Don't worry yourself. Breath not being held :D

Commonsense suggests that if this theory was true, it would be headline news.

Common sense suggests it is just someone's opinion in a blog post or are we not allowed to have opinions any more?

Is that an actual answer, Andrew? If so, please interpret, we would I'm sure will be very grateful.

There seems to be much point-making yet so litfle substance to some of the posts on this thread!

Yes, it's an actual answer. I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it for you but I'm up for the challenge. ;)
If the commentator's theory was correct that we had already left the EU, it would be headline news. The fact that it hasn't strongly suggests that it is incorrect.
Indicating if a theory is likely to be correct or incorrect and why may not be perceived by you as having any substance to it, but I'm happy to disagree with you on this. ;)

It’s an opinion, not a fact (no matter what some people think, they’re not equivalent) ;)

Neither the Daily Express nor the Daily Telegraph have said we have left the EU, so we haven’t.

More to the point, Boris hasn’t said so either. Btw, pity there is no candidate called “none of the above”.

Agreed on both counts. :tu:

BTW there were other candidates but they didn't make it through the selection process.

They would have been on my none-of-the-above list too.

I understand your point, but John is rock solid with his feet firmly on the ground. He is wise and an excellent Conservative.

Not a very good answer, though Andrew. It's not made headline news, so on that basis it must be wrong.

However, I should state at this point that I am not under any illusion that we really are out of the EU yet, despite the poor drafting by the EU. My post #595 was for amusement only.
