Only aware of Ferguson who wanted a leg-over and whose star was falling from his cataclysmic predictions looking dodgy-again- & Calderwood who Sturgeon fought tooth and nail to preserve.
You seem totally incapable of nuance.
You banged on for months the only mandated Brexit excluded no deal, now you're dancing on the head of a pin about Cummings. On both occasions you give succour to people who would do the Tories & Brexit harm. Why? Let go the concrete thinking.

Why not a strategic supply of dialysis machines-which may run out before ventilators btw. Why not ECMO machines? Airvo's? Why not warehouses full of incredibly expensive gear tying up billions which, AS FAR AS WE CAN REASONABLY ANTICIPATE, would quite likely never be needed and found to be unserviceable when called upon? And legions of staff trained to use it all but who aren't just needed right now? You going to pay that bill?

You've no inkling how out of touch you are, do you? Pop over to Cambridge Police twitter account-where all the REAL policing is done nowadays don'cha know-& read the responses to this. 1.8k so far, uniformly excoriating about how bloody useless the police are. Looks like the wrath of the public has already found its target.

Accept and awere all of that. Just clumsily trying to suggest most of us don,'t feel we have enough insight to comment in depth & apportion blame accross the globe or to assume responsibility for it-Iraq should've cured our zeal to fix the world.
We have a better appreciation of our own back yard & wit attitudinal surveys showing significant levels of support amongst UK Muslims-our own neighbours- for all sorts "unprogressive" policies, regarding Jews, gays, Sharia etc. wariness doesn't seem unreasonable.
Listen Maajid Nawaz after pc Palmer, the number people phoning to criticise him for accepting there is a problem in the UK Muslim community was scary, one even suggested he was an apostate with all that implies.

Wasn't aware Catholics, Spanish, Cypriot, Maltese IIN THE UK were blowing up tweeny concerts, stabbing & running over people & seeking special privileged status to exempt from the laws the rest of us have to adhere to. Missed that somehow.

Don't like to be uncharitable at Xmas but you,'ve set the tone.
You sound like you're going to end up like one of those Japanese holdouts fighting WW2 decades after it's ended.
They were deranged rather than dedicated, and ultimately used as a tourist attraction.
Can we come round your place in years ahead to wonder at the funny man who can't let go a dead cause, a warning to us all about hubris.

Hmmm...I know that's the common claim regarding Hitler but the real issue is surely the intimidation and rigged ballot that went on.
An election under those circumstances would likely produce same result.
Venezuela seems to produce dictators with an allegedly open electoral system.
It's the use of underhand tactics not the vehicle-ref or election- that matters.
Exactly the same applies re your Napoleon example.
Those conditions describe the limited franchise and intimidation of England in 18C
There's a reason UK eventually accepted Chartist demands of secret ballot & extended franchise.

Postal voting Postal voting Postal voting Postal voting .....repeat ad nauseum. Glad most above have got it.
2% ballot in NI using sensible criteria
~20% in RUK with Blair's wooly extend the franchise drivel
Even in bad lawless 70's where cheating was widespread (& on both sides though SF worst culprit) Postal vote in NI Sinn Fein areas wasn't over 15%-should be food for thought.
And for the idiots whining that people don't all have driving licences read the sodding article or don't comment

If it's standard practice you can furnish us with the myriad examples when it's happened before. Go on then.

No, I really didn't, I voted to leave that's all..
Why have you vested so much in characterising leaving with a clean break as having no mandate? It's possibly the purest expression of leaving, and as you recognised yourself the only one available now which does.
