In other news. I see Ford has also joined Project Fear today. It's some cabal, trying to deceive us all, int it?

But never mind. A failed politician is here telling us it'll all be ok.

I wonder if there is anyone left in the country who listens to what he says and thinks "Yep! He's got a track record of telling the truth and doing what's best for the country. I'll believe him."

I cant believe any MP / Minister any more

They are all duplicitous and give vaguely wrong or vaguely right answers whichever faction they are in but I think that they think :

a) they are convincing and so we believe them

b) after this mess is resolved one way or another they will just carry on without recriminations

Probably with b) they will be right

The last I heard was that Ford was ready to chuck in the towel on selling cars in the whole of Europe in any case.

I'm sure there will be an article on that somewhere then...

Meanwhile, the Labour front bench continues to stick it's face out and shout "Free Punch!" because they are utterly incapable of realising what they look like to the world outside the self-contradictory leftist bubble.

This is an op ed from today’s NY Times with an article on Brexit.  I for one can’t keep up on it or keep everything straight, and you folks are actually living it, but thought you might like this article.  Hope the link works...

Theresa May will go down as the most incompetent PM in history, but Corbyn will go down as the most incompetent leader of any opposition if he can't win a general election against her.

So AL. That's an article from over a year ago with a few people last year speculating that Ford might pull out of MAKING cars in Europe and a few other ones speculating that they won't. Is that what you are relying on when you said "The last I heard was that Ford was ready to chuck in the towel on SELLING cars in the whole of Europe in any case."?

Still, I'm sure you're right and this is just another example of this co-ordinated Project Fear approach to con us into staying in the EU when it would clearly be beneficial for us to leave because Rees-Mogg and Johnson and that bloke who sells shit ale have all said so.

TT, not sure why this vote was needed as it only confirms that May has one foot permanently jammed down the bog, the ERG I assume abstained as it demonstrates their hold over and ability to toy with her without damaging themselves.

Brexit has cost $80 Billion so far, phew I thought it was going to be bad news!

''Many people in my community feel used. We were taken as fools by the leave campaign who, once they got what they needed, have deserted us.

But people in my community are not stupid. If I helped bring about Brexit, I will now work twice as hard to secure a people’s vote so that, together, we can help put this right''

Interesting poll:

37% of people think the country will be better off and 20% think they personally will be better off after Brexit. What do they know that the bloke in sydney's post doesn't?

''The trip from London to Lincolnshire showed me the Brexit divide’s depth''

An interesting view on the state of things and why there is a stalemate with a possible way forward, a variation of this approach is also being used in the middle east to try to bring Palestinians and Israelis closer together.

Now Honda pissing off. Why stay in a country which will be requiring tariffs for trade with Europe, when you could make everything in Japan with no tariffs for European trade?

Japan have just got a trade deal with Europe which allows them tariff free trade. Maybe if a deal with Europe was done or we were staying in it'd allow for greater manufacture for Honda but why would they keep manufacturing and exporting in a country that with our current uncertainty will probably end up paying tariffs to export to Europe?

From the article....
 
Quote
To add to Britain’s frustration, Japan has reportedly ruled out simply replicating the terms of a Japan-EU trade agreement that went into effect at the start of this month but which will be unavailable to the UK after Brexit. Instead, it will seek tougher concessions from Britain than it secured from the EU.

The lunatics running the asylum are still hard at it!   :turd:

But, as I believe will be clear in their statement, they'd move it Brexit or not.
