Both the above images are embarrassing for both sides. How many people were asked? How do no Remainers mention the economy? How is that possible? I guess its easy to ascribe your opposition with certain ideals instead of looking for the root cause. Bit of a loltastic, divisive piece of media that doesn't really have any value the more I think about it.

I guess you are smarter than a medical school graduate and ex practising doctor then...

with a couple of degrees in economics, and judging on his performance this morning, quite possibly. unless you asking me to diagnose a medical problem.

watch Marr on iplayer and tell me you were impressed.....very lucky man, a disgraced ex-minister given another shot like this

I haven't and don't need to watch it Richard (and I won't right now because I'm on hols). I get you don't agree with him, but suggesting he is not intelligent is you falling into the the 'people who don't agree with me' are thick, you are better than that mate....

if you won't even watch the interview to see what i mean, then what's the point of commenting?

even accepting that Boris acts like a buffoon sometimes and puts his foot in it, Fox is by far the least impressive of the three Brexiteers appointed by May

come back to me when you have something solid to counter that view with.

Ok I've tried to look but can't see a quick way of viewing because not in the uk.

So do you think an unintelligent person can ace their A levels to get onto a medicine course, pass a medical degree and then become a practising GP?

Once again I accept you don't like some opinions or people's personas or in Liam Fox's case having the personality of a wet lettuce, that doesn't make him unintelligent though....

i said "an intellectual he is not"

i stand by my view.

he can be intelligent without being intellectual (and even though i am not implying this for Dr Fox, pass plenty of exams without having much intelligence, depending on memory, learning skills and the exam format)

I aspire to be you then rather than many of the very wealthy docs that runs rings around me on occasion despite being educated the MA level and knowing my medicines inside out......good luck.
