I realise the source and know not how to embed the video (perhaps a young person would be kind enough) http://www.open-britain.co.uk/ but these examples should put paid to the lie being perpetuated on here that every outer wanted to leave the single market and knew that a vote for Brexit meant leaving the single market.


I can't stand a lot of the EU but I'm not mad enough to want to leave the single market.

And quite rightly I would. You shouldn't differentiate based on religion. It's perfectly fine to differentiate based on people's views and opinions though.

So, do you want me to care for you?
Are religious beliefs not views then? And in any case the Muslim might be white and with an English background.

And as for caring, it is to everyone's distinct advantage if people cared more and took time to try and understand one another. Socialism is aimed at improving the lot of the lower classes, I would suggest that many of those voted leave. Is your socialism dependent upon whether a person happens to share your view? It would appear that your belief is to have compassion for those who are worse off only if you like them.

If you care to go back just a little before you selective 3 year period, then the overall average doesnt tell us much, more just reaffirms what a basket case the whole region is, especially when you look at each member state.

Since when have you started using the debacle of the Euro and an unsustainable extension of credit in some key member states as some reason to Remain, thats back to front.

Nothing selective about using the last 3 years, it is the period that unemployment has been falling for, if it had just been the last 2 I would have said that, it is the current trend, however far back you wish to go.

I did not use the problems of the Euro as reason to remain, I did and do maintain that it is however not a good reason for leaving, the status of the Euro will have similar impact upon us whether we are in or out. The status of the pound is a different matter, it has weakened and will weaken further if we leave the single market.

I think you need some care though.

Really, seems to be you that has been getting a bit flustered, calling a poster a prick, me a stupid idiot etc, and keep saying to posters that do not agree with you that you will put them on ignore.
Enjoy your look out of the window, give us a wave from your perfect Fatherland.

Of course they are views but there are many different views within a religion. It would be daft to pigeon hole everyone.

And I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with your last sentence.

I agree it would be daft. But you admit religions support all kinds of 'views'. You have already justified not being bothered about someone's well-being etc if they don't happen to agree with you so why differentiate on religion?

"I don't care for ___" means that you don't like something.

This does mean I am not bothered about people's well being. I don't like a lot of people but it would be wrong to say I don't care about their well being.

Yes, you are missing something. My post is regarding the thread " Is Theresa May out of her depth ? " which has been merged with the Brexit/speculation thread. For clarity Maggie #2 , has said that " Capitalism is not working for many people " and refers to " the people left behind " however, in line with most of the government's aims, she and her cabinet have no policy on how to improve how capitalism works other than to hope employment goes up and that employers suddenly feel benevolent towards their staff.

Ah Ok sorry for the misunderstanding. UTA

The number of affordable homes built in England in 2015-16 fell to its lowest level for 24 years, new data shows.
There were 32,110 built, compared to 66,600 in the previous year, according to figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government.
..
The DCLG figures showed the number of new homes for social rent fell to only 6,550.

The Tories a government working for all #not.
