And your point is?

I just said what it was. But it comes as no surprise that it went over your head.

You've been found out, given chapter and verse, and you still can't admit it. No change there, then.

Found out? Doing?

Ok, so you've missed the point entirely, said something which doesn't make sense, so now we're doing the magocrazy train, where I've now asked a question you'll not be able to answer.

You're either cleverly gaslighting, or you really aren't all there. Sometimes this is funny, other times it's a question of mental sanity.

Whatever. I'm tired of trying to point out the numerous inconsistencies and absurdities of your comments, only for you to (deliberately) misunderstand what I've written. Conversing with you is like trying to knit yoghurt.

Inconsistencies? You are the one always backpedalling when asked a question based on what you've said. You are utterly bonkers.

So why are you even bothering to engage with me then? Tell you what - you put me on ignore and I'll do the same to you. Job jobbed.

So I take it that's a no, then? Shame, as I'm sure most people on the forum are getting tired of these little spats.

In other words, you've not explained it in a way he can understand.

I think that it's time for all parties to stop the ming mong ping pong,
It has become very tiresome - and honestly, a bit dull to read through.

Good point, well made...

We left - and have to get on with it.

It's bit like people harping back to the days of the Empire and good quality glue to sniff. It's gone - so it is now time to deal with the future.

Our Frank Spencer still has a stock of the old glue by the looks of it....

This response always reminds me of plums you get in TV quiz shows moaning that they weren’t asked the right questions. Y’know, the ones they knew the answers to.

Whether or not the question was highbrow enough for some, the responses have underlined a paucity or even complete absence of argument regarding benefits of Brexit.

If there was someone senior in the treasury who could come into the thread and point out that exchequer is £x million better off because of our non EU status that would be interesting.
I haven't seen anything amongst the MMPP across 22 pages that calls out any material benefit from our exit that would be missed. Therefore I'm concluding that there might be a financial benefit for the Govt, but not really anything else?

It's that mysterious element, sovereigntinium, that disappears as soon as you try and put it under a microscope.
