Meanwhile, Norton has gone into administration. Significance? Well its boss was all for Brexit and how much better the company would be afterwards. That was back in 2016...the first to bite the dust.

Troy, was Brexit to blame for all the other times Norton failed, or is just that its a high priced niche product that struggles to make a decent ROI.
Well, it seems the lower end that is the Brexit demographic have certainly struck gold in voting for the Nationalist Orc Party to champion their stupidity.
Crazy Goebbels Cummings and BoJo the Clown in pumping up their Kipper rhetoric in readiness for the EU negotiations have once again shown the markets that they are incompetent buffoons who don't seem to know the difference between their Madras and their Elba. They want a Canada style deal, but this would not include services, 80% of the UK's economy, or a deal similar to the deal with Australia except there is one slight wee problemette there ......there is no FTA deal with Australia, only an EPA that is under negotiation. The markets have judged these hapless proto-fascists and the £ has now fallen from $1.32 back to $1.30. Oh dear. The thing is, these putative deals are not a patch on the unfettered trade Britain had under EU membership and the world knows this in much the same way the world knows Britain cannot make up the shortfall by increasing global trade given the UK makes fuck all except niche products and its European markets were a natural fit for these given their proximity - a not inconsiderable fact illustrated by the reality 48% of the UK's manufacturing output found a home in the EU. No wonder the £ devalued again when The Clown opened his gob yesterday.
Oh, and of course yesterday gave us all another vivid little insight into just how "democratic" the Clown and his Goebbels Svengali truly are. Their gopher press officer was told by Goebbels Dom to exclude journalists they didn't like from the press call at Downing Street. Unlike this fascist trash government, the British press are not so craven and they all walked out in solidarity with their colleagues excluded from the conference.
Poor BoJo, the narcissistic sociopath has no class at all.
Yes, I do regret blaming brexit for Norton’s demise now.
Oh wait!
What an utterly feeble post even by your standards, wozza.
We are still in the post remainer period, a time where, like the last 2-3 years all bad news is Brexit related. This will last for the next 5 years a time in which the UK will slip down the world economic rankings to 23rd place, the pound will be worth 80c to Dorrah and the Basic State Pension will have to be cut to £85 a week - thank god some have made provision to live abroad.
The UK is about to cool off, just like the Earth will when its flat side faces away from the sun.
'Happy Brexit Day' Norwich flat residents unite to show support
3 Feb 2020
Residents at a block of flats where "Happy Brexit Day" notices appeared have pinned up positive messages which express togetherness.
The notices, which demand residents speak only English, were spotted at Winchester Tower in Norwich on Friday.
On Sunday, about 50 people met at the block to say it was a "multicultural building and everybody was welcome".
Norwich City Council said it would "not tolerate" the behaviour of those behind the original signs.
The signs were posted on the fire doors on all 15 floors of Winchester Tower
The UK left the European Union at 23:00 GMT on Friday after 47 years of membership, following a referendum in 2016.
The typed pages, which were posted on all 15 floors, said: "We finally have our great country back."
They also add: "We do not tolerate people speaking other languages than English in the flats.
"If you do want to speak whatever is the mother tongue of the country you came from then we suggest you return to that place and return your flat to the council so they can let British people live here."
'Happy Brexit Day' signs say 'only speak English'
Brexit's happened... so what now?
UK begins new chapter outside European Union
After a speech in London, Boris Johnson was asked by a Greek journalist whether he condemned the notices, and he replied: "Yeah, I do."
The prime minster continued: "Of course I think it is a wonderful thing that people should learn English and people living here for a long time should definitely do that and they should be helped to do that and we put a lot of money into people learning English for speakers of other languages.
"But the idea you propose [of the notices] is certainly new to me and I have not heard that one."
A resident who lives in the block on Vauxhall Street reported the signs - which have since been taken down - to police.
Norfolk Police said the matter was being treated as "a racially aggravated public order incident".
A spokeswoman said no arrests had been made and inquiries were ongoing.

^ Norwich, flat earth there - ask Armstrong and TG.
I hate Norwichers...
The majority vote was essentially derived from those who are institutionally disposed to xenophobia, ignorance and stupidity, and their prejudices and bigotry were in fact validated by the rhetoric and propaganda churned out by the Kipper/right wing Tory trash. Whereas before such scum were hesitant to express their resentment the Brexit "win" has released them from their inhibitions and they are encouraged to demonstrate their new found pride in lumpen nationalism and jingoism
Brexit was always about the lower classes blaming foreigners for their grievances.
BoJo et al merely capitalised on this which is why I hope England suffers greatly.
please people, calm down, Brexit didn't happen totally yet
first stage first, the most important one, you have been neutered politically, no more votes for you fookers
you want to go Hard Brexit in 10 months, go ahead and we will have fun

I rather think you meant to write "neutered", not "nurtured".
what is Boris trying to accomplish? impress the EU or Barnier?
Brexit: Boris Johnson says 'no need' for UK to follow EU rules on trade - BBC News
Boris Johnson has set out his vision for a trade deal with the EU, saying there is "no need" for the UK to follow Brussels' rules.
The PM called for a Canada-style free trade deal, saying the UK would return to the Withdrawal Agreement if such a deal was not reached.
But the EU's Michel Barnier said its "ambitious" trade deal offer required a "level playing field".
Labour said Mr Johnson's "ideology had trumped common sense".
The party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said the PM risked trade and investment in the UK if he kept "undermining collective agreements".
Under the EU-Canada deal, import tariffs on most goods have been eliminated between the two countries, though there are still customs and VAT checks.
The flow of services, such as banking - which is much more important for the UK - between Canada and the EU are much more restricted.
Buttfly, its Australia lite and its all good. As i said the committee won't do anything until after their budget farce has played out in june/july and the size of the increase to ze yermans in known, even then the lunches will continue until early Dec before they have a concensus with the net-beneficiary nations all 20 odd of them. Still at least the alcoholic has gone along with the new Scottish champion Tusk. Python ......is back.
can you try in English, not in chav speak?
He's simply regurgitating piffle waffle drivel churned out by Brexit lickspittles.
The market certainly didn't like the Tory Orc Clown's drivel yesterday and the £ is now back to $1.29 and 40.10 baht.
The point of course continually ignored by all the Brexit nazis and their publicists is that the services sector is not given significant access to the EU under any trade deal negotiated by the Canucks or the Ockers, or indeed any other fucking trade deal. Services is a club benefit for which member states pay an annual fee to administer. And that's that.
Now, if the Tory Orcs go for WTO or Canada/Ocker/Timbuctoo Lite, Medium or Heavy/whatever, and forsake financial services access to Europe's markets and quota-less/tariff free trade with the EU as a whole, then the UK will be losing an annual £60 billions, minimum, contribution to its GDP. That ain't a forecast, it's a fact.
Sterling will be devalued by this without a doubt and as imports rise in price so will the pressure on the currency as tax revenue falls commensurate with the increasing statutory credit squeeze enforced by the banks and the slump in manufacturing, domestic consumption and confidence continues.
Remember, it was BoJo the Clown who told May to "fuck business". His words, no-one else's. He has never had to work in his life other than as a dilettante reporter and columnist writing whimsical copy for an audience of over-educated, self-entitled twits indulging themselves on inherited trust funds derived from tax avoidance schemes.
There are over 10 million folk dependent on manufacturing, trade and businesses for their livelihoods and incomes but his response is to say " fuck them".
If Putin had wanted to destroy the British economy he couldn't have done a better job than that being perpetrated by BoJo, Goebbels Cummings and the Orc cabinet.
But the real kicker is that the Clown actually thinks that threatening the EU over their fishing economy is a pressure point. As I have said before, access to British waters will not be denied to the coastal EU states sharing historical fishing grounds not least because the French et al will just ignore any prohibition. But the reality is starker, fishing is worth only 0.04% to the British economy whereas finance services accounts for over 7% of GDP.
Britain has been told not to fuck with the EU states by Barnier and the market knows just who is going to come out on top if the conflict is not resolved.
Which is why the £ is tanking, again.
As an afterthought, if the Brits were to impose restrictions on the 700,000 tons of fish netted annually by 7 EU coastal states and took the catch for themselves one wonders just to whom they will sell it to? The EU retaliatory tariff will be astronomical and in the end they will just have to give it away. Most net exporters from the UK to the EU do not want conflict because they know that the EU states will not tolerate it and will boycott imports. But as several exporters have said, if there is no alignment with the EU and they are compelled to comply with trade declarations for health and tariff qualification then the price will increase by 25% which they consider too much for the export market to bear.
BoJo has as much idea of this as a gerbil has of Jupiter's moons.
