  1. Fishing was not the main benefit of leaving. The EU has retained significant control of it anyway and it will be years before that ends. Free movement has allowed significant migrant travel through continental Europe. For those determined to enter the UK, the Schengen Zone made this far easier than before for them to get as close as the Channel (beaches and ports) after 2015, which is when mass movement began. The end of FoM should have been one of the main benefits of leaving but it has been seemingly willfully mishandled by the post Brexit Conservatives and now by this hopeless Labour mob. This migration is causing several problems in the UK and larger EU. It is now interesting to see that several EU states have now acknowledged this by applying border controls - temporary - I wonder? https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/schengen-area/temporary-reintroduction-border-control_en Influence of the EU courts over the UK was the biggest reason for the leave vote - i.e. loss of UK sovereignty.
  2. Well you said "as a result of Brexit" but with no mention of Covid at all.
  3. So the Big Guy got the biggest slice of the pie - looks like more than 10% too!
  4. Inflation, largely due to Covid, ignored yet again. The 20% drop you mention is the same as cumulative UK inflation over 5 years,
  5. Given the lack of specifics within this "manifesto" that is a tough ask.
  6. They were in the pile of mangos.
  7. Your post, Your problem. Own it.
  8. But the difference (and drop) in the total the Dem POTUS candidate vote is exceptional. All from wiki: Biden 2020 81,283,501 Harris 2024 75,015,834
  9. OK use wiki then, most sources seem to have different totals. But for 2024 even wiki on has a total vote of 152m (as popular vote for Trump then Harris 77,269,255 +74,983,555). But also from wiki (for 2020) total is 155+. Popular vote 81,283,501[1] 74,223,975[1] Percentage 51.3% 46.8%
  10. Flawed> Easy for you to say. But not me. The number I gave is conservative. The quoted example shows a difference of 12 million: On Tuesday, November 5th, Americans went to the polls in large numbers. Some 143 million citizens cast ballots; 83 million of these during early voting. This compares to 155 million in 2020, which set a turnout record. (see below): https://osce.usmission.gov/on-the-results-of-the-general-elections-held-in-the-united-states-of-america-on-5-november-2024/
  11. And? My feeling was always that it was fixed. And, before you ask, of course I can't prove it. And... how do you figure those bonus 10m+ extra total votes tallied in 2020 went AWOL again in 2024?
  12. Slow down Tonto. This wasn't for person of the year either. Rather the opposite,
  13. Not a surprise really - after all, everyone was talking about him for the whole year and more - whatever topic started any conversation.
  14. You're right. Most of the money enabled vastly increased mail-in balloting in 2020. Oh, wait a sec! https://apnews.com/article/technology-elections-denver-mark-zuckerberg-election-2020-92257bbc1fefd9ed0e18861e5b5913f6
  15. The not looking after the aged and infirm very well party.
  16. Well the crazy low interest rates helped to keep inflation down for years, but in the background the debt in all classes kept rising relentlessly and I think it is debt that has to burst the big bubble eventually. But that can keeps rolling down the road.
  17. The so-called rescue, at least since 2008, has been enabled by endless money printing.
  18. Good to see a happy story for a change. Thanks.
  19. Idiotic ignorance of Covid cost and effect yet again.
  20. Biden Boom?? US 90%?? Full of it as ever. US Debt-to-GDP is 123% in 2024. https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/government-debt--of-nominal-gdp
  21. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 118 seconds
