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

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.

I would provide an answer to this question but according to my mate Swales my posts are ludicrous and nobody takes any notice of them anyway...so there is no point

At least you brought in an expert on ludicrous posts in to validate for you 😉

[MadAmster]

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

A truant is guilty of truancy not truantry. Pedantry is the more commonly used of the two and many consider pedancy to be incorrect, consider being the key word here.

A tyrant is guilty of tyranny, English is so irregular

So would Swale be deemed a ranny sort of person?

The Brexit deal is thin, as described bySir Keir Starmer: it does not cover the 80% of our economy accounted for by services, and involves massive increases in bureaucratic form-filling for businesses from manufacturers to road hauliers and wine merchants, not to mention British citizens in general. It particularly hurts the young, who are overwhelmingly against Brexit.

Ironically it will hit hardest those voters who for some unfathomable reason turned from Labour to vote for a proven liar in Johnson, well over the next few months they will find out what Brexit means and it won't be a happy experience for them!

Its already being seen for what it is a massive shoot oneself in the foot moment by the UK.

The extreme rightwing Eurosceptic “*******s” – Sir John Major’s description – who hijacked what was once the genuine Conservative and Unionist party affect to be the disciples of Margaret Thatcher, and often cite her celebrated Bruges speech of 1988. What they fail to quote is what she said about the single market, which she did so much to create.

What she said was that the moving force behind the creation of the single market was “the aim of a Europe open to enterprise”.

“By getting rid of barriers,” she said, “by making it possible for companies to operate on a European scale, we can best compete with the US, Japan and other new economic powers.” And she meant it: her papers in the Churchill archives at Cambridge bring out her enthusiasm for the project.

Single market? Those crazed Brexit cabinet ministers had to have the single market explained to them by our former ambassador to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers, when they met after the referendum result. They didn’t even know the difference between the customs union, with its zero tariffs for intra-EU trade, and the single market, which gradually eliminated non-tariff barriers.

Meanwhile the prominent promoters of Brexit, viz. Dyson, Banks, Ratcliffe, Rees-Mogg et al move their businesses and in some cases themselves overseas, so confident are they of the "bright new future" that awaits.

As for the media that spent decades fanning the flames of Brexit and its attendant racism and xenophobia, well what do you know, the owners of the Times, Sun, Telegraph, Daily Mail also happen to be ex pat rich members of the elite, funny that isn't it?

I3 days and its already being seen for what it is a massive shoot oneself in the foot moment by the UK. What an idiot!

Says a person who has posted that a man with no scruples like Farage should be Prime Minister and then Knighted!

Don't be too hard on yourself old man, you will eventually understand whats happened I'm sure.

[Trickytreesreds]

The economic arguments are something that is a reasonable argument.
But the main issue of what the EU stands for, still gets swept aside.

It wasn't 6 years ago, that Nick Clegg called Farage a liar and said any talk of a European army, was a dangerous fantasy. In the same way as the moon landings were faked and Elvis is alive.

well what happened this week? https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...eu-flag-brexit

Another organisation, announces its first border force with it's own uniform.
So, we started with a steel and coal agreement, to an ever closer EUSSR.

Of course this conspiracy theory, is to be scoffed at and laughed. But tick tock, ever closer union, keeps creeping in.
At least the shirts are blue, and not ploughed earth coloured.
