    I do clearly understand no one wholly blamed it on Brexit.
    This is a massive breakthrough. A CUK cretin has realised he's made a comprehension error. There is hope yet.

    On that basis, I'm afraid I have to opt for - no, it wasn't clear that you understood. Thank-you for clarifying.

    Get your causal relationships roght, man. His poor grades at school and his current lack of critical thinking skills are likely to be effects of his cretinism.

    Wouldn't bet on it. Like several on here, he fell out of the stupid tree and hit all the branches on the way down.

    Ah. Let me help you there, highlighting a couple of key words.

    Thomas Cook just went bust thanks (partly) to Brexit

    But if it saves you a few quid on comfort blankets to blame it all on Brexit then fill your boots. It is impossible for you to look any denser anyway.

    I'm not so sure. I think on a matter of such import, MPs might defy the whip if it were enforced. And JC is the one party leader I might see allowing a free vote (obviously SNP and LD will block-vote)
