I am, not highly, but well educated, like to think I am well informed, have also lived all over the world, am also comfortably off and can, at a push, manage 3 and a half languages. ( what all of that has to do with whether you voted to remain or not I really don't know) As I keep reading your posts I am steadily coming to the conclusion that you are sounding more and more like the sad chaps I mentioned in my first paragraph.............. As you have been informed many times the vote has been taken and democracy demands that the UK exits from the EU, no matter what you or any other remoaners say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Get over it and move on....... It'll never happen! The wise are stepping in. A formula will be found to keep the numpties happing while remaining in the EEA least What languages? What is your profession? What did you study? Voting leave is corrolated with low educational attainment. Maybe you are an outlier? Explain! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of the corrupt HR laws would be a good start The European Convention on Human Rights and the laws adopted in the UK as a consequence of the UK being a founding signatory in 1950 have nothing to do with whether or not the UK is a member of the EU. There are currently 47 party states to the ECHR, including all 28 EU members (27 after Brexit, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse has been toppled by several other brands some time ago, the latest dram to hit the discerning whisky drinker is monkeys shoulder and is indeed a nice drop.

Wonderboy Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Exactly.... But apparently its an insurmountable problem for some posters . A bit odd as extended holidays around Europe and the rest of the world has never been a problem. Presumably a few posters think the EU will impose repressive restrictions on those from the UK wishing to holiday/travel within the EU?Illustrates pretty well the simplified understanding on this issue of many (not all) Brexiters. Looks like many think having to show your passport when travelling is the main consequence [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "fruit pickers" is aimed at Brexiters generally. The people who have difficulty finding work and don't like competion for low wage jobs. Anyway, it's never going to happen.

Actually, barbs not withstanding, it's a fair comment. How should one determine nationality? What does it take to have Yorkshire nationality? I was born in Yorkshire! I went to school in Yorkshire! I drink Tetleys! I'm bluunt! I have short arms and deep pockets! However, my father was a highland Scot. Loch Tummel and Loch Rannoch? You get the picture! My grandson has three passports! Cheeky bugger! He was born in the USA, his mum is Thai and his father (my son) was born in York! What is he? (Apart from lucky!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
