    If you include all the deleted posts, this is the first post on page 1,003.

    Nope – new page starts after 35 posts have been made on a page (the total post count of less than 35,000 is due to posts being deleted on previous pages – I’m assuming given Cougar’s comment that posts deleted before a new page is started don’t count towards the 35). My first post on the previous page was 12th post on the page…

    Correct. Unless I enable the magic button which displays them again, in which case it shifts all the page numbers accordingly. So presumably there has been 105 deleted posts on this thread (well, 106 cos I’ve just deleted my own double post too).

    There has been rampant page inflation because it used to be 40 – in this case don’t blame it on the Brexit, blame it on the boogie.

    If I was I wouldn’t need to assume about deleted posts would I?

    Or is that a double bluff? 😈

    Though don’t be too impressed at my counting ability (actually I’m not sure I had ever counted the posts on a page before just now, just noted that 36 posts resulted in a 2nd page, 71 in a 3rd etc.)

    Why do you think tyhe outies are so hysterical about the prospect of another referendum? Its because they know they would lose

    Even Jamba admitted this is the case, says it all really.

    jambalaya – Member

    Remainers want a second Referendum on the deal as it will surely be rejected, Remainers will vote no and half the leavers will think the deal is either too soft or too hard. It’s bound to be 66/33 whether its a hard Brexit or a soft Brexit.

    So if i understand this correctly we had a narrow win based on lies, there is no majority for what to do next, no clear plan but we have to get right behind it, whatever it is.

    Anyway, back to the original subject – didn’t catch up before when I noticed we were on page 999!

    😆 I suggest you do some research into what a zero sum game is

    I’ll repeat what I said several hundred pages back that the best the UK can aim for a customs union like Turkey have but with the power to negotiate it’s own trade deals with non EU members.It will come at a price though…
    As an aside is the EU actually a force for good? It may be good for it’s members and citizens but is it good for the rest of the world,especially developing nations? Many African nations feel they are getting shafted by the EU. Germany makes more money out of coffee than Ethiopia where it is grown for example.EU import tariffs stifle the development of developing nations.They can sell some of the raw materials(stuff the EU needs but cant grow) but not maufactured products where the real money can be made nor stuff that competes with EU grown produce without crippling tariffs. Looking from outside of the EU bubble is the EU anything more than a giant cartel that actually keeps poor non EU nations poor? Lots on here have laudable views about alleviating poverty,helping others, promoting freedom and equality etc but do the EU trade policies actually achieve the opposite? I don’t for one minute think this was ever in the minds of any of the Brexiteers btw.

    #

    Many don’t as they understand that referendums have no place in a parliamentary democracy.

    Interesting to read that Jamba thinks Leave will lose heavily though.

    That’s really not the best the UK can hope for. It’s the least worst.

    Is this still page 1000?

    So in the last 1000 pages have any of the leavers told us what the plan is. Anyone admitted that the bus thing might not have been 100% accurate?

    I think this thread is a bit like bitcoin, you think it’ll crash and fade away but it just keeps getting bigger.

    TBH I think most brexiteers know this; it’s why the campaign promised everything to everyone, they knew there was no vision of brexit- no real brexit- that could win them the referendum.

    The only surprise is when people admit it.
