    E) Stronger negotiating position in a club of 500 million people than when you're just 60 million.

    Would it make sense for Ohio and Michigan to go off on their own, as opposed to remaining in the US?

    Indeed. It's only recently that I became aware of his predilection for testament tapping.

    That's not remotely true.

    Totally is.

    At the extremes you've got hard Brexit and increased integration with Europe.

    Which were the things on the ballot.

    There's a vast swathe of middle ground, including a soft Brexit and the position taken by most Remain campaigners (remaining in, but fighting tightening integration and securing opt-outs).

    Which weren't on the ballot.

    The idea that Fallon promising *the British people* a vote on the final Brexit terms is somehow ignoring their will is a transparent lie.

    If you buy a toaster and it's shite, you can take it back for refund within X days.

    This is slightly more important than a toaster IMHO.

    I looked up binding in the dictionary. It didn't say "adj - bloody inconvenient & embarrassing for us if we don't do it".

    We're currently just too sentimental about Sterling (even as we march towards a cashless economy and it becomes mostly moot)

    WTF are you on about? Cashless doesn't mean unitless. Do you know anything about economics?

    Their stance on Brexit utterly fails to respect the British people

    ANY stance on Brexit fails to respect 50+/-2% of the British people.

    The referendum wasn't binding. As I understand it they can't be - parliament is sovereign.

    United Ireland? Not very likely. Here's the maths:
    650 MPs. 7 Shit Fails never turn up so that makes 643.
    Thus a working majority is 322, rounding up. Tories have 318. The DUP's 10 can keep Maggie II on the throne for a couple of years, assuming typical attrition rates.

    I'll say it again - if the system was changed so that -1 mods counted for less when there also +1 mods, it would really help.

    Typical leftist, wanting to give out prizes for participating. And who will pay for these +mods? The taxpayer, that's who.

    They've got two speeches mixed up. That bit's from one about what she intends to do to some animals when she wins.

    It's interesting to note that anti-terror legislation has been aimed at animal rights & other groups of dirty scruffy hippies before. Some of them are a bit crazy, but the IRA they ain't.
