character building!!

don't get me wrong, I'm not saying his particular brand of protest appeals to me but I think fair play to people who get up and do something when they feel strongly about an issue. And if his kids are like mine, it won't affect them in the least but they will rip the piss out of him non stop...

according to their detractors at the time, yes. Just my opinion, but I'd say the suffragettes were on the right side of history, maybe in time, it will judge that these people were as well.

people used to use this sort of rhetoric against the suffragettes.

you seriously think Liam Fox wouldn't be shouting from the roof tops if he was the only minister connected with this shit show who had actually achieved his remit?

But we can negotiate new deals and have them ready to sign, we were told this would happen, quite clearly it hasn't and isn't going to, (which is to be expected when we don't know the terms of our exit), so when we leave the economy is going to take a battering. Government spending is already up...

it takes an average of 18 months to negotiate a trade deal and just short of 4 years to implement, (that's based on US negotiations with its partners). This has all been posted on this thread before but people just choose to ignore the facts.

I did leave, but I've revisited the thread. Didn't realise you were a moderator, you're quite welcome to ban me if so. And how much those continuity deals are worth is relevant, because not one of them is with a major economy, (perhaps with the exception of Switzerland and South Korea), which...

No. But as stated Liam Fox said there would be 40 ready to sign the day after the original March leaving date. By that time there were only 3 ready. So WTO terms with all but 3 countries until that was sorted. That's would seriously impact the economy.

I also said on this thread around the time Mays deal was floated I thought it was worse than no deal and agreed with what Rees mogg said about it. Probably the only time ive agreed with him Perhaps not initially but in the long term I think it would be worse.

What harm I they doing? People in this country have protested about all sorts of shit for centuries. Fair play to them. Sometimes it brings about great change, sometimes it achieves fuck all. And Brazil is burning, well, the Amazon rain forest, though I actually agree with Bolnasaro, us trying...

Brazil is burning. I don't think it will make any difference but at least they're trying. Can't knock anyone for that.

Part the reason I left this thread is it was going round in circles but I think it's fair to say that on at least a dozen occasions I asked what benefits there would be to operating almost entirely under WTO rules and none was forthcoming, (you're welcome to trawl through if you don't believe...

It's fairly counter productive to be honest. The heat emanating from the angry red faces of triggered Gammon must have pushed the temperature up significantly.

You get beer on prescription?!

All dogs can make mistakes as they can only work effectively for a fairly small window of time.

Liam Fox said there would be 40 trade deals waiting to be signed in March, there were 3. And there's no way they will be as favourable as the ones we had as an EU member. Would you give equal or better terms in a trade deal that gave you access to a market of 60 million over one that gave you...

“There is nothing in WTO rules that forces anyone to put up border posts,” said WTO spokesman Keith Rockwell on a visit to Dublin last week. “Someone has to bring a complaint and say that their interests have been hurt.” can't see it being long before such a...

what about all the other free trade deals we lose access to when we leave the EU?

they do make mistakes, I know someone that it's happened to at a festival. Imagine getting gloved just because Fido's having an off day?
