The Brexdreamists are at it again asking for the impossible Brexit

http://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/erg-brexit-red-lines-1-5402898

Taking control of our tariff schedules at the WTO
Full regulatory autonomy
The UK must be free to start its own trade negotiations immediately
Any ‘implementation period’ should be based on WTO principle

This on the day David Davis started to sound more like Philip Hammond and Corbyn pretty much said we need to stay in the Customs Union (just call it something else)

The swivel eyed, freakoid, Eurosceptic oddballs aka The European Research Group, finally reveal who they all currently are too. I don't think I've seen a definitive list before.

Airlines prices are released 11 months from date of return, that is in 5 months for June 19 - Some Airlines such as BA/VA plan to put them on sale sooner than the 11 months via third parties.

I can assure you, the airlines are growing more uneasy as the days pass.

But like you say, fake news.

Firstly when did anything said in German increase its comedic effect, unless on a stag do wearing a Hitler moustache and goose-stepping around somewhere inappropriate in deepest Europe it never does.

Secondly how can you submit an economic outcome based on some assumption that can never be truly proven and then use that flawed forecast to mitigate earlier forecasts and assumptions that have been proven to be wrong, outrageously so.

Thirdly the BoE does what it does to try and ensure our economy has a favourable environment in which to function, but ultimately business is business, you need to sell stuff and ensure people can buy stuff, the current key economic indicators do not support some posters view that we have a Brexit based failing economy.

Fourthly you're politically driven to be anti tory, anti austerity, anti Brexit and you seem passionately pro socialism, we are unlikely to agree on much when it comes to some preferred economic and social model.

Fifthly you are being selective on the silly claims bit, I have my fair share of personal insults but I have never put anyone on ignore, I am rarely abusive but can be confrontational, NSC isn't an important part of my life and because I haven't met you, you are neither my friend nor enemy its just a bit of a discussion with a few spats now and then.

Sixthly, the nerds jibe is just a passive insult to those I would prefer to swear at but as I said earlier I am rarely abusive.

Now p1ss off

I'm not surprised to see Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham on that list.

An Apex level c*nt.

Point 1 - does it matter that much. Good grief.

Point 2 - I didn't submit any economic forecast.

Point 3 - I know what the Bank of England does. I wish we had a stronger manufacturing base to sell things.

Point 4 - I am anti-tory because I very rarely agree with anything they do, and haven't done for 40 years. That doesn't mean there are no Tory Mps I have some respect for, but the current bunch of self-serving clueless idiots are the worst ever. I'm actually partly feeling sorry for May because of the impossibility of the task she is facing. I am anti-austerity for reasons of social conscience rather than politically driven, and I gave considered myself European for 50 years plus. That is deep-seated conviction, not political. I am not and have never been a socialist. I would consider myself a social democrat or a liberal, with a small "L".

Point 5 - the silly claims bit doesn't really matter.

Point 6 - fair enough.

And I will not pi55 off. I've never put anyone on ignore either. People like you make me all the more convinced that I am right. I'll leave it at that.

The scary thing when looking at that list is that, party politics aside, people actually voted for those individuals to represent their views in parliament. What were they thinking?!

I reckon there is a disproportionate number of pro death penalty, anti gay rights proponents in that lot.
