    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We're a softer touch, just like some others in the EU who are favoured by migrants, Germany and Scandinavian countries for example. Obviously migrants avoid the countries who take a tougher line. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And Switzerland has been in trade deal talks with the EU for over 9 years now. That's still incomplete despite some 120 individual trade deals so far and still no access for their services, as important for them as they are for us. I'm not confident I'll live to see the end of our leaving the...

    They were probably all occupied by Germany in Tommie's fantasy existence, one where the DUP are magically a force for good instead of the anti-social bigots that they really are. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really are delusional if you think the majority of the population consider such issues when voting. They are only concerned with the issues directly affecting them. And all the polls say you are wrong, now typically 54/46 in favour of remaining, more than double the majority the other way...

    The only plan B I want is a Betrayal of Brexit by saying Bo!!ocks to Brexit and the Bast**rds who Believed in it by promoting it, so remaining in the Blessed EU. .

    Another Leaver fiction. Seems more days it's a dull, leaden grey sky that rises to reveal a wet morning landscape. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, it was my lot to be stationed for three years with a majority of Yorkshiremen in a small army detachment. In the middle of Hampshire as it happened, so more at home for me than them. Though a Londoner, I'd previously been living in Bournemouth for eight years, which was in Hampshire...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know what it is but there seems to be a two way flow between the North and Wales. Yorkshireman Oyster now living in West Wales is just one example of many. That pseudo northerner John Prescott was born and brought up in Wales, moving as an adult to the north. Maybe HS2 should run...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And her letter contains a pack of lies anyway, such as "we will take back control of our borders" and "take back control of our laws" and "take back control of our money", with her dishonest inference that £394 millions a week for the NHS is from our leaving the EU. All of the dishonest claims...

    This is a huge own goal by the Japanese and thoroughly bad news for Nissan. Carlos Ghosn has worked miracles for them over his 20 year tenure, changing them from very much an "also ran" to being a key player in many markets and a successful pioneer in electric vehicles. The whole motor...

    Yes I can expect Macron to flip, if his really was a new way. He's turning out as I expected, another airhead politician who doesn't really have a clue, only an unjustified faith in hs own abilities I know all this, it's why I posted as I did. The protesters are right, whoever they are, the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Surely this Brexit thread is that other dimension, judging by the strangely unfamiliar nature of much of the posting in here. One can see how it's time-space continuum is warped, jumping the pages up and down when someone like Tom tries to add anything unusual to it. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so sure about buckled, May probably acted on civil service Foreign Office advice. We're probably going to adopt the old Falklands/Malvinas tactic. We kept Argentina at arms length on that issue for the whole of the 1960s by negotiating about a handover of the islands, but then walked away...

    Welcome to the forum, that looks like a great bike you've bought. Keep the battery charged up, lithium batteries prefer recharging to running right down to empty all the time. The betting is that you'll love using that Bosch performance motor so much that you'll ride it all year round...
