Surely, we advanced civilisations can make an agreement to our mutual benefit and keep our pride and friendship intact and surely here at CF we can emulate it.

So no more childish name calling then? In the spirit of this new detente, why don't you be the first to promise?
Remember, be good

I am observing Mick's advice; please feel free to offer your opinion on the PM's letter if you want to.
Incidentally, I don't think opposing views are precluded; indeed, the forum would lose its edge without them imho.

Correct, nowhere in my post did I say anything about opposing views, my request was to move the discussion away from the merits if we leave or stayed. We are beyond that debate now.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Well there are many many issues to discuss but one thing l would like is to protect EU nationals currently working and living in this country and reciprocately do the same for UK nationals in the EU and the sooner this is done the better.

May wanted that agreement done some time ago, but the EU wouldn't play ball until Article 50 was triggered.

37% of the eligible voting public perhaps
This silly girl should have read the above posts, not very helpful and besides how come she has time for this, shouldn't she be busy taking in asylum seekers

its 37% of those eligible who could be bothered to vote those who couldn't be arsed are obviously remainers and are added to the mathemagical total to remain in the EU.
its simple mathemagics or the mathemagics of the simple i forget which one .

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
It's a claim, there is no way to know which way those who chose not to vote, voted.
Therefore we do not include them.
Here is a Fact.
Leave: 51.9% (generally rounded up to 52%)
Remain: 48.1% (generally rounded down - as less than .5 to 48%)
52 +48 = 100
no 37, 69, 99 or anything else.
Fact
So please, no more claims, what-if's, shoulda-woulda-coulda's it makes you look silly & desperate.
It takes you nowhere, it leads you nowhere, at best I suppose it's a comforter for those who can't bear the fact that the unthinkable - happened. Curse those pesky kids oldsters.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Moving on....I'm interested in the mathemagics that leads the EU to believe we should pay a divorce settlement of £50bn? And despite their 'no cherrypicking' mantras they want this agreed before anything else is discussed.
No chance, sunshine. Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
That concludes negotiations because no deal is a deal.
I suggest they start teaching Russian in schools and building lots of permanent shanty camps for their new arrivals.

Best we pay in roubles then 'Course, if they'd like our assistance in defending their borders, there will be a huge bill to pay. Up front; say, £50bn for starters.

I was watching Sky news earlier and they were inferring that because the EU wanted to do it that way, that's how we would have to do it! Are they as anti Brexit as the BBC? the only thing I watch on Sky News, is the 10:30pm newspaper review. Anna Botting, who often does that is as remain as you can get.
