    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've never expected anybody but myself to be responsible for my welfare. Where do you get these ideas? You expect the employer to be responsible for your welfare? Huh? How does that work? Nobody can be responsible for your welfare except yourself. Assuming you are an adult and of sane...

    I've been in the motor business on and off for 35 years. I think I know what I am talking about. Nice try though.

    Spot on. Same with the IMF and the CBI and all the so called 'experts' who called it wrong. Now we have them all back - telling us their latest ideas on what is going to happen. Pass the popcorn.

    Depends on the Brexiter. Some compromise is inevitable. We're not all Farage disciples.

    Not that you sound like the kind of person who would let facts interfere with your incorrect opinions..... but here's the value for my car - it's all those extras and the 50,000 miles that adds to the 'adjusted' value. Merry Xmas!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trump has been absolutely brilliant - more than anybody could possibly have hoped for. The cognitive dissonance experience by all the namby-pamby liberal-progressives - when everything they thought was proved wrong - is even worse than the Remainers who still think they have a hope in hell of...

    I've had my 04 Mini Cooper 1.6 auto, sunroof, cruise, 17" super-sexy wheels for 4 years now. Cost me £4000. Now worth maybe £3000. Totally reliable. Fast enough especially if you put it into sport mode. Low insurance. Etc. Stupid EU rules means I can't drive it in Paris though. Maybe the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As soon as we're properly out of the EU and the madness of the EU agricultural tariffs - we can start doing what's best for the consumer - which means cheaper meat and a tonne of other cheaper foods. And don't buy the crap about Chlorine being a problem - we've been putting it in our water for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    More good news. This Brexit thing just keeps getting better and better: (from the TImes today) "The UK has joined Germany as the fastest-growing advanced economy in 2016 after a last-minute revision to official figures in a development that some might refer to as akin to scoring a goal in...

    Well no it's not a 'soft Brexit'. When Barnier was asked this morning by a journalist if the default position was that the UK would remain in the Single Market and Customs Union he said, “No. You haven't understood that well… beyond its decision to leave the EU… the British government has...

    Tom you might like this from him: "One of the consequences of these developments is that aircraft carriers are no longer safe from cheap missiles. I started making these arguments in 2004 when it was already clear that the UK Ministry of Defence carrier project was a disaster. Since then it has...

    A bit more for those with the stomach for it: "We are escaping the Single Market / ECJ / Charter of Fundamental Rights quagmire that will deepen the EU’s stagnation (despite Whitehall’s best efforts to scupper the referendum). The UK should now be thinking about how we provide the most dynamic...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A bit more anti-EU stuff to balance out the general love for a second vote that seems to be mainstream in this thread: "High-tech breakthroughs are increasingly focused in North East America (around Harvard), West Coast America (around Stanford), and coastal China (e.g Shenzhen). When the UK...

    They really are a miserable bunch. Old Groaner with his laser sharp logic but not an ounce of true insight. Dave with his prima donna self obsession. KLM - well it's a wonder he sells anything given the way he thinks. And Whoosh even he occasionally gives into the idea that some sort of...

    And you wonder why you lost. How high and mighty you think yourself to be! To all the honest decent people who voted how they did for their own good reasons - and you treat them like this. Shame on you. Seriously. Shame on you. Shame on you for your utterly disgusting attitude. Shame on...

    Well. Whatever. You could go on all day and all night here arguing back and forth - doesn't make a farts worth of difference as far as I can see. Bottom line? You lost. We're Brits - not Europeans. We're English. Not Europeans. We won. You lost. End of. I think its a good thing. You...
