I remember still the conversation my guidance teacher had with me midway through high-school. 'Consider your time here as if taking the car to the petrol station. The more you fill it up the further you'll go' Never have I forgotten those words.
Now I drive a fancy German car. Dam think drinks like a fish."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

A 40 year old bloke who has never travelled, worked in a dull brain-dead job in his local town all his life and never read a book is not likely to have more worthwhile experience than many 25 year olds who have done more.Hard Brexit now!

The leave vote was equivalent to changing the wheels on a car when the engine was broken. In fact the strongest leave vote was in areas with very little migration.
An example is Manchester that votes remain, lot of immigrants, and Wigan strongly leave, virtually no immigrants. That pattern is repeated all over the country. The strain on the NHS in Wigan is caused by a huge increase in the number of old people.Last edited by BlasterBates; 6 February 2017, 11:23.I'm alright JackComment

Levers voted the way the did to give the establishment a kick in the teeth. You don't even need an education to understand that.Last edited by scooterscot; 6 February 2017, 11:40."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
