    Can't cure cancer, can't stop people killing each other, can't stop bullying. Science can't even stop people getting obese.

    Neither does 'GOD

    That's an opinion.

    Maybe God doesn't want to, and that is also an opinion.

    I only express opinion on matters of personal interest,or do i detect sarcasm in your comment?

     

    No sarcasm, just pointing that everyone is allowed to have an opinion and express it.

    After all, it is only a point of view with no really value.

    Well this is at least what I think about my opinions.

    Maybe there are some who consider their opinion as being ones  of high value.

    Well i certainly didn,t think it was a socialist dictatorship,i always viewed it as a corrupt ( when was the last time a balance sheet was published?) Unelected dictatorship.

     

    There is no reason why you shouldn't have a proper opinion ( and express it ) on every possible matter.

    You have omitted the most important fact to your analysis, it was a remainer parliament and as such it turned everything into a stalemate, Mrs May tried to unblock the logjam and failed, Boris was dealt the same hand but he played every card with precision and pulled off the "impossible"

     

    Interesting approach / perception of a situation.

    However :

    A Brexit was decided democratically, and will happen as foresee.

    bravo Boris you have pulled the impossible off.

     

    What impossible !?

     

    The Brexit referendum was decided by Mr. Cameron.

    The Leavers won democratically, as consequence the U.K. would leave the E.U..

    The E.U. was informed, and acknowledged.

    Brexit will took place, as expected.

    Mr. Johnson happen just to be the P.M. when occurring.

    There was never a doubt Brexit won't happen.

    well you can personally speculate from the outside ????

     

    Brexiteers never understood the EU is more than a transaction, and that the benefits are of another magnitude that just having an accountant vision of a membership fees versus subsidies. 

    https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/what-the-eu-does-for-its-citizens_en

     

    Fair enough, but as written :

     

     

    "Since 1957, the European Union has benefited its citizens by working for peace and prosperity. It helps protect our basic political, social and economic rights.

    Although we may take them for granted, these benefits improve our daily lives."

     

    One only miss it, when it's gone.

    Lets see... 

     

     The U.K. leaving the E.U. isn't particularly a surprise for the E.U. members, it is known since June 2016.

     

    So, I trust the problem has already been discussed somehow. 

     

    I personally speculate that the wealthiest contributor members won't pay more (or not that much more), but the beneficiaries members receiving less. 

     

    These beneficiaries members will have than to decide, if it is more wise to receive nothing(leaving the Union) or adapt to a lesser benefit (staying in the Union). 

     

    Lets indeed see what will happen.

    I did a search and found numerous sites that confirm the corruption in the EU.  And it is not even a perception.????

    No doubt, on the Net there is food for everyone.

    I found some about corruption in the U.K., not convinced that they are that credible.

    That there is corruption, sure, the U.K. is number 12 in the list I posted previously.

    Of course it is up to you if you want to believe unconditionally the sites claiming the corruption in the E.U..

    Also here I believe there is corruption to a certain degree, as I believe there is some everywhere, in everything, politics is involved.

    Because Mr. Johnson proclaimed it was a victory ?

    The E.U. is no more corrupt than the U.K. is. 

     

     

     

    Sorry, I have to retract this. 

     

    On the list of Corruption Perception Index, only 8 countries, member of the E.U., are categorized as less corrupt than the U.K.. 

     

    The others more. 

     

    I don't find any data about the E.U. as entity.
