When it comes to important things, I tend to listen to experts who know what they're talking about.

When I have a tooth that hurts, I consult a dentist. Not have a show of hands down the pub as to what they think the problem is.
When I have a pain in my knee, I consult a doctor. I don't ask the advice of the homeless chap who lives behind the Co-op up the road.
When I need some financial advice, I talk to a financial adviser. I don't turn to the stranger in the seat next to me at the Amex and ask what he thinks.

So when it comes to issues like supply chains, imports, businesses and the like, I listen to the people who understand what is going on. Not people like Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson.

How do they know what's going to happen , lots of speculation is all I hear So are you saying you had to be an expert to vote properly in the Referendum sounds a bit elitist

More guff about alternatives to the backstop from Gove today whilst given ZERO specifics. They don’t want a deal.

We didn't vote for a deal just remember no deal is better than a bad deal

I think it's a useful distinction - there are definitely both types on here

And then there's the third 'type', the likes of Ppf.

Say your benefits get sanctioned ,do you know exactly what will happen? You’ll have a pretty good idea though won’t you? If I lost my job next week, I would not know exactly what would happen but I reckon I’d be facing lean times, I’d be looking for work, might not know exactly when I’ll find it but I know I need to get one.
Well, economists, financiers, international traders, doctors, lawyers and other experts have a pretty good idea what is likely to happen if we crash out with no deal.
You’re an idiot.

Look, much as you love to wallow in your blind ignorance and dogma, please just try for one second, to try to understand one simple truth.

Around half of the population of the UK (nobody knows exactly what % currently) do not agree with you that leaving the EU is a good thing. As such, they are not inclined to just merrily 'give it a go', 'roll up their sleeves', or just cross their fingers and hope for the best. IF it eventually happens, well THEN we will have no option but to make the best of the situation, but until such time as the deed is actually done, we're absolutely entitled to take every available legal opportunity to argue or fight against it.

He doesn’t care or want to understand. He just enjoys baiting us.
Mouldy is now joining in the same ‘sport’.

The best thing we can all do is ignore them, me included, as they’ll never answer questions or post anything remotely sensible.

Wasting yours and the country's time, its time to move on, no point in being in Denial its what the refetendum result asked for , i'm sorry you can't have everything you want your own way but you have to swallow your pride sometimes and move on in life? it's not the end of the world as some gloomsters would have you believe, I voted leave and EXPECT my vote to be enacted not devalued by sore losers

Tough luck. You don't get to tell the grown ups how to think, I'm afraid.

If you know this then the health secretary will know it too. Are you really saying that there is a risk that Britain's insulin dependent diabetics won't have their meds, that some govt dept will wake up on 1/11 and say, `christ we didn't think about that'.

It's disgusting that people can peddle this crap and more disturbing actually believe it

Trolls sometimes have an element of wit about them, this 'thing' has zero saving graces at all.

Oh well.

The thing is, I place more importance on the nation's social and financial well-being, and the future opportunities afforded to my two sons, than I do in aligning my thinking with the gammon army, to prevent all you broflakes getting upset about DeMokrAsy.

So if you found yourself with difficulty breathing and having severe chest pains, would you call an ambulance or say "**** the experts, I'll ask my neighbour what he thinks"?

Yeah much better to trust the opinion of the likes of you and Ian Holloway. I expect you've done a lot of independent research and arrived at your conclusions based on logic and fact, so your opinion is definitely good enough for me.

Tbh, if he was my neighbour, I'd pretend to be out.

If it wasn't so laughable (in a bad way), it would be funny.
