Enjoy:   The condescending title and fist paragraph set the tone nicely. So, a massive, expensive, beurocratic monster, but it doesn't actually do anything? Presumably on that basis, there is little point in the beast, and it matters not whether we Remain or Leave. That should make things easier. Thanks Loob. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nah, you simply failed to comprehend it.  Those are just the bits the UK didn't support, hardly anything.... the central point of the piece.    Edited January 22, 2019 by Magilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There are lots of books available to read that can help people learn how to speak to people in an affable, friendly way. He should try some. Starting a tweet like the author did, isn't going to persuade anyone to look at it, except people who already agree with him. Simple innit.

WiseOwl182 Â Â 10 #1044 Posted January 22, 2019 What we really needed to keep almost everyone happy was remain in the EU with an ability to set an upper limit on migration. I don't think there'd have been a leave vote then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
