    We don't know what will provide opportunities for the next generation - it's all guesswork.

    Not so long ago, you were saying that going out of Europe would deprive opportunities for the next generation...

    I suspect, having global trade opportunities, dealing increasingly with Asia and developing markets aswellas US and Europe will be the best option; being inside teh EU limits that possibility; being outside the EU enables the opportunity, but looking at the quality of our politicians one isn't filled with optimism.

    Doris truly is batshit crazy as she continues to think and believe that the public actually want her deal. Who is the woman listening to as no one leaver or remoaner wants her deal. The woman really is pathetic is trying to please everyone but just pissing everyone off same goes for Corbyn either come out for a clean Brexit or back remain and fuck all this middle of the road bullshit that no one wants. Looking like only hope now in the event of a Doris/Corbyn deal is that enough MPs defect from both parties making the country ungovernable and a GE.

And it's people like you, who have wanted and called for the overturning of the result of the referendum, that have encouraged and facilitated the traitors in parliament.

    If Thatcher was PM in 2016 we would have been out in 2017.

    An intensely naive May had delusions of grandeur; she entered negotiations with the best negotiators money can buy, on a strategy that offers everything from word go in the hope that the other side reciprocates. Barnier couldn't believe his luck...just sign here, here, here and here, please...

    I do believe she ought to be sectioned.

    She obviously learnt nothing if she read the ex-Greek Finance Minister's book.

    If you think the above post in any way corresponds with reality then maybe you are the one needing sectioned.

    Are you trying to say the EU haven't got everything they want from the deal? You really are clueless. Has it not crossed your mind that there is a reason one side unanimously agreed the deal and the other side cant get it through parliament.

    It's because the EU is realistic, competent and organised ...while the Tories are a disorganised shitshow trying to push an utter fantasy( conjured up by madman, opportunists and the poorly educated ) through parliament.

    Be careful what you say the twink may be motivated to bash his current wife as he has done in the past. He was missing for months and is most likely just out of jail.

    I had a taste of the German unions and it was too bitter. They are against anyone earning more than their petty minded little bosses and have restricted me to a 35-hour week. Silly buggers will have to employ another 5 people now to cover that little mistake.

    They did their job as they saw fit. The removal of the UK from the EU is not as simple as some seem to think. Even Farage has no real plan about how to achieve it successfully, but he doesn't need one. Once the UK leaves his job is done and he can sit back with a big smile and watch. There's one thing talking about it and another actually putting it into practice.

    Been there, done that and got the T-shirt. Actually the US culture and work ethics is much closer to the UK one than the EU is. The exception is that, like the EU, the US tend to pay their engineers rather well.

    If Maggie Thatcher had been PM there would not have been a referendum. She was far too astute to have allowed one in the first place.

    If Thatcher had been PM Maastricht would never have been signed thus the call for a referendum and leaving the EU would never have grown so much.

    I think you are mistaken, the educated and highly skilled workforce is not the issue here, I am talking about basic workforce, the lazy one and the chavs. They could get away with it with the EU, but that won't work in the US.

    While in Thailand I never seen so many incompetent and lazy British people claiming to have jobs and actually doing fook all except getting pissed and playing pools.

    Because us Brits are an entrepreneurial lot, we can find a way to make money using minimal of our time so still got plenty of time to get pissed and play pool. Obviously this doesn't apply to all Brits, TEFLers being a prime example.
