Seriously hoping that this one is a joke.

Like I said. I’m involved in purchasing and aside from 10 years of my working life when I worked on building sites I always have been. In manufacturing and wholesaling. Because of that I’ve been on numerous courses for purchasing over the years and by and large they’re all based on Toyota...

Toyota invented it in the 70’s for the purpose of cash flow. Even in its earliest incarnations it doesn’t predate what we now call the EU.

Not even what I said. A typical response from you when you can’t argue the point so you attack the man. Even if you have to make things up to do it.

More than the likes of Boris and Rees-Mogg by the looks of it. I work in the manufacturing industry, not on the scale of a car factory but the principals are the same. I’m responsible for purchasing goods and some of them come from outside of the EU and I have to factor in every possibility when...

Do you schedule based on the assumption that the consignment is going to fly through customs or schedule just in case it gets pulled for a full inspection? Just so you know if it gets pulled that’s an unknown quantity. It’s happened a few times on goods we’ve imported at work and it’s averaged...

I’m not mocking them I’m pointing out that they have access in all but name to the single market and it benefits them. Boris is trying to hoodwink people by using them as an example of why a hard brexit will be OK, he’s then mocking the chequers plan in the next breath at the same time saying...

Will almost certainly result in additional costs. Free movement of goods are critical with JIT manufacturing. The alternative is stockpiling which means investment in material, investment in infrastructure to hold those materials and investment in capital because materials have to be bank rolled...

Festival of Brexit! Heard it all now. Might end up being a wake.

Used an example of why it will work using the aero industry where one of the two movements of goods happened within the single market so goods arrived JIT in Derby from Berlin and then used Switzerland which is all but in name in the single market (not sure what Switzerland makes apart from...

Brexit warning from investment firm co-founded by Rees-Mogg

He was cornered on question time on Thursday by one of the other panielists as to why he’s felt it necessary to open an office in Dublin for his investment firm. He started going on about it being an international business having offices in New York, Sydney etc. All offices in different time...

Yeah, you “think”. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more.

I think that’s the mighty boofing.

Otis tried it once and found it alright for kicks but now he’s found out that it’s a habit that sticks, he’s a boofing addict. Never heard of it either. What is it?

I’ve read your reply several times now and I just can’t see how what you’ve got to say is coherent or relevant to my post. Did you reply to the wrong post by accident?

You could be right but that’s not to say that he doesn’t have a popular following. Not necessarily from within the Tory party core membership but a lot of the public that voted leave certainly like him. And why wouldn’t they, he’s telling them what they want to hear even if he isn’t 100%...

Who is going to get the result they wanted exactly? Those that voted leave expecting a hard brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a Canada brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a Canada+ Brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a chequers plan brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a...

It was never going to be any other way. Welcome to the reality that is brexit. By the way you brought the BBC into the thread as a sideshow not me.

Not me. Are you twisting the truth again?
