From Brexit to Rejoin - The Inflection Point.
RayC replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
And by the same token, a handful of individuals (allegedly) acting illegally does not make an organisation corrupt. Likewise, the idea that there should be greater integration in certain areas does not make one a federalist. Why is necessarily bad for an organisation to be technocratic? -

So you'd trust an unqualified quack with your health and an unsuccessful gambler with your wealth? -

I see that you are still peddling that old chestnut about "them needing us more than we need them". Not according to the OBR, FT, LSE, The Economist. But hey, never believe the experts. -

An all-out trade war with the EU? I doubt that Sunak is that stupid but, if he is, I wonder how long - and much it will cost - before the markets force him to U-turn? -
One is underwhelmed.

Rab C. Nesbitt once saw a pink elephant in a doctor's surgery of all places. It was on the telly, so it must be true! Just thought that I'd mention it.

Turkey earthquake: What are UK charities doing to help?
RayC replied to Social Media's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Charity 1. An organization set up to provide help and raise money for those in need. 2. The voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need. Nothing in those definitions about charity being based around race or religion. -
Are you sure that's what Genesis 1.27 says?????????

Not for the first time I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

Between 1997 - 2016, the UK supported 97% of the legislation originating from Brussels, so hardly "... telling us what to do ...". (Link posted numerous times in the past. You'll find it on the fullfacts site somewhere)

Oh dear. Reduced to insults. Still probably to be expected of someone unable to formulate a coherent argument.

It appears that the Institute of Directors (IoD) have a more nuanced and objective take on things. https://www.iod.com/news/global-business/flying-the-flag-for-global-britain-how-valuable-is-cptpp-for-the-uk-really/ Who's opinion could be considered more relevant? Daily Express or the IoD? Tricky one that!

I look forward to your rebuttal of statistical theory. (Please show your workings).

Thought that one of your strong beliefs was that no one can predict the future?

Why should I get over it when I had no say in a matter that directly affected me (I was living in Belgium at the time), while some others - who were thousands of miles away and had no intention of returning to live in the UK - did? Bitter? Too bloody right I am. What's all these ways in which the UK is currently thriving?
-
So everyone voting Leave didn't believe the official 'Vote Leave' campaign when they said "UK trade will thrive after we leave the EU"? No mention of any negative effects. http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/our_case.html #Soldapup

Have to agree with you both. Difficult to see past him as a paedo, but he was a brilliant performer. Saw him in a Xmas concert (probably that '82 comeback tour). One of the best concerts that I've been to.

I wouldn't (have) let my young kids anywhere near him. In fact, I'd warn my adult kids to steer well clear of this *"':;

This seems to suggest that you prefer quantifiable data to intention. That's fair enough. Therefore, I'm sure that you will agree that Brexit has negatively affected the UK economy, given that the overwhelming majority of available data supports this hypothesis?
-
So some polls have called things wrong in the past therefore all polls will be incorrect. Interesting logic.
-
If what you say is correct then governments and businesses the world over are wasting their money conducting market research. Apologies for being blunt but it appears that you have no understanding of sampling theory, survey design or statistics in general.
-
Once again, I don't understand your point. If by majority, you mean a majority of the electorate then no, that would not have been the sample size. However, assuming that a survey is well-designed, a relatively small sample will allow conclusions be made about the larger population.
