No, that would be a name.
As you appear to be this thread's spelling and grammar expert, you shouldn't allow yourself to make such silly mistakes.


You're welcome.

Can one not simply replace the word No Deal with the more obvious Crashout?. No Deal is putting a gloss onto a really dangerous concept. People not unreasonably think that No Deal means "steady as she goes" , no change, no extra deal ..It doesn't!!!.

Or even better we could replace it with leave on WTO terms.

Much fairer in all regard.

It's genuine, the Catholic Herald has always lived in the past.

The irony is that the 19th century past he speaks of so lovingly was when Catholics were still very strongly discriminated against.
.
In what way?

I would argue they were the most privileged sect in the world.

Certainly not in England in the 19th century.

During that century some of the large number of discriminative laws were gradually repealed , but it wasn't until 1974 that a Catholic could be Lord Chancellor. And we still have the Act of Settlement that prevents us having a Catholic monarch or the monarch having a Catholic spouse.

Being much older than you I remember an age when some militant protestant organisations routinely violently broke up Catholic meetings and services with the police giving no protection.

Who was a more privileged sect in the world?

I would say the only establishment against them were freemasons.

To say a catholic was strongly discriminated against in the 19th century is just plain wrong. And without going too deep a bit of an insult to those who were strongly discriminated agin.

Stop being wrong Flecc.

Youre talking kak, as usual. No, my slow friend, the uk already trade on WTO terms with much of the world as part of the EU.

Glad we are friends again mate.

Despite our differences I like to think we would get on really well in the real world.

I doubt it, I quite value sincerity. But I'm happy you're happy. Now if you could just get your facts straight and cut out some of the bs?

The Umpiring in the test is probably the worst I've ever seen.

It's so wrong I'd argue Flcc would do a better job!

I'm always happy my friend. Life is great! I wish I didn't work as much so I could travel and do more things. Things like meeting you. Me and you would be best friends in the real world.

I just know it.
