    Oh cheer up for goodness sake. It's Christmas in a few weeks. Pour yourself a drink and watch something on the tele.

    You think. But you don't know! Maybe it will drop by another 10%. Our exporters will love that - and sure it will cost more to buy stuff. And? As usual - winners and losers. Who f*****g knows what the balance will be when the dust settles. Fact is you're alive in one of the most wealthy...

    Flecc - your mind is SO made up! There is not a chink of possibility that you could be wrong in your analysis. We've not even left and you're already SO sure of what you say. We don't sell the same products as the Germans for a start. And we sure build airports better than the Germans (look...

    Great stuff here from J Paxman on the situation: "Outside the Palace of Westminster on Thursday I saw the driver of a massive cement lorry wind down his window to bellow in an angry Geordie voice. His target? A rent-a-mob of anti-Brexitdemonstrators. ‘It’s about time you learned to respect the...

    Never touch a drop before 10am. Rules is rules.

    We can get 'fresh' food from as far away as New Zealand - refrigerated transport and all that. Plus just wait for all the wine we can get without those EU tariffs. Hic.

    OK Danidl - you sound like a reasonable person. But. The 'but' is you also sound like somebody who tends to see the glass half-empty rather than half full. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. But it strikes me from your overall tone that's how you see 'Brexit'. As do many many others I might...

    And you wonder why so many people voted leave. Because this is the attitude. That we are 'propaganda'. F888 Y** comes to mind.

    Nice analogy. One that fits your already-established premise of course. It ain't over yet. We still don't know what kind of Brexit will be delivered. I am hoping for the one we voted for. You know. One where we leave the EU. Not that I have much hope left. But I am optimistic by nature.

    Yeah - like I said - it was just a thought.

    That was hilarious huh? That UN 'inspector' came up with I think 30% of us living in poverty! AND PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS CRAP. Its like Health England saying 33% of our kids are obese. ALSO *******! Whatever.

    Small change. £9B? Ha. We'll get that back from what we don't have to pay the EU to stay in their club.

    You've obviously not been listening. If after all this you can not come up with one single reason the leave side have given for leaving - then I can be of no help to you.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The mistake many who did not vote for leave - is to think people who DID vote 'leave' did it for the money or for immigration. Talking to my friends who voted leave the majority it was something far less tangible than that. Of course it's summed up by the 'take back control' but even they/we...

    It ain't over till the ft lady sings and I don't see no fat lady singing yet. The next few weeks should be some of the most interesting ever (in my lifetime) in British politics. Nobody knows how this is going to turn out. Right now everybody is guessing. Oh sure - we all have our hunches -...

    'Dependence'? Huh? Just because we currently get 29% from there does not mean we are 'dependent'! Doh. It's that sort of blinkered thinking that got us here in the first place. Just because I get 100% of my food from the local shop does not mean I will die of hunger if it closes down - I...

    T. May needs to go. But who to replace her that's the tricky question!

    Right. What's all the fuss about (pause for incoming): ‘No deal’ merely means trading on WTO terms. Trade on WTO terms is the norm. 90 per cent of world trade is done on WTO terms. 60 per cent and rising of our trade with other countries is done on WTO terms. Our exports to the countries we...
