    I'm surprised 20% of people think Doris has handled it well. Or was it a survey of just 5 people and her husband was one of those asked?

    I think in such polls, 20% is the absolute bottom statistically for approval rating

    in reality it's more like 2%,

    we had the same problem with Hollande, he was stuck at 15% in approval rating, and eventually the polling agencies conceded it was an artificial low as the real number was more like 1.5%

    something to do as not "disrupting" the statistical curves in a time series

    ^Betty is himself a filthy immigrant, having long since abandoned the UK for foreign shores and a foreign wife.

    doesn't matter, Brexit is not about economics, it's about independence and being in charge of your economic future, no matter how fucked up and incompetent your politicians are
    How can Brexit be both a) "not about economics," and also be about b) "independence and being in charge of your economic future"?

    Quite simply, whoever controls your currency and economic policy controls you.

    Now I believe some Belgian pillow talk is in order.

    I'm surprised disapproval is that low. It was not Brexit per se that triggered the farce, but the absurdity of devoted Remainers supervising it.

    Anyway Societe Generale gives £ at $1.50 and $1.20 on deal and no deal.

    Your eyes must be painted on BuffaloBoy

    Here is the exact same graph/table again with the 2018 growth data that shows Brexit has caused the UK to have the worst economic growth of all EU countries except Italy. 2018 is in the past, it's not a forecast, although the forecast is equally gloomy and for good reason as it's based on previous data:



    @BuffaloBoy, with your limited grasp of basic grammar you probably didn't spot the text below was in the past tense as it refers to UK growth in 2018?

    That does not pull the UK much off the bottom of the G7 league table for annual growth; the UK sat just above Italy in the second quarter. Financial Times research has shown that by the end of the first quarter, the UK economy was between 1 and 1.5 per cent smaller than it would have been without the Brexit vote, although some independent estimates, such as a recent report from the Centre for European Reform, suggest the hit could have been as large as 2.5 per cent.


    Table of 2018 UK growth data...

    ----------


    Not a forecast...

    Warming up, with the EC declaring that in the event of a no deal Dublin would have to install a hard border. Looks like the Brit farce is contagious, since every organ of the vile beast is on record confirming that there cannot be and will not be a hard border. But nothing anyone says matters any more, because Frau has put her hoof down to insist the single market must not be compromised, even to maintain peace on the island.

    Oh yes and as ever it comes with a threat, that if Ireland fails to police its own borders the EU would have no choice but to take action to protect the single market with its own hard border and, surprise surprise, punitive action against Ireland for defying the rulez.

    Otherwise, according to the Belgian, no not our one the MEP Lamberts, the Brits would have an open door into the SM, and zis must not be allowed!

    Gets better, Javid says the tech is available and can be implemented to keep the border frictionless, but Ireland won't (or has been told not to) engage with London on the matter.

    All part of the game to whip up fear and hysteria, since the EU relish a no deal just as much as HMgov, which is why it will not happen and 'clarifications', er, concessions will be drip fed until Frau deems it is enough to slip through Parliament.

    I like to consider myself an economic tourist...

    Anyways, much better cheering on Brexit from afar just incase it all goes tits up (which I'm sure it won't)... What is truly pathetic though is the weakness, the weak-mindedness of folks who allow the EU/globalist scaremongering to become their dogmatic cliches.

    Do you think it's unreasonable for the EU to implement & protect its borders?

    You'd be the first one to accuse it of bending over backwards because of the looney PC liberals, if it didn't.

    That's the queue to stowaway on a UK bound lorry.

    They must be so happy to hear Maybot's announcement that no additional border checks will be made following Brexit.

    ...what was the main reason for people voting leave?

    Would be nice if the EU had bothered to protect its borders, but seems they were fine with hundreds of thousands crossing the Med and streaming into Italy and Greece. If only they had the same attitude as they do towards the UK and people still wonder why we are leaving.

    The 19-mile belt of Petite Ceinture has been derelict for several decades and its possible redevelopment has long sparked debate among environmentalists and entrepreneurs. Then, shortly after the migrant crisis hit Europe, the squatter’s camp took root.

    How will the UK leaving the EU stop people from stowing away on lorries or crossing the channel on dingies?

    Try thinking it through; the EU have said it is not feasible to have a hard border and quote, "under no circumstances would we impose a hard border...," and their study went further to say it is not possible to have a hard border, Ireland and the UK concur, while EU rules insist on a hard border between EU and non-EU.

    Without bitching about who would be first to accuse the EU of anything, what do you think is 'reasonable'?

    The height of nuttiness if you ask me, imagine risking your life to escape from a stable and prosperous Europe to reach a sinking ship. Someone should wise them up, I nominate the Belgian.

    Didn't you bother to ask Nigel for clarification before voting leave?
