But will no one think of the fishes

https://www.politico.eu/article/brexit-fish-johnson-macron-barnier/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

So, as we are preparing for a "no deal", does this mean that less fish will caught? With a "calamitous" effect on both UK and EU fishing does it mean that it won't be profitable to fish the North Sea? Or is it just that prices will rise?

So as the building of a huge lorry park in Kent takes place, the search to find a suitable name is on.

At the moment it looks like it will be called the "Farage Garage."

But nowhere does the article state what the referendum result was in Sunderland. I can make an educated guess as to what it was, but - as it stands - the absence of this piece of information renders the article bland.

Perhaps this is an example of  BBC neutrality.

At the time the Sunderland result was the first that indicated we were likely to leave. Not sure why it would be mentioned in the article on this.

No I don't think it's an example of BBC neutrality, I think they were just reporting on what would happen to Nissan. I made the connection to Sunderland being a "Vote Leave" area, which I thought everybody had heard about. My apologies if it wasn't clear.

You don't have to make an educated guess. It was 69% to 31%.

I'm sure I included a question mark, after:  Never hear anything of or about Anna Soubry these days?

ippy.

P S Come to think of it, never hear anything of or about Ken Clark either?

The statement was a non sequitur.

Anyway how are those sunlit uplands looking?

A bit dark and foreboding, perhaps?

Doesn't the question mark make my post a question rather than a non sequitur, your response would be more of a non sequitur.

Anyway you still don't hear much about those Anna and Ken anymore?

No, you made a statement and the question mark looked like a typo.

"Why do we hear nothing of Anna Soubrey these days?", is a question.

We obviously don't agree, surly there's no need to write a thesis about question marks before we can come anywhere near some sort of compromise on what is meant when placing a question mark.

Incidentally you don't hear or see much of Ken Clark or Anna Soubry these days do you? If you take a look at text of the text messages the youngsters send each other well?

Regards and have a good rest of trhe day Robbie, ippy.

Is that better? (Couple more ?'s for you to deal with!

  P S Suppose I was within your eyesight and I spoke the words of my original post in a questioning tone or manner; not that much of a difference you'd have to admit, unless, of course, it was something you'd rather not hear?

That last sentence is not a question even though you put a question mark on the end?

You clearly had another reason for posting it?

See what I did there?

I will leave it , but as I'm feeling pedantic I'll finish with saying that sticking a question mark at the end of a statement does not make that statement a question.
