A 'soft' Brexit now looks like the most likely outcome.

We could end up with most of the downside of EU membership but without representation.

So many mistakes have been made along the way. Cameron should have fought harder and longer with the EU for concessions on our relationship before calling the referendum. He never imagined he might lose. The possible implications of Brexit ought to have been investigated in advance.

May's decision to call a general election was madness. She should have been consulting with a cross-party group on Brexit throughout but she doesn't know how to collaborate. The outline of a plan — and a set of red lines — ought to have been worked out within Parliament before Article 50 was triggered not 24 hours before the deadline.

She has already agreed to go once stage one of Brexit is complete. Then the real negotiation begins.

I can hear the sound of liberal tards necks breaking as they hang themselves

This is a classic example of what is wrong with political debate.

Previously stupid people had no access to information because they were too lazy &/or thick to read scientific data. Now they are only a click away from a headline, a few pictures and a gang of commenters who also don't understand the information, but who are determined not to let that stop them displaying their ignorance.

Somebody who accepts the fact that humans are having an effect on the earth's climate does not deserve to be insulted by somebody who doesn't understand the article they are citing.

when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.

that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.

i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.

I do think there is a problem with tribalism on both ends of the spectrum.

There is lack of willingness on the part of some to genuinely try to understand people who they view as being on 'the other team'. It is by no means unique to this forum.

having a long time PIMO friend in the WT Treasury Dept helps

Does your friend have a view on whether or not the organisation has chronic financial problems?

Is it accurate to connect the sale of kingdom halls to an ongoing shortfall in income?
