Read today that 46% of the British public are in favour of banning burkinis, with young people mostly against a ban (sensible) and more people in favour of a ban as you go up the age groups (stupid).

Personally I'd make them a legal requirement for anyone over 25% body fat, which is a far more offensive sight than a woman wearing a tent.

I don't understand why people would want to ban them?
 
Later in the article it does indicate the the pound is still down by 9% and the 1% rise is mainly due to increased exports due to the weak pound. Did you read past the headline?

I did, why so much doom and gloom and why do you like to talk the UK down?
Some good news and you toss it aside, just what you expect from a snowflake.

Have you payed the remainers for its legal costs to try and stop Brexit yet?

It's not good or bad news. Pound is now same against the dollar as it was a week ago.
Each piece of information will move the currency one way or the other but I'll wait for something sustainable before trying to look for more than just minor shifts in the 1.30 to 1.35 range the pound has been at for the past 2 months.
 
You keep saying I established it, but me posting your quote seems to dispute that.

I posted the misinformation from the remain camp earlier, and mentioned it again in one or two other posts.

The only claim demolished is yours, and you keep on helping prove my claim that some remainers on here will just keep telling us leave voters why we really made the decision we did, despite any evidence to the contrary.

I mention project fear, because that was the name given to the information you remain voters seem to lay such heavy store by. I read it, as I read the other stuff. I treat it for what it was, but considered it in case it changed my views. It didn't. My considered reasons for voting were the same as I outlined earlier, and that you pompously keep trying to dismiss.
Your posting my quote doesn't dispute it at all, as I've already pointed out that you'd made the claim eight posts earlier.
I've already told you this. I'm not sure how I can make it any clearer.

Pick one piece of misinformation. How hard is it to do that? Why are you trying to dodge doing this?

Project Fear was part of the Leave campaign's attempt to stop criticism without responding to it.
You've clearly bought into it and demonstrated that perfectly here.
Not influenced by them? You're eating out of their palm.
 
I was not influenced by it <ok>
Hull DMD claimed the same and then made it utterly obvious that he was wrong.

I've never stated that all Leave voters were influenced by that campaign, anyway.
Attempts to claim that nobody was are just ludicrous, though.
 
You failed to come back with any details of their credentials, therefore it was a huge swerve.

The irony of your second paragraph is seemingly lost on, as 'your people' doesn't make you an expert either you clueless bell end.
It also maybe didn't occur to you that my other half being heavily involved in EU funding for over a decade, might have resulted in us discussing it at length on many occasions. In addition, when comments like yours pop up, I ask her opinion.....

Do you have your own stapler with your initials in tippex?

<laugh > Is that really all you'very got? Seriously? <laugh>

Have a word with your future ex, and see if all grant terms are the same. If you claim she says they are, it will further confirm that you're simply a bullshiter. <ok>

As one example, research grants differ in themselves dependent on various bits. Farming subsidies differ again.

A bit of a clue is given on the EU grant website.

"How does one request a grant?

Since grants cover a very diverse range of fields, the specific conditions that need to be fulfilled vary from one field to another. It is therefore important to consult carefully the rules of each grant programme. "

Knowing about it, isn't buying into it, or you'd be admitting to the self and same thing. <doh>

I posted one piece of information earlier, amidst the pictures I posted. Some sad sacks seemed desperate to latch on to the web host Google image search brought up, presumably as a way of avoiding the actual point.

It's funny as **** on here, watching a few of you numpties desperately blowing smoke up each others arses at anything that chucks schoolyard abuse at people making points that show you're not as bright or informed as you think.

As I said earlier, thank **** that people thinking like that didn't win the referendum. <ok>

You're using their terminology for the opinions of experts, which was exactly what they were trying to achieve.
Project Fear was utter nonsense and an avoidance tactic, but you bought it completely, which loads of your posts have demonstrated.

What was it? Why can't you just answer the bloody question?

"All that I've seen from Leave voters has been nonsense, frankly. They've been duped by a bunch of ultra-rich arseholes."

I'm not the one claiming nobody was, I'm simply pointing out the flaw in your ridiculous claim that they all were.

I have answered, you just keep ignoring it and telling me what you reckon I really think. <laugh>

A lot of people voted leave because they were sick of clueless, pompous arse holes doing precisely that. <ok>

We were talking about businesses applying for grants, not research or farming subsidies i.e. SME's applying for ERDF funding, you know nothing bullshitter.

I see Google was the extent of your 'knowledge', and 'your people' obviously reside in the internet. No wonder you didn't want to share their credentials.

Even the quote that you've picked doesn't that they all were! <laugh>
"All that I've seen" doesn't equal "everyone that voted Leave", does it?
As I've already pointed out, you'd already claimed that it hadn't influenced anyone.

You keep saying that you've given examples and then refusing to pick one, for some reason.
Just pick one out. It's not hard, is it? Stop going off on a tangent and pretending to be a victim.
