Oh yes you did...... Even using the skewed measure method you used for your Brexit statement Hillary Clinton secured more votes than Donald Trump. Electoral colleges are another unfair voting system designed to stop proper democracy.....

Imagine a large part of that was securing California which has 55 ECV's, over a fifth of the overall required target of 270.

Either way I'm sure Donald won't be worrying about that once he's behind the oval office desk on Jan 20th. <doh>
 
Lee Harvey Oswald style, if it was going to happen then Obama wouldn't have lasted 4 years let alone 8 in a country that is so historically racist. <ok>

Trump wont follow the FBI and protection service advice and will provide more opportunities. Can't believe he isn't putting his business interests into a blind trust... Sooner or late there is going to be a conflict of interest. I wonder when he is going to bring all the Trump enterprises jobs back to the USA instead of taking advantage of Latino employment.

They'd better get in before the wall goes up then!! <laugh>

I really do not care what the Government has promised Nissan. They employ 6,700 people, that is 6,700 people paying taxes and NI contributions. That is 6,700 people possibly not having to claim welfare. If Nissan receive a tax break to remain in the UK I call it good business.

The same as all the fuss over Amazon a year or two back and how much tax they paid or didn't pay. They employ directly in excess of 9,000 people, add to this the delivery drivers or Royal Mail delivering their products, the haulage firms delivering to Amazon, the fuel being brought in UK stations, the Amazon sellers making an honest living selling via the site and the tax the government receives from these employed people not to mention the £11.9m Amazon still paid in tax, if Amazon receive a tax break or incentive I don't give two hoots, them being in the UK brings far more to us than them not being here.
Surely its not unreasonable to expect multinationals and tax dodgers to pay taxes that are due?. Its no excuse for them to say their employees pay tax.No one wants anyone to pay more tax than is due.

Exactly! The moment they start losing money, they'll be out of here. They care not a jot for this country - only for the money they can take off it. If they were required to pay tax like all other companies, would they quit the country & say tata to multi-millions of profit? I think not.

For those who need a lesson in accepting defeat, the Democratic party today took one hell of a beating when they were 1/8 on to win big time. They have accepted eefeat gracefully without wanting a 2nd election

Au contraire, there will be another election in less than 4 years time. If Trumps policy free demagoguery does not translate into tangible results, he'll be out.

By contrast, 'Out for Ever' seems to be the attitude of the wafer thin majority that voted Leave.

Not sure the Hilary voters have accepted this weeks result, even then, judging from the demonstrations in many cities in the US.

I become more convinced with each passing day that these right wing bile spouting Brexiteers walk round with their eyes shut and minds closed. I struggle to believe (despite all the evidence to the contrary) that they are as fecking clueless as they are coming across, they must be pretending?

As usual you make my point very well and taking your numbers as accurate.

What is 50%+1 of 34,582,866.
About 17,291,434 isnt it?
Is that more or less than 15,188,466?
You know very well that you're playing on words. Using your methodology, it would have taken many millions more votes for the Remainers to win. So there was absolutely no mandate to remain. End of.

Wasnt a play on words i was just pointing out that Ristac was wrong. Not as wrong as he was about Trump but wrong none the less.
We were already in so the positive affirmation should have been from those who wanted to leave.

I wasn't wrong though, the majority voted out.

You choose to read or spin it however you like, fact is we voted, everyone had a chance to vote, those that did overwhelmingly voted out, you just don't accept it because you didn't get it the way you wanted it to go.

Another fact is the pressure was on employees to vote remain, government were campaigning remain, had it been a less pressurised and fairer vote the leave would have been an even larger margin.

You're not moaning about the share price now are you ;)
 
It’s official: economy doing fine after Brexit

It is the fact of the day, a nugget of information that will delight Brexiteers and reassure corporate Britain. The Office for National Statistics believes that output in the dominant services sector rose 0.4pc month-on-month and 2.9pc year-on-year in July.

Several economists have now upgraded their third quarter GDP estimates to 0.4pc, twice the Bank of England’s prediction.

Why get personal?

The guy writing the article obviously means since the vote, maybe it isn't I who is thick if they do not see that? The headline isn't mine, it is the Telegraph's, go moan to them if you don't understand it.

How many times in the last 3 years have you predicted Leeds will be relegated?

How many times have you predicted a coach sacking before a date and it has not happened?

Didn't you predict we will never vote leave?

Didn't you say Trump hasn't a chance of being president?

Can you even remember the doom and gloom predictions you have made since the vote that have not materialised?

Has Leeds60 hacked your account? ;)
