RUNT OF THE PACK = UK

So Minerve, it's nothing to do with Diesel sales continuing to fall in EUROPE and of course it's nothing to do with the recent EU-Japan trade deal?

Shy Tott, I actually agree with most of your post, May & Olly have been the problem since the beginning.

Were they lazy or were they working to their own personal agendas ?

Take your pick, however what's not in doubt is that they flatly refused to negotiate or take on board advice from anyone and basically screwed the entire process up so as we've been left with this cliff edge scenario with basically no winners and all losers.........

The UK is a Service Sector driven economy and has been for many years....

"Minerve - no they are not and neither are JLR'S...."

Yes, they are, diesel sales and electric markets only forced the need to change & consolidate.

Brexit made the decision easy - close auto UK.

The UK is now a Low Pay economy thanks to Greed at the Top and the abundant cheap labour supply.

Ladeside, exactly - the situation changes by the day, and by the minute on voting days. If, how and when we leave can change massively on an afternoon's voting. What can be constant though is our own wish of what we want to happen. I want out/no deal asap, but that is slipping away for the foreseeable future (until the Brexit party wins lots of seats). I don't know why, but many people seem to think what they personally want will just magically come about and their expectations and wishes remain completely aligned.

There was no need for the gov to be tied up for 3 years. Remoaners in the gov and eu have ensured that would be the case. After the referendum, we should have just left, stopped paying contributions and ruled ourselves ignoring everything the eu said and threatened, and spent the last 3 years getting systems in place so we could prosper outside the eu. That's what the majority wanted, not 3 years of game playing and delaying tactics.

Minerve - no they are not and neither are JLR'S....

It's not just the job losses it's the jobs that haven't been created due to the uncertainty.

Of course the narrative is that everything is going great guns, however if you count delivering Pizzas and Kebabs for a couple of hours per week as quality jobs, then Yes, I suppose it's all looking good.........

[ladeside] 26/3/2019 12:38

What does ?

[minerve 2] 26/3/2019 12:37

Swindon and Sunderland job losses are due to Brexit, no question about it.

[toon1966] 26/3/2019 12:29

I take that includes your comment on job losses?

[ladeside] 26/3/2019 12:23

MP's weren't voted in on a Brexit mandate though, so very difficult to judge an MP on how he or she votes on their own personal beliefs.

It should also be remembered that this is an ever changing story, so what may have seemed right last week, doesn't necessarily mean that it will still be right this week.

The most worrying thing is that "brexit" has overshadowed everything else and as a result our Government is barely functioning which is another issue entirely.........

[polar fox] 26/3/2019 12:18

maxk,

Departure is important because the ERG, for example, have been hinting at supporting her BRINO, if she publicly outlines the timing. In turn, the DUP will vote for the BRINO, if the ERG leads the way.

Many now see it as BRINO or no Brexit, apparently.

[toon1966] 26/3/2019 12:14

Boris had the chance and he bottled it.....absolute coward!

[xxxxxy] 26/3/2019 12:12

A funny thought that if they were directors of public companies they'd be in prison now.

Very true

[xxxxxy] 26/3/2019 12:11

Boris for PM. But I like JRM too.

[maxk] 26/3/2019 12:11

And why this fixation with the submarine's departure?

It's the damage she is doing now that counts.

[grahamite2] 26/3/2019 12:09

A general election is essential and the sooner the better. We have got to have a clearance of those MPs who were elected on a false prospectus.

A funny thought that if they were directors of public companies they'd be in prison now.

Like Me! Ha Ha! Tell him off! Go back to your old self and wind them up more ????

What's the tender offer about?
