Aye, there’s no point in discussing an unknowable future.
And the past is gone, there’s nothing we can do about it - we just have to get over it and move on.
The present is so fleeting it is barely worth mentioning.
Nothing exists and therefore nothing matters. That’d look nice on a coin, if coins existed.
You miss my point,
There is every point discussing the possibilities of an unknowable future, so long as all sides accept that we are discussing the UNKNOWABLE and refrain from passing opinion as fact. Indeed, the past is gone, but we should learn from it, either repeating things that were successful or avoiding the repeat of mistakes. The present is fleeting, and priceless, in our present we are creating our yesterdays and shaping our futures, NOW is the most important time we have.
A lot of things exist, if only as theories. I read yesterday that Einstein's theory of Relativity is being challenged, again, like this is a bad thing. Some people forget that theories are offered to promote debate, not preached as fact.
So. in theory, leaving the EU, to me, is going to work out. I never thought it would but seeing the way the EU (NOT EUROPE) is behaving makes me believe we are better off out of it. The EU (NOT EUROPE) are demanding fishing rights and the ECJ having a say, that isn't what the majority were expecting.
The EU (NOT EUROPE) isn't really the EU at all, it is Germany, France and to some extent, Italy, who are making it as tough as possible.They are petrified that a successul exit from the EU for the UK will encourage other EU members (or their electorate) to want the same.
