What's going on?

[Inspector Knacker]

So you want to know why fishermen might he better off remaining in the EU, MK1 post a very interesting, heavily evidence based article which answers precisely that . . . And you dont read it.
Sorry, can't you understand I need no introduction to EU fishing regs from Mk 1. or anyone else come to that. I can 'read' but was involved in this when you were teething, but not as a fisherman

Maybe that's the reason you voted leave eh?
Did I say I voted for leave? You make assumptions, it is possible to change one's mind after all when you realise some people just cannot accept a vote.

Wasn't it Gove who said "people have had enough of experts?"
Not a follower of the fellow but doubtless Mk1 will have a few titbits for you.

[Inspector Knacker]

.but on this topic I don't need to, I'm in my comfort zone.

Dunning Kruger applies

You're a psychiatrist as well now, how do find the hours in the day.

[mk1]

Now are you claiming to be the 'Truth' ....?

No you are. You are saying you don't need to check anything because you are an 'expert'.
This modern age where experts (or more correctly experts you believe to hold opposing political views) are derided.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is nothing to do with Psychiatry but If it walks like a duck and quacks then........... it is a Canard!

It should be remembered that the 3 (in)famous 'Cod Wars' were all  won by Iceland and that in the end the UK surrendered because it was discovered that 'we' needed Iceland far more than they needed us.  The UK Government sold the fisherman out  for a political advantage and that was a bigger blow to the UK fishing fleet than any EU deal.  The 'EU' were also defeated by plucky little Iceland and, when push came to shove, the USA decided to intervene in Iceland's favour.

Iceland 'won' because they had the tools for the job. Ice strengthened patrol vessels, far more robust than us sending frigates with much thinner hulls and lots of delicate/ expensive equipment to get damaged. A politicians answer to the problem, like their crazy suggestion to force the Fleet Air Arm to bomb the wreck of the Torres Canyon to burn off the oil, the navy rolled it's eyes and obeyed orders.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck in a white coat......

The History books say it is because Iceland threatened to leave NATO if the UK did not  grant them their fishing rights and that pressure from the US to stop this happening was a critical factor. The population of the whole of  Iceland was roughly that of Sunderland and I am sure the RN could rustle up a couple or reinforced vessels from mothballs if  required.

Even if the Canard wears a white coat the Dunning-Kreuger Effect is still nothing to do with Psychiatry.

However, in much the same way as people reading "we'll give an extra £350 million a week to the NHS" have been duped by an emotive promise that'll never actually happen, I'm afraid, so have you.

I'm afraid you appear to have duped yourself David, as that's not what the bus said.

Wriggle room for the bus wording  but the billboard adds were, pretty clear:






Plus if you want to go down the semantics path he never mentioned the bus

I think you'll find psychology and psychiatry are connected O learned one. However you were using it as a sly dig at someone's lack of ability, I wonder who

[Inspector Knacker]

I explained the situation to you but you swan on with your ignorance by referring to 'a couple of reinforced vessels from mothballs if required'. If only was that simple.

[Inspector Knacker]

Now are you claiming to be the 'Truth' ....?

No you are. You are saying you don't need to check anything because you are an 'expert'.
No, you are. I only mentioned it in relation to the North Sea so stop fantasising everybody, even you, has to check from several sources.
This modern age where experts (or more correctly experts you believe to hold opposing political views) are derided.
Not derided by me.

If I had his money, you could despise me too. I'd lose no sleep over it.
