If nothing else it’s enforced my decision to become a vegetarian. God bless brexit. I think chicken in a can should be the official meal of Brexit day.

She’s already tried the no deal bluff anyway. Cabinet meetings telling her cabinet to prepare for no deal brexit ect. Unless we are going (although the boat sailed months and months ago) to start spending money in preparation for a no deal brexit its a bluff that was always going to be called...

One aspect. It’s also a very simplistic view of recruiting a customs officer. First of you’ve got to find 5000 people with the right basic qualifications. You have to train them, that’s a cost. Issue uniforms, that’s a cost. Place the infrastructure required their workplace, that’s a cost ect...

We can look at just one aspect if you like. Customs. It’s been suggested that in a no deal scenario we’ll need another 5000 customs officers. A quick search shows that average wage of a customs officer is £16-£26K per year. That’s going to mean £80-£130M a year in wages alone just to try and...

So, how much would preparing for a no deal cost?

The simple answer is that if WTO was so good you wouldn’t have countries seeking trade deals with other countries outside of WTO.

Insults. If you don’t like it when someone points out that a question mark at the end of the sentence means it’s a question not a statement how’s that an insult? I’ve never been asked to take part in a political opinion poll so I couldn’t tell you how they work exactly. Hence the question. The...

The deal with the trust was done and they were on route to sign it when they got the call from the administrator that they were being gazumped. It was the only time that they feel the FL helped them when they refused to give the golden share to the other party. When you see the chancers they’d...

Sure. I asked a question. That’s what a question mark at the end of a sentence denotes. Now do you understand? Another question, hence the question mark again.

I’d imagine that Ken Clarke serving in government has something to do with it also.

Opinion polls are normally conducted of the electoral roll aren’t they?

So a massive majority is allowed to change its mind but a small majority isn’t?

No one would deserve it more.

If Brexit does get cancelled what’s the odds on Rees-Mogg closing his newly opened Hedge Fund office in Dublin?

Any second referendum should be Canada + or Norway +. The plus being the stuff needed for the Irish Border and protection of the GFA.

A pro leave panellists on question time the other week tried to claim that question time is pro remain because there was one more remainer on that weeks panel. Dimbleby as sharp as ever quoted him the numbers of pro leave to pro remain panellists since the referendum and it was very much in...

He can vote in council elections, not general or referendum. Assuming that he hasn’t become a British citizen since he’s been here.

Only one, like I said earlier. Driving down to London in his brand new German car fighting for Britain. I know how brexiteers like a WW2 analogy, Dunkirk spirit and all that. So it’s the equivalent of Douglas Bader flying Messerschmitts in the Battle of Britain having personally purchased it the...

Haven’t seen it. I’ll have a look for it.

Once was enough. When the video of the entire march is that short you tend to get all the details first time. Lots of people proudly waving the Union Jack oblivious to the fact it’s a flag of a political union while demonstrating about a political union. Lots of mouth breathers repeating the...
