the oldies decide which brexiter will get to be PM, therefore the shape of UK government.
JRM is ahead at the moment, seen by the oldies as 'competent'.
That YouGov poll that OG posted about contains a lot more info about tory membership.
last month YouGov poll about the tories:

As if the anti-dumping duty wasnt bad enough....now since Liam Fox opened his big gob about no-deal brexit, the pound is falling again against the US dollar....this will push up the price of chinese e-bikes and therefore the anti-dumping duty will be more.
Obviously this will also push up the prices of all dollar sourced product,just at the time when the shops will be ordering christmas stock,another hit on the ever suffering high street.

Really as a stand up comic, you are a complete failure, about the only other clown who imagines we will be better off after Brexit is that Dotard Minford, and your attempt at put down jokes can't disguise the fact that you haven't the faintest clue of the damage you have done voting for Brexit.
Worse you really don't care, do you?
I am surprised that any e-bike importers want to carry on...its not an easy product to sell,the anti-dumping duty and low pound,it is bulky to ship and store,the difficulty of shipping lithium batteries and that most UK customers want to buy as cheaply as possible-the threshold point seems to be £1000.00.
I would not be surprised if a lot of importers just give up.

Thing is tho OG Brexit or post Brexit will never be as bad as you want it to be. Can't be.
China hits back against latest US tariffs; pound hit by Brexit worries – business live
Sterling has dropped close to a one-year low as fears of a hard Brexit rise
- Latest: China announces tariffs on $16bn of US goods
- Coal, medical equipment and steel products affected
- Pound falls against dollar and euro
- Brexit fears are hurting sterling
the Pound drops because the Dollar and the Euro go up. People buy reserve currencies when the outlook is unstable (US/China tariff war), the Pound is less attractive than the Dollar and the Euro, hence the drop. Nothing to do with brexit at the moment.
two sides of the same coin.
they see what they think will sell newspapers.
Troll opinions count for nothing so the opinion of a particularly stupid troll can safely be ignored.In your humble opinion

Fake news but this is exactly the kind of news reporting to which the British public has been exposed for all my adult life:

YouGov poll shows voting intention has flipped toward remain in the South West:
At the 2016 referendum around 53 per cent of voters in the southwest cast their ballot for Leave while 47 opted Remain, now 53 becomes 49 and 47 becomes 51.
Maybe that's the result of demography (the South West has a high percentage of 65+ year olds who have died since the referendum) rather than shifting opinion.

In the UK, we endure something euphemistically referred to by some as a monarchical democracy. Not many people in the UK have any true understanding of what that really means but this might help, thanks to the late Tony Benn:
Many will remember seeing either this photo or any one of a large number of similar ones:
What is important about this picture? Tony Benn explains it:
“The royal prerogative, exercised not by the Queen but by the prime minister in her name, is seen as the final guarantee that democratic decisions by parliament and the people could never be allowed to undermine the hierarchical and semi-feudal system we have.
The fount of honour has been re-routed from Buckingham Palace and now sprays the holy water of patronage on the chosen few from 10 Downing Street, which appoints archbishops, bishops, cabinet ministers, peers and judges, and fills most senior government posts with the people it wants.
Declarations of war and Britain's adherence to treaties such as the new European constitution are exercised under prerogative powers by the prime minister, who may or may not choose to consult the Commons or the electorate in a referendum.
Government policy is revealed in the Queen's speech, which she does not write herself; all laws to be enacted require the royal assent; parliaments are all summoned and dissolved by royal proclamation; and the Commons even requires the consent of the Queen before it can elect a speaker, because we have a monarchy.
MPs have to swear allegiance to the Queen before they can take their seats, while those joining the privy council - a requirement for all cabinet ministers - have to do so in person, on bended knee, before the Queen herself.
As an MP, my true allegiance was to my party, my constituents and, above all, my conscience. Therefore, in order to serve in the Commons and the cabinet, I had to tell 18 lies under oath, which I found deeply offensive.
Above all, the existence of a hereditary monarchy helps to prop up all the privilege and patronage that corrupts our society; that is why the crown is seen as being of such importance to those who run the country - or enjoy the privileges it affords.”

All in it together? I think not!

That would be the great Euro sceptic Tony Benn? Confusing world Tom.
Rather an irrelevant post, especially considering JC's stance. I think it's called trolling. This thread is about Brexit.
If you want to talk about your class war perhaps you should start a thread rather than high jack this one.
