I hate the argument that a hardworking willing and able guy from overseas is a negative.

Pointless polls manipulate people? How does that work? I'm looking forward to reading about your psychological qualifications, and evidence of such manipulations.

I’d be interested to hear if he has any qualifications.

Legally the referendum was nothing more than an opinion poll.

Is this where the pro-Brexit argument is now ?
An article about something we aren't in, were never in and weren't going to join - talk about desperation
Remind me again, what was it you were hoping to get out of Brexit ?

How many times. Complete break. No connection. Is that clear

An unsophisticated opinion poll for sure, but one given authority by parliament. That's why its verdict cannot be ignored.
It hasn't been ignored but if parliament finds that it is unable to reach agreement on how to implement the people's decision in a way that will not, in its view, damage the national interest, then the only way forward is for it to refer the matter back to the people, along with all new information now available.
The question in such circumstances is whether the consultation mechanism should be an election or a referendum.
Referendums are blunt instruments but for me he best way of countering one is with another. A referendum on the deal will retain the sense of a level playing field, even if the questions are different and far more nuanced from the first time around.
I cannot possibly see the Conservatives agreeing to a referendum. If Remain wins a referendum the government will be split and the party destroyed. If they lose a GE then at least it will be Labour's problem. Someone else can pick up the wreckage, and perhaps create plenty more of its own. For the conservative party, as has been the case since at least 2015, the national interest is not exactly its priority.
The Tory Party is, however, traditionally good at surviving. My own guess is that it, and the EU, will agree a blurred fudge to get themselves over the line in March without either. Hope I'm wrong.

I thought you wanted to get rid of foreign workers who are not skilled, forever having fag breaks and leaving early, and yet, somehow, are still outperforming you

Don't be bloody ridiculous. I didn't say I wanted to get rid of them. Stop twisting things to suit your agenda. Where in that post does it say i want to get rid of them. As for outperforming....NOW you are being stupid.

You're the one using the Euro zone as an example of out performing. We aren't in the Euro, as we had a veto and chose not to. So much for Brussels/Merkel telling us what to do.

Meaning no flights, no trade, build a wall on the Irish border and block up the Eurotunnel?

It's worse than that for some parts of the UK. People really do not understand the implications of no deal or no trade.
Maybe when Ken Clarke and Malcombe Rifkind were discussing her in the "difficult woman" sketch, they were fooling their peers into thinking she was indeed competent, when all along they knew the disaster she has been? What a total ballsup!
