Hammond blames Brexit for Tory election failure

[motoukenin]

It's got sod all to do with Schrodinger's Theory (which was always either bollocks or drug induced anyway). If the UK backs down now, the "punishment" for showing dissent could well be more catastrophic than any short-term consequence of Brexit could ever have been. And if we end up staying as we were, we're nothing more than the EU's second biggest cashpoint machine. I will take a "softer" Brexit, but it has to be Brexit, and something we can walk away from when the cost becomes prohibitive.

Why is it that you take pride in showing what a thick, ignorant cretin you are?
Genuinely interested in the answer.

If it's not Brexit, it won't wash. If we go to the EU in sackcloth and ashes we will be properly crucified (apologies to my fellow atheists for the Biblical metaphors). That certainly won't help the pound, so it looks like you could be down £36k.

Shame.

He is already down at least £4.5k, since 5% of 30k is 1.5k, not 6k that his GF spent already

It's fierce competition for the CUK Cretin of the Year Award this year, so they're just doing their best.

Didn't say I was buying 30K of sterling, your spending far too much time coding and not enough time actually making any money, shameful.

"they're" and "their"? All sounds a bit 3rd person to me, considering you're also a prime contender!

It's hardly ignorant to conclude that the cat is always dead, either by the radiation or the poison. If it's the radiation, the cat will appear to be alive, depending on when the box is opened, as death by radiation poisoning is a more gradual process. It's pointless to theorise on cat behaviour, as Beansey has recently demonstrated.
Anyway, to summarise, introducing Schrodinger's Theory into the Brexit discussion is utterly cretinous (to borrow your term).
I take pride in very little, pride is a bit too much of a subjective concept, but that's probably a discussion for another thread (or day).
I'm actually quite chuffed that you think I'm a "thick, ignorant cretin" because that's how you seem to describe anyone who doesn't share your views, particularly about the EU. Are you scared you might be wrong?

We know that's not true.

There is already a clear winner. Its just second place to be decided.

No, fair point; cretin-status is more of an "unattainable aspiration" in your case, love.
