    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well this is a revelation from the person who magically produced 14 million people and when challenged produces a feeble attempt at an excuse of figures of speech. Quoting Numbers is not a figure of speech . Those of us who have spent our adult lives in numerate disciplines value veracity...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Conservative voters are People ,not THE people,and as many as exist should be respected as much and no more as lefty liberals or Greens ,or the DUPed. Using the definite article is reminiscent of the Afrikaans and their choice of DER Volk. .. surely you are not in favour of restricted voting...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was not going to.. there has been enough untruths without increasing the supp!y , but it is correct the UK is still a nett contributor and beneficiary ,and the EU is still giving those grants to disadvantaged areas , reducing that untruthful 350 to close to 1/3 nett of that figure. Before you...

    Not needing to defend Woosh, but he has provided the facts. In the UK you elect essentially a group of dictators ,unbound by anything,except their judgement and a respect for precedents, to lord over you. If you,the electorate, have failed in selecting people of good judgement,then the fault...

    Finally a logical set of statements. The only flaw in their voting intentions is that they attacked the wrong target.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    These recycling of "facts " needs to be confronted each and every time they are trotted out. Need I yet remind you that the UK has NOT left the EU?. Need I remind you that the euro/ pound is trading around an exchange rate of 0.86 having been as bad as 0.91, whereas before the referendum it...

    "It's a prediction. No one can predict the future though". Yeah Fingers, they can and they call them predictions. The clue is the prefix "pre." . There is little value in predicting the past. But then a media mogul like yourself would have known that.

    Yes it is highly unfortunate that there is prejudice based on skin colour. But it is not only White on Black , but it is on Black on Blacker ..as much information from the USA testifies. Indeed I saw it myself ,where the young women in Siagon were wearing full facemasks, not for the air...

    Look how far racial and religious tolerance has actually improved in Europe over the last 70 years. There are a number of shocking documentries available on Netflix, showing just how fertile the ground was for progroms against Jews or whoever in Balkan and Baltic states. We have come a long way.

    80 -66 = 14 million fictional people, and since the 0 to 16 year olds have very little interest in even domestic politics , an exagerated statistic,...and that is not spin

    Yes the Green party doubled their representatives,and voting was up by 10%. Sounds like a good result.

    It is I think particularly Anglo Saxon problem.in this case including Ireland, and seems to be less of a problem in mainland Europe. I am open to correction here, but house purchase prices,except perhaps flats in major cities do not inflat.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having done my share of caravaning in earlier decades, I have come to the conclusion that the main obstacle to affordable accommodation is sewage. We have what can only be described as a scandal in housing here in Ireland with entire families being forced to live in hotels at state expense...

    That would of course be correct, but the argument that 17.4 trumps 15.8 ,kind of defeats the numbers argument
