Agree May is in an impossible position but she never should have been the one negotiating. She believes we are better of in and the EU know that so she is negotiating for something she does not believe in, was never going to end well!

Personally, I have no reason to doubt that Capp runs a biz., just that he needs to spend more time on that than on ADVFN. Dyson no longer manufactures over here, but he does run a design business and the Dyson I.o.T. Why do folk try to knock entrepreneurs just to justify their take on the EU? Madness, but that's Remoaners all over for you.

The gangsters treat everyone who lets them with contempt, they have form especially when it comes to ignoring referendums, or just ignoring the wishes of the populations... Once the gangsters have finished using the Irish republic for the red herring irish border con..the Irish will be told to get back into line...

Dyson does not manufacture in the UK.

[gaffer73] 30/12/2018 13:52

Who's to say if he has or not, it doesn't make any difference. I can't believe any business man wouldn't prepare for the inevitable, silly not to. Yes, May has made a complete mess of it but that is due to the EU's complete ignorance towards the UK.

So what changes do you need to make? If there are changes needed I can't believe that you, as a successful business man, has not bothered to prepare for Brexit. It is happening and the sooner people face up to it the better.

NO..The country voted to LEAVE the EU, which meant leaving the Single market,leaving the customs union, and leaving the jurisdiction of the ECJ... Prior to the referendum that's what EVERY MP stated over and over again..whatever their hue. It's not a matter of being far right or not...everyone knew what the consequences were..it's only through May and the establishment's delaying tactics and B.I.N.O. May deal that is and has caused ALL the uncertaintity... Where is the risk in taking back control of our borders if we LEAVE..whereas staying in weakens and destroys our ability as to who can come and who can't.. No one forced May to become PM, she chose that out of choice of seeing through the eu agenda, she is and always will be a remainer..her loyalties lie with her masters in brussels.. And as for you remoaners shouting for another LOSERS vote, with the old nutmeg of voters not knowing what they were voting for, just shows with these continuous claims, that it's the remainers that didn't know what they were voting for and are the stupid ones.. Which is shown by their falling for the political establishments and the fawning MSM's hype of armageddon...Yes there will be disruption, but for a short period...The Germans will still want to export their cars to us..the French their Champaign and cheese..And trade will carry on under WTO trade terms..so NO country can delay, disrupt or anything else..

Andy, interesting to hear from someone running a decent sized business. While I have a huge amount of respect for Tim Martin in business terms, a pub business faces far fewer challenges than say a manufacturing company. Same with James Dyson, he does not manufacture in the UK. The divisiveness of another referendum would be appalling, Corbyn loathes the EU, so I think ultimately Labour backs May, following some changes to her deal. That might be after an A50 extension. It's that, a general election, or another referendum. No deal very unlikely imv. The TUC already applying huge pressure on Labour to ensure a no deal does not happen.

Personally, I believe Mrs May has been dealt the worst hand ANY Prime Minister has ever had. Whatever deal she managed to negotiate it was going to be unpopular: The hard right want to leave whatever the cost to the country, the Remainers want the softest 'leave', then the Labour party will vote against or merely not make any decisions so that the Conservatives will bear the brunt of the post Bexit electorate, then the other prospective Conservative 'leaders' will moan and groan against whatever is negotiated to placate their supporters. I believe that we are better off with a new vote: we had no idea prior or during the last Referendum as to the quantifiable risks to our borders, the Northen Irish border, the risks to trade, imports of food stuffs and medicines, the delays to exports etc All we had were numbers plucked out of the air by Johnson and co which are now to be seen as derisible nonsense.

I think many of those like myself unsure of the best way to go have been swayed by the blatant arrogance of the EU during these negotiations it makes me more inclined to say right stuff you we will take the chance and leave altogether with no deal.May was never the right person to negotiate needed someone far stronger not afraid to call their bluff.

[grannyboy] 30/12/2018 12:15

May's negotiation stance from the off was all wrong...We should have left on WTO terms from the off, then we could and should have negotiated trade deals from outside the gangsters club, but May was and is a remainer and she was talking to the gangsters as if we were friends and that the gangsters would reciprocate Mays feelings of friendship...but anyone who has studied the gangsters will know friendship does not come into the equation with the eu ideology, and their plans for a federlist europe.. And you might claim that the eu does not have an effect or cost you much money, is false..because there is, whether in monetary terms or freedom and democracy... IT'S SOVEREIGNTY !!!!!

"Looks increasingly like a delay to A50 on the cards" Expect gilet jaunes to get protesting in force if that is the case "Cross-party parliamentary groups have been in talks for weeks to prevent a no deal" No Deal or WTO deal is the default option thanks to Gina Miller. "Opens the door futher for another referendum, however still see that as unlikely" Another referendum, or May's "Remain with no say" deal gets accepted and it's gilet jaunes and civil war. All because bad losers couldnt accept not getting their way for the first time in 43 years. Democracy is toast. You deserve what you will reap in its stead.

Looks increasingly like a delay to A50 on the cards. Cross-party parliamentary groups have been in talks for weeks to prevent a no deal. Opens the door futher for another referendum, however still see that as unlikely. The TUC will ensure Labour ultimately support a version of May's deal, it will be an even softer Brexit. That's where we look to be heading. Would expect domestic cyclicals to begin to outperform as that realisation becomes clearer. Messy few weeks in the meantime before we reach that point.

Several million people were fed up with uncontrolled immigration instigated by Tony Blair to further his career and the total loss of control of the UK to the EU. If people could not see the problems it was causing then....

Another chunky director share sale, at this level.

[gaffer73] 29/12/2018 20:13

Exactly, so let's all respect the result and leave.
