The Mighty Thor Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Sunday's full of stories of a 'very british coup' if Maybot loses her vote on Tuesday. I hope not as everything 'very British' generally suggests a ealing comedy type farce of biblical proportions followed by a less than desirable outcome for everyone.

I can’t imagine any group stands for homeless, people starving, child abuse etc. Might stand against it but for it?!?!? However, where was allegedly being handed out? The yellow vest marches yesterday were anti austerity and organised by the ‘far left’. I’ll be honest when I seen them marching and interviewed I thought just a bunch of angry people with not a lot between the ears. Bouyed by their own sense of superiority and singular belief they’re right (actually left) and everyone else being wrong and ergo evil. The yellow vests outside Westminster are a bunch brexit nutter brought together by the ‘far right’ I’ll be honest when I saw them on tv i thought what a bunch of angry obnoxious people with not a lot between the ears. Buoyed by their own sense of superiority and singular belief they’re right and everyone else is wrong and ergo evil. I generally find anyone indulging in yellow vesting in the uk, in the main, to be a worrying character for a variety of reasons. Im just trying to figure out which yellow vest group this actually pertains to, I assumed the ‘far right bunch’. However, that list is pretty similar to the what the ‘left wing’ march was about according to the crowds!!! Jusr seems the policy is throw some things into a pot and complain about them in angry manner, irrespective of being far left or far right. They all seem to have one thing in common a lack of intelligence or thought and a lot of anger. It's not parody. Clearly they meant that they were against the majority of the things on the list. They're just too stupid to realise that that is not what their little leaflet says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post and excellent example of why you don't base opinions on single sets of data, and even when there are multiple sets of data, you take care before drawing conclusions. The whole "correlation is not causation" thing. Isolating out education from salary has probably been done, although I couldn't find a definitive answer in a brief Google search. But salary negatively correlated with likelihood to vote leave, just like education did--it was just not nearly as tidy of a plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily if we leave with no deal there are huge opportunities for the country. May's deal ties us into the EU for as long as they decide so has to be rejected imo. Labour is just as split as the Conservatives btw which is beginning to show with some of their MP's going against the politburo and voting for May's deal. Since Leave won it's been handled appallingly from Cameron running for the hills the morning after to a remainer leading the leave negotiations.
