You think Leave should have just abandoned their campaign pledges as soon as they won in the referendum? Quote “Our trade will almost certainly continue with the EU on similar to current circumstances…The reality is that the hard-headed, pragmatic businessmen on the continent will do everything to ensure that trade with Britain continues uninterrupted.” David Davis, speech, 26 May 2016 “The EU’s supporters say ‘we must have access to the Single Market’. Britain will have access to the Single Market after we vote leave”. Vote Leave, What Happens When We Vote Leave? “there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market”, Boris Johnson, The Telegraph, 26 June 2016 "It should be win-win for us and it will be if we vote to leave and we can maintain free trade, stop sending money and also have control of our borders", Michael Gove, BBC, 8 May 2016 “The idea that our trade will suffer…is silly”, Vote Leave, What Happens When We Vote Leave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran00001 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Get ready for the panic people, just don't also panic, leave the panic to them, they will represent your panic for you in parliament. Quote “I think Theresa is going to go into a phase where we are much more combative with Brussels,” Johnson was recorded saying. “You’ve got to face the fact there may now be a meltdown OK? I don’t want anybody to panic during the meltdown. No panic. Pro bono publico, no bloody panic. It’s going to be all right in the end.” https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-johnson/brace-for-a-possible-brexit-meltdown-but-dont-panic-johnson-says-buzzfeed-idUSKCN1J40LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuamRudy Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 My business partner is just back from a DTI/EU sponsored Meet the Buyer event for UK exporters and Asian importers in London. He reported significant consternation about the ongoing uncertainties amongst many of the UK companies he met with, with a general hesitation amongst the other Asian buyers present. Something particularly resonant, I thought, was that several companies told him that they would prefer payment in euros. On the upside - good to see the EU still supporting British business. I was attending Thaifex in Bangkok last week and was struck by the almost total absence of English companies exhibiting there. There was a Scottish pavilion, Italian, German, Spanish sectors, but I was unable to find a single English company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If May is a remainer and trying to scupper Brexit, why has her leadership not been challenged by Johnson or Rees Mogg before? She has been weak and on the back foot for months. Really easy pickings but all Johnson and RM do is praise and back her. Are they really that lily livered and pathetic? I've given my opinion on why this is happening time and time again, but for some reason still need to keep repeating it! May along with 99% of MPs prefer to remain within the eu, as does 'big business' and the establishment. Suprise suprise, they're coming up with an ever softer version of brexit..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more.... There is a very good reason, it's in their interest.... They are quite happy to still ignore why the leave vote happened.... Edit - you may trust the govt. and their 'experts' - but many of us realised long ago that they are only concerned about their own interests.

Politicians aren't overly intelligent and are in the 'same boat' as the rest of the population in having little idea about 'important issues'. Hence MPs supporting Blair's WMD claims - although perhaps it's possible, that they knew the claims were false - but supported the attack as they knew it would increase their popularity? Surely not (ha ha) Plus, like 90% (?) of the population they only care about themselves. Brexit has been made complicated as the eu has no intention of negotiating - and the uk govt. has acquiesed to all their demands. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, apart from the "good of the country" bit. The workers and the wealthy have a very different perspective on the"good of the country' - hence the brexit vote. But of course you're welcome to believe that the "good of the country" is reliant on the wealth of the wealthy, and everyone else is irrelevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
