I’ll take my chances with Boris Absolutely, anyone but hunt. Same problems as with May if he got in. That other remaining chap has just withdrawn. Good chap.

Theresa the appeaser didn’t work out too well (unless you voted remain) and maybe it’s time we went another tack. Where as good old Boris sticks to his principles He spunked 45m on consultation on a bridge that only he, his mate Joanna Lumley and her architect mate wanted Plus the water cannons Plus lying down in front of bulldozers for Heathrow expansion The bloke is a continual opportunist And the so called Boris bikes weren't his idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinell! I'd heard him a while back saying he would accept a delay if a deal was close and just needed a bit of time to be ratified. I could go with that, but not a delay until one is achieved. We'd go on ad infinitum! Must have been strong stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rees Mogg is clearly on the best stuff though, seamless how he pulls that act off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has said Ms Sturgeon "refuses to accept the result" of the EU referendum "because she lost it", adding that "democracy will be damaged fundamentally" if politicians "change the rules after the event". Sounds familiar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU know a Brexiteer will be more than likely taking over negotiations, I’d guess that the backstop will miraculously not now be required and that’ll confirm it was just a tactical negotiating ploy from the EU as Brexiteers had argued from the outset.

You spin me right round like a record. The article quoted says the technology to deliver what ‘we’ are demanding does not exist. This also does not address the concerns raised about both sides in Ireland accepting what technology is available. Where are you on my question re what the WTO terms will be that you think we should accept ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know I said there will be a deal done don’t you? So in my opinion it won’t come to that.

True but they quoted in this thread as good news from a Brexit supporter. My reply was giving balance. The thing that bores me most with this debate is one side claiming good news is down to their side and bad news down to the others. Just a distraction from the substance.

Tricky on that, some are, some aren't - I guess the current situation will benefit some more than others. Maybe now is the time to "be bold" if you've got the cash and the balls to do it. We've just decided we're going power on and have just commissioned a new £10m+ warehouse facility in Poland (we'll eventually shut down the UK one, once we leave the EU), conversely some of our direct competitors are sitting still and waiting to see how everything plays out. Hopefully we'll be sitting pretty once everything is sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
