Re: UK Rebate Squawks - Again (none / 0)

I mentioned the subject in the context of the UK's overall relationship with the rest of the EU, full stop. Insofar as it has taken off at a tangent, this is the work of others.

I do not know technically how to lift quotations - especially partial one - out of the contributions of others and I do not intend to find out. It is the most tiresome feature of this blog that I have noted to date.

The quotations avoid disputes of the "you said such and such"/ "that wasn't exactly what I said" kind by providing an exact citation and its source: the username above is a clickable link back to the comment, which can then be read in full.

And it reduces the requirement for footnotes, by making it simpler to request explanation and expansion of a claim.
