    The contribution of a number of pensioners is a drop in the ocean to the bailout I was actually referring to.
    Yes it helps him & AssSnob understand if they see something they are familiar with.

      That would be 1.7m contracts so one third of Spain's unemployed figure. They are of course not claiming benefit so are officially employed. As staff get scarcer I expect the zero hour contracts to fall.

      As you may notice we are in the middle of negotiations to decide our future, if the EU get their way we will pay just as much but get no access. That has scared a few people investing.

      All this advanced thinking i probably making your head hurt, off you go to listen to the EU anthem.

        Sorry if its too much for you bremainers.
        Which one is it? 18.75% or 18 million people?
        Clue: The population of Spain is 47 million.
        18.75% of 47 million isn't 18 million.

        Sorry if it's too much for the alt-reicht to comprehend basic mathematics.

        I've had enough of your fake news and twisted stories. How about getting the basics right before lecturing others?

        The actual figure for Spanish unemployment is around 4.26 million, not 18 million. You're only out by a factor of 4. Given that you've then repeated your error in a future post saying that 1.7 is 1/9th of 4.26, I'd suggest you might want to do a quick fact check or edit your posts, so they don't make you look stupid/incompetent.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          I'd suggest he carries on as he is. It is all part of what makes Brexit such fun to watch.

            18.75% so 4 and a bit our percentage. Down from 10 times according to your figures.

            Sorry I misread a figure while doing something else.

            even with the lower figures your assertions look like desperation.

            as I said a percentage of tulip is tulip. And Spain is in the Tulip.

              I see you have now edited a post to say that 1.7 is 1/3 of 4.26, and you say I'm the one clutching at straws.
              1.7 is 1/3 of 5.1 or 1/9 of 15.3
              1.7 is 2/5 of 4.26

              So, one of you is useless at maths and the other was "being sarcastic" when he said that no money would be sent from the UK to Spain.
              Both of you were wrong, or to put it another way, full of tulip. Doesn't matter how you try to spin your argument, ignore facts or edit your posts, your posts are full of tulip.

              Next you'll be saying that the £350million a week to the NHS pledge was out by a factor of 4 as well.

                  well its much more than double as I said they aren't claiming unemployment benefit so they aren't part of the figures.

                    Congratulations. You've done the impossible and made Diane Abbott look like a genius in comparison to you.
                    You and Mordac make the characters in Dumb and Dumber look like Bohr and Einstein.


                    That's the problem with democracy - if a nation has bred too many idiots, it doesn't work. We're at that tipping point now.
                    Hard Brexit now!

                      Representative democracy has safeguards against cretinism. There are too many barriers against cretins constituting a majority of MPs. The problem is referenda. There are enough cretins in the UK that if they vote largely as a bloc in a referendum, it just takes a relatively smaller number of non-cretin racists, ideologues and assorted nutjobs to tip them over the 50% mark.
