If that was a dig at the Brexit vote outcome, then don’t denigrate the British public. The further you lived away from London the less you benefited from being in the EU, is it any wonder the vote went the way it did. That is just human nature after all.Yes, but unlike the British (English) Public, Supreme Court Justices are smart enough creatures to recognise the danger of voting themselves into a never ending nightmare. To give you an idea of just how much smarter the Justices are than our General Public, all nine can read. And I'm not talking about reading a Facebook feed, or a txt msg. The justices can - and do - read books. Perhaps even write them.
That's why they are so smart: They don't get their information from their favourite shitty internet site, then go onto another site to regurgitate it straight back out. They use books!
Lesson in there somewhere.
1 in 1(+60 zero's) chance.I hope she’s shown her workings out.
A year ago the deal was 'oven ready'. Doris must have been cooking on a pile of wet sticks and grass.Wasn’t that the odds of a No Deal Brexit about a year and a half ago?
It doesn't sound like something I'd want to back up!I hope she’s shown her workings out.
Well, that's rubbish. EU aid went to the regions.If that was a dig at the Brexit vote outcome, then don’t denigrate the British public.

This is off-topic, but I think there's a useful debate between which public wins the booby prize: the one that voted in a guy with a 30-year history as a con man with the understanding that we could rid ourselves of him in four years, or the one that voted to permanently alter its economic future based on a 15-word sentence.If that was a dig at the Brexit vote outcome, then don’t denigrate the British public.

I was once like you, tolerant and understanding on the matter. I should have known better. It's just another example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. You can't pretend it's wise to neglect to tell someone the reality of a situation. It doesn't matter if it's quite understandable that they don't feel the same way or not. It doesn't do them any good to let them continue to think that way. They don't like it? Sorry. We're supposed to be adults, and part of being an adult is owning the knowledge that indulging your feelings too much, or at the wrong time, is often the worse thing someone can do for you.If that was a dig at the Brexit vote outcome, then don’t denigrate the British public.

I hope to become a UK citizen before the next time you do this, because I'm hoping the next open question is "Shall the British government confiscate the assets of the top 1% of all earners, including the Crown, and distribute them equally among the remainder of the citizenry?"Brexit is far worse than Trump. Trump had limited power and what he did can be undone within a short time scale. Brexit invloves ditching 40+ years of economic integration overnight and replacing it with an empty slate.
You under estimate the influence of our right wing press. The idiots that voted for brexit will be conditioned as appropriate.I hope to become a UK citizen before the next time you do this, because I'm hoping the next open question is "Shall the British government confiscate the assets of the top 1% of all earners, including the Crown, and distribute them equally among the remainder of the citizenry?"
I mean, wouldn't something like that go over well? I think it'd win, don't you? I'm in!
I think come 1st Jan, we'll be lucky to have even a slate!Brexit is far worse than Trump. Trump had limited power and what he did can be undone within a short time scale. Brexit invloves ditching 40+ years of economic integration overnight and replacing it with an empty slate.
We win hands down, mate.This is off-topic, but I think there's a useful debate between which public wins the booby prize: the one that voted in a guy with a 30-year history as a con man with the understanding that we could rid ourselves of him in four years, or the one that voted to permanently alter its economic future based on a 15-word sentence.
We definitely win the prize now that you've managed to get rid of the orange turd. Had he got another four years, it could well have been different. I think economic reality will need to hit large numbers of the UK population before our government will face up to the clusterfuck that Brexit is well on the way to becoming. Luckily for you, Trump's total inability to discharge the job, his stupidity and his repulsiveness became sufficiently apparent before his enablers had enough time to fully rig the system to allow him to continue. If he had four more years I believe that the US would be going the way that UK appears to be in terms of potentially breaking up into its constituent parts.This is off-topic, but I think there's a useful debate between which public wins the booby prize: the one that voted in a guy with a 30-year history as a con man with the understanding that we could rid ourselves of him in four years, or the one that voted to permanently alter its economic future based on a 15-word sentence.

At this point you have to think a Trump 2nd term would effectively be the end of a fair US democratic process. Having lost this election if by some reason he got back in you can guarantee he would go full dictatorship. You know he regrets not doing more when he could.We definitely win the prize now that you've managed to get rid of the orange turd. Had he got another four years, it could well have been different.

16th I think?When is the certification of the results due?
Who do you think the two sides would be this time? I’ve been puzzling over exactly who is going to join the splitter army that the lunatic fringe right (read: seemingly nearly Everyone on the right) keeps “warning” everyone is “coming.” It’s not like we’re talking about the abolishment of slavery destroying my ability to make a living like in the 1860s.Unless they have a civil war again.
I think he’d try and while he has the GOP Legislative eunuchs in his pocket everywhere, he doesn’t have the judiciary, and he doesn’t have the armed services. He’d need them all.At this point you have to think a Trump 2nd term would effectively be the end of a fair US democratic process.

Agree - but if he knew 6 months back where he would end up he would try. And the same way now he is putting in the calls basically asking for a coup and asking for fabricated / bocus claims to be put forward as genuine evidence of fraud, he would do it pre-emptively. As of right now he is trying to 'fix' the election. So you have to assume he would go further in fixing the next election.I think he’d try and while he has the GOP Legislative eunuchs in his pocket everywhere, he doesn’t have the judiciary, and he doesn’t have the armed services.
