I do think there is a collective naivity on the left about what has happened in the English channel this summer, yes.

And when have I ever referenced a piece of economic data that is inaccurate about Europe? I'm not sure you have ever in fact disagreed with me on that - indeed, you wouldn't be disagreeing with me, you would be disagreeing with eurostat in most cases.
Oh, I know - and that's absolutely fine. The point I am making is that you seem to assume that if someone doesn't agree with you, that they are ill-informed. It's patronising, undermines your credibility, and suggests you are the one closed to alternative views.

I spent a career working with eurostat and other data sources. As discussed before, I think that you use them very selectively to suit your own argument.

Still, I enjoy reading your posts, and some (re-brand, Yma o Hyd) I'm in full agreement with. It's just a shame you use such a condescending line of debate.
