    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Vince did that remember. the Westminster system has very little to do with actual representation. your'e also ignoring significant (unhelpful, self focussed and destabilising but that's not Europe's fault) changes UK has made to the EU development over the years. it could have gone on to make...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    in one sense this is good: watching Theresa may try to deliver on brexit is like watching a train crash in ultra slow motion. the longer she stays in charge and the longer cognitive dissonance stop the part of the electorate who voted for it from acknowledging their error the bigger the damage...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    but is that entirely unreasonable? taken to its logical extreme I can declare my house independent of the uk, not pay any taxes, and rely on the generosity of others to provide my protection, streets, infrastructure. or London could vote for independence from the uk (it would be much better off...

    what a small minded jingoistic comment. I'm not in the united kingdom.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you don't think about the decision. its all a blend of far fetched assumptions (and some trolling on zlatan's part). no offence, but that is very typical of what brexitters come up with when challenged with facts (metaphors about sailing, patriotic flights of fancy, personal attack). I imagine...

    what can I say. you and peter's posts gives one such an acute sense of the mentality behind the brexit decision.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Too true, brexiters don't like democratic discourse, dissent (a bit like Ledsom when she accused media of treason for questioning it). What can I say, this isn't North Korea. As it becomes ever more apparent what an unbelievably stupid, misguided decision it was there will be consequences.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    very true (specially sailboats, that sail themselves beautifully). the thing most boats struggle with is a fat lunatic with a fire axe chopping the bottom to pieces. that's brexit. not so much the titanic hitting a berg. more the golden oldies on the upper deck morphing into self destructive...

    Well, chartering is a mugs game, usually funded by deferring vat on new yachts where that makes sense(wouldn't have thought bvi) no wonder you like brexit

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your posts become ever more ironic. What exactly do you think brexit is about? It's about May's hubby's g4s raking in tax payer money and delivering ever less more abusive services to the most vulnerable. That is an analogy for brexit being about the ugliest parts of global capital jumping on an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Irony indeed. there you are, defending a system that's all about keeping you serving on the unprincipled who raid pension funds, dump the proceeds in plastic tubs and care less about you than they do about the public. There's more to life than that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This smacks of the brave new 21st century manufactured fake world we're growing into in which it becomes about marketing not truth or anything intrinsic. Treating the electorate like sheep that have to be conned into whats good for them is potentially more patronising (than suggesting their...

    Me too, but if you lived in Amsterdam, with many great cycle paths and cycling infrastructure (instead of a town in England with one potholed knobbly shoulder less road jammed with irate commuters in cars) it could have been very different

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    one has to worry about the mental state of the electorate. they also buy lies about immigration, the nhs and almost everything else on a regular basis. from sneering, blatant liars like reese mog. perceived self interest (as with immigration) and all sorts of jingoism no doubt comes into it. im...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    for a more balanced adult response, most brexiteers I've spoken too invariably speak about immigration. much as you and peter have. and most when challenged with facts that contradict their assertion that immigration was the reason for the suffering of the poor in uk become defensive. the reason...
