Current Affairs EU In or Out

Pants. He was exactly of the same mould as Cameron and Osbourne, an upper class ridden oik who saw the lower classes as expendable cannon fodder.

He did not abdicate like they did after losing .......

I saw a documentary once where the president flew a fighter jet and defeated an invading alien army. He'd have smashed these negotiations, and his experience dealing with aliens would have made Britain pure again that's for sure.

Sarcasm is the lowest form wit......

Probably a bit high with that estimation. Anyone who votes this through is a self serving snout in the trough pot bellied pig.

Now obviously I’ve never voted Tory, always Labour, but people here of a certain age will have some time for Micheal Hestletine at least. Here he is speaking more sense.

It's the way they want to requlate it the USA don't like and it would mean there firms would have to open up in the EU to have access to that market , and stricter controls as well for access to the Eurozone market.
Trump or not the yanks like a free market, they will not put up with the Eurozone doing that .

But think about it logically, what you are describing is a snap shot in time that will change. The EU and Uk are now in competition with each other. Obviously both are going to be compeitive and make themselves more attractive in a post Brexit era. Regulation, corporate tax, tariffs, interest rates, customs fees and try and beat the other. We could well see a race to the bottom.

Surely these companies are operating under EU controls in Britain now and are holding bonds in many EU countries as well as the UK it’s very intricate. I believe some countries have taken their gold reserves out of London already ahead of Brexit. The UK will of course could and probably has to go Wild West on controls and that could be appealing, but the EU offers a far greater ease and cheaper access to a bigger market.

It’s all speculation of course. One thing I have noticed this side of the pond is many big companies hedging their bets, buying up companies in Ireland and trading as an Irish company as opposed to and in addition to a UK company, Aviva have done it recently.

Why is hessletaine held up as some noble person? He was part of one of the most odious governments ever!

No time for the man... Even if he did stop Maggie shelling liverpool

You can take it as a given that there are well over 100 Tory MP's that are going to vote against her deal on the 21st Jan, normally PM's that can't pass legislation and command a majority in Parliament resign, and rightly so, doubt she will though.

To the best of my memory they didn't threaten to shoot striking Welsh miners either.

I'd like to hear his reasoned explanation of how we'll be fine.

I was talking about his leadership his negotiated deals his organisation skills - I acknowledge his failings in my post... There were many!

 

[Joey66]

Evidently She is going to get a legal letter from the EU to attach to the Irish backstop deal?......

They're all crawling out of the woodwork.

And there you have it. The England 1990 World Cup squad are bunch of bad Tory Brexit loving beauts.

Well in Diego. The Hand of God indeed.

Err, wrong World Cup

You're thinking of 1986
