OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

[ramAnag]

Setting aside political disagreement for one moment, MOP has a point. If honours are given for affecting change and getting things done, then Farage deserves recognition, like it or not.

If Lewis Hamilton can become "Sir" for driving a car round and round quickly, and latterly, having achieved such fame, clinging on to the coat tails of BLM, then Farage should be elevated to the Upper House.

Safe place for him and, as it stands, one where his influence can be restricted thus appeasing remainder objections

‘If honours are given for affecting change and getting things done’, then I’d suggest others from Dominic Cummings to Gerry Adams would be considered equally ‘worthy’ of recognition though it’s doubtful many would approve.

I think the word ‘beneficial’ as a prefix to ‘change’ is probably missing from your rationale, GP.
Maybe (I obviously doubt it) some time in the future, when the UK is flourishing as one of the World’s most successful nations, we’ll be able to cry ‘God for Nigel, England and St. George’ and award him all he deserves.
In the meantime, as I said some time ago, unwise to honour the most divisive and self serving ‘man’ in the country even if the most discredited and divisive ‘man’ in the World believes him to be the ‘King of Europe’.

326K. Surely a sensible person would realise that the £ sign is the numeric key sign on the same key as the 3. Either the numeric shift wasn't pressed or it was pressed too late IMO. Point scoring on that is top class pedancy.

If you'd taken the time to read my post MA you would see that I acknowledged that typo probability at the outset, without admittedly your level of detail. It was the per annum to per month shift that was more perplexing. So no points scoring, just confusion about our most accurate of posters.

Beneficial is in the eyes of the beholder - whilst you don't see the change spurred by Farage as beneficial, there are others who do.

I suspect Gerry Adams might decline his one!

At this risk of being pedantic, it's pedantry not pedancy, or have I, in so saying, falling into your point scoring trap? 😊😊😊

Not if your GP and like sniping with nothing to add to the discussion, it makes him feel clever fair enough whatever!

Frankly I don't have the time or desire to backtrack through all your past posts to see which figure you quote in a given post is correct and whether it agrees to other ones.

You state your posts are accurate and true. In two consecutive posts you cite totally different figures.

Call me a pedant if you wish, but if you want people to believe you, try to get the figures right at least once. It now seems you meant a third different figure and neither of the previous two.

Does this mean all your other accurate and true observations are equally flawed and that we need to trawl back through 100s of posts to check?

Well I used to credit you with some intelligent thought, but clearly I was mistaken. Its a typo not a ****ing false statement, when your trying to prove a point, it might help to provide evidence where you claim I've posted something inaccurate.

Per month in one, per year in another..... That's a spectacular typo possibly including either 4 or 5 incorrect letters typed

Actually it isn’t. When one is considering the impact, beneficial or otherwise, of change upon a nation or an institution it is ultimately entirely objective.

Too early to judge yet, although the early signs are deeply concerning. If, in the years ahead, the self styled ‘architect of Brexit’ is proved right and our country prospers amongst the World leaders then MoP will have a point. If we become worse off, with greater restrictions on trade and travel, then perhaps any ‘monument’ would be better placed at Traitor’s Gate.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Yeah, I'd tend to support that argument. It will in time possibly be measurable, but for now the pros and cons are largely undemonstrable

Agreed. So let’s put all talk of ‘recognition’ for Farage on hold...after all it’s taken almost fifty five years for Jimmy Greaves to be ‘recognised’.
In the meantime I sincerely hope that Mr. Farage receives all his just deserts and everything he deserves.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Anyway we will be back in by 2035, so won't be able to tell anyway!!

Hmmm...apparently the Daily Mail expects the UK’s economy to be 35% bigger than France’s by 2035.
We’ll see...I have the same respect for the Mail as a newspaper as I do for Farage as a human being...i.e. the same as the sum total of goals scored by Derby and Leeds in this year’s FA Cup.

This is 2 week old news RA, the economists CEBR released this report towards the end of last month, obviously the Mail is either slow or re hashing old news. I read it at the time, but couldn't find enough on CEBR, to find out how 'independent' they were.

Indeed but one fact out of a number all of which can easily be verified, so pure nit picking on your part, but hey ho little things please little minds.
