Political preference was never mentioned in amongst sunlit uplands, and funding the NHS. It's all a load of bollocks. It's a bad deal with real world consequences. That's a fact.

Covid offers an easy get out of jail free card for supporters, though.
"Brexit hasn't made anythibg better though has it." "Well it WOULD have but Covid came along and ruined the economy so..." Its sort of like a form of plausible deniability. |

The whole thread is based on an opinion not a fact so who cares?...

Even in that post I gave facts that should be easily disprovable to a debate-minded guy like yourself.

We're adults here, we should have the reading comprehension to differentiate between someone saying a fact and someone stating an opinion. Attacking someone's posts by falsely suggesting they are stating an opinion as fact says more about the person doing it then the posts they attack.
Perhaps we should clearly signpost when something is a fact or an opinion for the benefit of those lacking in basic reading comprehension. |

no reading comprehension is required when the text states "It's a bad deal with real world consequences. That's a fact."
Not getting at slim, just pointing out the absurdity of saying something is an opinion when its clearly stated as a fact |

Remembering Kerry

Quote:
Tony Blair didn't sign the Maastricht treaty, that was the Cons and Major. Tony Blair wasn't even leader of the Labour party at the Maastricht treaty time. All the treaties signed most under the Cons in their 18 years of unbroken power, were never put to the UK in a referendum. There were amendments later as other Nations joined. Blair definitely was in favour of joining the Euro too. Which he wasn't given the green light to do by his then Chancellor Gordon Brown. However the whole concept of the Maastricht treaty was in 1992, when Major was PM. In fact he had a nightmare time of things apparently then from his own backbenchers.

It doesn't really matter, I don't take something as a fact unless it can be backed up. Pretty much everyone is stating an opinion in this thread, it's only when certain parties have nothing to add that they reach for the whole 'misconstruing opinions as facts' card.

And then predictably had nothing else to offer when given the chance.

And I'm happy to standby the fact that this is a bad deal with real world consequences.

References to decades-old computer software are included in the new Brexit agreement, including a description of Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Mail as being "modern" services.
Experts believe officials must have copied and pasted chunks of text from old legislation into the document. The references are on page 921 of the trade deal, in a section on encryption technology. It also recommends using systems that are now vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The text cites "modern e-mail software packages including Outlook, Mozilla Mail as well as Netscape Communicator 4.x." The latter two are now defunct - the last major release of Netscape Communicator was in 1997. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55475433 --------------------------------- This bodes well |
