Am I easily led? Not sure. I run my own small company and employ a couple of staff. Not sure who leads me. My customers probably.
Am I a typical low level IT worker? Not sure. I quit contracting 3 years ago because I had reached the stage where I was earning more from my product sales than a contract. I have created several products and developed a SAAS offering. Last year I sold my software into approximately 40 different countries. Before BREXIT I only employed a single person but because I charge for my product in dollars and pay the staff in sterling I've been able to expand.
Have I shown myself to be a pedantic "Jobs Worth"? Mmmmm. Let's think about that one. No I have not. You cannot conclude anything about my attitude to work from my post. But I do work hard and if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
What I did show, and what most people "got", was that you cannot liken paying an exit fee for "BREXIT" to buying a round of drinks. In a similar way as you cannot portray it as a divorce. The whole post was tongue-in-cheek. Again most people who read it would have understood that.
As to the UK reneging on its commitments I am fairly sure that the UK will not. It is not something the UK does on a regular basis.
I expect the "Exit Fee" to be hotly negotiated. There will be things contained within it that it is only right that the UK pays towards. That's not really a contentious issue. There will be items where the EU tries it on.
I think your personal attack on me shows that you are just another bitter toss-pot, who is only concerned about his own personal situation and hasn't given any thought as to why "Leave" won. Wants to brush every "Leaver" as either ignorant, stupid or racist or preferably all three. I fall into none of those categories.Comment

It took you an hour to build and that my friend, was your finest hour! You real tough SAAS guy.Comment

Only British judges should rule on British laws except if the judges rule that parliament has to pass an Act on Article 50 or anything else we don't like as then we will look at the background of the judges and insult them for being gay, ex-Olympic competitors, having business interests etc etc."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
