There was an hour queue for the cloakroom at the Xmas do. 

The Thursday bar nights only has free drinks for an hour.

The free breakfast bar ends at 9.30 - then you have to pay and then they only subside it

They keep giving out free tickets to Spurs matches - even if you don’t support them

You have to bring your own Nespots in.

Fizzy water on tap is only available on one floor - the rest of us have to make do with ice cold still and boiling water at the push of one button.

Free fruit is sometimes gone by 11am each day

The struggle is real.

A good Lancashire lad (with more money than Donald Trump) speaks.

Willing to get out the cheque book to finance a political party with Leave as it's major policy.

Leaving leave in the hands of Remainers was always a road to nowhere.

If Corbyn gets in an re nationalises the Energy companies how many tens of thousands will he need to make redundant? You won’t need sales for a start as it will be a closed shop, loads more will lose their jobs as it’s all consolidated 

Apparently it’s fine for him to do it if he is bringing down energy prices for all but wasn’t that exactly what thatcher did in the 80’s? Refused to subsidies expensive British Coal when we could buy it cheaper elsewhere 

For some reason we romanticise industries like Steel, Mining and fishing even though they deliver fuck all to the country in the grand scheme of things (relatively speaking)

Yet many don’t give a fuck if service sector jobs like Banking, Sales or Marketing are at risk that drive a huge proportion of our economy

This whole Brexit malarkey is an utter shambles.  We should cancel A51 and have another referendum once the dust has settled.  Then those running the leave campaign can put together a proper fucking plan and we can vote with something tangible on both sides of the argument.

Those who want Brexit can't agree with each other. So you'd have at least 3 plans. It isn't viable to do that.

Only course of action I can see is May will try and get concessions from EU and then come back to Parliament. But she's already said time and time and time again "this is the best it can be". So if she does that she's lied, openly, time and time and time again. Not to mention the Brexit secretary yesterday said "100% vote goes ahead on Tuesday". Another lie.

I think best option is a vote on May's deal vs remain. Because she's said for months "its the best we can get". Lets test that.

That's assuming the EU are prepared to re enter into discussions again.

No point presenting something to people that the EU won't agree to.

Bottling bitch

She's hung her ministers out to dry sending them out on Sunday to proclaim "the vote is 100% happening", only to change at the final minute.

Can you imagine an election where May and Corbyn are the choices? I think it would be a national disaster. I can't see how anyone in good faith could vote Labour or Tory with these fools running the show. Shame is that nobody in either party has enough backbone to actually get rid of them and start again.

This is impossible to sort out by Parliament alone so this has to go back to the country with two choices... TM's deal or Remain

Two or three choices; TM deal, no deal, and perhaps another "Canada" deal.

Try it and go with it. If in forty years or so, it's not working, then have another in/out referendum.

You can't offer non-negotiated deals - it is just meaningless. You have to have a deal on the table agreed with the EU - and say to the public "do you want this, no deal or remain". In some way that doesn't disadvantage any outcome.

Offering a hypothetical deal is pointless.

She's off back to Europe for further clarification over the backstop.

Also bollocking labour and the extreme elements. "Put up" basically.

Guess we'll see just what transpires.

Its an embarrassing climb down. Her position is completely untenable now.

how the bollocks does that work

you could have 66 per cent voting for the leave options and still end up staying
