    Could Blutto enlighten me as to what Idiotic EU Human Rights are being referred to in this quote

    If we don't participate in the single market infrastructure then we will not have generated as much money in the first place and we will not have the [350 less big rebate] to send anywhere -we will simply have lower income.

    Good luck trying to get that concept to register in the befuddled psyche of the turkeys who voted for Christmas.

    I'm afraid you are right.

    When my son, a mathematician at Oxford University, heard the result he said "The Dwarves are for the Dwarves". It is a quote from the Last Battle - the final volume of the Chronicles of Narnia.

    The Dwarves are so fixated with ensuring they are not cheated that they condemn themselves to an eternity of austerity.

    Obviously your boy is after a plum job in Europe then or to go to University over there for a MA then? Once again opportunity for an Oxford don to go but not for a non -ivy league Uni student.

    When referring to dwarfed, sure you not talking about "The Hobbit books/films"?:cool:

    If he is at Oxford he has nothing to fear.he will get a plum job in the city for sure ,guarantee life of wealth and opportunity.its the guarantee that's the issue,others have not got a chance,that's why this country is SO-BROKEN.:(

    With the amount of swearing and name-calling in this thread, I'm surprised it hasn't been locked. Perhaps that is the intent of one or two posters here.

    The old adage may apply here I think?

    Don't argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Everyone's a leftie if you are so far right wing then even UKIP and BNP are liberals in comparison.
    Once you start generalising you've lost the argument.

    Not all leave camp are racists - far from it.

    On the other hand, it seems unlikely that a racist would vote to remain - and both blutto's and Dird's posts seem racist to me.

    Unfortunately these two seem to be trying to disprove that Leave was not about being racist and bigoted.

    How patronizing and disrespectful to those who use this forum.
    Interesting that no-one has responded explaining why my previous post was in any way disrespectful and explaining the planned trade deal that they had voted for.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    What part of my post is racist? Blutto's on the other hand...
