    By the way, this is such a pathetic argument. What you are in effect saying is that the U.K. doesn’t give a stuff about the people of Catalan and would rather keep quiet in order to further it’s own economic interests.

    That’s not the Britain I know, but it is the one that Brexit seems to have pushed certain people towards.
    It is for similar reasons, why we (the UK) are relatively silent on Saudi Arabia - due to arms sales.....

    If you're upset with that, I suggest you form a new political party

        Indeed..................
        Indeed ... a referendum based on lies.

        The option was always

        1) A Norway, Canada style agreement or/

        2) Crash out

        The populace were told Brexit would be an easy process and we'd get the best deal ever in no time at all. 2 years later and we're on the brink of crashing out and those with the least today will lose the most post Brexit.

        I'm all for no deal, it's what the voting public deserve. A few hard years will maybe make people reflect how good we had it in Europe. Whether we ever vote to go back in, or remain stubborn and once again become the poor man of Europe (or more likely, the 51st state of the US and Trump's bitch) will remain to be seen.

        In the meantime, I'll increase my property portfolio and look to take early retirement and live off the income. Watching from the sidelines could be fun

          Maybe in the La La Land that you inhabit, but in the UK we were never told any such thing.

          But why let reality and fact get in the way of your distorted world view eh?

            Or, in the real world these are the promises made during the campaign (dates and who made the promises all listed) ..... linky

            But don't let the truth get in the way of your ignorance.

            Be interested to know which of these promises that you think are being delivered on.

            Edit: I expect you to come back with some bedwetting comment rather than answer the question as usual.

                He may have been in the presence of rioters and protestors. Your use of the word “other” would imply that you think he was part of the group.

                If someone is selling newspapers, is he an “other rioter” or someone doing his job?

                      Dress it up however you desire. I'm glad you agree it is a thoroughly stupid question.

                      Someone doing his job (although walking away isn't selling newspapers), hence why your example and question were incredibly stupid, and not an apt analogy.
