Brexit all done and dusted?

Id just like to you tell me durhamjen as i got lost in all your links.

Jen has given her reasons a number of times while these threads have been going on. A number of us have the same or similar reasons for wanting to stay.

Id like them in some sort of readable form, it get's lost in links. Could you tell me then why you want to stay as she's not around at the moment.

As far as I can see, those who frequently post links do so as a result of fairly extensive reading. Their links are helpful to anyone who wants to follow an argument through. Equally they can be and are ignored.
To expect them to spoonfeed articles to those who don't/ won't/ can't read the linked articles, by providing précis is asking too much.
There's also lots of intelligent discussion available if you sort the wheat from the chaff.

Google - What has the EU done for us- or similar SAAK and you should get some answers. As Mcem says we post the links when articles are long or we know many people will not be bothered to read the articles. It is now too time consuming to give you all the reasons - we do all have another life!

I agree mcem. I really appreciate links, especially from dj who directs us to sites we may not know. The more information the better.

Exactly, they are too long so I have no idea why you would do that. Just say what you think in a few sentences.

Oh saak if only it were that simple!

durhamjen has a lot of links posted to her email inbox by various media sources - she just passes them on to GN. You don't really think she scours the internet for information to back up her views, surely?

It is Varian. I want out of a dictatorship and will do what is necessary to get out of it. We can always rebuild, we can't stay in something that doesn't work.

Ana the implication is that however the initial articles come to the attention of any interested party, at least a quick skim-read will be necessary to decide which are noteworthy and relevant. Google, newsfeeds, the media even visits to the local library might all prove to be useful sources.
Expecting major issues to be chunked to make them easy to understand is pretty lazy. Clearly those who acquire their 'knowledge'from dubious headlines and soundbites are content with that level of research and can't handle anything more demanding.

saak you are not and never have been living in a dictatorship.

Please do not believe everything you read in the Daily Mail/ Sun / Express.

There are countries in the world that are much nearer to dictatorships - Turkey, the Philipines and many others. Think yourself lucky that you are free to express your opinions and I mine.

The EU was a force for good. Did you never vote in an EU election? Or did you make the mistake of voting UKIP?

Yes mcem, I do appreciate that the articles have to be at least skim-read before being passed on as supporting a certain view.

I was just making the point that durhamjen doesn't spend her days scouring the internet etc.

Don't forget North Korea and Saudi - all countries Brexiteers see as potential trading partners.

I wish I'd spent the last twenty years being a UKIP MEP. I wouldn't have had to do much, nice salary (paid in euros,so it would have increased over the last year), expenses, good pension. Wow! They certainly spotted the gravy train as it was departing!

I think that's fairly obvious. Who'd have time? Also who'd have time to translate heaps of relevant information into words of one syllable to satisfy those who CBA even trying to find a source other than the tabloids? (Obviously that's not directed at you!)

I like original articles, because I can delve into any sources cited, even if the article has been summarised.

"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
and drinking largely sobers us again."

Alexander Pope in "An Essay on Criticism", 1709

what will happen? the sky will fall in obviously. It's not a mistake, the only mistake some people are making is being so negative about a new beginning. Staid, non achievers do this.

Dear oh dear!

People with no argument resort to name-calling.

I didn't name call at all. I said that people who are negative about new beginnings are usual staid and non achievers. This is probably due to fear of the unknown. Where people that go for it are achievers.

Oh saak you have just stated something as if it was a fact which sounds to me exactly the opposite of the truth. Is that an alternative fact? If not please give us a link to your evidence.

It is becoming quite well known that gluten isn't the issue in most cases. Im not into posting links though so maybe do a bit of reverse research yourself?

Apologies. wrong thread

On this one, I don't really need to give any evidence. What on earth is that? I know "my" truth that I live every day, don't you?

Gluten???

Are you Kellyann Conway?

ha, im laughing here. Apologies!
