It has really. It’s proved unequivocally that you were wrong.

It certainly has. Thanks for providing all of this detailed information. Without that I'd have gone through the rest of my life believing that all companies borrow money at some point.

Yes, thankfully you can now stop believing that.

Edit: For clarity, my answer was not proved to be wrong. Someone disagreed with it without giving proof (which would have been impossible). I have accepted their word at face value.

No.
it was proved wrong.

Look at the replies to see how many people do not agree.
Quite why you're having such difficulty accepting your error I don't know but be advised that it isn't improving the likelihood of people to have any faith in what you post in future.

Show me where I was proved to be wrong. I can see that someone disagreed with it but no proof was given. Note that I'm not questioning that posters integrity, merely that they are unable to offer any proof. Indeed, due to the nature of the post it would probably be illegal for them to do so.

I think that Brexit will be a disaster but it doesn't make it true and as such I'm not claiming that those who want Brexit have been proved wrong.

This has started to get tedious. I stated that all companies borrow money.

Where is your proof?

My wife’s company has never borrowed any money.

Perhaps your wife’s company have not started trading yet.

This after:

You yourself in the first quote here admit that you can see someone that disagreed, so you have proven yourself wrong by that very statement since that admission that not everybody agrees.
All you're doing is digging a deeper hole now.

Anyone up for a little flutter on the upcoming GE result?

Here's mine.

Con 280
Lab 250
Lib Dem 40
Brexit 20
SNP 40
Other 20

Lab/LD/SNP coalition or supply and confidence agreement.

Place your bets

After Farage's capitulation today, I have to revise my forecast:

Con 300
Lab 250
Lib Dem 40
Brexit 0
SNP 40
Other 20

So your forecast is that Labour won’t lose a single seat to the Brexit Party? Even in constituencies where they voted 70% leave?
