  1. Why do you think people want another referendum?
  2. I’ll remind you, it was you who wanted to ignore the economic element (an aspect of BREXIT consequences that impacts everyone). But I welcome any evidence of tangible BREXIT benefits, perhaps ’Control of our borders’, then again, perhaps not.
  3. No worries, other polls are available: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2022/11/17/one-five-who-voted-brexit-now-think-it-was-wrong-d
  4. Let me know when the trend in polls reverses from its current direction.
  5. ? The mind boggles. Oh I get it, let’s ignore one of the most, if not the most, important outcomes of Brexit.
  6. A corrupt in effective Government is a significant part of the UK’s problems. Next failure, corrupt scandal, lettuce …!
  7. And since leaving the EU the Government has been handing contracts worth £Billions to people they definitely know the identifyof, often without any competitive bidding at all and frequently with few of any useful goods or services being delivered for the price paid.
  8. I’m wondering if you’ve ever actually undertaken a bid assessment.
  9. And a clear majority regard it a failure, results above.
  10. The time it takes to determine a decision was a mistake is not related to anything other than the outcome of the decision. On another bright side, Brexit supporters are ‘fading away’ faster than are Remain supporters. You should give up all hope of 50 years.
  11. This folks is what happens when you play ‘join the dots’ without any dots.
  12. For the BREXIT supporters who have a loathing of polls, here’s another to add reason to your aversion: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-poll-referendum-rejoin-eu-b2250813.html
  13. ‘Everything he touches dies’.
  14. There’s a problem. A number of prominent Republicans are mixed up in the J6 insurrection and the broader attempted coup.
  15. Starting the New Year with a crisis of faith isn’t a good look.
  16. So let’s quit with the pretense that the GOP aren’t praying for the DOJ to take Trump out of the equation. So much easier than facing the fact that this is a mess of their own making. They had two chances to convict him in impeachment and twice declined the gift in their hand.
  17. I’m not sure about that, I’ll consider sending a Dollar if he goes up against the GOP, I might even make it $2.
  18. The fact that many people hold vile views does not preclude the expression of those views from being disrespectful.
  19. Can you explain what information within the poll, it’s questions and the responses to its questions provides you with a valid basis to claim (and I quote) ’confirms my suspicions that the huge majority of posters who think that Brexit is a failure have never even been to the UK , or at best, just go there for a minimal amount of time for a short holiday to keep their pension payments at UK levels and not the Thai living rates .’ I look forward to your response.
  20. I suspect the results of this poll aren’t going the way the person who requested it hoped.
  21. I very much look forward to it. Though I suspect the Government that arrives at the next election will make urgent moves to remove the barriers this current band of idiots have placed in between British businesses and the world’s largest integrated market located a few short miles away.
  22. Having been an executor to a friend’s Thai and UK wills I strongly recommend your friend engages a UK based lawyer to draught and record a UK will covering his UK assets. I also recommend he appoint two executors, one lead and another standby, these should preferably be people based in the UK. Endure his wife has a a copy of the will, and contact details are shared between his wife and executors. Of no trusted executors are available ask the UK lawyer to appoint one, but this will cost - check prices. Also pay upfront for the will, not a fee based on value at time of execution. Fees for appointed executors may or not be based on value of assets at time of execution, but they will be pricy. On the upside an appointed executor will be very much more certain to be around come the time than friends who might move on. Acting as executor was for me a very fulfilling experience, I had the chance to ensure the wife and child of a dear friend received their rightful inheritance, and importantly ensure they kept it. It did however open a windows into some really disgraceful aspects of people’s motivations. I’m glad I helped my friend out, but I’d think very carefully before diving into that hornet’s nest again. If in any doubt I recommend your friend pays the fees.
  23. The most important and that which will cause the most damage to the UK economy, businesses and the lives of ordinary people in the UK is the ‘Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform Bill)’. In a repeat of earlier BREXIT outcomes the REUL bill transfers more of Parliament’s powers to the executive and removes Parliamentary scrutiny of Executive actions while at the same time stripping rights and protections from citizens of UK. A power grab that is getting far too little exposure in the news and public discourse. https://justice.org.uk/retained-eu-law-revocation-and-reform-bill/
