    Some further clarification on the 'goings on' in Portugal:
    That's all good and well, but how many people will read your link, compared to the Telegraph article?
    It's the way the debate will be going I'm afraid. Obfuscation and plain lies by the 'out' camp, willingly lapped up by the more gullible among us who can't even distinguish between factual reporting and editorial comment.

    The relevance of such a statement, in the context it's set in is absolutely HUGE.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    You could add the word 'no' after the question mark as well maybe?
    Left is never right but I always am.

    Much appreciated. I like a bit of clarifying punctuation. I once went to Westward Ho! just because it has an exclamation mark in its name. :D

    I've just been there - it's a dump.
    I thought the exclamation mark sounded romantic, added to the stirring novel of the name by Charles Kingsley and it's setting for Kipling's Stalky & Co, but alas, no.

    It didn't help matters that it was raining when I went there. The English seaside is never improved by the rain IME. And we couldn't find a pub which was very saddening.

    Dump is a bit strong though. It's not up north or anything.

    Just reading about what's happening in Portugal and wondering what implications it could have on the EU and the UK

    We are living in interesting times

    Anyone got any opinions ?

    To be honest that one's a deff no as it closes debate and this is a debate page ... if I added no I would need to add yes :-)
