bwfcfan5 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I love that one of the Breakaway Labour MPS who said they didn't want to be in a racist party has already had to apologise for racism on live TV on hours after leaving.... I sometime wonder if this is all an elaborate joke and a massive episode of yes minister playing out in real time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a covenient excuse for them but the number of companies folding or relocating is starting to stack up. flybmi (not flybe) have lost money every single year of their existance, they have subsidised every passenger over the last 7 years to the sum of £20 each. Its easier (and less embarrasing) for their board to blame brexit rather than their own failings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Brexit was a factor but not the reason for them going under, as is the case in a number of companies who are struggling with the uncertainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted February 18, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2019 If Honda are saying it ISN'T brexit to blame, that's no better really. Either way, they are sheddiing 3,000 jobs and there's no sign of a replacement company to pick that up. Britain is being slowly scaled back by big foreign investors/manufacturers.

TM has no intention of negotiating a better WA, Parliament will try to block a no deal so if Cooper and her mates attempt to take control of Parliament the only way out will be another General Election to realign, I suspect Conservatives will be a leave party and Labour will not, then we’ll see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are someone who didn't vote for Brexit and doesn't want Brexit. Yet your told to suck up potential food shortages, medicine shortages and poor economic performance projections...... I get that if you really want Brexit you might put up with some things being shit for a bit. If you didn't vote for it though and don't want it, you must see why people don't want their lives turning to shit?

We’ve been through this before especially with Jaguar.... The global industry is slowing....but let’s blame Brexit....even though the new kid on the block Honda doesn’t leave until 2021....if it was that bad,they’d be gone by now.

jules_darby Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well, I heard the presser this morning in my car and I have to say that as someone who’s never been entrenched in any of the main parties, it was the best thing I’ve heard in fucking ages in this utterly ridiculous political age we’re in. I hope they don’t call bi-elections, get their shit together and somehow it actually leads to us fixing this broken system where no fucker is happy and no party is fit to rule anything. Fair fucks to ‘em. I like Chuck too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't to be fair. It is everything to do with a shrinking market and the fact that they have no need for a plant here or anywhere else in Europe anymore. There are lots of things you can pin on Brexit but this isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for a further shock, I actually think Chucka isn’t too bad either. There’s plenty who are better than the main headliners and he’s one of them.

He’s pretty confident they’ve something up their sleeves in the next few days in terms of defectors and funding. Same re the vote the other night, most instantly picked up on Chucka’s comments re what he thought when he joined the Labour Party....the commentator/interviewer knew instantly he was planning to leave Labour. As I’ve said many times, when Labour was Labour, I was always a Labour man and voter. Couldn’t vote for them though under pissy pants and the dumb racist Abbott.
