Oh Britain, what have you done (part ∞+3)?

That really was not the intention. I was actually using someone else's words form a few posts above because I though their post was arrogant! it was a joke that you would only have picked up if you recalled the post I quoted from.

Oh, that would be my post then. I actually just thought some quick figures from real sources might help the debate vs confessedly patchy memories of what Boris had said, and couldn't be bothered to engage further because it was about 2am and I was off to bed.

I struggle to see how that makes me or my post arrogant, but as you will.

Number 9 sounds like a right bargain. I wonder if Boris will be pimping out T May by then?

Brexit strikes me as the equivalent of resigning from a pretty good, pretty well paid job during a bad recession, in a bad job market, with nothing else lined up, because you don't think your employer has the best management team, or because you feel you should have got a bigger raise. In other words and act of immature petulance and self harm because you have yet to accept that sometimes the least bad option is your best option.

And now we've found out that Johnson and Gove faked our CV, and Davis and Fox haven't even lined up a single interview.

Oh, and US protectionism is now signed in ink:

I’m looking forward to Fox coming back from Washington waving a piece of paper, proclaiming “peace in our time”- a $30m order for Port Talbot steel. Only to have Trump cancel by tweet later that night while in bed.

I thought he only tweeted from the toilet...
 
Latest Panorama does a good job of knocking the immigration argument for Brexit squarely on the head. Just watch the first 3 minutes when Nick Robinson poses a few questions to punters in Mansfield. Even that ejit who runs Wetherspoons is having second thoughts.
 
"Well coming up with crap analogies about leaving your job hardly elevates the conversation to your superior intellect, does it?"

When you look at what China is doing with the the Belt and Road Initiative, you realise that future survival is going to be as part of a large bloc that can stand up to China, India and the USA. Small fry will be walked over.

Most of the countries where China is 'investing' will end up as military bases when they can't service the debt.

Britain wants closer cooperation with China over its landmark Belt and Road infrastructure scheme

Pakistan and Sri Lanka probably also thought it was 'closer cooperation' too.

on the immigration target: professor john potts, at 16.15, "apart from the prime minister, it's quite hard to find anyone who thinks that the target, as it currently operates, is a useful contribution to policy...or can be met "

once again, it's mainly the old and the hard of thinking that are pulling up the ladder and driving us to ruin
 
"A devastating assessment of the government’s Brexit trade strategy of “rejecting a three-course meal for a packet of crisps”. Full text of Martin Donnelly’s speech to Kings College last week, exclusively on openDemocracy." https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/ma...o-much-skilled-negotiating-team-as-fairy-godm

The short version is we're heading for "significant damage to employment, the structure of the economy and the competitiveness of UK firms."
Lol, he was my boss in 2016, not that I ever met him.....the DTI is not a great source of info. Admittedly he is no longer there, but he was for a time. I know his type. The data we gathered was poor and our objectives were self-serving. I was in the export department too, as research adviser....close to it all!
 
Unfortunately, we mainly gathered info to protect our jobs, which always seemed under threat through both Labour and Conservative days. I used to have to present periodically why exports were like this or SMEs were like that. The SMEs hated how other EU government export departments basically ignored all the de Minimus laws whilst DTI were quite strict on them...ie EU companies got business development grants, UK companies did not.
