GBP - How low will it go?

[WTFH]

that's the problem with statistical correlation!

No, it's the problem with you, you dull troll.

That's nothing compared to the suggestions made that Turkey would be joining the EU in the next couple of years, when anyone with a minimal knowledge of what is the EU and what it stands for will easily understand that that isn't even an option in the next 20 years (maybe way more)

well, as I've said, however incorrect, the public's perception of the reality will be decisive.

The "temporary" speed limit on the M4 between junctions 41 and 42 installed in an attempt to reduce the claimed pollution that vehicles produce, ignoring the pollution created by Europe's largest steel works, has now been made permanent, without any obvious scientific evidence being published that I've seen, to demonstrate that pollution has been cut. Average speed cameras have also been installed. So, the general consensus of opinion with my associates is that it was all a ruse to justify extending the average speed cameras to increase revenue.

my only answer to that is that the EU hasn't proposed a ban on coal mining, which has proven to be much more injurious to many more people than chromium plating processes might have proven to be. I guess you don't use electricity generated by coal fired boilers then?

Whataboutery. Your usual method of debating.

you are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.

well, your usual reply when you can't counter statements.

So, to all the Greens, I say, unless you live in a tepee and don't use anything other than your own abilities to feed and cloth yourselves, then you have no moral justification for criticising any of use who do not follow that lifestyle.

Still think there is a hugeee difference on ban something with decorative purposes only or something that it's still fundamental for our daily life...

Well, if you think the chrome plating of hydraulic rams and similar industrial devices isn't fundamental to daily life, then I'm not sure how our major infrastructure projects would cope without them.

We can all agree that you are an unnecessary producer of carbon dioxide.

Fine, let’s look at your comparison then.

Coal mining is dangerous, but it hasn’t been banned outright and HSE laws have been introduced (both EU and solely domestic) to make it safer for the employees.

Chroming using certain materials is dangerous, it it hasn’t been banned outright and the proposal was to bring in laws to make it safer for the employees.

Not that difficult.

mind numbingly tedious twaddle.

oh, FFS.
