  1. Obviously.
    However it does not prevent me sending you a fake bill, that matches your trail.
    If my bill comes first, you probably think the real bill is the fake one.

    Referendums are very different animals with legal consequences just the same as elections.
    An opinion poll does not turn into a referendum, just by sticking the label "referendum" on it.
    Most European countries, and that especially includes UK, has no referendums in the sense as you describe them.

    I don't understand your critics about the movie.
    There is no anti vaccination propaganda in the movie. Only a few true experts pointing out problems. And such problems indeed should be tackled as we know about them since 20 years, e.g. giving multiple vaccines at the same time to toddlers!

    No, it is not.
    It is just more relevant for air flow etc. ...

    Barometric you can perhaps measure your altitude close to 100m precision (hint: you need to know the pressure on ground, and you don't know that one), GPS can measure your altitude close to a few cm, and needs no further information to do that.

    I thought Scotland was conquered in some point in history, just like North Ireland, or for that matter: Wales. What has that to do with any constitution?

    I think there would be strong support now to stay in a strong trading group with other European nations. Unfortunately the EU doesn't want to offer that, instead demanding political control too.
    The EU has nothing to offer.
    Your PM Mrs. May is making the offers.
    So far she failed to make an agreeable offer.

    FTFY

    That is exactly the point. Most immigrants in the UK are from the comonwealth, people who have super easy immigration rules.

    Honestly, my first visit to the UK was quite antique, too. I was on a sailing boat.

    When I have finished my sailing education I would like to sail to Scotland ... from mainland Europe :D ... to Islay most likely to buy some Whisky.

    I hope they don't kill me when I try to leave my ship.

    It is a difference if you do a legally binding vote where every one knows the consequences or if it is a glorified opinion poll where people express their unhappiness about something unrelated to the poll.

    public vote is not a bloody facebook like button and "we were idiots" is not an excuse.
    In UK (and most of europe) it is not more than a like button. There is nothing binding in an "public opinion poll", or why exactly do you think the parliament is in charge and does its own thing?

    Total vote was 55 to 45 to leave.
    It was more 50.5% - 49.5% ... and the leavers were 50% people who just voted "despite" and never thought they would win. Bottom line the BREXITERs are not even 25% of the voters.

  17. As far i know, sending unsolicited bills for unsolicited services to businesses is totally legal, at least in my part of the world.
    I hope I don't live in your part of the word.

  18. Showing that they don't have functional accountants is a public service that should be rewarded and not punished.
    How should an accountant know if a bill is legitimate or not?
    That guy is doing fraud ... no matter how much sympathy you have for his "business model".
