    But hey your brexit brain is too small to understand.
    Oh grow up for once.

    I was making the point that every micro movement is called a plummet or a surge these days. I am also not paid in GBP so I do understand that lots times something small = something large. Apart from your brain power it seems.

      If you use the definition of the word freedom as;

      The RIGHT to ACT, SPEAK, or THINK as one wants.

      Then you probably only ever have 2 out of the 3. The right to ACT as you want is not quite a given.

      Just throwing that out there

        Neither of the first two are a given in a normal society, there are rules and restrictions and societal norms all around us, regardless of whether we are in or out of the EU.

          Yes, I hadn't fully considered that there are some words which if spoken out loud may get you into trouble. So inlconclusion, none of us have freedom in the absolute definition of the word. We only have freedom, with caveats.

            a colleague at a previous company said that his dad said that the only freedom we have is our thoughts

            Milan.

              Pretty much agree, but that’s only really if that’s your definition of freedom. Personally, I think that if someone wants to do or say anything they like without consequence then that puts them close to the definition of being a psychopath.

                Or maybe that’s two freedoms, someone’s freedom to shout “bomb” in an airport, and our freedom to lock them up for it. :-)

                  The UK has the power to leave the EU without notice and without invoking Article 50, by a single act of parliament.
