I’ve always had a grudging respect for Hague. I’d go as far as “liking” him. But his comments are embarrassing and the worst thing is, I know he doesn’t believe a word he’s saying himself - which is very unlike him historically.

Maybe has learnt from Boris if you say something often enough then people accept it is true.

Could be - I just expected more from Hague. He has never shied from challenging the party line and comes off like a decent bloke. It just all smacks of desperation.

I am upset and disappointed. Shattered, broken, bothered and bewildered. I cannot go on. My life is ruined.But, since this is the Brexit thread, how do you think the Brexit that you campaigned so long and hard for is going ? Maybe highlight some of the benefits you expected that are now coming to fruition, or suggest some solutions to some of the crises you and your fellow campaigners have caused the rest of society rather than just indulging in utterly pointless whataboutery
And, back on the actual subject of Brexit
Brexit to blame for collapse of Britishvolt, says ex-Tory leader William Hague
Brexit is to blame for the collapse of the British electric car battery start-up Britishvolt causing hundreds of job losses, according to former Conservative leader Lord William Hague. The Tory grandee said the failure of the company – which had plans to build a giga-factory in Northumberland – was “part of the damage” of the UK’s exit from the EU. Britishvolt made the majority of its 300 staff redundant on Wednesday after appointing administrators when it failed to raise enough funding for its Cambois site.

Yes, the FT does report numerous companies are interested in the Britishvolt site, but reading the article it seems the interested companies are not necessarily wanting to make batteries on a large scale, or indeed batteries at all.

Finally we have something POSITIVE from Brexit! Yes, you heard it hear on NSC.
My grandson's school in London has just taken supply of 20 boxes of A4 paper with the Brexit campaign logo on the top corner for the children to use as scrap paper for drawing on.
And I for one thought nothing positive would ever come out of such an own goal. How wrong was I?

Well I'm sure that will cheer up our bewildered friend and his mate 'the bringer of truth' worrying about wokes all the time. Maybe e-mail to JRM and the rest of the Brexit cabal as a start on their Brexit benefits list
Jacob Rees-Mogg casts doubt over breakthrough in Northern Ireland's Brexit trade talks
Former Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg told Express.co.uk: "I'm not confident [of a breakthrough] because this has been going on for a long time. There have been lots of discussions with lots of foreign secretaries that haven't led to a breakthrough. I won't hold my breath, but I would not dismiss it out of hand."https://www.express.co.uk/news/poli...es-mogg-doubts-over-northern-ireland-protocol
Who could have foreseen Northern Ireland being such a problem ? When even the Express has turned and called Brexit 'unsalvageable', it looks like JRM could do with some good news about your grandson's school

Sorry, but thought the answer would be more appropriate on this thread. Not at all, the third of the electorate who believed some, most or all of this
Although there's no point in going over old ground now, I was simply explaining how we got to the Government we currently have. Far more important now going forward is trying to find a way out of this total shitshow.

And in order to move us forward, as an ardent Unionist and campaigner for Johnson's border in the Irish sea, what do you think the Government should do to resolve the unimplementable Northern Ireland Protocol ?Early entry for funniest comment of 2023

That is f***ing grotesque, reading that. It's like finding Jimmy Savile's contract with the BBC that declares that he will nurture the welfare of young people and seek to protect them from harm and exploitation.
Is wokewanka still arguing that what we was promised is neither here nor there, or something? You can't argue with religion. I prefer to ignore it <sigh>
So you didn't actually answer my question. Do you think the third of the electorate are thick or stupid. I realise I am talking to someone who has been head hunted by financial institutions. Lol.

Its the gift that keeps on giving. Eurostar limited at 60% due to limited border infrastructure.
Its almost as if some people believed all the lies and that nothing would change?

Definitely no confusion here, although I'm not sure the same could be said of him
‘I was lied to by Boris Johnson’: Why much of UK fishing is still waiting for a Brexit boost
It was 23 August 2019, and the MP, less than a month into his spell as prime minister, was on an unannounced visit to the south Devon fishing town of Brixham. “Me and my son Joshua chatted to Boris for about ten minutes,” he recalls. “He promised us that we would need to expand our premises, employ more staff. “He told us that when the Brexit rules came in January 2021, we would be so busy that we would take the fish off the French and they would be desperate to buy it from us. He said we could look forward to a very, very prosperous future.”
Roll forward three-and-a-half years and Mr Perkes’ revenue is 30 per cent down. He had run his business profitably for 45 years before the post-Brexit fishing rules came into force in January 2021. Now he is having to contemplate giving up entirely on exports – which accounted for 85 per cent of his pre-Brexit sales – and axing up to a dozen of his 15 staff.

I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at the fact 'Johnson lied' is a headline. WTF did he really expect

That’s fine is they don’t vote. But if they chose to vote, with all the consequences of the vote, and have little interest or understanding then that does make you a bit thick imho.
I wouldn’t do something, which has significant impact on others, without at least educating myself first.

I'd really like to see a subject at school called "life skills". This could cover some of the essentials to life, areas covered could include financial planning / budgeting, basic nutrition / food prep, UK constitution / politics.
In return for the later there would be a better chance of individuals making sensible decisions rather than getting gaslit by slogans and cheap gimmicks from dishonest actors. Oh and voting would also be mandatory...
