True, it was a government manifesto issue so the Commons can overrule the Lords. .

That is untrue. We have signed to pay for previously agreed obligations such as the future EU pensions and the projects that we were involved with to their completion. These agreements are legally binding and we must pay both to avoid the harm I described and keep our good name. That is why...

I think it highly likely it will be. That's because I know it is the only deal on offer and cannot be renegotiated. You should think yourself lucky, for the EU has gone further than it wanted to. As little as three months ago they were insisting we couldn't have any control over free movement...

Once again you show how little you understand on this issue. The EU negotiator would ignore such childish bluff, knowing how impossible it was and that we could never do that. As I've already posted and you seem to have ignored, that breach of our agreed obligations would result in an...

Open access to the world's largest trading group as just one example. In Financial services alone in 2017 we earned £27 billions from the EU, while they only earned £4 billions from us in those services. Do you really want to chuck away the £23 billions difference and all our EU trade in...

No, their benefits are proportionally far more expensive than EU membership. .

It wouldn't have mattered who did that, the facts of leaving the EU club made a poor outcome inevitable, as I've explained. Suppose you said to the RAC or AA that you were discontinuing your annual payment but still expected their breakdown services. When they said no, would you say they were...

Because the Tories want to get rid of the Human Rights Act and Labour are not opposing that change so it's likely to happen once we exit. Theresa May has said as much. So no protection from that act or the EU with their proven far better human rights record than UK courts or governments. .

No, it's the only possible type of deal. We Remainers warned even before the referendum that any deal would be unsatisfactory. Indeed my factual post that started this entire thread back then was to alert that was the case, using a proven example. And it wasn't only us, the EU pointed out at...

I'll leave Danidl to answer. .

To avail themselves of human rights protection. .

We all do, 250 watts is only a nominal legal limit, all of our motors pump out much more. Your Bosch for example over 500 watts. .

At least that's something many of us agree on! .

The GFA was clearly made for an Ireland and UK within the EU and is only set in stone in that context. Nothing, absolutely nothing is ever set in stone for eternity. The departure from the EU of the UK with Northern Ireland clearly means a very different set of conditions which the UN will no...

He obviously doesn't read our thread, we've lambasted Cameron on many occasions for his stupidity in holding the referendum. .

Agreed, he's one of the same ilk as those KudosDave elicited. .

I'm not a pessimist as my hopes for the EU and immigration show. But I base my opinions on the future of Vauxhall Luton on known facts as I've posted, not hopes. .

I've disagreed since there are several falsehoods in the list. Points 3 and 4. We will pay a departure amount (probably the £39 billion) to the EU to honour our agreements. We have to in order to avoid our credit rating being slashed, which would severely damage our hopes of world trading...

I agree with you that this has happened, and there's reasons behind it. First in any population there are some who will take advantage of any opportunity to abuse the system. That applies to ourselves and immigrants. Second the unwillingness of the native population to do some kinds of...
