It doesn't matter that no one mentioned lorries were going to intersect my path when I made my decision, the important thing is I do not let relevant current information which was not available at the time I decided to cross the rooad which might validly affect what I am trying to do change my mind.
Excellent approach to life.

Terrible pessimistic analogy.
People cross the road every day and many many people, make it to the other side, there is no lorry coming, no impending doom, no risk to injury. I call it successful optimism; I plan to cross the road, check for risks, no risks, I then cross, I am now on the other side. Positive outcome & Success.

Dr Philips the MP who resigned earlier in the week over the meaningful vote in parliament row (or what I call Remainers trying to stop Brexit with the meaningful vote),
his Constituency (Of which over 50% voted leave) has sent nearly 100 letters of complaint... The chair of Dr Philip Lee's local Conservative Association told Sky News, he's had nearly 100 letters & emails complaining about his decision to resign and only one in favour.

Seems like the suggestion of giving the NHS the funds we give to EU Membership is going to go ahead after all...
