I hope you have some evidence to back up that assertion.

Yes, I agree

Yes, I agree

Glad to see you’ve hastily removed your accusation that I am a racist.

How about this from the Electoral Commission?

You work in a university Jason. Do you really need me to point out how the research doesn't include any evidence of fraud, but only of possible vulnerabilities, which stem not just from familial and spiritual networks but external factors, and that these are not necessarily limited to Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities?

Well, if you talk in terms of one specific race of people behaving in a dubious way at election time then I think that's a racist comment. But I deleted the post only because I saw Jason had posted
something regarding a paper from Manchester University relevant to the topic and I wanted to red it first.

Genuine question. What negotiations does Nigel want to join?

The suggestion is to renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement previously agreed by our sitting Government and the European Union.

Our Nige present at the table would put the fear of god into them; 'backstop' would immediately be redacted from the document, Nige and the ERG's 'alternative arrangements' would be put in its place, a watertight solution to an intractable problem. Simples.

Nah, just google a couple of key words relating to the subject, copy the link and post it on here without reading the content. That's the Exeweb way for political discussions.

....and having read Jason’s link, what is your conclusion?

So stop Brexit and go back to the negotiation table

Steady on, that makes too much sense.

You've forgotten that the people's 'will' has to be exercised first, people just want to 'get on with it', or else it's a 'betrayal'.
