Current Affairs EU In or Out

Isn't this the same logic that domestic abusers apply when they are 'driven to it' by their partners?

Wow, I've really driven you to sinking low now haven't I to try win the argument, that's a rather pathetic analogy, shame on you bruv.

So the £ is doing better now than it was, in say 2015?

Strong downward trend in the pound for the last 10/12 years.

Strong downward trend in the pound for the last 10/12 years.

Strong downward trend over 10/12 years eh?



Hmmm...

Yes the pound has dropped, but it's dropped for all it's competitors, not just TC, with TC's buying power they should have been ok.

What has done them is too many shops and and too many overheads, 1.6bn in debt, that's not the pounds fault, bad management is the cause.

There has been a huge fire sale of the rump of what was left of British industry innovative start ups and various assets to foreign owners because of the falling pound. All Brexit nonsense has achieved is further push the UK economy to be soley reliant on the service sector. Only those with vested interest in the service sector and free market libertarianism can happy with this situation.

Stop being such a WUM Pete and put yourself in the position of any MP on the opposite benches, they cannot let a GE happen before an extension has been agreed. The proof in the pudding will be once there is an extension or deal in place will they then vote against an election? Not likely. The SNP will be licking their lips to wipe the Tories out north of the border, Lib Dems will have a few and it means even if the Tories win a few Brexit Labour seats it won't be enough for a majority.

PS I would bet heavily on a no confidence vote today, as it will afflict a wound on the government if nothing else - filling some headlines. The rest of the house will try and seek a temporary government to take charge but that will come to nothing. Johnson will prorogue again but not until a few days before when the Queen is set to re-open parliament on the 14th.

We’ll see.....

Lord Sumption on the SC decision. Hard to disagree with any of that.

It must be difficult to find many people happy about that...oh no hang on:

 

[peteblue]

I would have thought Swinson would be more concerned accidentally getting Corbyn as PM than a no deal Brexit.....

 

[Jebus_lives]

The entire government case in the SC was that the decision had nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit and it was just normal procedure...

The Express clearly thinks it's readership are stupid.

Maybe she's read that he's unelectable and a chicken...
