The use of the word betrayal is ridiculous, as if you expect politicians to deliver on a promise, more fool you For me betrayal is 10 years of austerity, underfunding police, schools, homelessness and growing poverty in the UK, that's real betrayal of the public and Brexit is their distraction. You ignore real issues that affect peoples lives and get angry about a stupid vote. You're being had. And when you get your beloved Brexit they can blame you for it and force another generation of hardship on you. Well done Get with the game pp.

Doesn't make sense because if they really wanted to delay Brexit as long as possible or put it off they wouldn't have triggered article 50. Triggering A50 showed the intent to leave and appease leavers like yourself Triggering Article 50 without any plan or idea of the future showed the UK as incompetent, that has led to the present state. Revoking article 50, or nullifying brexit somehow via a long extension, seems the only way back for us.

Incorrect. Some predict disaster. No one actually can say with any certainty what will happen. You have to continue to find reasons to justify your position on this because you lost the vote, whereas I do not. My conviction remains the same. I have no need to keep finding new justifications to leave. The original reasons still apply. As already discussed on these hallowed pages the British economy has already lost 66 billion quid just due to the uncertainty over Brexit. Companies have already closed down operations here citing Brexit as a factor. Major car manufacturers have announced reduced investment in the UK with Brexit cited as a factor. Many major financial insitutions have made their employees sign relocation papers to Frankfurt/wherever in the event of a hard brexit. The government's own forecasts and the opinion of the chancellor of the exchequer is that a no deal brexit would be an economic disaster. The disaster is well under way already.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Our economical model clearly doesn't work then if disaster has struck and we have record employment since 1971 BBC News - UK employment at highest since 1971

"Many major financial institutions" are relocating are they.

Macron will also demand 'compliance checks' on Britain's behaviour every three months until then, with the threat of ejecting the UK without a deal if Brussels thinks the UK is being disruptive. This measure is designed to stop a new British Prime Minister, such as Boris Johnson, causing trouble within the EU in an attempt to be released early. To counter this threat, the EU will 'Boris-proof' any Brexit delay and refuse to let the UK have any say in future EU budget talks and trade deals in case a new Brexiteer Tory leader starts wreaking havoc, it was revealed today. The above is from an article in today's Mail (I know Mail journalists are now flavour of the month with some posters). So are the EU now dictating to us who we can have as a leader of a main Political Party/Prime Minister? How very democratic, if this does not show the EU up for what they really are I do not what does. Or is it that they are s****ing themselves that, with a change of leadership, we just might tell them to do one

Probably because it's easy enough within the financial markets to move your trading address to wherever is acceptable and still actually trade from your same old UK offices.... all you need is there in the wonderful world of electronic communications.

As a retired public sector worker I can assure you that not ALL public sector pensions are/were gold-plated, despite what the media would have you believe. I worked for 42 years and my pension was only increased by having to work weekends, public holidays (including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day) and overtime. What is not taken into account is that, in the private sector many have "extras" ie private medical insurance, company cars, cheap insurance, corporate hospitality etc (not all I admit but some) whereas public sector workers have no such benefits.
