A part of the UK Pete. Please don't pretend this is being done on behalf of all of us.

Fake account that one mate.

I couldn't access it either

 

[Barnfred 55]

When we crash out with "no deal", resulting in huge economic impact, who do we blame?

Wouldn't even know where to start with that one mate.

 

[Barnfred 55]

We will just carry on. The economic impact of leaving the EU is a speck of dust compared to what we already have to deal with because of the virus....

True, but all the more reason why they should stop playing with their willies and come to some sort of agreement. Diplomats seem to like playing with their willies though and because of that we probably won't get past first base.

Nah, I’d imagine if there was another referendum today the results would still be very close. You won’t hear many people saying that they wish they’d voted different.

Given the behavior of his father, his 'man of the people' schtick is like a bad joke. Not only do they not have a clue about the lives of average people, but they don't really care.
