Of course, you may well be right about the value of an apology. In relation to apology, I have always held dear a remark by P G Wodehouse, “It is a good rule in life never to apologise. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them”. So let’s just move on.

Glad to hear that you have a ‘policy’, are there some other sections and clauses that we should be aware of?

As I said, I am fully aware that Brexit is a reality. The bumps in the road are already here and it looks like it’s going to become much bumpier for many years to come.

The idea that those that warned against Brexit must now get on board is less inviting. Let’s just say that your neighbour comes over one day and says he is going to shoot himself in the leg. You carefully go over the negatives that this action is likely to bring. Despite your best efforts, he goes ahead with the shooting. As he finds that his mobility is now restricted and that his medical bills are significant you mention to him that you said it was a poor idea. His reaction is, why are you always so negative, you need to get behind my great leg shooting project.

I think we have been over the immigration brings crime idea in quite some depth. Global studies over decades have shown that the reverses is true. When you were presented with such studies you dismissed them as unreliable or biased. It’s pretty clear that you would not be persuaded by a thousand such papers.

Not an accurate analogy. Britain is not wounded, it merely has to adapt to new circumstances.

I do find it amusing how Remainers try to paint our EU membership as some sort of great success. It wasn't. Moreover, our ability to make democratic decisions for ourselves was only going to decrease.

You are right about the studies. I would not be persuaded any more than you were by my genetic maps and crime figures related to ethnicity and time.
The only difference is that mine were factual and yours were deductions made by people with the usual prejudice.

If what people say is no consequence to you? Then why do you keep replying.

(Although you still haven't explained your credentials in genetics)

I like to amuse myself by playing with people like you.

Free Trilby for everyone.

I really don't understand what that word means. Can you explain please as I'm not that clever tbh. Svengali a bit but the meph.... nope not a clue I'm afraid.

I think we can all picture the chilling image of Hrolf, the Svengali of the HoL, casually toying with us for his own Mephistophelian pleasure.

Aah and is it linked to celtic or Latin as I see so many words on here which I don't know their meaning.

It comes from German folklore - the name is from Hebrew.

There you go again.

You are gifted with understanding and insight others don't have

Your common theme is that disagreement with you implies an inferior intellect, ability to comprehend etc.

You also have the ability to see into the future based on your predictions of post Brexit problems.

Disagreement and debate are healthy but does require two sides prepared to be swayed which for the FBPE brigade is impossible. I would be quite prepared to be swayed if it could be demonstrated to me why EU membership represents good value and is in the national interest.

You will doubtless have read ( or foreseen ) that the EU army is now actively being put into motion by Germany and France which would be a return deal breaker for many.
