At the risk of the usual attacks, I'll reply to the above.

I'll quote the pertinent parts of what what my reply was directed at:
"...So nobody disagrees..."

"...Nobody can really point..."

"...Nobody trusts..."

"...Nobody can answer..."

"...The NHS £350m a week line was a lie..."

So the person comes out with what may be termed definitive statements. He is speaking for every single person in in the UK? Really, Bruce? You swallow that without question?

As for the old chestnut of the NHS and £350 million, you know full well that I have explained many times in this thread that it was an equivalent figure, and neither the Remain nor Leave campaign had any executive power to implement anything. That is the remit of the Government of the day.

Hence my single sentence response...

I'm not sure I really get the yardstick that you use, as nothing speaks for every single person in the UK, not academic studies, industry groups, political parties and certainly not the referendum. It seems an impossible, therefore surely pointless yardstick with which to measure the validity of any statement?

Exactly, Bruce. That's why I have highlighted the absurdity of the other poster making such sweeping statements...

No, Bruce. We cannot foretell the future. I know what I'll be doing next week-end, for example, but I haven't a clue how it will turn out...

And you will use weather forecasts to plan your day, maybe train or bus timetables or event schedules. You'll use reviews of venues to foretell what kind of place it is, you may even have reviews of your own performances so punters can do likewise. These are all things we use to predict the future, not with certainty, but with the best forecasting we have available. Your approach seems to be because forecasts aren't perfect, we should not use them whatsoever, and discount anyone that dares do so.

Nah, Bruce. Half of it I know - been diong it for decades. The other half, it's called a map. Maps have been in existence for centuries. No forecasting at all...

Wide of the mark as usual, Bruce.

Quit trying to arsehole me, eh, Bruce...

It is probally we leave the Norway way instead for two years instead of two year consultation period that was muted by Nicholas Solmes Tory backbencher it's a far cheaper way to do it as one we leave on the 31rst of March - we are then in a better certain position to work on the deal of final as we will be out and negotiations may be easier than uncertainty for businesses..?
