probably myself, but I wouldn't force everyone else to leave.

Welcome back Wayne
Thanks for that Bruce. He’s basically said, we’ll discuss the bits we like and not the bits we don’t. This is just classic EU and which I’m sure May will try to cave in on before she then gets thrown out of office. Her NI visit and speech sounded tough, but no one really trusts her anymore. On NI he’s trying to say that the backstop is the backstop, which we may change as time moves on. He also slid in the military bases in Cyprus and mentioned Gibraltar, no doubt for future intransigence. I love the way he believes his actual ‘red lines’ are just givens, but our ‘red lines’ are an impediment to agreement. His reference to October now moving to November and December did however suggest that it’s dawning on him and the 27 that we may actually just do a no deal. There has been absolutely no progress from what I’ve heard, but perhaps you may have heard it differently.......oh and the fact that we even had a question regarding Drunken Juncker says it all......anyway, what was your take on the video....

We could do that now. I understand your fear, but it’ll be down to tariffs, tax, government investment etc, which are all covered by some EU rule at the moment......

So no tariffs Worldwide then.....via WTO or via individual free trade agreements?

To be fair to Joe, that post was in response to being asked what sort of Socialist/ism he is/would like to be.
I think.

I can’t speak for their individual motives nor that of anyone else who still thinks this is a great idea. What I can say definitively though, is that there’s a definitive lack of understanding of the full implications of a ‘no deal’ Brexit, a pathway that stands up to absolutely no scrutiny as being a ‘good’ choice, and yet there’s still plenty who advocate this path. They’re driven by an ideology nothing more, nothing less. For some, Brexit ceased to be solely about leaving the EU a long time back.....

No one is suggesting the Remain campaign was a good one, and the weird desire by some Leave supporters to desperately paint this in a weird winners v losers, sporting competition is, quite frankly idiotic and lacking in any form of empathy.
The country voting to Leave has, in my view, put us in a position of weakness and will
Cause major long term damage.
When people who voted leave then can’t adequately explain any real reason why except some vague taking back control, it is really quite frustrating when you realise what is at stake
I think the same things are being posted time after time we have an act of Parliment that says we are leaving let's just get on with it constructively......
Momentus reply.......
What's the Labours position on Brexit as it changes by the minute.......
If your union in a firm voted for a strike in a secret ballot you would attempt to be a scab then?.......

Thankfully, the team that Liam Fox heads up are doing just that, quietly and energetically behind the scenes. Its the only slim bit of hope I have that this whole exercise wont be a disaster for folk.
Why are you just banging on about the USA the U.K. Can trade freely cheaply outside the EU - which would also help poorer countries....

How would it help poorer countries Joey?
Hang on, are we all voting to strike or are we all voting to leave and set up on our own? I think striking for what you want is a fine idea.
The last time you set up on your own, you became a huge multinational that treated your foreign employees like dirt. Union busting was all the rage!
