump" but simply "DonaldTrump" meaning the 'real' covfefe spouting ranty one an imposter?!? - is the interweb social world in reality satire conjured up in the imaginations by a fiendishly devious Swift like creator...

Caught in another lie.

Also. Our union is completely different to the EU.
I think you need to understand that although all lies are inaccurate statements not all inaccurate statements are lies.

If all inaccurate statements were lies then you would be the greatest exponent of terminological inexactitudes recently seen in this thread.

I think most of us know that the union of film editors is very different to the EU.

You don't know? and you obviously haven't actually any reason to advance to debate, have you? so why do you come on here attempting to distract others from debating their views and opinions.
As to wasting internet time, you are doing that by trolling to disrupt the discussion when you have nothing to add to it.
For instance since you are obviously clueless, how about explaining what "This century" rules and Policies are, and then instead of bitching you could actually make yourself relatively useful and interesting instead of just being a parasite on the thread
And as to you not knowing whether it could be good or bad, if that is the clarity of judgement you possess you are clearly out of your depth.
But he's right. We don't know. You think you know - but you don't.

You cling to your 'knowing' because of your fear of the unknown - one could even say the unknowable. As does the rest of the population. They would rather believe in a fantasy - a prediction - a theory - anything at all - rather than live in the truth - which is that you don't even know what your next thought is going to be.

Old Groaner...... you quite often chastise people for being 'off-topic' - and yet here you are yourself 'off-topic' (the subject of this thread is after all not the character of Mr (I assume) Fingers.

Just sayin'
My remark was on topic, yours isn't and is clearly click bait, so consider it clicked.. Happy now?

If you are incapable of looking at the evidence and reach an answer, that is your problem, I don't fear the "unknown" I fear what is obviously and clearly a dangerous path to take.
That is called being a normal human being.
"As does the rest of the population. They would rather believe in a fantasy - a prediction ""
Do you indeed, and take it on yourself to speak for them?
You might like to live in a fantasy rather than live in the truth, but the rest of the population should have the right to express their wishes on the matter.
As to this statement
"rather than live in the truth - which is that you don't even know what your next thought is going to be."
I trust that you are speaking for yourself! If that is your problem it's no wonder you are gullible to propaganda, and in danger of waking up tomorrow and not remembering who you are.

Anyway I am indulging you and wasting time on a post intended by you to disrupt the debate, so next time how about being on topic?

Once again, the world watches the undignified spectacle of a lame-duck British PM going grovelling to the EU in an effort to gain improvements to a 'deal' she only recently agreed upon.

Which countries, I wonder, will trust the UK in any matter in future after witnessing its leader welching on a deal for her own personal ends?

The country has been shamed by the UK's pathetic attempts to get something for nothing after years of whingeing and causing mischief through its representatives in Brussels.

May is a disgrace.

You are simply being provocative and posting rubbish just to disrupt the thread.

Have you got anything new and on-topic to add to the discussion at all?

Tom
In your opinion.

Here's what actually happened:

Old Groaner confronted somebody for being 'off-topic'. Later I noticed that he himself sent in a post that has nothing to do with Brexit.

I pointed this out to him.
