Knowing how stellar you guys are with numbers:

 

0.48 and 0.52 can both be correctly expressed as 0.5.

I don't know about "eating out of their hand. " but I agree with you on principle. Many are here not because they enjoy debating, but because they want their opinion reaffirmed.

Rarely to you hear the response "fair enough" 

 

more than 2600 replies  and no consensus on one single issue.. 

Maybe a 52-48 split do ya think

Do you need some new reading glasses? I said IF it would have avoided 50M deaths AND if Hitler's EU had similar rules to our own. When you get some new speculators, read a bit of European history.

We dont need to read anything about European history because we were there making it

Oh! thee of little faith!

 

mathematics is important for all of us.

 

If Brexit had been 60% or above, I would have reluctantly accepted the majority view and walked off into the sunset. Shane! Shane! ? 

Just pretend it was 90% then you would have been gone last week

Not something of existential dimensions, 

The UK is also a Union and what's good for the goose is good for the gander . since some members of the the UK have voted overwhelmingly for "Stay" if brexit proceeds without a clear consensus  there is a high possibility for them to secede from the UK and remain or rejoin the EU, 

We will cross that bridge when we come to it as we always have done with whatever comes along

Good luck with your own set of problems matey

we all cross our bridges when they come and are just as capable doing so as they come along, that does not preclude as from planning the best possible trip and choosing our bridges carefully.

And choosing our bridges carefully includes not following a stranger with a bag of sweeties to an unknown place.

Yeah, I feel for our American friends. A corrupt, narcissist spiv versus the most evil corporate globalists on planet Earth. What a choice! We're in luxury by comparison.

Why hasn't the UK triggered article 127 yet ? last day today otherwise it's a very soft Brexit but then the government knows that already. Makes getting back in again in 10 years time so much easier.

To all victorious Brexiteers..why not just ignore the rants from the remoaning losers.

Funny? Not for Greek pensioners. While the super German pensions were being championed as an EU influenced plus point, nothing was said of the opposite effect of the austere Greek poverty line payments. The rules were broken on both sides when Greece went in but maybe you have conveniently forgotten that?

 

The biggest cheat in Europe is the EU itself. 

The only failing on the part of the EU was not kicking them out when the fraud came to light. Greek spending was irresponsible and now everyone wants to blame those picking up the pieces. Among other things they  were paying themselves pensions at a much earlier age than the UK and spending a larger percentage of GDP on pensions than any other country in the EU, but to some that was all the fault of the EU.

Greece has only got itself to blame, bit like the person that maxed out a credit card and complains about the repayments.

Did you hear the Japanese ambassador on Radio 4? ?

 

Mind you the average Brexiter is most interested in jobs at a garden centre or Wimpey. 

Quite, any other government would have stopped it as not being in the nation interest, and this is the government that some have put their faith in to act in the national interest. We can only hope they wake up and smell the coffee.

Brexit was a potential threat to Airbus business but the shareholders going against a specific warning from Airbus makes it very real.

It’s only a fact if the UK actually leave, if the U.K. actually frees itself from the EU treaties and even then if your assertions regarding the character of the EU are correct.

 

There’s a reason why Brexiteers are becoming ever more concerned, it has a great deal with all the UK’s ‘Red Lines’ having mysteriously turned ‘Green’.

 

You proclaiming ‘facts’ which are nothing more than wishful thinking mixed with misrepresentations of reality might comfort you but they don’t disguise the truth.

 

The truth is the U.K. Brexit team are bending over backwards to not deliver any meaningful Brexit.

Well said, it is incredibe how people blame the EU for some countries mismanaging their funds, taking out loans and spending them on things that do not make a return and then needing bailing out repeatedly, costing the EU taxpayer every time, somehow it is the EU's fault for footing their bills, for trying to help them despite their corruption, for paying the interest on their loans, which have very low interest anyway, and always it is the Germans who are criticised for being able to pay their own bills as well as being able to make the biggest contribution toward the Greeks bills.  Pure ignorance.

Don't trust Greeks bearing statistics.
