It’s a call to fantasy.

 

As I pointed out, it's not an argument.

 

If you believe it to be fantasy, od love to ser conclusive proof that things would not have been different. Remember, as far as you are concerned nothing without a link is worth talking about.

It's just as well your comments in this thread aren't being marked. Your grade average would take a massive hit.

On the contrary, we're my comments to be marked, they would be so in a balanced way. Not a biased way as you appear to be suggesting.

 

Anyway, I feel very privileged to have all 3 of you as an audience all at the same time. Shame Ridy is AWOL.

Always convincing when an anonymous party cites glowing reviews by other anonymous parties of what they've done.

But, unlike some on here, I don't need to lie, exaggerate or belittle others when making comments in an attempt to get a point across.

You really need to get acquainted with the meaning of "churlish"

We have a leader, arguably the most prominent leader, of Brexit declaring Brexit a failure.

For far different reasons than you think it is

 

Let's face it, you and Farage are different ends of the scale.

 

It's funny though that you side with Farage to try to prove a point.

A 3rd meaning from one source. And just because you are haviing difficulties with someone, that doesn't necessarily make them churlish. Particularly Ray C. who consistently applies reason and evidence to his arguments. As for your assertions, the thing is, there's plenty of good reasons why Brexit is doomed to fail. A big reason is something called gravity. It's a universal economic fact (apart from a few churlish nations like North Korea) that the 2 most important factors that determine how much trade a country will engage in with other countries are size of their respective economies and geographic distance. The latter factor is a crucial factor what economists call gravity. So all the UK's attempts to  engage in trade pacts with more distant nations, isn't going to make up for what it has lost by leaving the EU.

Oh dear. Another Wiki user.

Which, in plain English, means that Brexit has failed. Doesn't matter whose fault it was, Brexit has failed.

Don't say that I didn't warn you.

It is my understanding that UK life out of EU is ongoing. Until, unlikely, the UK rejoin EU it is ongoing.

 

Therefore, it is impossible, also grammatically incorrect, to say it has "failed". "Failing", "not going well", "could be better", maybe. However, "failed". Incorrect.

But it wasn't different. That's a fact and you can't argue facts or change history. History will, no doubt, record Brexit as a failure.

You misunderstand. You can't say " it wasn't different" as the scenario under discussion didn't happen. We will never know what might have happened had UK left in April 2019.

Listen to Nigel, it isn't failing. it has failed. Which part of Brexit do you want to discuss? The economy? international trade? Immigration? 

All not failing, failed.

I don’t side with Farage on anything.

 

He’s finally seen he can’t deny the truth of Brexit failure is now trying to seek relevance in complaining about the folly he himself played such a significant role in creating.

When it has come to an end, yes. I agree.

 

The only way Brexit can come to an end is if UK rejoin. I'll be happy to discuss failure then.

Brexit already passed its zenith.

 

I look forward to reminding Brexiteers as the UK starts its journey back to the EU.

If Nig was capable of total honesty he would have added that the Tory's failed at an impossible task. But then he was also all for the Truss tax cuts for the rich that nearly cratered the UK economy.

Then using your line of argument/ reasoning, the EU cannot be judged a success or failure as it is ongoing.

 

Why then did we leave - or even hold a referendum - if we weren't in a position to make an informed choice about whether it is a success or a failure?

You mention reasoning. You don't appear to have done any prior to posting this. 

 

You are asking the electorate to look into the future. I would have thought that would be impossible.
