Encouraging news over Brexit.

Whatever your political persuasion, defend your corner here. All we ask is that you voice YOUR opinion, rather than just post a link to a half-hour youtube video. Politics can get a bit lively, and if you prefer a less combative debate, please post in the Politics for Moderates section instead.

Re: Encouraging news over Brexit.

Post by Mrblobby »

The two sides resume face-to-face talks for the first time in three months in Brussels on Monday as they attempt to thrash out a trade deal and an agreement on the future relationship after Brexit. This will be the first of five consecutive week-long negotiations between the UK and European Union, with the meetings in the Belgian capital followed by immediate talks in London the following week. Britain wants a deal in principle to be agreed by the end of next month, and be signed off by all 27 EU member states before the end of the transition period on December 31, 2020.

Note Tuesday 30th June is the last date to ask for an extension.

As far as I am aware, it has never been proved that badgers infect cattle with TB.............unless you know otherwise.

Maybe you should make yourself aware before posting faulty dogma

But the results suggested that badgers are 10.4 times more likely to spread TB to cattle than vice versa.

Lead researcher Professor Rowland Kao of the University of Edinburgh said it was now “very clear” that badgers were involved in the transmission of TB to cattle.

In October, peer-reviewed, scientific evidence highlighted the effectiveness of badger culling in reducing outbreaks of bovine TB in cattle.

I knew it :lol:

Firstly I did state 'as far as I am aware' how is that dogmatic, or even faulty ? Your quote "results suggest", means nothing, anyone can suggest anything, it doesn't make it fact.

Then 'if I made myself aware before posting', just think how bored you would be, no-one to have a go at. :o

Empathy or sympathy don't appear to be in your repertoire, do they Alan?
What's happening to those people is affecting thousands and if healthcare collapses it will affect tens of thousands but heh ho, you're ok

You have no idea about me or what I think or feel, so let's cut the bullshit eh. You like to dish out the criticism but cannot bear it when someone bites back.

Firstly, I was completely sober, don't judge others by your own standards and behaviour. Secondly, rattled, by you? Oh please, don't flatter yourself! As to apologies, if that were the case most of you comments would consist of apologising.

You seem you are devoid of humour ... unable to debate properly and just a miserable old man - my ‘drivel’ happens to be truth that you’re right-wing ideology won’t accept as it’s criticism of mistakes that you refuse to see ...

Haha, oh please, you call members of the Government "twats" is that your idea of debating? Now that is truly laughable.

I don't have any ideology, apart from rebutting the constant stream of drivel from left wingers.

By the way, I'm not old and as those who know me will tell you, far from miserable. Facts really aren't your strong point are they? :mrgreen:
