I'm glad I just spent this evening inside having a chilled one and focusing on the transfer deadline. A brief walk outside to the shop ended up with me crossing paths with someone drunkenly singing "Poland's going home" to people in the street. :rolleyes:
Ah big deal. It'll turn out OK. I'll stake my reputation on it.
Which is nothing by the way.
Agree with this to the extent that there's now a genuine possibility that those two insufferable ****s Farage and Francois might be off the airwaves for an extended period. Hallelujah!Quote:

So here we have the UK government trying to gain leverage in the negotiations with the EU by threatening its own people with food shortages and price rises. Genius.
I went to bed last night a European Citizen and I woke up this morning a European Citizen, for me nothing has changed personally but I can't help feel for all those other UK and EU Citizens that now find themselves in limbo after perfectly legally following a dream to live their lives elsewhere in the EU as an equal and have now had that right pulled out from under them without having had any say in the matter.
A longish read for a Sunday afternoon.

I expect many more companies such as Airbus believing in brexit Britian and investing more in the UK.

It's going to be interesting to see how remoaners try and explain why their predictions of the world coming to an end post brexit were untrue.
Brilliant!Quote:

Great news for those looking for jobs I agree!Quote:

Subsea7 UK are adding around 9000 jobs to the UK over the next 3 years with a large share of the jobs coming to Scotland and the North East of England.
Great news for the UK and another example of business investing in brexit Britain.
This "remoaner" chat is exactly what's wrong with this country

Perhaps it might help if you read what Nissan actually said rather than what your Government mouthpieces want you to see.Quote:

Can you read? That article was about the subsea industry group whose job it is to talk up their sector. Subsea 7 UK is a company and they've said nothing about new recruitment, certainly not on that scale.Quote:

You post and you don't read the replies to your posts, do you? If you did, you wouldn't repeat your mistakes. I think you're just trolling here.Quote:

Sure cars'll be more expensive, but they'll be much more sovereign.Quote:

Pointing out flaws in the car industry arguement like that just makes you a vroomoaner. Stop being bitter.Quote:

The IMF have predicted that the UK will have higher levels of growth than the EU over the next 3 years.Quote:

The latest I could see from them shows the UK growing 1.3% through what was left in 2019 and 1.4% in 2020. Eurozone 1.3% and 1.6% respectfully. All advanced economies AVG 1.9% and 1.7%. Global growth 3.2% and 3.5%.
