    Is that a Brexit fact?

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        don't confuse them with facts!
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              I think the 80% refers to Irish road freight exports to mainland Europe, not to all exports.

                I think the people getting confused with facts are those not knowing the difference between "transported through" and "sold to", but standard Brexit argument, once it's clear you've been called outlet hen try to twist the argument and claim everyone else is stupid.

                  It's also the difference between a denominator of all exports vs road freight arriving in mainland Europe.

                  But hey, a figure like 80% is enough of a fact for a Brexiteer. Any more detail would be confusing them with too much fact.

                      They lost me when they started referencing experts. Have they not been paying attention?

                      But it really is like something out of Minitrue.
