    Nev, its why i stopped replying to his posts and most of the remainers on here, its a constant news trawl to justify their "look what Brexit is doing" rant. Foo is best viewed on ignore.

    One thing i will say that Brexit is clearly doing, its re-writing the political landscape. It appears that Labour through their activist wing are looking to de-select upto 100 moderate MPs, likewise the Tories are similarly de-selecting a lesser number. Its a worrying trend to drive through single agenda politics, particularly in Labour and there is talk of a break away party.

    This is an interesting video which highlights, from people that know the workings of the process thoroughly, the lack of democratic process and the dominance of non-elected and unacceptable bureaucrats (certainly on the EU side, but also on our side too).

    When we talk about a group of bureaucrat 'elites' following their own agenda, distant from either democratic processes or scrutiny, highlighted here are examples of that.

    good point, Brexit is a political and an economic shock

    it's going to reshape UK politics forever (not a bad thing, about time) and will of course put UK economics into a new perspective (polite way to say it's going to go through an Aggregate Supply Shift like a war or financial meltdown 1927 style)

    4 Labour Mps rumoured to be resigning today. Also nice to see Sir Nigel of Farage has already got 100k people signed up to his new party and that is only a drop in the ocean as to what will join when the Tories fail to deliver Brexit.

    Its not just the UK though.

    The perceived social inequality and lack of engagement by aloof governing institutions (the EU included) is driving the populist agenda and i can only see it gathering pace, the worry though is that political parties like Labour, who's shocking recent inability to identify and drive out racism and a lurch further to the left driven by momentum with their loony policies is a real worry.

    I think in the UK we'll see further re-alignment and possibly another SDP type party, I cannot see moderates leaving either Labour or Tories joining the Liberals unless the Liberals make deliberate moves to engage and bend their manifesto to encourage them in.

    This ain't about Brexit, though it has focused and underlying agenda.

    Brexit is just another consequence, not a cause

    yes populist all over EU up, because there is a feeling that globalization is always benefiting the same elite

    it's a revolt against the elite, politically and economically

    We are having our own Brexit style of politics with the Gillets Jaunes, the movement can't be stopped and Macron and the whole political elite is looking more and more detached from reality and incapable of acting decisively

    Trump, Brexit, Gillets Jaunes

    they are the same things, same consequences of a global economic disruption where the dividends are always pocketed by the same people

    it's a quiet revolution, but it's happening

    Yes, an aeroplane( flying with fuel paid for with a very weak pound exchanged into strong dollars/euros ) less than half full of British customer's paying with an extremely weak pound....and the company has no idea what the future holds even next month( never mind a 5 years plan ) so cannot implement any business plan for the future.

    All because of Brexit!


    ....I can only explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

    "The airline has faced several difficulties, including recent spikes in fuel and carbon costs, the latter arising from the EU’s recent decision to exclude UK airlines from full participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme. These issues have undermined efforts to move the airline into profit."

    Always amusing to see how passionate "intelligent" protesters manage to/or not answer/debate a simple question:

    A load of bollix. The guy's as funny as a dog turd on ones shoe. All this bollix about a hard border and resurgence of IRA violence is also bollix. The IRA are a defeated terrorist army never to re erect themselves. We wait and see.

    Have to agree with NPT. FUBAR is just another nasty, dumb attention seeking troll, who can’t even understand his own posts.
    Dont put him on ignore. Scrolling past gibberish only takes seconds and gives you the opportunity to be amused repeatedly.

    One of the more satisfying facets of being a Remainer, apart from the obvious reminder that as such one is confirmed to be an infinitely more intelligent being than any dull brained Brexit moron denoted by a stupidity more colossal than fucking Gibraltar, is the simple state of being wherein one is inevitably always right.
    As you all know I posted well over 18 months ago that the various foreign car manufacturing companies in the UK, notably BMW, Ford and Nissan were actively preparing to quit the UK as the prospect of a hard Brexit loomed ever larger but this was dismissed as mere scare tactics and another attempt to engender fear undermining the morale of Brexit morons too stupid to know their arsehole from a fucking sucking wound of their imbecility particularly well represented by the ageing and increasingly demented Taxexile.

    Well, here we go again. Hot on the heels of the news that Ford and BMW are quitting the UK, in addition to the closing down of Jaguar production, is the news that Honda are going to fuck off Swindon and quit with the loss of thousands of jobs.

    Dumbest fucks in the universe, eh?

    You simply couldn't write it.
