  1. I'm guessing that your degree was not in English?
  2. If he told us all how he would fix everything then Joe would steal his ideas.
  3. Certainly strange if you have a UK passport. But I see Starmer wants let EU aliens vote in GE's if they live in the UK.
  4. Don't worry! I'm still here trying to sort through the garbage. But it could be a long day!
  5. OK. Agree to disagree. Leave leaders would have made a lot of noise but that's as far as they would have got and I think Farage knows that.
  6. Appreciated. My post was essentially my opinion. Farage would not have been able to change a remain vote and I think he is intelligent enough to know that and I do believe that there would not have been any meaningful outcry from leavers for another referendum in the case that remain had won. That is because those who voted leave are also fairly democratic and would respect the result, either way.
  7. If you read what I said then you should be able to see that I did acknowledge his success. I agree with Farage about a lot of things and I'm sure he would have had plenty to say if we had lost. However, through the noise, he would know that the chance was gone. There would have been no second go at it.
  8. Well that's not what I was talking about but never mind (as ever).
  9. We haven't competed with Germany since their recovery after the war but I wonder what happened in 2020??? Oh wait a minute! It's time for Hint from The Link: Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said: “A second consecutive month of growth for UK car production gives cause for optimism, though volumes are still well below pre-pandemic levels.”
  10. UK manufacturing and fishing industries all in decline for decades, not all due to the EU but did they grow after we joined the EEC/EU? Never. Rebates were OK in the 80's but mostly given back by Blair. Vetoes and opt-outs have also been lost over the years, as I've already said. The UK joined too late to ever have significant influence. De Gaulle didn't want us in and was right for once.
  11. Motor industry? Fishing industry? Huge influence? Get help.
  12. You criticize UK education - is that why you don't know how to reference a link properly?
  13. You miss the fact that, while Farage was a leader of one of the two main Leave campaigns, it would have not made a difference. He would not have succeeded in getting a second go. Up to you.
  14. Probably because few considered it relevant because what one man (Farage) said would not alter anything. If the vote had been remain (by any margin) then it would have been accepted, without any complaint, by the vast majority of leavers. We were ready for that. Conversely, and as we have seen, there has been non-stop whining from the remainers for nearly 7 long years already!
  15. I didn't forget. But the UK fleet was cut nearly in half after the CFP took effect.
  16. Same as I think joining was the most ill thought-out, self-harming, illegal and disastrous act that any UK government has implemented in the last 52 years, after the most blatant lies were distributed by its supposed leader of the day. The UK's "power and rights" in the EU were steadily waning after Thatcher, with opt-outs and rebates already largely bartered away by Major, Blair and Cameron. In 2015, the EU was pushing for its own army, finance ministry and foreign ministry, and well on its way to achieving the dream of creating a single European super state, whereby the UK would have eventually become a mere vassal province. Should the UK rejoin, then all these ambitions and dangers would resurface. I agree that by rejoining the UK would be in an even weaker position than before. But but I also think that If your children are determined enough, then they will still be able to move and work in the EU or elsewhere.
  17. The UK fishing industry was clobbered when we joined the EEC.
  18. Treaties are agreements and EU Treaty Law is direct law in any EU member state. Laws that remain on the books and affect fishing need to go, just as all the regulations which hurt small UK businesses.
  19. And you complain about your questions not being answered? 555
