You are so grossly out of touch with reality. You could easily class me as a selfish old fart but I am a remainer as are my friends who are also the selfish old farts and remainers (one who also died last year, he was ex-army and a strong remainer).
I have worked in 14 EU countries all of which had either English as the working language or at least English as a second language. Even if a business is not international, they often choose to work in English to avoid local conflicts in multi-language countries. Eg, Belgium and Switzerland. Many other small businesses are quite happy to communicate English to their workers. The only country that excluded me from contracting with them due to not knowing the local language is Wales. A welsh council stipulated that the IT staff must be welsh speakers.Last edited by Paddy; 25 August 2019, 10:40."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

What’s established is that large Constitutional changes require more than simple majority, 2/3 is sensible normComment
