To pick up on anti-immigration sentiments, remember, Boris Johnson wasn't even born in the country. (Which would disqualify him if we applied USA constitutional rules regarding presidency to PM-hood.)

Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Yes a clean break, perhaps what YOU voted for,but don't speak for the 17million others who had a spectrum of views. Unless the Brexit Party achieves 50.1% of ALL votes cast in the in the UK European Parliament elections,you are manifestly WRONG.
Meaning the Adam Smith institute on behalf of Trump
You may as well sell your grandmother too, and make a job of it
Because people voted for brexit doesn't mean they want conservative rule, far from it!

On the voting paper it didn't say 'leave with a deal' or anything like that - it just said: Leave or Stay.
We voted to leave. So get on with it and honour your promise.
This is not rocket science.
Not really. What is important - is how the 17.4m have been treated thus far after winning a vote to leave the EU. You keep getting pulled away from this basic point. This is why Farage is back. This is why the Tory party and Labour are both in such a mess. They are trying to duck out of the promise they made.
When you try to duck out of promises you made your life turns to shi t.

Dave - if you tax too much companies will set up their base somewhere else. We are in competition with other countries. So go ahead and force these companies pay massive amounts of tax - or do the same with wealthy individuals - and watch them literally walk out the door.Once a Labour Government gets in and tells the utility companies there is going to be a "windfall tax" on profits the shares will drop to the floor.
More money for the NHS won't solve all the problems but it won't make it worse.
When Mrs May said on TV that Cutting the Police force by 20,000 didn't have an effect on crime she must have been the only person in the country to think this.
Companies such as Amazon have been getting away with paying too little tax for too long, Any company operating in this country should pay tax on a percentage of turnover if they try to avoid paying what they owe by using dubious methods.
Starbucks Don't make a profit here because they pay too much for their coffee beans...….But they buy their coffee beans from a company abroad that they own. A ten percent tax on turnover would soon sort that scam out.
Read this about Starbucks, It stinks.
Starbucks 'paid just £8.6m UK tax in 14 years'
US coffee giant Starbucks reportedly paid just £8.6m in corporation tax in the UK over 14 years and nothing in the last three years.www.bbc.co.uk
It's all a compromise. There is an ideal level of taxation and if you go above it you actually bring in less tax than if you had lower tax rates. We discovered this in the 1970s will Labour party's 90%+ tax rates. I think the actual ideal top rate is around 54%.
Huh? How many other countries can we buy steel from huh? Fu cking hundreds. You're such a fool sometimes. Do you not realise this is where markets come into play - Sheesh. Whatever.
I agree but the likes of Amazon and Starbucks won't set up somewhere else...I don't want them to pay extra tax, Just to pay what they owe and if they can't be trusted to pay tax on profits, tax them on turnover. If you or I did what the big companies are doing, we would end up in jail for tax evasion.

And seeing as on typical polling about 7% of Brits consider themselves 'European' that would have been an utterly ineffective slogan.
So you don't give a damm about keeping contract law intact if the company concerned is 'Australian'. Have you no idea how important it is to have integrity at an International level on stuff like this?
Do you want to turn us into the Russians where they tear up legal contracts whenever the Mafia boss of that area insists? Which is how come almost nobody will do business with Russia anymore.
You want that to happen here?
Because that is what WILL HAPPEN if Labour fail to honour the most basic of contract laws we have. London is known for being trustworthy around this stuff - has been for centuries. You want to tear centuries of trust up like that?
Without honouring our agreements we are LITERALLY NOTHING - not worthy of any consideration AT ALL.
You are correct. Rocket Science is logical. I will further agree with yiu that when these politicians realised that Brexit was a Crock of..... ,they should have come clean with the Public. The British are not fools, they would probably have forgiven anyone honest enough to have leveled with them.
No they will vote for the biggest liars, not realising Brexit is worth far more to swindlers than it will ever be to them
Lovely answer. Tell that to the Fiat family in Italy,who bartered their engineering expertise for Russian Steel ,giving them what was the Lada,based on a very good Fiat 131 , and getting a steel which rusted a generation of Alfas and Fiats in return. Without control of your raw materials ,you are subjected to others market forces...
Sheesh. The chip on your shoulder is the size of that black hole they say is out there a trillion miles away. What is your problem? Why so negative? There are always people swindling others. You always take the negative view. I am talking about genuine wealth creators - Apple, Google, Facebook - and the small guys too who set up a small business and through finding a gap in the market bring something new and useful to everybody. But to you its always about the dark negative aspects - how anybody who's got some money must have got it by some terrible means. You're damaged. Really. Always so negative. On and on and on you go. Never seeing anything other than people swindling other people. What a horrible experience to have all the time.
