You don't even need to travel.

Where I used to work in Blackburn there was a high percentage of staff who only needed to utilise a bottle of water and their left hand.  Disgusting.

Former student I used to work with was Indian originally and lived in Tanzania. 

Cracking bloke but admitted that when he first came he was astonished to see no water pipe or similar to use with his hand for cleaning. Said he felt dirty using bog roll and had a shower post dump for ages until he got used to it.

Animal!

As a one time, lazy scholar of 1984, the concept of Doublethink has been a feature of the last few years.

There's a part in the book where an official is denouncing the enemy in a public speech, and halfway through changes the enemy to someone else. (Eastasia to Eurasia, ironically)

The crowd instantly lap it up. They know the enemy has changed, but they don't care and just hate the new enemy instead.

It's not one of Orwell's most subtle metaphors, but it demonstrates the point beautifully that if you want to believe something badly enough, your brain simply allows it to happen and convinces you it's correct

A wonderful irony in that.

Twice over in fact.

Might not be quite so easy to fill that in at the end. The very first one might tick both yes and no.

Hmm

One point I haen't heard made; that if we give up something (fishing, for example), we are giving it up as a sovereign nation making a decision.

Too nuanced for the media; Boris will either "win" or "lose" (or both)

You do post a lot of links to websites whose url contains the word "brexit". It generally means they're not entirely trustworthy, or they're data farming.

Thanks; here's hoping my protection is sufficiently strong!

Absolutely. 

The decision whether to allow others to fish in UK waters is one that will be made from a financial and environmental perspective. Of course if French boats are allowed to fish for example, that's the choice made by the government. It isnt giving up sovereignty but using it.

Just as changing the immigration policy isn't giving up anything. 

I saw an interview earlier with a fella who's name I can't remember. He was very good and explained how he felt movement on the level playing field was achievable- utilising a non regression policy to prevent either side dropping standards as it seems is in their canada deal.

Hillary Benn also spoke well: talked about how having to stick to each others standards per se has the potential for problems in that one side could raise theirs in one area and try to claim the other then has a commercial advantage. Which would be perverse. Again a non regression agreement seems sensible.
