    Are you saying I don't know my own mind?

    I am offering a scenario that's possible. Or do you think the taking all available information and thinking things through, looking at possible outcomes isn't a serious thing to do?

    There's a limit on the number of Australians allowed in. I think Sydney are allowing 300 per day, and a few other major transport hubs 500 per week. I haven't fact checked that, I'm going on memory. There are hundreds of thousands of Australians abroad in countries where their visas have expired, where they are penniless illegal immigrants and genuinely starving that can't get home. I am not exaggerating. But you know, as you said in another post, they're doing a lot better than us.

    When does human experience come into anyone's evaluation of what's actually happening?

    The majority of the Home Counties voted remain. Yellow on the map. As opposed to Barnsley which was 68% leave. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/eu_referendum/results

    Yep.

    17m out of 46m is a clear majority.

    Take a look at the map pal. No need to be bitter.

    No problems.

    It's amusing you haven't even realised what you typed is incorrect.

    What that you’re bitter? Yes I’m correct. So are we counting people who didn’t vote in the referendum? There was a 72% turnout, did the other 28% mean to vote remain but couldn’t get to the polling station?

    Nobody knows.

    I was just saying that 17m out of 46m isn't a majority - so you are factually wrong.

    That's all.

    Well done on managing 72 + 28 btw.

    Baby steps.

    He probably will. He seems reasonable and magnanimous. He'll not particularly like it because no one will, it's going to be utterly horrible, but he'll take it in his stride and hope to change it through his democratic vote at the next opportunity. You'll fc*king hate it. You're reactionary and not that bright and the suffering you'll endure will have you screaming. And that's the big irony: those that voted remain will cope with Brexit far better than those who voted leave. But we'll change it back for you love, don't worry, we'll make sure you're alright despite yourself.

    Haha. What a crock of S.hit. You don’t even know me or my circumstances. This coming from someone who said we’ll have no food because our friends in the EU haven’t planted any. The way some of you lot go on about it you’d think the f.ucking world was ending. I’ve got news for you, it isn’t!!!!

    We were part of the EU though, it wasnt some foreign entity. And we had a lot of muscle in it, we didnt go with the euro for example.so a lot of the benefits without the restrictions. And now that's been thrown away.
