No one's political views were ever changed on social media, but when it comes to the best way (and whether or not) to drink iced tea - perhaps!

Re: Boring
I guess to be fair there is a dedicated Brexit thread. You don't have to go there. For people who have no interest in Brexit at all..like me..it does get extremely boring when people push the subject into everything. But I guess this is essentially a UK forum so we ( Australians, Canadians, Americans, New Zealanders, South Africans..you get the picture) grin and bear it.

I don't feel anything about it. What I think?...I accept that it is an important issue for the UK and Europe and that it is a subject that is discussed incessantly here. I drop in a couple of times a day briefly to read or make a contribution. OFF is not the epicentre of my life but I suspect that for some here it is. I like to say what I think and be honest but I respect the fact that it is a UK centric forum. I don 't engage in the subject enough to feel anything. It is irrelevant to me in terms of Indo Pacific issues. But if it means the UK can fill some gaps left by China's childishness, spite and outright bullshit with regard to trade well I'm all for it.
China has been trying to strangle us with unjustified trade sanctions and bullshit lies for nearly two years now. They are failing. The trouble with them is that they underestimate everybody. Their country has certainly become very powerful but their tactics are boring and transparent. Everybody is awake up to them. All they understand is second rate con jobs and bullying and threats if that doesn't work. We have found markets elsewhere and will continue to do so. Australia is NOT scared of China. So if Brexit means alternative markets for us and beneficial two way trade deals..Bring it on!.. That's how I feel.

I was just trying to wind you up - in a humorous way!
