Tenuous and rather fatalistic I know but any chance to hear this is surely worth taking?

I'm not a binary(!) person and I recognise that some Brexit supporters can rationalise their choice, you included. I think your observation would probably be better expressed as me having disdain for the gullibility of the multitude of vociferously ardent yet woefully ill-informed Brexit...

That's a shame on two counts. One, you failed to appreciate my tone was an amplification of yours. Two, you'd now realise why your view as expressed is not valid.

Your reasoning is base on prejudiced assumption, your opinion presented as fact, your conclusions flawed and you have a predilection to slip into the language of a 21st century politician. Let's ease you off the soap box, deconstruct and rationalise the whole bugger's muddle. It is and it...

To paint a rather fuller picture: In 1992, the UK opted out of Monetary Union along with the Social Chapter In 1997, the UK opted out of abolition of border controls In 2009, the UK opted out of the Charter of Fundamental Human Rights In 2017, the UK opted out of adoption of common police and...

The answer appears to be yes!

Whether you substitute fairness for accountability or not, democracy is still a belief system. Fairness? Some people think that Communism is fairer than Democracy. Some people think that proportional representation is fairer than first past the post. Some people think that it would be fairer if...

I agree with you about the daily bun fight with proponents scrapping over ever scrap of the latest economic indicators, the ramifications of brexit are years if not decades away. Your analogy about the football match serve to illustrate how lots of peoples' mind set is driven by visceral...

OK, let's give it another shot. There is no logical distinction between Democracy, the Stock Exchange, Christianity, Capitalism, Voodooism, Money, Communism, UK legal system, Islam etc. They are all belief systems imagined and developed by people to solve problems and order society. Yes, some...

Off the point but rather more precisely, the rail network would be struggling so much if Dr. Beeching hadn't determined that 1/3 of the original railway structure (7000 stations, 6000 miles of track) should be dispensed with.

Another advocate here for not holding your breath. The first demands for a Worthing bypass were in the 1920's!

Although I strongly defend human rights I do recognise the merits of alternate beliefs. Your posts for example present a consistent and compelling argument for euthanasia.

A miserable, miserable day made far, far more miserable by sitting in the main stand amongst the insanely celebrating inmates.:ffsparr:

Does Gillingham v Brighton in 1977 count? I remember it snowed on the way home but we won 1-0 :ascarf:

You repeatedly fail to understand what I'm saying because it challenges a basic tenet of your belief system. You think I have a narrow view but, as an obviously fervent servant of your religion, it's your very subjectivity that denies you the perspective to form any objective assessment. I...

You keep missing the point, I'll spell it out. Facts can be dredged up to support any particular point of view. It's called selective use of facts. It's become known as confirmation bias. Google has greatly increased it's use. It's a cheap and easy way to win an argument with those who have less...

Good grief! In your mind those assumptions pass as a natural and logical extrapolation of the comments I've made on the thread?

I'll pick up a few salient points. My reference to google was alluding to your trait of seeking some facts to support your confirmation bias whilst ignoring others. Your wield the term "undemocratic" as though it is shameful. Democracy is a useful tool to allow the powerful and wealthy to...

You've clearly selected immigration on which to base your cause and effect analysis in order to make a point. Ignoring any others factors, which categories of immigrant labour do you suggest are the root cause of the UK Workforce's deficient levels of productivity?

The first clause in your question is correct, the second isn't and the third is a construct you've derived from either simplistic or deliberately obtuse logic.
