His poem is very moving. Glad he’s speaking out about it, it’s a very serious issue and very misunderstood.

Pure genius. I’m feeling guilty now as I’ve only eaten two fish since turning pescatarian. Clearly I’m not doing enough and letting the pescatarian community down :)

Saw the way Rees Mogg handled the situation today for the first time and his response to the media and have to say fair play to him, he’s handled it very well.

You gave two completely different reasons without acknowledging the connection. The way you originally put it it was down to a singular and you changed that singular. I’ve already told you why I brought it up. In fact I’ve also already pointed that out to you this evening and when you asked me...

I never said there was a single reason. I agree it was a multitude of factors and you have hit on some but then even a broken clock is right twice a day. You’ve missed the biggies though. Poor management, government interference and nationalisation. It goes back to the early 50’s and the arrival...

You’ve given two versions of why it went wrong. Which one are you sticking to? Answer me that and I’ll give you my opinion. I’ve already told you why I brought it up. Do you need a link? You shouldn’t because it’s in the post you’ve just replied to but I know you struggle with this.

It was an example of how we were once a manufacturing economy as apposed to the service economy we are now and why we are and will continue to be nett importers. Like I keep telling you. If you can’t keep up sit it out.

Which was on the previous page. If you seriously need a link to go back one page there really isn’t any helping you.

Not the term you used but you did say basically the same thing, just used different words.

I’m well aware of the short comings of the EU. I’ve pointed them out enough on here. You’ll say I haven’t but I’ve lost count the amount of times I have pointed out to you I have, sometimes that’s been multiple times on the same page you said that I haven’t. Happened 3 times just the other day...

Nothing to do with recovering from being a divided country reunified when the infamous iron curtain fell?

Have I even given an opinion on why? It’s you with two different versions. Maybe you should try and work out what you’re saying first before you try and work out what I’m saying.

You’ve blamed both the EU because in your words “it happened on their watch” and you’ve blamed the UK because we were building cars of poor quality, when we weren’t out on strike of course. Which version of your events was it? You can’t have it both ways. They contradict each other.

Presumably German industry was a wreck pre Euro then?

You’ve just spent god knows how many pages giving us your version of what the EU is. If you know what the EU is how can we be blindly staying? Blind is brexit. No one knows what it is. Even the ruling party has two warring factions arguing over what it is. There is no brexit vision. It’s all...

And now you’re saying it is the EU’s fault that the car industry collapsed in the U.K. I thought it was down to strike action and poor quality goods. Make your mind up.

More cars are sold worldwide than years gone by. What’s our share of that business as a percentage compared to years gone by? That’s the true measuring stick here. You forgot Nissan who has a factory in Sunderland.

So joining the EU didn’t wreck one of our biggest historical manufacturing industries but leaving is going to revive that industry? How exactly?

What did I blame on brexit exactly? I’m not wrong about British manufacturing. The nations we’re competing with in that list are the best of everyone else. We’ll always be also runs. Brexit isn’t going to change that one iota. You completely misunderstand the bigger picture. We simply don’t...

Talk about missing the point and putting words into people’s mouths. First of the report and predictions are full of ifs and buts. How does manufacturing compare as GDP to the days when we were a manufacturing powerhouse? Were we net importers or exporters back then? We’re never going to catch...
