The petition about the migration treaty required all your details too. It's so they know you are actually a person, not so the stasi can pay you a visit.  ;D

Yer but... All the other petitions at least show how many signatories they have before you input your details.  This one you can't see how many people have signed it...  :-\

This is boring.  Views with some people are too entrenched, on all sides, to the point of arrogance.  Its not a debate any more, its people acting like politicians, and name calling those who's views they disagree with, and not adding anything meaningful.

Due to the nature of this thread, I have to read it in case it needs modding, but the will to live is draining.

So please only add something if its new and not just stupid, like to get the soundbites like Thereasonous May or Backstabber Boris and so on.

US Fracking and Saudi Arabia defending its market share = The good news of an oil glut, lower and lower prices for us and squeaky bum time for Putin!

I suspect you could rewrite that article, change "remainer" to "brexiteer", flip the assertions and it would be just as true.

Knowing little or nothing about the EU is hardly the preserve of remainers.  ::) Particularly given the constant stream of lies and misinformation peddled (and then much later apologised for) by the daily fail, express etc Al.

One thing's for sure we all know a lot more about the EU than we did two and a half years ago.  ::)

By far the best clear, frank & concise article on why Parliament is tying itself in knots (or webs of deceit) over #Brexit. Hint:It is all due to the politicians big lie since we joined.

Working in the Internet business, I can tell just by looking at the seo friendly URL how that is bias ;)

I think (thick) joe public aren't. They believe what the BBC/Sky/Daily Fail/Guardian (included for fairnest) etc tell them.

I believe that is why individual views are so entrenched, and differing views must be wrong.


That's why the EU will roll over and give us the crown jewels, and conversely, project doom will happen.  Obviously, reality sits in the middle somewhere.

That's a gross underestimation regarding the perceptive ability of the voting public.

You've never had to deal with the general public in any way whatsoever have you?


I envy you :-\

For the record, I DO NOT agree with the title/caption of the video. That kind of ridiculous name calling is more than half the reason why remain couldn't engage and make a credible case for itself.

However the comments in the video stuck with me. And will probably stay in my memory for ever.

None of this matters. The majority voted to leave and leave we must. The only other option is to abolish democracy in the UK. Although those who are trying to subvert the result are trying to dress it up as other things, the result of not fully leaving, or not leaving at all, is the abolition of democracy.
This is why even those who voted to remain, if faced with another vote, should as a matter of conscience and morality, go out and vote to leave.
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Anyway there is some truth in the EU bendy banana story, as there are EU regulations that control the production and standards of fruit to be sold in the EU and Commission Regulation 2257/94 states that bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature."   :P

I'm sure that pre-1973 there were British regulations that did much the same thing, and post 29th March 2019 the regulation will endure, albeit converted to a UK regulation.  ;)
