Why are you peddling that myth again after it was debunked on at least two previous attempts?

Because I can back my statement up with facts:

Enjoy that.

And because the working class has already been screwed “for many years” (assuming that’s true), you screw them even more? Geniuses.

Yes, I agree.

 

It may be the last, desperate chance of MPs desperately hoping that sentiment has changed to swing a remain vote.....

 

I suspect this is not the case - but obviously could be wrong.

Good point - I've been suffering endless problems from my laptop, and it obviously needs to be replaced :sad:.

right,

yes of course, if parliament for some reason should ditch the government,

or the government should opt to throw in the towel it will come earlier

 

just wondering,

assuming Brexit one way or the other happens end of March,

a solid portion of the UK plebs is bound to be fairly unhappy

 

The GE will be 3 years (+) later

Will this Brexit mess have any significant impact on the voting at all?

Voters, in general, have a very short memory.

 

just wondering

Nope, nothing there that leads to another link.

Well we all now that TM can call a GE on impulse or poor advice and that these impulses or advisors are not very helpful. There are so many other variables now that might trigger another GE at any time.

 

As far as your "plebs" go, well I suppose that such a group will exist in people's minds, whether you are for or against Brexit. I'm sure that Brexit will have an effect on voting in the next GE - whatever happens it will not be soon forgotten - as there is a great division of the people (as you can see from all these TV topics). Brexit has brought about an expanded level of political awareness and interest in the UK that has probably never existed before, which concerns both UK and the EU.

An obviously biased link, so I take it in the same way as I do obviously biased opinions in the opposite direction.

Well it is a pro leave site, Dick. But I think the comment is actually, broadly, fair and true.

Yes, but quoting such obviously biased sites doesn't really help.

 

Having said this, nobody is going to change their mind at this point - so we're all just posting to vent our opinion?

Similar to many similar old "news" stories. Interesting to see that the "recession" word is not used once in this article, so why claim this "mother of all recessions". Hard to credit the quoted percentages of British businesses considering relocating (29%), when less than 10% of UK businesses actually trade with the EU.  

 

Must try harder. 1000 lines.

As chomper has given this his customary stamp it's worth noting that the 'Facts' he has thrice presented were debunked by the disclosure of official data from the Met who were policing the events and by video evidence uploaded in real time by people in the much-bigger-than-he-says crowd(s) ????

What “official data” is that? Could

You must try harder.

 

Your are right. 90% of UK Business company's  are not trade with the EU because they are SMEs.

SME are Micro, small and medium sized.
In the UK 89,3 % from all enterprises are micro sized. These are, for example, all hairdressers, small craftsmen, tax consultants and all small self-employed. And 8.8% are small enterprises.
These company size classes are not at all affected by EU regulations.

The situation is different for the medium (1,5%) and large (0,4%) size classes.

Inform your self how many people are employed in the respective company size classes.

Then you would better understand the scope of Brexit with regard to the number of employees affected.

 

Only one medium or large company can mean thousands of jobs.


Your argument is wrong if you do not take into account how many employees the company has.

 

You compare a 1 man company with a big company like Nissan.

 

And if you would know what a 

company directors is, then you would know which company size categories were surveyed.

 

 

"Nearly a third of UK firms may shift their operations abroad over Britain's looming departure from the European Union, a survey of 1200 company directors suggested today"

I wasn't replying to you but if you care to read the linked article properly it does also mention small businesses but certainly does not mention the "mother of all recessions". The only thing I'm comparing is the claims in the post to what is said in the link attached to it. That is all.

 

All UK businesses are affected by EU regulations - this is part of the problem.

 Cognitive bias, wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, of course, we all know that is not you..just saying.

 

Cognitive dissonance I think is more likely.

 

You can joke but the dumbing down of the masses is a genuine worry. People have so many sources of information at their finger tips but actually know far less than was typically the case before the ascent of digital media.

 

Discuss.

Couldn't agree more.

 

Superior education or intelligence indicate pretty much nothing when it comes to issues like this - as they are bound by their own 'spheres'.

 

The result of leaving the eu is largely unknown, but we can be fairly sure that ignoring the referendum result is not going to go down well with those in leave constituencies.

We don't care. It's a moronic idea.
