Have you ever considered a career in motivational speaking TUX?

Hmmmm misanthropist would imply I hate humanity, funny that since I put my own life at risk to help protect humanity and democracy.

I'm not an Ex anything (apart from school scallywag) I still serve my queen and country and all that entails, I admittedly am not to keen on you, mainly down to your petulant one sided view of the world, that I can't help thinking has been formed from musings of others in the common room or nick gussets links to the more left of center websites he frequents

However I have never met you and you may well be an awesome chap with very level headed values ...truth is I don't know, but as others have pointed out you don't give off that general impression, and come across as some sort of modern day reactionary parody of Rick from the young ones.

You are of course entitled to your opinions as am I, just don't automatically think somone is less entitled to their opinion just because it's not the same as your own.

Now off to bed, your new David Walliams won't read itself.

What if EU parliament refuses they are entitled to.

I am not keen on you either Danny, especially if you read David Walliams books but confess that i am indeed an 'awesome chap', so we'd probably get along just fine. I am an ex (20 odd years ago) pro rugby league player (Hull & Ldn Broncos) so like many servicemen i am sometimes inclined to let the confrontational side of my nature get in the way of my professionalism wrt my postings on the HOL...but thank you for the compliment that i am like a student. I have since ploughed my trade as an economist/fund manager although during brexit we were pilloried for our views as the country 'had enough of experts'. But i dont mind people having different views, i just want to point out that it wasnt a 'fear' campaign but very much real risks which will pan out over the next 7 years economically, politically, constitutionally, socially etc. Whilst this makes little or no sense to me i accept its what people wanted and voted for, press the article 50 button now cos the uncertainty is very damaging, but i struggle to find a single positive outcome. We will agree to differ professionally.

I think you meant 'plied' rather than 'ploughed', trade-wise.
