Wayne
How dare you Sir! I will have you know my armchair is currently miles away so challenging you from there is positively difficult. I do wish you would try and get your facts right.

Immigration
A news item from today which will be swept up within all the other things going on at present and hence forgotten within a day or two:
Home Office slammed as report highlights failure to remove EU criminals | UK | News | Daily Express

That item reminded me of the death of Alice Gross in 2014:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Alice_Gross
Her assumed murderer hanged himself so we will never know - but he was a convicted murderer from Latvia who could enter the UK because he had served his sentence in that country for his earlier killing.

The case of Alice Gross resonants with me because it was a strong contributary factor to the decision of one of my relatives to leave West London.

I am not sure what this refers to but, hey, it wouldn't be the end of the world - it wouldn't even change the price of fish on the market tomorrow.

You're dead right. Who would really care. But I like to get insight to everyone's opinions. And why they think that way. Even if I don't agree with them I still respect their opinion and their right to have it.
This thread has been a wealth of information and entertainment but if it turns into some bitch fight then I'd rather not lower the tone of the Hubb anymore than usual and delete it before a moderator is forced to.

The price of fish may actually be a useful discussion point. No EU means international law, so we can sink Spanish boats off Dover, but they can sink ours off Cadiz. The price would fall if we eat more New Zealand Hoki than North Sea cod, but there would be pressure to let our boats out to hunt down every last shrimp and damn the fact that once they are gone they are gone.

I hope we'd have the sense to politely keep it all at sustainable levels, but I think Boris and Dave have mates who'd sell you the last fish in the sea frozen and in orange bread crumbs

Still think we can do our own mirror fishing and agriculture policies like the EU but efficient so not like the EU.

I haven't seen anything like a bitch fight in this pub, even on a Friday night.

I can Lonerider lol, apologies if my sarcasm was lost on you

I just find the wide range of conspiracies a bit bewildering but intriguing at the same time. It's like some people are trying to outgun each other with their insightful knowledge, none of which can be proven to be true yet they hang on to it for fear of a grim death.

Those are the folk who reaffirm my belief that it really is a load of bollox

Statistically significant?
This is post #900 of this thread, Should Britian leave the EU? I have noted that many recent posts are not addressing the topic, but addressing each other - in comradship or in the alternative.

If one cares to hear some facts that are statistically significant, please visit or revisit post #880 of this thread - one day ago.... Click on the link- watch and learn.... and be amazed at the intelligence of these two gentlemen.

While I might not agree with each of the conclusions of
Paul Joseph Watson and Stefan Molyneux - one British and one Irish, they do base their arguments on statistically significant facts.

Here, here, "you just gotta love the British"
