The EU is the new Tower of Babel,  and we know what

God did to that.

A grand conception, too big to fail, like many empires.

Already fragmenting from within, history repeats folly

after folly.

The UK is perfectly able to manage its own decline.

Why do you wonder? Why do you speculate? 

Tell us how exchange rates have changed since 1973 - they are a matter of record.

Or in your War On Truth, is any fact anathema?

Find your own facts, on the present UK electorates poverty

compared to 1973.   The poor are not concerned with

exchange rates, but they are concerned that the pound

buys less every week.  Nice one, in the 6th richest economy.

An economy that does not give a damn about its unfortunates

There is as you say there is a war on truth, but its not mine.

 My war is against deception.

Honest.

Bank warns no-deal could see UK sink into recession

By Jill Treanor, Business reporter, BBC News

 

A no-deal Brexit could send the pound plunging and trigger a worse recession than the financial crisis, the Bank of England has warned.

 

It said the UK economy could shrink by 8% in the immediate aftermath if there was no transition period, while house prices could fall by almost a third.

 

The Bank of England also warned the pound could fall by a quarter. The Bank's analysis comes after the Treasury said the UK would be worse off under any form of Brexit.

The word 'could' renders the headlines as worthless.

Any words from the BBC and government serve their

agenda, not the electorate.

I wonder by how much the pound has devalued since

1973.

Nice to see you all snuggling together for comfort and warmth. Bless ????

Dear old Grouse, you have had such a busy day grousing,

never mind, we are all here to 'tuck you up' comfortably.

Why do you keep bringing up intelligence?

 

Your form master was correct; it's a pity that you misunderstood his point!

Why do you often, so narcissistically boast of your

education, and believe that others are incapable of

comprehending such an 'advanced' concept as brexit.

Your argument is merely a  'stakeholders beef'.

We know you are trying, but it would boring without you,

We all love you really, partly because you are so easy to

What utter tripe.

 

You really can not believe in altruism; how sad for you

 

I'm 64. Nothing really matters to me personally but I do care about my greater family and the country where I was born and still have roots. Democracy only works if there is equality in education and access to information. It clearly would not work in the U.K. Which is why we have representative parliamentary democracy. The fact that you do not understand that after all this time tends to prove my point. Who did you vote for in the last election? CON or LAB? Have they been voting Brexit or Remain. That you had s vote is your democratic right. No more, no less.

Make no mistake, being educated does not guarantee

intelligence.

My old form master told me to remember that, 'its not only

cream that floats to the top'.

Been watching listening to EU country leaders today. Very sad. What decent people.

 

We should stay close to our friends. Mad to walk away

 

I wish we had leaders like that...

Like dictators leading the UK to a dystopian 2nd class colony.

There is a world of friends to be made beyond Brussels.

There is an old saying, Good fences make good neighbours.
