    You are right of course. As someone who lives in the North I don't relish the prospect of a re-run of the 2016 decision being out to the people a second time.

    Just wish someone would end all of this- this is just going to extend the whole thing and the real damage is being done by the uncertainty. I genuinely believe we will still be going through this in 5 years time.

    Tends to be those driven towards capitalism, those who are happy to put money and personal success over ethics, morality and the benefit of others. Yeah Trump

    No, he has a political profile on the right, Yorkie. That’s not what you asked.

    Pro-Brexit media
    Outright climate science denial has a rapidly shrinking platform in the UK’s mainstream press. However, many of the Tufton Street organisations pushing to cut environmental protection continue to argue for market deregulation in the media — and the authors often don’t declare their connections to organisations in the network.

    Perhaps the most prominent journalist still peddling climate science denial in the mainstream press is David Rose, who writes for the Mail on Sunday.

    Rose regularly publishes articles casting doubt on mainstream climate science about which the press regulator IPSO often subsequently requires the paper to issue corrections. He has previously described the GWPF as “friends”.

    Dominic Lawson, son of GWPF founder Nigel Lawson, also regularly publishes anti-environmental columns in the Mail on Sunday.

    The Sunday Telegraph’s columnist Liam Halligan is a member of Tufton Street’s Economists for Free Trade (EFT) — and has written columns suggesting a ‘no deal’ Brexit is nothing to fear (the EFT’s position) without declaring his affiliation.

    Roger Bootle, founder of Capital Economics and also a member of the EFT, is another Telegraph columnist described by the paper as “one of the City’s leading economists”. Bootle’s short biography on the Telegraph’s website does not disclose his affiliation with the pro-Brexit group. Boris Johnson is also a well-paid columnist for the Telegraph.

    The Times continues to employ GWPF advisor Matt Ridley as a columnist. Ridley remains one of the most prominent climate science denial voices in the mainstream media after Telegraph columnist Christopher Booker retired earlier this year.

    Not here because I trust in science, as it's a universal consensus among the scientific community that man made climate change is upon us, that's good enough for me.
