Yes I nearly made that T may observation replying to you JL5. Her weak ideology very nearly derailed our country for good, we have a 2nd bite at the cherry now. I'm buoyed by the parliamentary process and we have some good politicians who I hope can hold Boris to account.
I'm always very suspicious of anyone who goes to church.

Witless comments
At times it felt like watching an English tourist with no Spanish ask directions from a Spaniard with no English. About halfway through, Chris Clarkson (Con, Heywood & Middleton) asked the scientists to tell him the rate of false positives (that is, when people who don’t have Covid none the less test positive for it). Here’s a sample sentence from Professor Whitty’s reply.
“The point I’d make as an epidemiologist,̶1; he said, “is that the key metric is actually not the sensitivity of specificity, although that’s important, it’s the positive and negative predictive value, which varies by prevalence at a point in time, and those will become more accurate as the prevalence rates go up, so that the risk of a false positive is higher when the rates are actually lower.”

Levelling the accusation of narrow mindedness is really an admission that you've failed to convince someone.

Biden is on his way to his retirement home. What a joy seen Hillary Biden again...lol

[chucko1] 04/11/2020 19:03

Nevertheless, from a considered Leaver, praise the Lord Biden seems to be on his way.

Makes me few friends here, but do I give a damn?

Jl5006, I cannot understand your point.

Strike 3?

The Problem trying to negotiate with a block like the EU is your left jumping through hoops to accommodate everyones different priorities. There is no room for open mindedness anymore as it leads to capitulation and a slow erosion of National Identity. What's called for now is a large helping of bloody mindedness.

[chucko1] 04/11/2020 18:51

Jl5006, it's clear to which post I am referring. I cannot understand your point.

[jl5006] 04/11/2020 18:51

Tricky
I thought - I must be wrong - that open minded was unprejudiced - and willing to consider new ideas?
M2 unprejudiced?

"Just a warning: you don't seem aware of the many and varied viewpoints leaning towards a new, non-EU direction for the UK."

"Many and varied" which are often just copied and repeated soundbites that don't hold to any scrutiny: Sovereignty, freedom, democracy etc.. etc..

What is your wonderful and varied viewpoint? Let's discuss.

"From a constituency of decent and reasonable and extremely well-educated folk."

Have you seen the demographics for a typical Brexit voter?

"Who have one, and only one thing in common (apart from the education side) - they don't typically shoot their mouths off."

Oh, you mean like Nigel, Francois and Boris?

"That's why the centre of gravity of opinion seems to take people like you (those insufficiently open-minded) by surprise."

I'm never surprised at how many morons and idiots I share the UK cesspit with.

Let's look at the Express tonight.

Headline. "If Biden wins UK will suffer badly - and it will be entirely because of REMAINERS".

Their capitals - get the blame game running..........Lol

chucko, quite the comedian.

If you believe that open mindedness is the true mark of an intellectual then on this thread you will find more tightly closed views than a flight of vestal virgins.
So, by your definition the majority on this thread are a grey cell short of an intellect.

At least you have got something right.

ROFLMAO

[utrickytrees] 04/11/2020 18:32

Being open mindedz an absolute contradiction if you think about it.

I am open-minded when presented with reasonable argument. When you do that I'll reconsider my values as to how open-minded I will be with respect to a certain issue.

[chucko1] 04/11/2020 18:23

I find M2 funny. Laugh a minute (or at least each post of his).

M2, in response to 857, you need to be more open-minded about the degree of lack of open-mindedness you exhibit.

[minerve 2] 04/11/2020 18:21

That Brexit was a bad idea?
That Boris is a bad PM?
That Trump is a bad POTUS?

LOL!
