Boris....come into my office,the people seem to realise that we haven't a plan on Brexit....I tried 'Brexit means Brexit' then 'We are going to achieve the best possible deal in trading with Europe'.....I need a new catchphrase to keep the people happy.
Well Maybot you could always try telling them the truth.....'let's forget this Brexshit,it's a load of *******'

EU NEED TO GIVE IT BACK
Ukip will be asked by the EU to pay back almost £150,000 in ‘misspent funds’ trying to get Nigel Farage elected as an MP
Party accused of breaking European rules that ban spending money on national campaigns and referendums.
And people associate with this person?
Reminds me somehow of an old comic rhyme
"One evening last October,when I was far from sober, and bring home a "load" with manly pride,
My feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter, and a Pig came up and lay down by my side.
And a lady passing by was heard to say,
"You can tell a man who boozes by the Company he chooses"
So the Pig got up and slowly walked away."
The Moral being be careful who or what you associate with.
By your Friends shall you be judged

I myself have already experienced a major problem which will be more evident post Brexit.
One of my products is a air compressor that we sell widely throughout Europe. The EC standard is constantly updated to encompass new design changes,my supplier keeps me informed of these changes but the EU have stopped updating our standards dept.
I have kept the local standards agency updated but on a national level the standards agency and our manufacturers are already out of date.
This could mean that UK manufactured compressors will not comply with EU standards and be rejected for sale in Europe and also in the UK if it is intended to be CE marked.
These standards apply to hundreds of products,medicines,materials etc.
The EU have already lost interest in us,we will need to quickly test these products under our own standard ,the kite mark,even if we want to sell these products in the UK,they will no longer comply with the CE mark.
This problem could apply to white goods as the standard is updated and we no longer comply.
Is May's team working on a way to update these standards.
KudosDave

that's how they spun the recent Natcen survey.
90% don't want hard brexit. Proper democracy I reckon.
But will Theresa May implement the will of the people while the brexiteers hold her leash? or will she rely on the unelected lords to do the job for her?
Hi
To date nothing has changed in any legal sense, so it is difficult to see why standards updates have not been forwarded. The UK, is at present, a bono fide EU member state . As far as the EU bureaucracy is concerned, the UK is not even in the departure lounge. It would be instructive to find out where the obstruction has occurred, whether at the level of the EU or more locally. Remember there was a glitch in the UK E U commission after the brexit vote when the Commissioner resigned.
great stuff, ive always had a soft spot for pigs
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/16/pigs-can-be-pessimists-find-university-of-lincoln-scientists/
perhaps we just need to give the brexitters some space, straw and bowls of sweets?
speaking of pigs and your, er, soft spot for thereza, there is this rather good article about very, very hard brexit, her pink dress and Nige as our go to man in washington

Very probably this is nothing more than an admin problem that will be resolved, at least till we actually leave.
Here is an interesting video for those who trust Farage
leave campaigners are like Trump surrogates, making impossible promises, like having both access to the Single Market, bringing down immigration to the tens of thousands, tax cuts, no red tape etc, anything you want really.
They only need a small percentage of voters to be uncritical, like Mr Trump only need to win over the rust belt. He promises 5 trillion dollars reconstruction programs, 6 trillion dollars tax cuts and deporting all illegal immigrants. You want to dig for coal in Pennsylvania? Trump is all for digging! You don't like medicare premium hike? Trump will get rid of it!
Next year, Le Pen will probably promise the French to get out of the EU, keep the Euro and have full access to the Single Market. Oh, some tax cuts too.

Apologies,work intranet has access to ft,ah well,no doubt nige will entertain us soon enough with other attempts at public service
too true, paradoxically I have great expectations of nige - if he brings the ugly racist agenda underlying much of brexit into the open"Service"?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/06/25/the-uncomfortable-question-was-the-brexit-vote-based-on-racism/
and joins the Tory's (he strikes me as the kind of opportunist con man that will not go away now that he can see what's behind that gold lift door)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/15/nigel-farage-hints-he-may-seek-to-rejoin-the-tories-as-sources-s/
and spreads some very disturbing division amongst them, he will have done some public service indeed.
Farage's attraction is he speaks the unspeakable.
The downside for the tories for having Farage rejoining them is he'll make the conservative unelectable.

There are lies, damned lies and Politicians

Trump just took credit for stopping Ford from moving a plant to Mexico. But it wasn’t planning to.
And fools voted for this man and made him president?
Ah well at least we can rely on the Honesty and integrity of our politicians.....
Well Nigel speaks highly of him, so that must count for something
