Oh dear. Another poster questioning my honesty.

No. But the author suggesting inaccuracies does. And, please don't suggest I'm a liar.

Quite possibly true. I don't believe I suggested otherwise. The Trussel Trust has around 1400 food banks on UK. There are around 1100 independent ones.

Excellent news. So, you are attempting to debunk personal experiences by countering with already debunked, so called varifiable data. That would be sad if it were not so funny.

I believe some do. Those run by Trussell Trust being an example. However, numerous places run by churches or local organizations generally are walk in.

Millions. To verify "millions" you need to check on "millions" I know of instances where people have used food banks but didn't need to. Abusing the system. I doubt food banks require those that go there to prove they are in need. The link you posted as varifiable data has flaws. Even the author admitted as such. Hence my aversion.

@Chomper Higgot Did you miss this bit? " The mean measure of income divides the total income of individuals by the number of individuals. A limitation of using the mean is that it can be influenced by just a few individuals with very high incomes and therefore does not necessarily reflect the standard of living of the "typical" person."

Right on cue. Thanks. Did those figures result in a survey of everyone's income, including untaxed income and undeclared income? Was every household in UK polled? You say there are millions unable to feed themselves. I'd love to see a link to a survey that polled over a million households.

Personal experiences often differ. You said "there is a growing realisation among the electorate that it was sold a pup by the 'Vote Leave' campaign." Not sure where you get your ideas from but I would guess it was the result of a poll. Of course, data gained by polls can differ. This is the issue. I could run a poll amongst leave voters that I know. I believe the result would be close to 100% " No. I wasn't sold a pup". This leads me to those posters who constantly refuse to accept personal experiences because they are so called "unsubstantiated". Where does the so called verifiable data come from? When we see things like "%%% of leave voters regret their decision" or "%%% of patients wait more than 5 weeks to see the Doctor" or " <>in 5 families say they regularly miss meals" ? POLLS. Simple. Polls from people's personal experiences. Usually citing average figures from asking a few thousand people. Not particularly verifiable. I could walk out of my home right now to make a poll. Using the question " are you struggling financially?" I would first head West. Having walked half a mile I would start my poll. I would get a resounding "NO". Heading East for half a mile the "Yes" responses would start to creep in. As polls are usually carried out for political effect, those carrying out the polls will often use demographics that they know will give them the results they desire. Varifiable data? Not exactly. As can be seen on this forum. Posters talking about packed out supermarkets and high streets. Pubs full if prople having fun, queues of holidaymakers at airports, priority booking Beyonce tickets selling out in the first few hours (at prices that could feed a family of 4 for a week). These sort of personal experiences don't sell newspapers or get clicks on websites and, therefore, are generally not published or polled.

Buriram. Considered by many as "the boonies".

On both sides. Those wishing to rejoin are assuming the EU will still be flourishing in the future.

Exactly right. The EU is a pedestal for EU politicians. It's there to help them feel important All the more reason not to be part of it.

Incorrect.

I don't believe there will be an application to rejoin. If there were an application, i dont believe the UK would be back in during the 2030s. The EU will make it painfully slow and expensive for UK to re join.

The source is on your post. A link to Wikipedia. No need to click.

Thanks for confirmation. Snobbism? Just I believe Wiki is not cast in stone? Funny.

If the authors are respectable, why not quote directly from their source rather than Wikipedia? A website that anyone can edit at anytime. Anyway, do you have the facts I asked for?

Well done. Although quoting Wikipedia is laughable. However, I requested facts to prove the comment " there are no economic benefits to Brexit"

You are correct. Done to death, by opinions. I'm failing to see any facts. As with the other threads.

That's a bold statement. Would you care to elaborate? Facts to back up your statement might be a good idea

I have never had any issues getting photos to the required specifications.

I believe I spoke about waiting times too. You quoted me, I responded. No obsession.

That would be a personal opinion, I guess. An opinion that differs to my experiences.

Really? So the OPs post about waiting times at the hospital he will use should be ignored? Your links generally show "averages". It stands to reason personal experiences will differ and sharing them is beneficial.

If that is the only link you can find. It would help, wouldn't it? If no such universe exists, you'll just have to accept we will never know the true effects of the first few years of Brexit, and stop banging on about it.
