His ability to present opinion as fact and subsequently ridicule himself is absolutely first class.

If you put him on Question Time as a panellist, the audience would think he was a spoofer put forward by the Remain campaign to make Leavers look stupid.

Another massive fiscal benefit to our economy from Brexit

A halving of corporation tax to the suggested 10% level would cost us about £25BN a year.

What a saving we're going to make <doh>

TBH, IF it's actually paid, we may not lose that much. But, that's a big if, of course.

During the EU referendum, the BBC adopted special editorial guidelines which required strict even-handed treatment of the Leave and Remain cases.

News-watch has now completed a rigorous academic survey which shows conclusively that these guidelines were effectively ignored. There was heavy bias towards the Remain side in BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat, a flagship news programme which reaches millions of the under 30s.

A summary of the findings is below and the full report is here. The key points include that audiences were 1.5 times more likely to hear Remain opinions and speakers, alleged ‘fact checking’ by the programme which favoured the Remain side, and feature reports that were heavily skewed towards Remain arguments, especially with regard to immigration.

A disturbing implication of the survey is that – as the BBC refused to put in place rigorous bias checks – there is a high likelihood that other elements of the output were similarly skewed.

News-watch analysis found during the referendum build-up and campaign numerous examples of bias covering the flagship news and EU-related programmes on Radio 4, BBC1 and BBC2.

Migration is NOT up for discussion: David Davis vows UK WON'T compromise on border control

David Davis, the Tory Cabinet minister spearheading the drive to quit the EU, told MPs the issue of border controls will not be on the negotiating table in talks about the UK's future relationship with the bloc.

Instead, the number of EU migrants allowed into the country every year will be set by the Government according to the "national interest", he promised.

His remarks were a shattering blow to campaigners for a so-called "soft" Brexit who claim the UK should continue to abide by EU open-borders rules in return for staying a member of the bloc's Single Market.

Then he's a **** and so are you <ok>
 
Slow evening so I'll do an autonomous car update for anyone interested. Might do a Brexit food tomorrow.

1. Uber have been stopped from running their cars in San Francisco due to footage showing them running red lights. Oops! !
2. Google have formed a new company called Waymo to sell it's technology. Part of its launch involved a blind man being driven around the streets of Austin with no driver.
3. Mercedes E class becomes first production car to pass level 3 automony without modification and include car 2 car communication. The autonomous capabilities are downgraded except in test environments due to fear drivers won't pay sufficent attention.
4. 100 autonomous level 4 volvos will start operating in Gothenburg using DriveMe next year.
5. RDM are in commercial production of their Pod Zero after successful test of the Lutz pathfinder project in Milton Keynes. Currently being showcased at the Melbourne world Congress on intelligent transport systems.

I can't believe the remainers are still moaning.

Surely they should know they were wrong by now?

That's an interesting concept.

Both sides made claims that have proven to be exaggerated or untrue but that doesn't change the underlying issue as to whether you think we will be better/worse off post Brexit.

What were your specific reasons for voting leave and do you think those who persuaded you have delivered to date?
