I can't stand Farage but I agree with him on this subject. Can't you see where it's going though? Next up we'll have a referendum on some other daft populist cause - like hanging, or gassing some minority group that the mob don't like. It was a big mistake giving the man in the street a vote. He's not very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved out of all my foreign concerns almost fifteen years ago and these days I only have a couple of local 1931s. Employing people is a heavy responsibility, and I can tell you that deals rely on people being trustworthy, and supplying the right product at the right price. In serious business, If you can’t offer anything purchasers anything over their trusted suppliers, and if you can’t put in bigger orders to your suppliers than your competitors then all you’ll get for your efforts is jet lag and entertainment receipts, no matter how good your patter is. It’s different at retail level, where good will goes further, but bottom lines are everything in big business. If you seriously think trade deals don’t matter then you clearly have no experience. I don't think trade deals don't matter but I am not as defeatist as you and they are not the only matter in play here. Having been involved in national and international business as a proprietor, employer and active investor for decades, I know for a fact that the wider world is very interested in doing business with Britain as we have a huge amount to offer across multiple sectors, as well as a massive consumer market. We will not come out of this in a bad place- if it ever happens. Your posts give every impression of being laced with a hope for failure to teach the country a lesson for having the temerity to leave the paradise that in your opinion is the EU.

He's not very nice. He isn't stupid either although the faux superior liberals fervently believe he is. Capital punishment referendum you day? I do hope so. Murderers and rapists are not very nice.

The Duck of Atholl Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I cast my postal vote a week ago as I'm still just about entitled to vote in the UK. My vote was a tactical one with hopefully a change of governing party after Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecobob Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Don’t tell me those useless young people actually took things into their own hands and queued up at the polls? How glorious if it’s true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecobob Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Damn you China. You made me go on Google to check the news (for the first time in a long time. It’s the Tories with the landslide majority. I might have known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I predict a notable majority for Johnson. With the exception of the Scots, Britain is naturally Conservative or Conservative Lite. That's how Blair won his landslide in 1997 against a Major government that had lost the faith of the centre ground. Corbyn is another Michael Foot, seen as too far to the left for the comfort of most Brits. Plus his fence sitting on Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Corbyn should quit, and feel bloody ashamed of himself. Any half decent opposition should have torn the tories to bits. Edit - he says he won't be leading labour in another election. You could argue he didn't lead this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Still, looking on the bright side we'll have a lovely roast Brexit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
