Yes you are.

You are wrong

I'm a messenger nothing more.

Oh?

To whom did the subjective opinion of the B&B hosts belong?

To whom belongs the 'definitive explanation of reasoning behind the result' ?

To whom was this true of - "It really did enforce..." ?

Go on....this should be fun.

Firstly, no i'm not a sock-puppet.

Yes you are.

Secondly, fishermen/women have genuine concerns - you appear to have swept them under the rug. It does also appear from your post, that you're labelling your B&B hosts as ill-informed purely due to fishing rights. A tad assumptive/arrogant/uncaring..

Assguru you're such a twerp.

It is one example not a definitive explanation of reasoning behind the result.

Finally, there are no nationwide surveys that have interviewed more than ~2k-50k people (AFAIK, please link me otherwise) - so there is no truly credible explanation possible for anyone to make, other than an extrapolation, based upon a small selection survey - in which, the questions asked can also be biased.

[scooterscot]

So by using 1 small business as anecdotal evidence (even though many fishing people have genuine concerns), you extrapolated your subjective judgement (that they were ill-informed) to an entire ~52% of people that voted leave?

We drove through Skye last year ourselves (in German plates no less - Servus! Said the other German at the petrol station - not German!) - single track roads were indeed overcrowded, but mostly from abroad, not other Brits.

A number of roads were developed in places. 'EU initiative award something or other' for this new section of nice wide A class road. A little later the B&B hosts we stayed at were Brexit voters, fishing rights were what pushed them to leavers. But they acknowledged the only development of the roads locally were funded from the EU. There was no fish on the menu. It really did enforce how ill informed people were leading up to the referendum.

Right, so one (crofters) road at the cost of £2.5M vs the rest of the island which was finished years ahead and without the 'financial problems'. Oddly they didn't report that?

[scooterscot]

It's even got it own Tescos now, should improve matters no end. The roads were done 5+ years ago, after the bridge was put in. All HA money IIRC. The EU roads are the single track with passing places that the locals use to avoid the main roads.

Apparently not.

they acknowledged the only development of the roads locally were funded from the EU with money that WE had sent there.

ftfy

It really did in-force how ill informed people were leading up to the referendum.

aye, - they west coast midges'll make short work o' yer pale embra arse

Just cause posh tastes sweeter.

[TestMangler]

Looks pretty free to me. What with there being nobody there. I suppose, if the place is littered with those giant granite butt plugs, that's a perfectly reasonable excuse to avoid the place.

Those Syrian refugees who ended up on Bute were on the One Show on friday night btw. They'd even cleaned up the vomit outside the Esplanade for the occasion, and found a day when it wasn't raining to film them. Must have cost 5000 licence fees worth of overtime to arrange that combination.

There was no vomit outside the Esplanade when they filmed it. You didn't come up this year, remember ?
