You just said you can identify no tangible benefits in effect. You can however complain about immigration which it now seems Brexit will not change. No one is claiming it will. Seems to confirm my point that it's very hard to identify any tangible benefits that justify this mess.

Thanks.
These buybacks look set to continue, increasing the value represented by each share slowly but surely. Buying back at prices pushed down by current uncertainty makes sense too. PPI is going costs are being cut. Underlying fundamentals are upwards.
Not very relevant no. Examples which support the commin sense in what I said though.
Take Iraq. Most people think following America into war was not a good idea. Some say it was illegal. Many say we acted like America's poodle or pet sheep. It didn't go well for us.
Changing our status in the world now to be more dependent on America does not seem ideal, especially at a time when there is pressure from Trump to support his aggressive moves against Iran and when he is undermining WTO and waging trade wars. A good example of what not to do.
Fact and definition.
The government governs the country. The government is made up of UK citizens. The UK government agrees to abide by international laws and trade agreements it agrees with other countries in some respects.
This is in keeping with every successful government in the world.

Those statistic were too high as I pointed out. The actual figures were closer to 32% and 37% respectively. In other words around 12% of the electorate. They were quoted in response to the unlikely suggestion the country as a whole would unite behind a hard brexit.
Common sense will prevail.

Nothing in your post indicates a tangible benefit you or anyone else will experience from Brexit. Woffle about governance does not indicate a tangible benefit. The UK is already governed only by its own citizens, as is every country from America to Russia. All successful developed countries follow international laws and legal agreements as well as their own.
The challenge is identifying a way the country will be better off in a discernible tangible way. You haven't done so.
Bit ridiculous to suggest that was bias. The Express forecast a huge win.. was the express biased? It was obvious to anyone that the tories and labour had given away votes, scarcely.
Farage got 38% of a 40% turnout. 15.2% of the electorate. Quote a ways to go before you call that uniting the nation behind a hard Rexit.
Even less sense. Let me help you. Since when has an individual exercising freedom of speech to comment adversely on a ludicrous situation been the same as an oppressive government banning a political party.
Answer .... it never has been comparable. I'm not willing to dignify such silly suggestions and general childish abuse with replies from here on.
Deadhead duck. I've only been posting 6 months and if I am defending anything it's against fiction being used to trash my country. My point being... look where it's got us so far, and look at where it's leading.... the same but worse.
Erv keep trying. There's plenty if words in that post. Now all you need to do is arrange some in the right order and you might come up with a relevant question or point. I do have the impression you are missing some information .. what is it you don't understand or find hard to grasp?
KK another word to the wise. The fines originated based on documented rules and there must surely have been an absence of evidence showing where the money was legitimately spent, mustn't there? Or appeals would have been launched with confidence and won, surely? One thing political work leaves is a very obvious audit trail of phone calls, emails, publications press releases etc. Surely?
