If you're referring to Cameron and co, you can keep him firmly on the right where he belongs, thanks. I didn't see any condescension or insults coming from the leader of the Labour Party or the leader of the Greens.

Precisely. The problem is that for a lot of remain supporters, the world seemingly ended on 24th June and they just don't want to move on from that. Will you be happy with that, Yes or No.. Are you now a soft brexiter ?. |

So you now expect May to back down and compromise as part of the negotiations.

Nothing about the country miring itself in the mucky world of money laundering and tax evasion. Until now that sort of stuff went on abroad and was to be frowned on. Evading UK taxes does harm to the UK but if we were out of the EU then evading EU taxes wouldn't really be a problem for us. In fact a lot of expat Hollywood celebrities and others have based themselves in London rather than France before today so that they didn't have to pay French residence taxes. Johnny Depp was one example. |

Here's another one (and incidentally the man at the front of the picture did a lot more harm than good to his cause IMHO). http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cps...31_capture.jpg |

I thought the UK was going to restore itself to the once-great trading nation it formerly was by striking lucrative free trade deals with all the countries outside the EU queueing up to burst through the door and sign the papers once Article 50 negotiations are complete. That's what was promised - not for the UK to try to worm itself back in to the single market by any means and if that fails turn itself into a fiscal paradise on the EU's doorstep. What happened there? |
