There is little simpler than - do you want to be a member of the EU or leave the EU. Contrast that will demands for elaborate ballot papers listing different options etc?!?

Yes but only one participant has the privilege to get away with it.

You could of course find the quote. Up to you

Make a point. Cut and paste a quote. Attribute the source. Citation please. We may well agree with you, if we knew what exactly you are calling a lie.

BOE and tr4easury please as well.

You keep claiming that all these people lied.  Now lets see the lies.  No one else can or has seen them

It's in the previous 1257 pages, and I know you prefer people to read back and do their own research.  I'd hate for you to miss any context.

Plenty will not have seen it or know where to look.

Copy and paste for those.

Teach a man to fish

..and he catches a different fish to the one you were referring to.  Show him the actual fish you meant and he knows it's a load of carp.

I don't think anyone thinks the Remain campaign was anything but a disaster, and completely outgunned by the Leave campaign. None of us particularly want to defend how it was handled, or the people involved in it. If you point out a specific lie @teamhurtmore, we are likely to agree with you, if it was indeed a lie.

Now, is the reason for all your "our side lied" noise to try and claim some equivalence with the lies that were central to the campaign posters, videos, buses etc of the Leave campaigns? To brush aside concerns about how those campaigns were funded, and deliberately broke the law?

Agreed @onewheelgood … let's move on from 2016, and concentrate on what's happening, or not, right now.

Tick. Tock.

So can’t we just leave it? Why can’t I leave it? Why am I bothering posting this?

Because he is trolling well.  You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I dunno about that. A good troll isnt caught out and, ideally, starts the fight and then walks away leaving everyone else to fight it out.

Since when has exposing the lies used to obstruct the passage of democracy not been about Brexit. It is it’s defining (past, current and forward) characteristic.

Odd there still seemed a lot of people milling around Canary Wharf today including some senior people and even just had a visit from IT. This is despite the fact they have all left in floods

boss of JLR = "tens of thousands of jobs at risk"  "

Ralf Speth, the company’s chief executive, told the prime minister that he could not say for certain that any of the automative giant’s manufacturing plants in Britain, which employ 40,000 people, could continue to operate after Brexit day.

Barnier has already had his say on Chequers. The EU’s member states will not accept its central planks: a facilitated customs arrangement that will allow the UK to have an independent trade policy, while enjoying the benefits of frictionless trade, and a common rule book on agricultural and industrial goods

Sorry - has Brexit happened yet?

I must have missed that.

Or are they just planning and waiting until everyone (but not TMH)  finds out what type of Brexit will actually happen.

But great news about the increased funding for the NHS (well - spending money on stock piling drugs which will go out of date and get binned).

Not sure @Leku, but I have discovered first hand that GPs have been told not to allow patients to obtain contingency supplies of their own. So "just it time" prescriptions of insulin are to continue. No buffers in the fridge at home. Might just have to find a way of buying some in February, to be stress free.

Were looking forward deadly. The euro zone meltdown started in 2009 and for the poor young unemployed of S Europe is still lingering with them. Shame folk in the U.K. have such little empathy with them.

But those jobs are not in the financial sector so they aren't proper jobs at all.

That's quite a slow burner then. Any indication of when this meltdown will come to a head? My wife is planning a trip to the Euro-zone next week and it would be annoying to get caught up in civil unrest.

Remarkably, we have avoided any trouble during our trips there during this past decade of meltdown. In fact it's been much like the UK, but with better coffee and weather.

Please explain how Brexit helps them?

Your causality is the wrong way round. You should be asking how did their experiences contribute/lead to Brexit, populism and a major shift in the political climate in Sweden

ask the wrong question...

the passage of democracy

This is getting tiresome now, but please find any democratic event in history where the losing side went "fair enough mate, we lost. You were right and we were wrong. I'm no longer going to argue for my side"

You are just the worst THM. Your stance is the adult equivalent of being caught doing something wrong by your parents, using the old "but everyone else was doing it" and your parents asking you "if everyone else jumped off a cliff would you do the same?"

Thankfully some of us have a bit of backbone and grit and we'll continue to fight for what we believe in rather than being pansy defeatist cucks!

You've exposed less than my 87 year old maiden aunt. And I spoke to Peston - he's never ******* heard of you.

If you are this much of an irritating little man (apologies if you are female, I can't remember if we ever established your gender) in real life it's not surprising you have to spend all your time on here - I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend any time with you.

I know perfectly well what has driven the rise in populism. The financial services sector will be the next to feel the effects. I also know that Brexit and all the other nationalist movements will only makes things worse for those most affected.  Are you actually proposing any positive action, or are you just trying (successfully) to wind people up?

Again, tiresome. You're playing semantics, and this has been pointed out to you many times, but once more with feeling, we haven't actually left the EU yet.

The PM has been busy today… highlighting strategic investment made by the EU in the UK. She then had to listened to the JLR explaining how her choices could well end car manufacturing in the UK.

Another good day for her.

I agree that Brexit won’t help then. That was never my point. On the contrary, I have long argued that if we don’t understand why people voted to leave then the debate is doomed. See above.

So rather than driving them away/bullying/insulting then, far better to recognise that neither the true economic arguments nor the desperate economic lies (pre and post vote) work. Otherwise you end up with populist, extremists rising even in our more liberal economies.

This thread has been a catalogue of abuse of the winners combined with gross distortions of truth in the main. Only the latter makes it fun to read. The former should have been moderates against, but hey ho

This here euro meltdown.  Now you told us Greece would leave the euro at least 2 years ago.  You also said others would follow.  Still not happened.  Still a stronger currency than the £.  Still working just fine, still no meltdown

These lies told by the BOE and HMT - are you going to tell us what they are / were?

Or do we conclude you are a know nothing walt?

That's the most reasonable, logical thing I've seen you post since you came back. On the flip side, do you understand why people are anxious for us not to leave?

The former should have been moderates against, but hey ho

I don't recall you being overtly insulting, amd I've certainly seen some nasty stuff aimed at you, but you can be pretty snotty when someone corners you on a point, you're a long way from being blameless on that score.

The main poster of abuse on here is THM< - constantly calling me a liar and a bully amongst others but will not say where and when I or anyone else has lied.

So go on THM - prove I am a liar or admit you call people names for no reason

Yup, we’ve been pretty disparaging of politicians that campaigned for Remain as well.

Such as our current PM… how has her day been today…? How is her plan going down with industry, voters, and her own MPs?

And the leader of the opposition, has he put any bones on his plan yet? Or is it just "the government is doing it wrong"? Using the same "we're not the government" reasoning as the ERG to avoid spelling out how we should Leave?

Not many positive postings for our last PM either. High point of the year was a Brexit voting actor calling him a ____… we all quite enjoyed that.
