Political relations between UK-EU

[mcfc1632]

I think the fact he has a Euro flag on his tag line suggests he’s got a horse in the race, therefore far from objective analysis on his part.

I take comfort from this being the level of 'apocalypse' that they can report on

Scraping the bottom of the 'barrel of evidence' I would suggest - which are all good indicators for the health of the UK

I didn't even know they still had conductors on buses

They don't mate. They all relocated to front symphony orchestras.

That is anecdote, i asked for evidence

How Britain voted at the EU referendum | YouGov

Over-65s were more than twice as likely as under-25s to have voted to Leave the European Union

How many Labour supporters voted Leave?

Is Nigel Farage right that five million Labour supporters voted Leave?

Do you think it’s abnormal to listen to classical music or have a bit of knowledge outside your own narrow interests?

Of course not - what a strange thing to say in response to the post you replied to, but with regard the statement:

Most people would have heard of Simon Rattle. He is the Uks most famous conductor.

I would suggest that, if you replace 'lie' with clearly not true then:

No they wouldn’t, blatant lie.

Is a very accurate response

An interesting thread from a wine importing small business. Sounds like worse than just the poor fishing folk to me. Worthwhile following the thread to the end.

Not wishing to close anyone down but anyone who says "teething troubles" needs to read Lambert's whole thread before posting nonsense (but they still will).

Daniel lambert whines they should be called
So after only two weeks he has decided to up sticks and leave the country ??
There are children starving in this country, and a pandemic killing people.

Cue all the remainers who are huge fans of Simon something.
Who cares. Sounds like he has family in Germany and was going back anyway and as usual it’s some pointless political statement.
I’m sure all the northern folk who voted brexit will now having a rethink!

Does Simon employ people here jobs that will now go elsewhere ? It doesn’t matter though, there are loads of examples where life will be just a tiny bit worse loads of examples of things being more difficult, and more expensive for lots of businesses and employers, and those thing will become slightly more expensive and difficilt for consumers,now on there own they might be irrelevancies and seem trivial.
Troulble is all those little trivialities and small expensives add up. Now if there was some thing you could point to and say yes but on the other hand these thing will be better or easier, maybe people would okay a few small sacrifices are worth it. Yet nobody has ever pointed out any likely benefits to balance out the inconveniences,maybe you could help with some? Of course some effects like losing a business or a job aren’t that trivial.

I’m Pretty certain 99 people in every 100 Normal people have no idea who he is.
But every remainer on this forum is no doubt a huge fan of his work!

Now Brexit is just an episode of Pointless.

Lie? Thats a bit strong. Error maybe, but lie?

Without taking a poll of the entire population neither of us will ever know. So how the fuck can I lie about something neither of us know the correct answer to?

Anyway, back to Sir Simon Rattle. My contention is that anyone with a modicum of culture and education will have heard of him.

I have just asked 23 mates in a couple of WhatsApp groups - makes a change from all the 'amusing' clips that have been shared during lockdown

I will let you know the outcome of that 'poll'

BTW - Do you not think that:

"Anyway, back to Sir Simon Rattle. My contention is that anyone with a modicum of culture and education will have heard of him."

Is tad condescending/insulting?

I would suggest that, if you replace 'lie' with clearly not true then:

How do you know that? Are you saying that most citizens of the U.K. are uncultured and uneducated, don’t hav3 the slightest idea about classical music or have you polled the entire population. As usual you represent your opinions (and we know how sound they are) as truth.
