It's wrong to stereotype - but all you need to do is read a few of the responses on this thread and it is quite clear that many Brexiteers are just dim. This has been shown here have been a number of studies that have shown a correlation between education level and voting behavior in the Brexit referendum. In general, these studies have found that people with lower levels of education were more likely to vote to leave the EU, while people with higher levels of education were more likely to vote to remain. One study, conducted by researchers at the University of Leicester, found that a 3% increase in the number of people with university degrees in the UK would have been enough to swing the referendum result in favor of remaining in the EU. The study also found that the level of education was the most important factor in determining how people voted, even more important than age, gender, or income. Another study, conducted by researchers at the London School of Economics, found that people who had received no formal qualifications were more likely to vote to leave the EU than people with university degrees. The study also found that people who had received vocational qualifications were more likely to vote to leave than people with academic qualifications. These studies suggest that there is a clear link between education level and voting behavior in the Brexit referendum. However, it is important to note that correlation does not equal causation. It is possible that other factors, such as age, income, or social class, may also be playing a role. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between education and voting behavior in the Brexit referendum. Here are some of the studies that have been conducted on this topic: "Would a more educated population have rejected Brexit?" by Theresa Kuhn, Herman van de Werfhorst, and Sander Kunst (2019) "Education and Euroscepticism in Western Europe" by Sara Hobolt (2016) "The Education Gap in Euroscepticism: Evidence from the United Kingdom" by Sander Kunst (2018) "The Relationship Between Education and Voting Behavior in the Brexit Referendum" by researchers at the University of Leicester (2017) "Education and Voting Behavior in the UK EU Referendum" by researchers at the London School of Economics (2017)

me too - and now as you point out they have to have paperwork.

time and again Brexiteers roll out that cliche - ALL countries in Europe had similar problems only the UK had Brexit which hs exacerbated the problems by 4 to 10%. It is typical though that Brexiteers can't see further than the border of the country.

Hardly! People have been pointing that out for years. As I just said it happens on all the islands around Thailand that have tourists. Samui about 5 years ago had a huge garbage scandals that even gave the local governor the nickname of "rubbish" . Whereas the Thai authorities are slow in reacting retroactively the problems arise from untrammelled development that has been the norm all over Thailand - basically for the last 40 years or so, the country has =been pooping in its own nest and failing to heed the advice of those who could see what damage was being done - but it is nothing new.

You have absolutely no idea. "it was quite easy" - that's half the point - those already here had an opportunity to sign up to j=keep their job - that's not how it works - you want to be a fluid part of the work force and not worry about immigration status etc every time you move. what if you lose your job? Have a family to look after? - Foreign people are just not welcome in the UK anymore I worked in UK and Europe at the same time - it is now impossible for my job to exist. THe paperwork is a MASSIVE barrier to freedom of movement - that's why we have lost such a huge chunk from out work force. If you want to work in a country your really don't need all the paperowork - just look at THailand how insecure working here can be and how full of red tape.

There is no way your suggestions account for hundreds of thousands missing for the workforce - where did they "improve their education and skill sets" - the online courses did in no way increase the number of people studying - it went right down! When people lose a job they get another one - but because they went home to EU they can't or don't want to come back THe lying UK PM and his government tied to claim that many people decided "to stop working" which is just a fairy-tale.

I've seen this cliche rolled out before - the fact was tat the EU was a SINGLE market with FREEDOM of movement and the people we have lost used to be able to work wherever they like in the EU and chose UK, because in fact the salaries were comparable with elsewhere. Do you remember "Auf wiedersehen pet"? -that was before the benefits of EU but when people could move around to make money. UK has opted out of freedom of movement and gone back to a situation where people can earn more by working abroad but now they can't - they are imprisoned in a low wage economy.

not the conclusion I would have come to. It isn't the salary and conditions, it's the fact they can no longer live and work in the UK without copious documentation etc after freedom of movement was e=nded. Of course it applies to UK workers who want to move abroad too

The problem with the pipeline is it doesn't seem fully operational - and at the end of the day there still has to be water to put into it.... as the water comes from Nakhon St THammarat and Suratthani, both have drought/water shortage problems of their own

Thanks!

We've lost tens of thousands of doctors and nurses from the NHS alone. - and of course truck drivers, carers lots of labourers, the tourist and catering industries.... to name but a few.UK is in th unusual situation of having job vacancies with no=one to fill them and a shrinking economy.

Not all Brexiteers are racists, but all racists are Brexiteers.

Reservoirs on Samui are totally insufficient these days and there is no suitable site for more. The main supply is the pipe from the mainland and also may did into the water table. Most islands in Thailand have the same problems directly as a result of untrammelled development

Almost unintelligable response.. on par for Brexitism. But also completely tangential to the point I was making. QED.

They don't...the argument against Brexit is that ON TOP OF all those problems, UK has a 4 % to 10 % deficit brought about by Brexit. It has left UK less able to deal with international issues, political, social and economic, we are now the sick man of Europe again ....just like before we joined Europe.

What does that even mean? Basically it is a cliche used by those with no argument. A sort of hint that the person believes in conspiracy theories? Does in anyway invalidate an argument? Of course not!

If she lives the family may ask for more than the insurance will pay

I would be concerned about pollution from the petrochemical plants, oils importing harbours and the surrounding industrial estates.

Basically if you drive your car through the wall of a house and run over granny watching TV, they pay for Granny but you pay for the TV and the house.

Countries all over the world are facing very basic problems at present, /CoL, Energy, inflation but only the UK has to deal with the problems caused by Brexit on top of all that.

well you'd know wouldn't you?

Interesting that you assume without any evidence I'm drunk - one has to conclude that you are judging people by your own habits. You can't conceive otherwise. I'll say hello next time I step over you to get into a 7/11

Who is?

THe paucity of that conclusion and its inaccuracy says more about you and the OP than anything i could say. Some people not only can't imagine life without alcohol they think others can't as well - how blinkered can you get??

It's not your language, it's you ability ti reason and think critically that would be the same in any language. You clearly have you alcohol consumption mapped out - and see to think where your drink makes it "different"?
