It has already been stated that the AI solution is not a viable option.

 

You can put your head in the sand or inside your computer as much as you like but the question of origin is not going to go away. If you choose to remove the common origin then you must accept responsibility for proving origin, something that seems difficult for those that have chosen to leave to comprehend.

 

Not only will the old hurdles to exporting reappear but new ones are being introduced.

 

The EC has advised manufacturers they should examine the “legal repercussions” and either get their future CE certification through an EU member state or transfer existing files to an EU-notified body, which could take between two and six months.

With the ICO being excluded from participating in GDPR’s one-stop shop mechanism, it also means UK businesses will have to choose an alternative data protection agency within the EU to act as their lead regulator after Brexit — putting yet another burden on startups as they will need to build new relationships with a regulator in the EU.

Well the last I heard the UK is importing and exporting with the whole world. All parties do their stuff to deal with it..Well don't they...?

  • maybe there is a housing shortage due to the impossibility of planning for an economy that allows hundreds of thousands of immigrants in every year?  Dunno, that;s probably racist.

    Ridiculous article. From the Guardian, so any semblance of reality is fleeting at best. So none of these problems existed before the Brexit vote? I doubt it. Anti Brexit people are like anti Trumpers

Do I really ? I always believed that an MP's task was to carry out the wishes of their Constituents.

Bracknell votes LEAVE

Votes for Remain were: 29,888

No doubt, being the highly intelligent individual that you are will tell me I have had it wrong all these years.

 

I would suggest instead of spurious pontification, you actually try a bit of self education.

Spacious arguments ??

 

I think the word you were looking for was spurious.

 

Easy mistake to make for a non native English speaker, or those that have a low level of education, but claim to be highly intelligent remainers.

 

This thread really hits home the major failings of the Demographic models that appeared straight after the Brexit Referendum.

Do stop the spelling police stuff. It's boring and frequently results from auto-complete.

 

I find many of your arguements specious.

No insult attempted or implied. I was merely trying to assist you in getting to grips with the English Language.

 

Spacious - Spurious, easy mistake to make.

 

I do not need to play the man. You are more than capable of doing that to yourself.

French populist government surges to the right ????

 

The populist French government of President Macron and his En Marche party are accused of surging to the right, something that is now happening throughout the EU

 

Quote from the Times

 

**** President Macron has betrayed his pledge to occupy the centre ground of French politics by adopting right-wing Anglo-Saxon-style policies, according to three of his prominent backers.

 

Jean Pisani-Ferry, Philippe Aghion and Philippe Martin, the economists who helped to write his campaign manifesto, claim that he has abandoned his promise to implement inclusive Scandinavian-style measures and is instead drawing inspiration from countries such as the UK and America.

 

Their criticism of the French leader, in a document leaked to the French press, underlines mounting discontent among Mr Macron’s left-leaning supporters about his political positions ****

 

This should come as no surprise to anyone, Macron was elected on the basis of being all things to all men (and women) That's not a pretence that one can keep up for very long, and he's been well and truly rumbled. He will now retreat to a small bistro, while his country remains in chaos. Invaded by north Africa, held to ransom by the unions and farmers, and told what to do by the Germans. Oh, la la, vive la belle EU

No.

 

En Marche was always the anti populist, popular party

 

Criticised by right and left equally, Macron's centrist credentials are intact.

Do try and show some courtesy to your interlocutors. I don't think you listened to the debates yesterday otherwise you would know that several options were discussed.

This is truly arrogant even by your standards; you think you have the right to tell others how to construct their comments, really ?

 

You are continually rude, unpleasant and insulting to others, usually in an extremely sly and devious manner; you bait people to try and provoke a response that you can then threaten to report to the moderators, or actually carry out the threat.

 

You need to take a long hard look at your own behaviour on this forum before you start criticising others, old chap

Not one word on a second referendum.

 

I quote

 

How sad that you do not know the difference between a Referendum and a Parliamentary vote. But hey, that is the so called highly educated remainers for you.

 

Did you even think to read his resignation letter that I referenced?  

 

He said, "When the Government is able to set out an achievable, clearly defined path – one that has been properly considered, whose implications have been foreseen, and that is rooted in reality and evidence, not dreams and dogma – it should go to the people, once again, to seek their confirmation,"

 

You are rapidly turning into a bad joke, engage your brain and try to engage with the comments you are replying to.

Unfortunately, there's every reason to be disrespectful towards our representative democracy when MPs act in direct contradiction to their constituents (whom they are supposed to represent) wishes....

There are some people on this thread that might wish they had a father like this, as they take refuge in their safe space.

Why? Many Brexiters can not put their trousers on the right way round without help. Why should parliament act in their favour? 

PLEASE, PLEASE give up on the faux indignation at other posters' lack of courtesy towards those with a different opinion....

 

Tiresome and annoying are very weak adjectives to describe the disgust felt by brexiteers at your hypocrisy.

Transam, I hate to break this to you, but Thailand’s immigration laws and policies have absolutely no bearing on those of the UK.

 

Do endeavour to grasp that reality and you’ll be able avoid making spacious arguments based on your current misunderstanding.

How is that one panning out for you?  Still feeling higher educated than the remainer you attempted to disparage?  I am not sure how many times I have to do this to you before you realise that you haven't a clue but I don't mind, I have the time and I will continue to throw back every insult you dish out straight back in your face.  In case you still don't understand, allowing the people to decide does not mean a parliamentary vote, it means a referendum.

Are you seriously trying to use this definition, which states nonimmigrants are those who travel to a country temporarily for travel, work or study, as evidence that those who have chosen to live in Thailand long term on non immigrant visas are not immigrants?  Hilarious, just how far do you want to take this bad joke?

I have never said that, and who would take notice of someone who can't even understand that basic English in the quote that they reference?  I am sure you are quite embarrassed by all your blunders, but no need to take it out on others, suffer alone, it is your doing.

Highly unlikely ??

 

When Attack, Attack, Attack is the daily mantra, it becomes the norm and somehow morphs into acceptable behaviour.

 

  • Popular Post

This thread is likely to be closed if we continue bickering (multiple posts bickering back and forth) this way.

 

IMO, some would like this to happen - which is why it's important to give up on extended bickering!

 

And yes, I'm aware that I've been equally guilty every now and again.

To be honest Ren, I don't see many personal attacks on TVForum. We are just chatting through our avatars and having a bit of fun. Sometimes learning sometimes about the subject in hand and human nature.

 

Long may it continue.

 

Brightens up my day anyway.

 

Carry on the good work; I say!
