I have colour-coded for Good (5), Bad (9), and Neutral (6) responses.

There are quanitatively more Bad than Good responses, ignoring the Neutral responses.

If we weight them by rank (points equal to numerical rank), total the points for each category, divide by the number of responses in each category, then order them from lowest total (highest weight) to highest total (lowest weight), it looks like this:

Good (8.60 - 28.47%)
Neutral (9.16 - 30.33%)
Bad (12.44 - 41.19%)

By percentage of total weighted points (roughly reflective of the proportion of qualitative value of responses), Bad is actually the largest response category. Good is the highest weighted, but not by much.

How long before Bad overtakes Good in these surveys?

No mention of blue passports?

We could scrap the VAT on domestic fuel - Leave said we would do that, but we haven't

Guarantee that the market would adjust their price upwards to pocket extra revenue at the expense of the exchequer anyway.

To be fair, if you’ve already made it to your 50s your life expectancy is 84.

in tribute to Sebastian Blue I did some of my own research to find and list Brexit benefits as JRM couldn't and I am pleased to list them here in all their glory



















yeah right - if any Brexiteer can fill in the gap it would be hilarious to see you try

I think he meant redistributing…

so here we have the most pro Brexit person possible detailing the benefits for the rest of us that can’t remember them all.

I know The VAT one is a lie for starters. Not sure about the rest

I’ve not read a word but I’ll hazard it’s mostly dishonest.

Found one!

This has got to be a fucking wind-up, surely.

I think part of the problem is there are two types of people. Some put a high value on abstract concepts. Others are more practical.

I take the view that what puts food on the table is more important than the colour of the passport or the theoretical powers of the UK Parliament. Especially as our democracy, so-called, is pretty much a sham, where a minority can elect a dictatorial majority.

Spot on.

Think the way my generation have nailed it will mean life expectancy in this country further dipping, and significantly so, in the next decade.
