Quite!
Pehaps this tale may help him
"
The Health Minister was visiting a hospital in Scotland and paused in one of the wards to speak with a patient. “How are you today?” he asked heartily.

“O wad some pow’r the giftie gie us tae see oursels as others see us” replied the patient.

The Minister was a little taken aback, but smiled, and passed on to the next bed. “And are you feeling better today?” he ventured.

“Wee, sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous beastie” the patient replied.

The Minister was baffled, but managed to press on, with smile still in place, to the next bed. “Are you comfortable?” he enquired cautiously.

“Some hae meat and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it!” was the answer.

The Minister smiled again, but left the ward feeling shaken. He turned to the doctor beside him, “How terribly sad, those poor folk”, he murmured. “Was that the psychiatric ward?”

“No, not at all”, replied the Doctor, “that was the Burns unit”.

Because with Brexit one of his sayings is about to come true and we can't stop it

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain For promis'd joy.

You are now apologising to dead people?

You've gone soft in the head.

And Burns is only quoted by people who have problems understanding English or people who have gone soft in the head.

And unappreciated by half wits too it seems.
Those early morning falls from the Belfry rafters could explain the softness in the head you mentioned
Which could explain your penchant for failing to understand Brexit. :cool:

Crime definitely pays
This report In the Guardian proves it!
Facebook to be fined $5bn for Cambridge Analytica privacy violations – reports
the fine will hardly make a dent in Facebook’s bank account. The company had more than $15bn in revenue in the first three months of 2019.
“This isn’t a fine, it’s a favor to Facebook, a parking ticket which will clear them to conduct more illegal and invasive surveillance,
Investors appeared to agree, and Facebook’s stock price jumped more than 1% when the news broke just before trading closed for the weekend.

Now every other country affected should slam a five billion fine on them. Choose whichever currency they like.
