You're from Cheshire. It's not your fault

I am 100% certain that all the brexiteer IFA's are all round good eggs and snappy dressers. It is the remainer IFA's that eat slugs and spiders and throw their empty crisp packets out of the window..

If its raining and poring the old man is very likely to be snoring


highlands, stop flogging the dead horse..

These remainers are mad I tell you. Mad.

Just like buses. Not just one but two or three idiots all at the same time... Thumbs Up

Tell us a joke about a red bus too if you like?

Just a few "adult" quotes from the prof.

Why not leave the grown up stuff to highlands, I may not agree with his standpoint but his posts are always worth a read.

Regarding another vote, the people will eventually demand one when the deal presented is so terrible or it will be via a general election again caused by the terrible deal. You want out-I want in but we may both end up united by not getting the "good" deal we want.
Would a second vote not sort this out?

The problem is, as mentioned previously, any likelihood of a 'second vote' makes the EU offering a dreadful 'deal' more likely.

No deal is far from being the best deal for either the UK or EU so they'll want to avoid it.
In the absence of a second vote the only thing that the EU can see avoiding the 'no-deal' is to offer an acceptable deal, otherwise it's a one-way bet to no-deal.

If the spectre of 'no-Brexit' rears itself, the EU now has the third option of a 'terrible deal', still giving it a 2-way bet on no-deal/no-Brexit.

I think the majority want an acceptable deal. The best way to ensure that is to not be countenancing a no-Brexit offer.

Yes, yes, all good Jeremy fodder from, when?, 2013. How many are actually British - not "made in Britain" but British? How many could just as easily be made in, oh, Germany or Slovenia or anywhere else in Europe if conditions are such that it is economic to do so?

This sort of chap-down-the-pub flag waving is all well and good but it won't stop production moving if it is economically sensible to do so.

And I agree with highlands here Shocked
Whilst I think a second vote of the deal would be fair for the people and democratic, if you consider that just for what it is better for the UK to try to get a reasonable good deal with Brexit happening then it is better not to have a second vote
 It takes all sorts (to make a world).

This kind of sums up the problem I have with Brexit. Apparently we want out (democratic vote, first past the post wins, move on) but we then also want "a deal". We want to have a relationship that mirrors in so many ways the relationship we are leaving. If you want out, get out. As much as I disagree with professorpool's preference for the "nuclear winter" Brexit, it is at least consistent.

Any deal will result in the EU having a say in how we go about our lives - it will be thus because they are the bigger party in the negotiations, they are out single biggest export customer etc. Any deal will result in us being "in" to some degree but without any say in how and what and why and where.

Seems to me you are either for Brexit or you're against. Any half way house position is simply inconsistent. And that's why I feel that those who voted to leave have shot both themselves, and the rest of us, in both feet.

Great video Thumbs Up
Sadly, as already pointed out, production could be moved overseas.
For example Bentley CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer has emphasised the need for Britain to secure a tariff-free trade deal with Europe, stating that a ‘worst case scenario’ could force the company to move to continental Europe. Sad
