NB Those graphs are misleading in that the percentage of graduates in areas with younger populations (eg inner cities) will be higher than in areas with older populations. That has nothing at all to do with relative intelligence but rather the enormous expansion in higher education in recent times meaning that so many simple-minded souls now get "degrees."

The only sheep where the ignorant, intolerant and largely racist people. Nothing to do with wealth.

I'll make you a challenge, post something "wise" that wasnt written by somone else, or a link.

Gauntlet firmly thrown,

How was "truth" substantiated and the source of the data?
Perhaps it was a figment of your imagination.who knows.

Well here is a question I bet any Brexiter can't answer.

What do think can happen on the morning of formal separation from the EU that you could not have done the day before?

(The answer is of course nothing).

I can't claim this as an original thought.

It is paraphrased from here.

Very good article that explains why that whatever people who voted to leave expected or wanted to get, they won't get any of it.

Not sure why people are so hung up on Brexit from an economic perspective. With huge business rate increases kicking in from April the government looks likely to be creating a major, self-induced recession and increased in unemployment. Ally that with the possibility of the USA being either isolationist or ripping off the UK in any trade arrangements (the latter more likely IMO) and we run the risk of going from star-performing advanced economy to basket case over the next couple of years.

Rates are increasing due to having cut social spending over the last 6/7 years of austerity from the Conservative (+ Libdem) government.
The have rock all to do with The EU.

You are possibly right about not much changing on day 1 after formal separation begins but, there will be some legal changes instantly.
They may not be visible but for sure, they will happen.
