Liz,

The figure that I accussed you of invent[ing] off the top of your head were those of 750 000 marchers, and that it would only be 200 MPs who decided.

I watched or listened to the BBC for a good deal of time yesterday. At no point did I hear a figure greater than 400 000. I also read the BBC website several times. Again no mention of a figure in excess of 400 000.

That's why I think you're inventing figures 'off the top of your head' when you suggest there were 750 000 people there

There are 650 MPs in the UK, a majority on any free vote such as this needs 326 votes. And given the depth of feelings on the issue, I would expect almost all of them to exercise their vote

That's why I think you're inventing figures 'off the top of your head' when you suggest that it only needs 200+ MPs to decide.

You asked me to define a 'service industry'

I could do so, but I won't insult your intelligence by providing the generally agreed definitions of the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy that can be found in any basic economics textbook (and on numerous websites).

You also say: Agriculture...accounts for 99.999rec.% of the food you stuff in your face

No it doesn't. I happen to eat a lot of fish...
