He can say whatever he wants. His actions, however, show that what he said isn't the truth.
Report the messages. Chances are the moderators of those subs actually remove those messages, as opposed to what happened in T_D where the moderators left messages which violated T_D's own rules up.
T_D wasn't quarantined because of what people post (as every sub has people posting violence and nonsense from time to time) - the problem was the moderators weren't moderating it.
The problem was the moderators weren't removing posts which violated Reddit's rules and their own subreddit's rules. If a subreddit has poor moderation and is home to threats against people which aren't removed, the subreddit gets quarantined until the moderators show they're actually willing and able to moderate it. This goes for any sub, left or right.
And a subreddit called "fuck the police" is fine unless it contains posts urging people to go out and kill police officers, as happened in T_D, and especially if those messages aren't removed by the moderators.
So it's undemocratic to ask the people what they want? If they still believe the same as before, then nothing will change. If they have changed their minds, it's undemocratic to ignore them now. And it's impossible to ask the same question twice in a referendum, so it can't possibly be re-running it.
Brexit wouldn't be solved, it would just be possible. Any form of Brexit will have its own problems which will need solving.
Boeing said they didn't need further training, so that is still Boeing's fault.
As Boeing said pilots don't need further training to fly this variant, it's still entirely Boeing's fault.
Don't generalise. It destroys your argument. There is still an imbalance in power between an employer and employee, so unions are still terribly important. If one looks at countries with functioning unions (Germany, for example), you'd see they work and work well. They're not going to magically fix shitty business cultures, but they give the employees more of a chance to fix them.
If a company is large enough it can prevent people from knowing about the alternatives.
They didn't enforce the policy as the current administration is doing. That's the difference. It would help your position if you learned what it is before trying to use it in a discussion.
You'd have a point if this was the first country looking to create a national health service. As it isn't, there are plenty of examples. It's not something unknown or unexplainable - it's both known and explained in great depth.
You really don't seem to understand what the EU is or does. Seriously. You're embarrassing yourself.
Yes, the UK bankrupted itself fighting Nazis - many countries did. The money from the EU to other countries is paid by all members, and all receive benefits from it. Reducing it to a simple "they're spending our money!" shows a staggering ingorance of what's actually happening.
And the ECB is not the EU.
You're not really helping dispel the notion that leavers aren't well informed.
Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, the United Kingdom was frequently called the "sick man of Europe", first by foreign commentators, and later at home by critics of the third Wilson/Callaghan ministry, because of industrial strife and poor economic performance compared to other European countries.
It wasn't doing fine. It was doing terribly, actually. Membership of the EEC (and later EU) helped massively. That's why Britain repeatedly tried to join.
If we accept that education is the solution, how do we stem the tide of deaths in the mean-time as we wait for the education to take hold? Or do we not, and just accept that scores of people will die needless deaths?
