My post was aimed at identifying whether you were aware of any specific facts that supported your tabloid headline sound-bite styled opinions by asking a series of straightforward questions. I am calm, the tone of my post was calm, the questions were calm. Discussion? There is no discussion...

Don't you mean you inferred something that I neither stated nor implied? And yet other countries manage to run a budget surplus and still provide the best living conditions the human race has ever experienced. I know I can't but it doesn't stop me from being unhappy that my children will be...

Compared to the major aspects of our lives, you seem to be very charged up about a few relatively trivial matters. What are all these restrictions/red tape that are affecting our farms and fisheries policies? How are farmers and fishing people being affected? How many people are being affected...

I'm not bemoaning the quality of life that we experience in this country, I'm decrying the way in which the ever increasing burden of paying for it has been bequethed to our children.

You're right, London is a financial powerhouse, the jewel in our crown and, with an economy the size of Sweden, we're heavily dependent on it's economy and success. You're also right to point out that Brexit will not result in immediate wholesale losses. The real danger though is a slow...

Wasn't 43 years of EU membership enough of a long term indicator?

In which ways did the EU legislate, compel, enforce, demand, instruct, advise, suggest, imply, casually refer to or merely hint at an increased British debt burden? Was it included in the Single European Act? The Maastricht Treaty? Amsterdam? Treaty of Lisbon? If it wasn't in any of the formal...

The decision to run up that level of debt was made by successive British governments and was completely under our control and had nothing whatsoever to do with the EU; that's my point.

If you equate lampooning outmoded, inequitable establishment figures & institutions with racism then there is really very little more to be said.

Recognising irony (and pretty blatant at that) not your strong suit then eh bushy? (or is that fredbinney). Look on it as a parody of little England and a preparation for the break up of "britain" love.

I get your drift... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/surgeons-remove-18-inch-yucca-7705845

Ah but don't you see that's completely different. Although the House of Lords is a motley assemblage of people either with hereditary titles or by dint of previous Prime Ministers' patronage, they are English unelected peers and the Queen and her family are English (well, admittedly quite a bit...

Thank you Harold Macmillan. http://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/uk_national_debt_chart.html UK National debt to reach over £1.5 trillion (that's £1,500,000,000,000) by the end of the year. Big fan of the never never are you?

I'm going to give it one more go before I lose the will to live! The following sequence is all you need to know, whatever The Merry Prankster wrote is immaterial. i.e. PP had assumed the downturn happened post referendum I posted a link demonstrating that it started prior to the referendum...

What? Do you think they made it up? They were reporting facts from the Markit construction managers index and comments made by IHS Global Insight, not indulging in some Remain/Leave propaganda. Sakes, If Peter Farrelly knew about you you'd be world famous and we'd all have laughed our socks...

Fearsomely tenacious extrapolation on your part but yes, yes, the underlying message in the BBC report is that the whole shooting match is totally kaput.

Keep up at the back please!

OK. How about your sympathy for their employees? Or those involved in commercial construction? Or civil engineering? Or specialist construction activities? Or those involved in services such as architectural & quantity surveying activities? Or the wholesale of construction materials? Or the...

Hmm, glib or crass; which is more apt for your idiom?
