Re: Brexit

'Evidence' haha

Seems to me that evidence on here . . by both sides of the argument . . often comes down to a link to a (biased? ) social media/Blog site , a polling site (skewed, not big enough sample), random articles thrown out in gay abandon by the media, articles by Professors and Experts (in the field of furthering their career), excerpts from Political (sometimes 'leaked' ) documents (who trusts politicians? ) and press releases by large (foreign owned) companies making threats and demands.

Many of the above contain the words could, may, might, possibly, potentially etc etc . . . which (to me) is the equivalent meaning of that well known phrase 'up to'

We're all being led a merry dance, nobody is right, nobody is wrong, the only 'evidence' we can trust is that which we see and hear ourselves . . which is in itself classed as 'hearsay' and inadmissible as evidence anyway

Every argument has a counter argument, we believe what we want to believe, and the real truth often hides in the silent void of the unspoken.

. . carry on while I pour another
