Is having the last word some sort of compulsion?

Your idea of 'proof' leaves a lot to be desired. Stating something as fact does not make it so. Simply opinion and supposition, nothing more however much you try to convince others otherwise.

Any long term forecasts should be taken with a pinch of salt, either good or bad.
The economy will go up and down whatever we do.

When did I ever say my opinion was fact? Do I have to state the obvious and say 'in my opinion' at the end of every sentence for your benefit? It's a qualified opinion. Most of the benefits that the leave campaign relied on have been been debunked FACT. The UK was under investigation for Human Rights Abuse and leaving the EU has put the kibosh on that (and any future attempts by the EU of preventing severe cuts for social funds for disabled people) FACT. Therefore it's fair to say that most Leave was basically a campaign against Human Rights masked as something else. It's looking likely that we will have a soft brexit which means things won't change except we likely won't be beholden to those 'pesky' Human Rights laws that the EU enforces. If you have something USEFUL to add besides inane jabs then by all means, go ahead. |

The NHS has been deemed to be a 'humanitarian crisis' if that's not an indicator of a failing on a monumental scale I don't know what is.
The one pledge that the UK got behind for brexit is that it would be safe, and it isn't... they lied. You would think that would make millions very angry... but it hasn't, personally I don't understand that. Is the failure to act on their promises being excused? Are out voters too embarrassed to admit they were duped? Don't they care anymore?... :/

Well yeah the statement was a humanitarian disaster and two articles say the NHS disagree. You're quoting one political source but that doesn't mean the NHS don't disagree. I can only pass on the information, if you have a problem with the content or any conflicting comments in it, take it up with the author.
The NHS is expensive to run, it always has been.

Why would voters be embarrassed as Brexit has not yet occurred and we are still paying millions to the EU. People who, like you, don't want Brexit also keep interfering in the Brexit process in an attempt to stop it or water it down to such a degree that Brexit won't even be the Brexit people voted for which has of course delayed the process even further. Maybe you should look closer to home with your finger pointing. |

The economics profession isn't in crisis, the fact that the govt makes up it's own stats means they are no longer required unless they toe the party line on anything, including brexit.

Not yet, I'm treating brexit as guilty until proven innocent, I will happily eat my words in March if the remainers pull it out of the bag and make a great brexit deal for us.

I quoted the news I'd recently seen. I didn't write it or choose who to quote. How you interpret it is your choice.

You were the one who took the headline at face value, it has nothing to do with interpretation, one conservative MP is not the NHS.

So far we have not seen the disaster predicted by the doom and gloom remainers and many who made such predictions are now eating their words. Britain is a strong country - we don't need the EU, it's a mess anyway. Other countries will probably do the same as Britain as there seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction with the EU all round. We are just the first country brave enough to make the first move. Last edited by Brillopad; 08-01-2017 at 10:08 AM. |

Yes, but it was said that there would be an immediate effect with companies from overseas panicking and removing their business from Britain based on the knowledge that Brexit and leaving the EU was what the British people had voted for. That has not happened.

I listened to this for 5 minuets and in that time farage explains his first meeting as an MEP he states that it was his intention at that time to break up the EU, he suggests that it should be the duty of ambassadors to bend to the will of government as a soldier would.... but this was in 1999 :/
