Blimey you are a bit pre occupied with these job losses which run into err tens of nothing. Maybe you could revisit all the miners who lost there jobs meaning cheaper coal was brought in from Europe all those years ago. Or the hundreds who are losing there jobs locally with in my wifes case jobs going to Narwich and Edinburgh. It happens when firms get taken over. Gone on for years

Did you go on a miners march, I did to support them it wasn't nice. Jobs come and go its part of life. I'm sure along with others we have all been made redundant at sometime in our lives. You have to brush yourself off and then carry on as will my wife when her job moves north in June along with 600-odd collegues. You keep worrying about anything Brexit related though to prove some warped point

You ask a Yorkshireman if I went on a miners march?

Do you want me to tell you about my father who was a mining engineer, my grandfather who died from lung desease after working down the mines in South Wales for 40 years, my uncle who was a union convenor in three pits outside Barnsley?

You know nothing about me nad I know nothing about you.

I'm sure all the good people of Yorkshire who voted Leave by a big margin and the fine residents of Barnsley who voted by a landslide for leave would have some choice words for the delightful mix of undemocratic loons, federalists, patronising bellends, anti UK europhiles, champagne socialists, hard left twunts, i'm alright jack types that populate this thread who think leave voters were either duped or too thick to understand what they were voting for.

I haven't had the best day ever and if you want to finish it off with another dose of your well-known bitter, trivial, inaccurate, bile-filled, stereotyping name-calling directed at other Albion fans then I'm afraid that, for the moment at least, I am going to let you get on with it. Good night.

There’s a poll published today where 2/3 of people feel that the EU is trying to bully the UK in the discussions.

The same poll states that the opinions of people haven’t really changed since the leave vote. I think we can see that on here. I don’t know of of anyone who has changed their mind, although I’ve seen people say on QT that they voted Remain but accept the outcome and just want to get on with it.

Seems some people do accept democracy, unlike others maybe. Democracy is great as long as it’s what you want seems to be the remainers mantra.

I don't doubt this analysis.

Evidence based consideration of economic and cultural consequences is unfortunately far more challenging than Harry Enfield 's "Self Righteous Brothers" venting their spleen about Brussels and the need to regain control of our great country...

Yes as predicted.....

UK makes ridiculous demands

EU says go whistle

Brexiteers and offshore media owners blame the evil EU and say thank god we're leaving

When we're IN we want a load of opt OUTS, when we're OUT we want a load of opt INS. But we are special

It's strange though - The EU is an international organisation based on treaties going back many years, ratified by member states with everything enshrined in laws, both EU and domestic and despite us being the ones leaving The EU, not the other way round, The EU and all 27 member countries, were just going to amend the relevant laws and obligations and give us a special deal because they need us.

It seems to me it would be a bit like being in crown court charged with a serious offence and facing a custodial sentence, but instructing your lawyer to get the law you've broken changed to keep you in free society because you earn a 7 figure salary per annum and therefore society needs you more than you need society, because you're so special.

Have you stopped panicking over the “huge crash on Wall Steet” now precious? I realise that economics and facts aren’t your strong points - more of a specialist in overreaction, knee-jerk comments and tantrums I feel. I think you must get on well with The Clamp and his “we’re in a recession now” statements.

The EU says no cherry-picking. Well, the EU wants to Cherry Pick.

It wants very few tariffs on goods (i.e what it sells much more of to us than we do to them).
It wants co-operation on security, defence and science. Of course it does, because we’re fecking good at these areas.
They want to keep fishing in our waters.
But services, oh no, we cna’t do that as that would be cherry pickling. You need to stop sucking on the teat of the EU and look at how they want to try to treat us.

I’d tell Ireland to go feck themselves. You want to dictate to us - you’re a tiny, insignificant country of 4m people. We don’t need to trade with you - you need us. Don’t like it - well tough.

We should plan for WTO rules. This won’t stop trade - it won’t make trade illegal with the EU. Yes, it changes the dynamics but these are short-term issues which people/companies get around. The EU has so many issues to sort (i.e. Italy, EURO, anti-EU sentiment rising across the block, etc.), they’d stupid to antagonise the 5th/6th largest economy in the world. If we walk with no deal, there would be enormous support for telling the EU to stick their demands for £40bln. That would really feck their budget plans up.
