All that Remoaners have us just that. Predictions.

Now unless you can provide EVIDENCE based on the last time a country left the EU. All you have, is exactly what I have.

An OPINION.

As for wanting evidence if you got your head out of your arse and took a look around you would find loads of it.
If you took your head out of your arse and actually read this thread. You see me time and time again telling Remoaners THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE. It's THEY claiming THEY have EVIDENCE!!

NOT ME.

Do you understand?

It's Remoaners that are mis-using words NOT ME.

Understand you perfectly. You have a refusal to accept as evidence anything anyone has provided, if it is not inline with your way of thinking.
And your insistance on dismising this in favour of asking for proof and calling it evidence.

Hope you get your sight back soon.

For crying out loud.

Remoaners are calling it EVIDENCE. Not me.

Are you pretending you don't understand?

There can be neither PROOF nor EVIDENCE that brexit will have a negative impact on the uk.

We have not left yet.

Can I point to the following as EVIDENCE or PROOF that brexit will have a POSITIVE impact on the uk?


EU asset managers are actually considering moving to the UK because of Brexit.

EU fund managers are up in arms over EU rules which would force them to trade dual-listed shares on uncompetitive EU exchanges after Brexit if the Commission refuse to give them access to London after Brexit. The German Investment Funds Association said that “without equivalence granted to UK trading venues, we see the real possibility of EU27 fund managers locating operations in the future in the UK”. 

Foreign investment being at record levels.

Real wages outstripping inflation.

Record levels of employment

No I cannot. It's not EVIDENCE.

I only have an OPINION. Based on what may turn out to be short term or reversible business decisions and events.

Look you are using evidence conclusivly.
"Can I point to the following as EVIDENCE or PROOF that brexit will have a POSITIVE impact on the uk. "
The answer to that question is no. But EVIDENCE is NOT conclusive.

The answer is YES.

But I think you know this and like playing a game :)

My experience, EU staff can have a great impact on the shape/content of a lot of our laws.
They don't decide whether those laws pass or not. What greater influence do they have on EU laws than Tory staffers on UK laws?

It's just another bullshit argument against the EU. Arguing against something that happens in the EU government as bad when that exact same thing happens in the UK government with absolutely no objection.

Massive difference. EU staff are comparable to UK senior civil servants.

No comparison to political party staff.

I'm not stating this as "argument against the EU."

1 Quote a post where I say I have evidence re brexit.

For those that are interested, Ringo is right on EU asset managers moving to UK.

But, please guys, all of you, remainers just as much as leavers, let's drop this zero sum argument about "evidence.",

It's no better than "my Dad is bigger than your Dad" arguments that used to go on in primary school.

Bit patronising...but hey ho.

The main debate has been about evidence to support an opinion. If you agree with Wrongo on that then you are as deluded as him.

If EU asset managers are moving to UK directly in anticipation of Brexit then that could be classified as evidence to support an opinion...opinion on what yet i’m unsure.

If people have provided evidence of companies that have got rid of jobs in anticipation of Brexit then that is also evidence to support their opinion that Brexit might not be good for jobs in the UK.

Whether in years to come their will be a net gain or loss in jobs, the economy or many other metrics nobody knows.

In truth it’s an argument I doubt anybody will ever be able to prove from either side in the future as other factors in the world economy are likely to cloud most things - and the UK will have moved on to bickering about something else.

This is what I've been saying all along.

You can point to events that are the basis of an OPINION that brexit will have a negative impact on the uk.

But in themselves are not EVIDENCE that brexit will have a negative impact on the uk.

Either side pointing to what may turn out to be short term or reversible business decisions or events are being premature.

Throughout this thread and the whole post referendum debate I have never claimed I have evidence.

Just an opinion.

We have not left yet. And we have neither the privilege of perspective that the passage of time gives. Nor do we have the benefit of HINDSIGHT.

1 I'm only asking posters to provide what THEY claimed to have. So far none have. Just short term or reversible business decisions or events.

2. No. Because Brexiteers claiming it was EVIDENCE would be wrong. They'd only have an opinion that could well be proven wrong, given the passage of time. Calling it evidence would have proved to be just as premature as Remoaners pointing to short term negativity.

We have not left let.

No country previously has.

Yawn...Yawn

It`s not what you have been saying all along.

Has anybody on this thread said they know for sure what will happen post Brexit ? If they have feel free to point it out.

They have said that you can have evidence to support an opinion about what might happen.

Whether a company decides to reverse a decision on job losses is completely irrelevant until they announce they are going to do it. Right now if the only action they have taken is to cut jobs then that is evidence to support an opinion that Brexit might lead to a net loss in jobs. This evidence is far more credible than a set of forecasts based on assumptions and whatever else. It`s also more credible than somebody saying Brexit will have a positive impact on jobs without producing any evidence that companies have announced they will increase their workforce or have already increased their workforce in anticipation of Brexit.

I can`t believe that we are still debating this.

1.10 years to stop irreversible climate change.

2.Insects to die out in a 100 years.

3.China and India the world's biggest polluters.

4.The EU hoping to be the 4th Reich of Eurasia (Baku Europa League Final 2019).

5.An EU so corrupt and irresponsible that it would sanction Heathrow H.M. Customs and Passport Control/ Gatwick Irish Backstop (effectively)

6. As an island developed nation, we have a unique position to reverse trends, it's an easier model of civilization to comprehend than a continental land mass.

7. Brexit is THE Only chance we have of saving the planet.

8. It offers the opportunity to rationalize material production.

9. No to all trade deals and also exit the Commonwealth.

10. No more Triumph motorcycles for plastic trinkets.

11. We are in a very dangerous position as a species because we live in the Age of Conceit. The agri-peasant nihilists from Asia compound the problem, anti-materialist philosophies and religion etc.

You been to see the trial judge and ask him to sentence somebody for murder based on a witness statement which was added to form the BODY OF EVIDENCE. 
BEFORE THE MURDER ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE YET?
The trial scenario was just to show an expert OPINION can also be EVIDENCE regardless of if it effects the matters of the past or future.

Lets take a future scenario Sainsburys and ASDA want to merge. The competition commission must weight up the projected DATA and may consult expert OPINIONS to create a BODY OF EVIDENCE to rule on a matter which would take place in the FUTURE.

Straw man Diversion. The point was that expert OPINION can be EVIDENCE.

The world is full of firsts, this doesn't change the above definition. But well done on derailing the argument again with this incorrect semantic argument.

It is what I've being saying all along.

Given that the UK has not left the European Union yet, there can only be predictions, forecasts and OPINION. That it will have either a negative or positive impact on the uk.

No evidence. As Ceaseless Remoaners claim. Just OPINION

And as can be seen from the above quote you previously agreed with me!

If Carlsberg did U-turns. ......

The world is full of firsts, this doesn't change the above definition. But well done on derailing the argument again with this incorrect semantic argument.
The point is evidence can only be provided from an event that has happened.

What previous country leaving the EU? can form the basis of evidence to support an opinion?

You're trying to start the circle again and I'm not biting this time. Countless people have told you here you are wrong on this point of definition.

There is evidence Ringo will continue backing himself into a corner regarding the meaning of the word evidence onto page 40 of this thread.

You keep using Evidence as conclusive. Evidence can be wrong especially when you have proof.
It is evidence to support a theory or opinion or judgement, it doesn't mean it's right.
In the future looking back of course it can be wrong.
But that doesn't negate it today as being evidence.

I agreed with you in terms of the fact that nobody can predict the outcome post Brexit and that can only be an opinion. I have already asked you to point out who on this thread is saying anything but the fact that what happens post Brexit can only be an opinion. As usual you choose to ignore that.

Where all of us on this thread disagree with you is that an opinion can be based on evidence.

The fact that you continue to argue against that and bullsh-it that people are saying otherwise is embarrassing. I seriously think you have some kind of learning difficulties.
Oh dear , once you agreed with me. Now you've met yourself coming backwards.

As mentioned previously. If 2 people who have polar opposite stances, can have differing opinions about the same events or business that one chooses to call "EVIDENCE". Only one can ultimately be proven right. Given time, perspective and hindsight.

I have no evidence. Just an opinion that Brexit will have a positive impact on the U.K.

You only have either an opinion, forcast or prediction.

Unless that is, you'd like to provide EVIDENCE or PROOF.

As yet you've provided the square root of sod all.......


Any luck with time travel?

Is it a coincidence, do you think , that the ones saying I'm wrong are all, to a man, remain voters. And what lays behind your refusal to accept what I'm saying is the supremely arrogant belief that Remoaners have evidence while, in their lofty view, Brexiteers only have belief.

And it really grinds when it's pointed out to you.

In the I'm absolutely comfortable in knowing that both Brexiteers and Remoaners alike only have opinions.

We have not left the European Union yet. Only in years to come will we be able to provide evidence to show it had a negative or positive impact on the uk.

Till then you'll dress supposition, presupposition, presumption, premise, belief, expectation, conjecture, speculation, surmise, guess, theory, hypothesis, postulation, deduction, inference, thought, suspicion, assumptions, projections, scenarios given varying criteria, predictions, assumptions and forecasts, up as evidence.

It’s a pity he did not write a song called “lying belmtard” as that would have been perfect for you.

I agreed with you on the point that nobody is diasagreeing with you....whereas you are the only f-ucktard who is saying you cannot base an opinion on evidence.

Eh but you carry on lying - it’s clearly how you get your kicks you weirdo

So opinions can't be based on evidence is that your point? go look that up on wiki you may learn something.
Why would I need time travel to provide any evidence, I would only need it for proof?

All we have proven so far is you don't understand the concept of evidence, opinion based eveidence and unstanding proof.

I'm telling you, they can't answer questions. They can't support their arguments with facts or examples of what they accuse. It's amazing that have no problem with accusing other members of things and not have to support it with evidence or even an explanation.

They're (anti-)intellectual cowards.

I honestly wish i could see into the future knowing what will happen 100%, like some people on here I'd sure as hell would have not made any mistakes throughout the course of a lifetime. Credit where credits due it's quite a achievement.

See this **** here? This guy KNOWS no one is saying that they know what's going to happen, and yet he posts this bullshit anyway. Because he doesn't value the debate.

The best way to engage is to not engage with the person, only engage with the things they say and completely talk past them. Debunk the dumb **** they post, but don't engage them in a discussion they're not remotely interested in having in good faith.
