    I guess you meant the reverse - leave voters are more likely to have greater aversion to risk. But it doesn't matter because, as expected, it is completely irrelevant.

      You said you wouldn't use the word "efficient" when describing barrier-free trade in the SM.
      You're now saying there isn't a more efficient example, but along the way, your argument has been around flinging insults and now trying to claim you are being victimised.

      If, for 30 seconds, you were able to set aside your prejudices, can you explain how the EU's barrier-free trade could be made more efficient, since, if there isn't a more efficient example currently, and you think it is inefficient, then let's hear your ideas for how to make the EU's barrier-free trade more efficient.

          Lets put this in big letters for the hard of thinking.

          If the people of the UK were given a referendum to agree on whether we want a North Korean takeover and that vote came out as yes then I would do my best to understand how that change will affect me and put in place the relevant changes to accommodate that.

          What I would not do is immediately call everyone who voted to have the North Koreans a cretin and act like a child and try and stop the change

Oh, and throw in the total failure of the Euro and the pure evil of statins for good measure.

            Brexit isn't 'change'. We're not going anywhere. It's just the destruction of where we are now.
            It is easy to tell who is scared of change - it is those that refuse to accept it is happening and prepare to adjust for the change.

            What are you so scared of?

            (that is not you personally by the way but you as in the remainers.)

                No. Your point was about change and resistance to change. I was pointing out that not all change is good.

                The fact that you wouldn't call people who voted to be taken over by North Korea a cretin is sadly unsurprising.

                  It's hard to express just how much of a useful idiot you really are.

                  Historians constantly question why normal German people were sucked into accepting fascism in the 1930s. You would have been wilfully complicit.

                    You shouldn't be scared of change. The Daily Mail embraced it.

                      "Seamless" was, and is, I feel a more appropriate adjective. Your piles giving you gip or what?
