At last nights World Swimming Championship one of swimmers asked for a minutes silence in respect for victims of terror. His wish was refused.In his race he remained on blocks.Marvellous gesture by Alveres..( report didn't give his first name)

Folk come in here to reinforce their industrial strength self righteous opinions against Brexit,not to offer any optimism about leaving. That's been obvious since around post 10...Not sure all the ranting actually serves a purpose now but its keeping a lot of nurses happy.
Thank you for bringing the response of that swimmer to our attention. It was a noble gesture on his behalf. I must however have some sympathy for the organisers. It is the same rationale which has all the international sporting bodies banning any badges and emblems from players jerseys.
Where and when do you stop. ? Almost ever icon, image, flag which unites some group , will be definition alienate another group. .. otherwise it serves no purpose.
Zatlan, the reason perhaps why much of the coverage on Brexit does not appear optimistic, is because the frequent contributors are not optimistic about its success. Excepting Woosh who is flying a flag of "it won't be too bad, and maybe common sense will prevail so as to mitigate the damage" , the classical Brexit supporter response is " we won , we are free , we have control, you lost so shut up" .
In fairness you yourself have railed against perceived injustices and Mal adminstration in the EU... valid points and have argued that there are some economists who believe the future is bright.
