    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I just took a sample of 1 and have concluded that all people living in Winchester are CCFC supporters. Take that as an indicator if you wish; I don't.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Mart, that's not correct. The bag is Northern Ireland. Don't mean to be rude but I'm calling superior knowledge on this one as someone who studied statistics to degree level as part of a maths degree. Believe what you want but a 'so called expert' is saying that this survey is flawed and you...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    And it's not the source I'm questioning Tony - the question is bad and the sample size is so small as to make the results irrelevent. I know a little about surveys from my degree. Let me try to explain. 1) If you want to draw conclusions you need to ensure that your question is clear, has no...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'd be very surprised if it were correct. Historically only about 20% of people wanted to leave the UK. However if there is a majority now then I'd support them leaving.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It's OK, I've answered my own question: "On 25 March 2010, Independent News & Media sold the newspaper to Russian oligarchAlexander Lebedev for a nominal £1 fee and £9.25m over the next 10 months" Bit of a misnomer calling itself the Independent doncha think?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    "More than 2,000 people in Northern Ireland were asked whether they would vote to join a united Ireland or to stay in the UK "in the context of a hard Brexit... leaving the EU with no deal on the border, the Good Friday Agreement or citizens' rights". Misleading headline - it's a bad survey...

    I love the first one. Certainty is a sure sign of ignorance IMO. Do people here know about the Dunning Kruger experiment? It turns out that intelligence and ability are inversely proportional to certainty and confidence.

    Mart, I didn't even know what Breitbart was until you started going on about it. It's rather disingenuous of you to keep namechecking it.

    Oh, OK. Well I'll be the first then to say that I don't like Muslim terrorists. I like most of them though - the ones that don't kill people... the ones who, for example, might want to take a German citizenship test.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm pretty happy with where we have landed so far (I think... reserve the right to change my mind if more information becomes available). If we are to have open borders between NI and Eire I cannot see a more palatable solution than the one we have reached. Logically, if we have regulatory...
