Guess or not, I suspect this is one of the most accurate statements we have seen linked to the whole Brexit fiasco.

Actually it seems it may be a team of rebadged consultants from the big four https://next.ft.com/content/7ccfd858-41e0-11e6-b22f-79eb4891c97d This won't come cheap. And I think we can safely assume that it will lead to some spectacularly lucrative opportunities for those same big four firms...

Ha ha ha ha ha. Good luck!

Ah yes. Magical thinking. Definitely the best way to manage a major global economy.. Appropriate from you I guess though

Lats time I looked we had dropped to 6th largest economy. Has that changed again? I can't keep up.

Pragmatism will require us to accept freedom of movement. 'Pragmatism' of another form also requires other EU countries to ensure we get a bad deal, to restrict the rise of further nationalist movements.

Fair enough. there are arguments both sides. I wanted to remain, despite being deeply cynical about how the EU works, how far it can be reformed and how it treated Greece. I have colleagues in Norway fighting to keep Norway out because they don't want to be dragged to the right by the EU. But...

If that had been the argument that the Leave camp had made then I don't think they would have won though. There was a coherent message (lie) throughout the campaign that we can cherry pick. That somehow by saying 'Britain is Great and we need to be confident in ourselves' would magically make us...

The Brexit crowd said they could maintain free trade with EU and restrict movement of people. That is either a knowing lie or extreme stupidity. Seems that Boris had no appetite for facing up to that lie. As anyone with an ounce of sense would have understood, we have a choice of either keeping...

I'd hope not. They are MEPs. I don't think they should be average and nor would any sane person. You might say you do, but that is because you are a second account created purely for wind up purposes.

I will concede your point about our own PMQs and many politicians acting like arses. But I will maintain my position that Farage takes it to another level and also does it in a context where there is a tradition of acting like polite grown ups. I know they are used to it and don't take him...

I dont think you have interpreted Farages statement correctly and this animation doesnt necessarily invalidate his main point, firstly it was partly tongue in cheek and secondly he wasnt saying that they weren't academically intelligent, for me it was more that they represented a an elite class...

There are many others. Let me say Catherine West just to throw a name in that I am personally familiar with. My (loaded yes) question was to make the point that is not necessary to act like a total dick in order to 'do what it says on the tin'.

The man is an utter prick and a liar.

Caroline Lucas Or does having principles, speaking your mind and working hard only count if you are also unable to behave like a grown up?

I suspect he thinks exactly that - and correctly so - but because he's a grown up he can rise above it: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/2014-2019/andriukaitis/blog/thoughts-weareseat123_en Seriously, I know this whole thread is one long exercise in trolling but anyone that thinks Farage has...
