In fairness, it's not just them but their efforts do seem rather more egregious. Probably partly a matter of their having more states under their...

pffft, what's really "interesting" is the 17 separate criminal investigations involving/implicating Trump. The President of the United States is...

Then it really sucks to be a US coastal STATE, huh. We don't take measures to protect them, but also can't sell them off. :bulb: I think our...

I was wondering when WI or MI would be mentioned....it's a disturbing pattern and abuse of power from Republicans. Talk about hypocrisy. :rolleyes: ...

I doubt that. Changing the treaties isn't that simple. It's also not easy to re-write article 50 in a way that would not result in the same outcome. ...

Ok, chap.

Sorry but you are mistaken ; you are not our competitors. Our competitors are not midsized European countries. Those are our sphere of influence.

This article mentions such a comparison: https://www.ft.com/content/202a60c0-cfd8-11e5-831d-09f7778e7377 I think it's well written and...

Safe bet that A50 would be changed to preclude subsequent abuses.

Indeed. Legally it would even be easier to revoke and then re-invoke A50 which is a bizarre situation but there we go. (It's my understanding that...

Sure, and a decision based on an advisory referendum can be undone. Legally, it's easier for the UK to revoke the A50 notification than to get an...

I highly doubt the referendum would have been won if Leave had campaigned on the basis of a no deal Brexit. No deal Brexit != disorderly...

By that point it's a bit too late. But hey, it's not my country you're running off the cliff at breakneck speed.

Surely what the dimwits idiots racists ignorant xenophobes halfwits braindead Brexiteers wanted was a hard Brexit in the first place? I can't imagine...

I don't see any previously unknown facts. That the EU doesn't want Brexit to go ahead so are being awkward is not unknown and was warned about before...

In my view, the only case for a second referendum is if the only option left is hard brexit.

Ah, I see. So the decision of the referendum cannot be reversed? And before you answer: Please consider that even the people in Ancient Athens,...

Sure they can at the next election once this one has been implemented. Nothing lasts forever and every decision can eventually be reversed that's a...

So, that means the voter is not allowed to change his mind even on the basis of a better understanding of the matter at hand?

Because they lost already. Enact what was won and then judge from there.

Funny how the British government is talking about continuing talks with the EU confirming there are no talks. Who are the Brits talking with?

And why should a majority for remain have to wait for maximum damage?

Considering I started making the comparison before the referendum (thus before the vote and its aftermath) there's no dishonesty intended by...

The relationships between the GDP/capita metric for the UK, NZ and CA, with or without adjustment for PPP, have been relatively constant for the past...

Not sure what you're trying to prove there. Since 1998 we've kind of plateaued relative to CA and NZ? Not exactly a great argument in favour of...

I just provided a graph over the last couple of decades, 11 minutes after suggesting it, which was the time it took for me to get the graph...

Yeah, except: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=2015&locations=GB-CA-NZ&start=1998
