“Business is business!”

This is something that the Remainer can’t get their heads around. They think business is run by governments. I can understand why someone on the state payroll would have trouble understanding commerce. Children are not taught the concepts of trade because schools are obsessed with equality, diversity etc.

Nail on the head, thanks. I have repeatedly having to tell the remainers on here and elsewhere that business/trade is totally about people selling goods and services to other people .

They think Germans will stop buying iPhones because we are in, out, EEA, EFTA or WTO , its deluded. The only effect government/political intervention has is on costs/pricing. If a government priced out popular products they would soon feel the force of their electorates

jacko has problems too with predictive text - he meant to write "our debts will stay here in the UK". Well done. GBP fast going down the toilet as predicted.

The torch has passed to the Brexit party now. There is no future in the Tory party for the Spartans. There are a dozen or so Labour MPs who are in a similar place. Time for a Grand Alliance party to take the nation out of the EU onto the world stage as an INDEPENDENT nation.



Nigel Farage has such a vision.

"and get a life."

They have no life and it is the EU's fault!

ROFLMAO!

Exactly, but which new leader can be trusted to do that? Anything else will ensure Brexit/UKIP will be strong in the next General and will destroy the Conservative Party.

May says she will “always regret failing to deliver Brexit” she never even tried. Thank goodness she was not able to buy the £39 billion handcuff WA treaty. She was never remotely a Conservative. Still I suppose she planned to ban plastic straws and cotton buds and to introduce opt out organ donation. Though even these are not yet in place.

Her leaving speech was lefty, pro EU lunacy from beginning to end. She was never remotely a Conservative. She even lied about reducing government debt in her leaving speech. She leaves with the highest taxes and most red tape for 70 years. She has no shame. May is surely despised by all right thinking, people even more than John Major who cost so many people their businesses, homes, marriages and lives event with his idiotic ERM fiasco. He did not even say sorry or learn anything from this.

I see Mathew Parris thinks Boris will not deliver Brexit if elected. Well Parris is nearly always wrong let us hope he is on this. I suspect Boris is the time not person who can prevent Corbyn.

Well, we know the knuckle-draggers will vote in Boris. Plenty of knuckle-draggers on this thread.

Ever wonder why you haven't got anywhere notable in life?

Here is a clue: it isn't the EU!

ROFLMAO!

Good because he was never going to be offered a job in any case.

"Rory Stewart said he would not serve under rival Boris Johnson because of his backing for a no-deal exit. "

Good guy Rory Stewart. He has values, unlike some. ;)

Minerve well and truly rattled. He just can't compete with your posts.

[minerve 2] 25/5/2019 14:45

Liberal Labour coalition - next GE.

Tick tock.

"we will control our laws and our borders."

Great. Does that include our steel and auto industry?

ROFLMAO!

Smart move there chimps. ;)

And a laughable cry from the snowflakes who are so brainwashed by the left they sob 'what about our futures'....these airheads never bother to check how many millions of youngsters have already been robbed of a future and long term unemployed throughout a broken Europe.

Macron, French president, has no children.
• German chancellor Angela Merkel has no children.
• British prime minister Theresa May has no children.
• Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni has no children.
• Holland’s Mark Rutte,
• Sweden’s Stefan Löfven,
• Luxembourg’s Xavier Bettel,
• Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon—all have no children.
• Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, has no children.

"So a grossly disproportionate number of the people making decisions about Europe’s

future have no direct personal stake in that future."

Minnie..Had a good laugh at being able to provoke you into writing an essay. Sorry it was just a mile to long to read, but weekend homework done for you.

Sorry to hear that 17.4 million people, all with more spirit than you will ever have, are able to spark that hatred that you thrive upon. 90% of posters on this Lloyds thread stand back daily and laugh at you. Still flogging the dead horse!! Europe is a failed experiment, how many million Europeans who would leave tomorrow will it take to get that past that dormant organ between your ears.

WTO is the future, embrace it, our money will stay here in the UK and we will control our laws and our borders.

The next Prime Minister and the EU

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 25, 2019

The next Prime Minister has one immediate and urgent task – to get us out of the EU. Unless the Conservative party delivers soon on its promise in 2017 to take us out the substantial loss of votes to the Brexit party suggested in recent Westminster polls will be confirmed or may accelerate. We are long past the position where we need a new leader to find a compromise between Leave and Remain, or who thinks that a few tweaks to the Withdrawal Agreement will enable it to pass. Only getting us out by October 31st at the latest is going to get the government and the party the right to a hearing again from voters, and the space and authority to press forward with all the many policies we can then offer based on the freedoms Brexit delivers.

Any new Leader has to understand the depth and range of feeling in the country that the outgoing government and the official opposition have let the country down badly, by delaying, diluting and querying the whole idea of Brexit. We have just witnessed a huge tidal wave of support for getting on with leaving, and against signing the Withdrawal Agreement. Mrs May’s Agreement was designed in Brussels by the EU, and met with great opposition from Leave and Remain voters alike.

I tried hard over many months to persuade her to go back to the EU and tell them the Agreement could not be sold to UK voters and had to be changed. I argued with her to stand up to the EU and tell them if necessary we would just leave without signing the Agreement. In the later stages of her tenure as PM I urged her to do herself a favour by dropping the Agreement, to ease the obvious strains on her of the repeated disagreements and negative votes. I was amazed at her resilience in defence of a proposal which the country had already rejected by a large margin, and which this Parliament was unlikely to accept.

Some say we cannot leave without signing the Agreement because Parliament will not allow it. The only hope this Parliament has to reconnect with voters who have left both main parties in droves is to leave. A new PM can do so. Best would be to go to the EU, say we have messed them around for too long and we wish to leave immediately. If the EU agrees it can be done as the delay in our exit was done by agreement between the new UK government and the EU. We should offer a comprehensive free trade agreement which would enable us to leave with no new tariffs or trade barriers whilst over the months after exit we seek to work out and sign the detailed proposal.

If the EU would not agree to an immediate exit, then we need to wait until 31 October. Parliament has legislated for our exit then. A new PM just has to ensure Parliament does not legislate to keep us in. Government has plenty of powers to do just that, which Mrs May declined to use last time because she had herself decided she wanted to delay our exit if she could not have her way and sign the Agreement.
