You know why full well. I talk too much sense, besides heard you were interviewing candidates, on your days off from co op window..
Brexit, for once some facts.

- Start date
Concern for a post-'Brexit' UK has been shown as far away as Australia as this question from 'Barry' demonstrates:
'Given that the Windsors are really the Saxe-Coburg Gothas, will they get to stay in the UK after 'Brexit' or will such a privilege be extended to skilled migrants only?'
Seems to me like a perfectly reasonable question to ask.

With the exception of Philip, they were all born here so have English nationality,
If we started deporting everyone who had a foreign parent or grandparent, there wouldn't be many left in the country and London would be deserted!

robdon disliked my last post and liked flecc's last post.
Would robdon care to explain why?

I can see a clear difference. I made two observations in relation to OldTom's post, without any criticism of the poster or even referring to him.
Wherever possible I try to keep the personal out of discussions and think members prefer it that way.

I usually do.
My post was in reply to oldtom's conclusion:
With hindsight, I should have perhaps included the above quote.
This thread started with remainers holding what you may say a factual high ground if such a thing exists. Now remainers tend to wander off into side issues and indulge in shouting instead of persuading.
Perhaps unlike you he is a man of few words, but creditable judgement?
There is no pollution problem.Instantly solving the pollution problem!
There is no global warming problem.
There is no peak oil problem.
There is no water shortage anywhere in the world.
There is no land contamination problem.
There are only two problems, the first of a grossly excessive human population, the second the refusal to face up to that fact.

This little item is somewhat though not entirely off-topic, being no more than a very tenuous tangential issue, significant only in as much as it reveals a shocking illustration of history repeating itself.
It's a long way from the current concerns about the impact of 'Brexit' and a long way from Europe geographically but unless human rights are embraced by such places as Chechnya, then we all, as a race, have failed.
I'm sure there will be no easy answer to how the message can be delivered in such a way that change can be brought about but the more advanced nations must do more to include these rogue states rather than maintain a distance, calling them pariahs and simply not attempting to find a way to live in harmony and with respect.

Meanwhile in Syria, what should we make of this recorded interview? Is the reporter telling the truth or is it a paid-for propaganda exercise?

In Washington, this White House press secretary made this Freudian slip....or was he actually telling the truth?
