Fully agree with you on that point Woosh. The problem is that having given up manufacturing in any technical area,it becomes very expensive to rebuild the infrastructure. .. Japan first then Korea were building cheap tat for maybe 20 years as they constructed their infrastructure. Now Samsung...

The opinion ,and it's not as yet a judgement, is that it has to be in conformance with the constitutional provisions of the state and in good faith. .. So I would assume that it would mean that the Great Withdrawal Bill would need to be on the order paper, and it would need a one liner Act...

Yes... If the British court of appeal had ruled earlier, they would have had a earlier ruling.. The way EU courts operate is that all legal avenues in the country off origine must have been exhausted, before an application can be considered. .. So much for riding roughshod over the local...

The EU have not said that... . In fact the EU respect for British Democracy is greater than any you have displayed yourselves. The EU did not interfere with the referendum. EU countries did not offer opinions..Perhaps we should have. A group of British parliamentarians, approached the ECJ and...

Important news... As reported today, an opinion from the Advocate General of the ECJ , suggests that the the UK can unilaterally take back their Article 50 letter. The AG provides advice to the ECJ, and is followed in 80% of rulings. A definitive ruling will emerge in perhaps a fortnight...

Yes the EU could negotiate on such minor matters, as you see them, but why would they ?. They may be minor to you , but they are very much linked to a major strategic requirement of an EU member state. The reputational damage to EU credibility would be such that that modification is unthinkable...

There are two documents circulating at present. A Deal and a proposal. The Deal is about the facts of withdrawal. The proposal is more aspirational. The HoC is required to vote on the DEAL. on 11 Dec. Tilsons post was about the Deal. The Deal exists, it will not be re negociated by the EU inside...

"What May is trying to sell to the country is a worse situation than currently exists. There is no getting away from that." Exactly correct Tilson Unfortunately the rest of your analysis is more hope than fact. In 4 months time, the UK is on schedule to leave the EU without any trade deal...
