But for the avoidance of doubt there were experts on both sides and so-called experts and 'experts' in abundance too. I thought there were more dodgy 'experts' trotted out on the Remain side (probably because of the vested interests they tend to have) but that is nothing whatsoever to do with whether I favoured Remain or Leave - just my view.


But to suggest (as you seem to) that I've taken a view against certain 'experts' because they were in favour of the Remain camp just underlines the fact that you have not read my post properly - had you done so it would have been pretty clear I voted to remain, otherwise I would not have said "I'm disappointed about the vote result"!

no, it's not.

Define vested interest (V) amounts as follows:


RSCE - remain so-called experts V

LSCE - leave so-called experts V

RE - remain experts V

LE - leave experts V

R - remain opinion holders in general V

L - leave opinion holders in general V


Are you saying:

RSCE > LSCE

RE > LE

R > L


...or something else?

Sorry but that's complete nonsense! Your time would have been better spent reading my clear and simple wording than writing all that guff!


To save you scrolling up - I said "I thought there were more dodgy 'experts' trotted out on the Remain side (probably because of the vested interests they tend to have).


What part of that sentence don't you understand? You ask "who is 'they'?" Seriously?

Many champagne socialists of the Corbynite camp use the Co-op....

I think the Archbishop of Canterbury summed it up when he said the poor suffer under mass immigration.

And the poor may also be poorly educated and unable to hold their own in this debate- which is dominated by the verbosity of the hysterical middle-classes, who, in the main, branded them racist- completely out of hand.

No. But then I'm pleased to say that in the real world neither do I come across people that deliberately try to pick an argument by setting up false constructs or by asking fatuous questions designed merely to provoke a response or to make a bad point.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
