JonnyF Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 15 hours ago, Rookiescot said: But thats not what I said was it? You have taken two points I made from two separate arguments and welded them together. You said there had been no job loses because of Brexit. I posted a link to a site written by a guy who knows far more about this than you do and you dismissed it. But it shows you were wrong. Again. The point about free money was in a response to your baseless claims the EU will collapse without the UK's contribution. I said they will still get money from the UK because of the tariffs which to the EU is free money. Its not free for the citizens of the EU who will have to pay them. But then again I also pointed out the EU citizens will most likely be able to source tariff free stuff from elsewhere in the EU. Its only going to be stuff that is unique to the UK which they will have to buy. Like Scotch Whisky. Wrong again. Brexiteers. The only people who look at a house fire and think great. My heating bill is going to be cheaper this month. Laughable logic. So if you went to the bookmakers and placed 5 bets of 10 pounds and won 4 bets and lost 1 bet, and I asked you how much you won today, you'd say you lost 10 pounds????? You would conclude that you had less money than you started with? You had lost money? That would be your summary of the day's betting? You would only include the losses and not the wins? Because that is what your website link is doing. The net result (counting both sides of the equation) is a reduction in unemployment. It has reduced by 1.1%. But you only want to look at the losses because you think it proves your point about 800,000 job losses. But it doesn't, it makes you look numerically illiterate and the fact you are even trying to argue using this logic both astounds and confounds me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you cannot follow logic neither confounds nor astounds me. You are in complete denial about the damage being done to the UK because of Brexit. Only three months to go. Then maybe the logic will be clearer for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've moved on from denial to whataboutism. We're making progress. As for the red bus, if I said "Let's go the beach", would you take that as a definitive promise that I was going to take you to the beach? Because to me it sounds like a suggestion.

Its still there for a great many issues. Including I might add, ratifying any trade deal with the UK. And given how the UK has behaved during the course of Brexit I can see a few countries simply refusing to sign it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That link proves that as of the end of January over 400 000 jobs had been lost because of Brexit and we have not left yet. Your conspired examples do not negate that simple fact.

When the government gets us out of the transition period without capitulating to all Barnier's demands it will be a good job. You are reasonable here : not capitulating to all Barnier's demand. I suppose the E.U. will consider Mr. Barnier's job as well done, if he not capitulate to all demands of Mr. Frost. The purpose of negotiations.
