I won't change my mind that given the specific circumstances surrounding the vote and its emerging consequences it would have been reasonable to have offered the people the chance to confirm or otherwise their decision but that's in the past and I accept what has now happened. Boris is king, the...

Goodo. I thought you'd swerve the point.

Your post is predicated on a definition of 'ignore' that far exceeds normal usage. The emergence of the previously-concealed implications of the Brexit decision contributed to two parliaments falling before their time and the electorate being prematurely requested to come up with a new decision...

The fact that you can be constantly amused by something that exists only in your head is alarming. (Unless the 'them' in your post was a reference to the far-right, spitting, facially tattooed, video camera-wielding Brexit cheerleaders being shepherded away by police in Parliament Square last...

Most of us who are lifetime supporters of an habitually lower-league football team have a strong sense of place. I am pleased I was born in Brighton, and feel a close connection with Sussex, Lincolnshire and my country. That's enough for me - to tell someone that my places are definitely better...

But how can you be sure you hate the BBC if you never watch it? (For what it's worth, my opinion of the BBC's news output has gone down in recent years. Its producers seem unable to differentiate between hard news and soft documentaries - barely a bulletin goes by without a lengthy 'special...

My word. That was an eye-opener. Do you surround yourself with all that bog-eyed one-sided hate regularly? It can't be good.

I don't have you on ignore. But I have been a LibDem member for many years. I am used to pain.

No one has said that NATO or UN membership is 'virtually the same as EU membership". The suggestion is that membership of international bodies (and sometimes the signing of international treaties) leads to reductions in sovereignty, all of them different and some of them quite severe...

I think sovereignty is very important. It's a nuanced issue though. In any case I'm not convinced that anyone voting for a party that signed an international treaty committing the country to controls over goods moving around within its own borders can claim any sort of high ground on the subject.

It might be about placating the Unionists but to me it looks like a straightforward Indyref2 ploy. Johnson wants a huge Scottish infrastructure project on the table so he can assure the Scots that it will really happen if they vote No to independence, and definitely won't if they say Yes. If...

Just to remind you...

The only trouble is that you have a bit of previous when it comes to walking away from arguments, ignoring quietly made points, going silent for a day and then returning with one of your self-defined and entirely irrelevant funnies on some other matter. For example, when I pasted a sober blog...

Answers or not, it would be nice to have rational views. Let's hope we get more than a ppf video.

David Green's excellent Law & Policy Blog touches on Brexit this week. It makes some points I see as fundamental. I reproduce it here simply to add to the debate. I am sure Pastafarian, JCFG and others will have a view. Sovereignty – why the question needs to keep on being asked of Brexit as...

So did I. Bloody terrifying towards the end. Convinced Liverpool were going to score.

I'm sorry to point this out but I think you may have posted the wrong video. This one is mainly about the problems exporters are having as a result of Brexit. It does then go on to talk about new doors having opened for trade with the US and Canada but as everyone knows that no new doors...

There really is very little point trying to debate anything with you. All you do is rush around the perimeter fence making squeaky little jibes. My view is as stated - the EU is paying the price for turning up late at the vaccine store. And yes, I would be saddened if the supply variations...

From the man who pretty much always disappears at the first sight of undisputed Brexit-related bad news that's a bit rich. For what it's worth, my first reading of this issue was that the UK was further extending its tiresome vaccine nationalism by leaning on AZ to divert its faltering output...

Me neither!
