Doesn't this belong in the links thread you started in Discussion Time?

Don't yours?

I've been asked to come back because you were spraying the house board with project fear links.

I'd like to think that mine at least add a little something.....

As I have said before....put me on ignore...

The ramifications of foolhardily pursuing brexit while public opinion is (slowly) but surely turning against it, can also not be ignored.

Fair enough, there was a slim majority for brexit in a non-legally binding, advisory referendum some time last year, but that's all really.

After all, there is a clear precedent.
When the public voted for 'Boaty McBoatface', they named the research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough anyway.

Ok - I see how it is. You can do news links but the rest of us can't.

Shall I report your posts as spam?

Yes, I can imagine the demand for googled links was massive.

But, but they don't need us, they have 'the rest of the EU massive market to focus on, and little to lose by putting barriers on UK trade'.

The Express and Mail are also printed (although the Indy isn't any more). You may not like what they print, therefore, according to you they are not biased. Agreed?

I probably worded it badly. All sources everywhere are biased; I am, you are, and so on. It's important to remember that when viewing any information.

I'd still expect a printed newspaper to have a higher standard of content than a website almost no-one has heard of.

In fairness here, if anyone is posting links while summarising then I'm fine with that.

Please don't just post links as some of us are reading here around other things and don't have time to read links to get the gist of an argument either way in full. That goes for both sides here and isn't aimed at any one person.

I think that was the point that Mayo was making originally.

I can't believe you still don't seem to understand that someone can want to trade with us without needing. They will benefit from a good trade deal with us (as will we), but they won't fall apart without one (whereas we might). I'm starting to think you're being deliberately obtuse.

And I can't believe you still don't get the distinction between posting a link as part of a discussion* and spam**. I could write a bot that'd replicate your 'posts' but I couldn't do it with his. Again, I think you know the difference and are just being obtuse too.

*He's posting links to support what he's saying, with at least some commentary on the links, and continues to engage in conversation.

**You're posting links with minimal relation to the current subject, with no commentary and don't appear to be interested in any conversation. Your posts are just a headline, random paragraph and link. No context, no discussion.

Please keep your links to a links only, no discussion topic, like you'd threatened to do previously. That way you can keep doing it and we don't need to waste your time trying to engage you in any discussion.
