  1. You realise that is not an argument - we left, it was a dreadful idea now we have to fix it. That is getting on with life. It's called improvement.
  2. that IS the counterargument. Brexit has put a 4 to10% load on the economy on top of the problems facing all countries around the world. It has brought about labour shortages, A devalued pound Strangled trade Increased racism and xenophobia. Forced up energy prices beyond world norm Devalued Britain's debt rating Emboldened Putin into starting a war. Reduced Britain's international standing form comparable to USA and Germany to the status of a developing nation. Installed a single issue government of politicians who are all below par and incapable not only of introducing Brexit but also of running the county. made the UK an international laughing stock Brought the NHS to it's knees Before Brexit the UK was on course to becoming the biggest economy in the EU - above both France and Germany. Now they are the only nation in the G7 threatened with recession apart from Russia. Unlike the EU we have no fuel reserves for more than a month... Germany has fuel to get through the winter into next year. Pensions in UK no longer guaranteed to stay with inflation - are already half that of France and a third that of Germany. THe British transport industry is either going broke or moving to Europe Deliveries to UK from around the worlds have increased in price as the UK has new import/customs barriers... that's just off the top of my head...
  3. yes - move on; rejoin the EU - Brexit was a massive step backwards.
  4. I have to say that I find your posts on this thread and on others extremely underwhelming. Your literal and naive interpretations of people's comments seem to belie a pitiful lack of understanding .... of just about anything being discussed.
  5. Fighting in the LobbY!!! Whips resigning using the "F" word and then "un-resigning" Home secretary gone! I have to confess to a certain frisson of schadenfreude ....... Make no mistake - this started with Brexit - they called it "project fear"!
  6. Effectively Hunt has already replaced er - they now have the home secretary resigned and Chapps from the Rishi camp is in - basically there has been a coup - everything she wanted to do has been reversed and she is being replaced with Rishi's "mainstream" cabinet. She just has the name but none of the functions. the 1922 Committee can replace her immediately if they want - but the truth is the Tories can't form a cabinet or pick a PM - but they don't have to wait, she has already been sidelined on everything she wanted to do.
  7. the problem is that the Tory party can't appoint a functioning PM - the last one told lies and this one wrecked the economy, and they can't even find a replacement now.
  8. The caps were guaranteed now that has been withdrawn - what do you think will happen and how do you think affects the point I'm making?
  9. Religion - a cultural system of behaviours, practices and ethics.- you don't need a "god". Why do you say "favourite word"?
  10. E.G - heres a quote from Mack Mickmanus from another thread. "Lets face it , if you turned Liz Truss into an atom and also turned Kwasi Kwarteng into an atom and put them both into the hadron collider and sent them in different directions , when they collide , Diane Abbot would appear as the result " https://aseannow.com/topic/1275073-ill-lead-tories-into-next-election-says-embattled-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=17674552
  11. the decisions have been unmade - do you think they will increase the amounts?
  12. It is still a religion by any definition. It also has different and varying sects and practices - but it is a religion, God or no God. a lot of the pronouncements on Buddhism here are showing the kind of ignorance from which racism stems.
  13. Precisely....do to save embarrassment they could keep her as PM but sideline her power.
  14. I believe it was the Economist that initially compared her premiership to the shelf life of a lettuce. Either way their is universal condemnation of Truss unlike anything we have seen in a lifetime. The Tories are involved in a massive and vsin damage limitation process..... but the only way out is to replace Truss.... they may even have to rethink the office of PM itself... promoting the Chancellor whilst relegating the office of PM to cha lady.
  15. Lead into the election? The last person to say that was Boris....he lasted about another day. No cap on utilities after April, and no triple lock on pensions and benefits. Truss is pushing millions on low come into poverty. Her mini budget has down permanent damage because she has forced up the rates of government borrowing so just reversing everything will cost more than it did before. What is not understandable is why she is still there. She is the most unpopular PM in history. She meets the dreaded 1922 committee tomorrow so they may tell her to go. The problem is who to replace her with and quick. Never before in UK history has a party with an 80 seat majority been unable to firm a government.. Thanks to Boris's inability to tell the truth and resign, the Britsh government has collapsed and taken Britain's credibility with it.
  16. Your literal and largely incorrect interpretation of so many posts makes me wonder if you actually understand even the basics of the topic and many of the subsequent opinions voiced. Whilst arguing against so many of the posts, you are in actual fact reinforcing the impression that racism xenophobia religious discrimination are very much alive and well in the UK and give an excellent example of how in manifests itself. I think we can safely say regarding your posts "quod eat demonstrandum"
  17. You do realise the meaning of "7.No true Scotsman – Stating that the arguer is wrong because they don’t not represent the argument e.g. You don’t live there or in Thailand)"?
