I've had a brilliant idea for cutting the NHS budget in half. Those who have had enough of experts can be de-registered and treat themselves at home using common sense and old copies of the Daily Mail.
 
No problem. But if you know it is going to affect you so quickly that would mean you new you had a vested business interest in staying in before the vote. So your views have been anything but impartial. Although granted you never said they were.
So basically that would mean your argument was for a trade off of all the things that the majority of people held dear, against what you personally new you would forfeit if we came out.

Sorry, don't even know how to begin answering that. Please see bonusmedia's post.
 
I appreciate this is difficult for you to fathom but quite a lot of people are more concerned with the direction their country is heading in over their personal economic considerations. It is actually possible to put aside immediate financial concerns and be reasonably objective. For example, most scientists are more concerned with science than they are with getting rich. Most professors are more concerned with education than they are with getting rich.

I was well hedged and did well out of Brexit, at least in GBP - though those pounds are now worth a lot less. I'd quite happily give it back in an instant to remain.
The first bit is evident by the fact that so many voted leave.
Not so evident that it was mostly the rich that voted to remain.
Which bit of that can you not fathom.
I think before the science and the academics comes funding not getting rich.
where that funding comes from will naturally direct the politics.

Why stop there? We can free up school places too by encouraging them to learn trigonometry at home using nothing more than patriotism and "having faith in the British public".

Oh this is going to be Take Back Control at its finest.

Now come on, that's a bit below the belt, you know I read the Daily Mail.

It might be worth a try.

Correction. The rich may have mostly voted remain, but that isn't the same as saying it was mostly the rich that voted remain. This is a subtle but crucial distinction to recognise.

As an analogy, not all people voting Leave were dumbass racists - but most of the dumbass racists would have voted Leave.

We can do away with judges and lawyers and just lynch people who seem a bit shifty, like the good old days

Doesn't alter the fact that most of the rich voted remain. Must be the first time ever the dumbass racists got one over on the rich .
Hey if anyone wanted to blame anyone about the leave vote. They should blame the very rich like Richard Branson, Tony Blair, Bob Gobdoff. They really alienated the ordinary people of England. And the one who really lost it for them was Eddie Izzard whose intentions were good, but so far removed from reality.

anyway yes, I accept the grammatical mistake.

Have you got any evidence for this? We know that rural areas voted leave and we know that older people voted leave. I'd suggest that older people in rural areas are generally richer than younger people in urban areas.

Plenty of rich dumbass racists out there too
 
Just wondering if anyone has any views on the merits of us celebrating an independence day with a bank holiday annually. June 23 would mean more times than not the weather would be good for street parties etc.

You're suggesting we have a day to celebrate the most divisive event in the UK in living memory? Possibly since the civil war? Perhaps that might be seen by some as just a tad tasteless. But then you're a Katie Hopkins fan, so obviously you don't give a flying &^%*about taste, decency or tact.
