I have just remembered this. It was written by Charles Sykes and used by Bill Gates in a speech to graduates in the USA a number of years ago. RULE 1 Life is not fair - get used to it.

We now live in a world in which people would have you believe there are two kinds of people White people and people of colour.
I never suggested for 1 moment that the vote be overturned - and I am allowed to continue to feel let down and disappointed but the results!
However ponder this - in order to trade with the EU which we must in order to survive we must like other states take on some of the EU rules - so we will have to follow orders and not receive any of the benefits.
What about the money given to Northern Ireland - which has made a huge difference to a downtrodden area - who will support all the projects over there.
Cornwall is already asking Westminster to plug the gap that leaving the EU will leave even though they voted a majority out!
"n order to trade with the EU which we must in order to survive we must like other states take on some of the EU rules - so we will have to follow orders and not receive any of the benefits. " - No a thousand times no, have you listened to nothing up to now?
Surely there are millions of jobs in the EUSSR for the youngsters who feel entitled to travel. Greece? Spain? Italy? Albania? Poland? My ancestors found work to do in Europe. The Somme, Passchendaele, Gallipoli.

I mean if they want to get funny with us we put import duty so their goods get a lot more expensive for consumers, QED they don't sell. Gawd help us it's the basics.
no different, we are still buying from the same place, we'll have done a deal, you buy our stuff we buy yours tada! Are BMW going to say no to selling us their jam jars cos they are in a tizzy? You've been frightened by project fear, that's all just forget that and think logically.
