If the USA wants protectionism and their old coal fires let them.

Stay in the EU advancing and in tune with the times.

It is interesting that when the s***show that is the government's carrying out of withdrawal is brought up the thread fills with anti immigration rhetoric and ad hominem attacks rather than the minutae of Brexit itself.

I wonder why.

I've long since given up engaging with people like you on here. I prefer to watch from the side and snigg3r at you frustrated remainiacs going through the 7 stages.

And, as for the "s***show", you've clearly not read the Varoufakis reveal of how the EU deals with "dissenting states", including "information campaigns" exactly like the ones you guzzle down to sake your unquenchable thirst for anti-Brexit confirmation bias.

Yup, less than impressed with how May (a remainer, after all) is dealing with our departure, but I thank the stars above it isn't PM Corbyn dealing with it. Beyond that, I'll just be glad we're out, assuming we are actually going to leave, and not just in name.

You seem to admire Varoufakis, here's what he's been saying:

"Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis told the leadership of the U.K. Labour Party to adopt a “radical Remain” stance on Brexit" - supporting remain.

"He said he told them the U.K. “would expend huge amounts of economic and political capital in pursuing withdrawal,” adding: “We can be critical of the EU without seeking to leave it.” - supporting remain again

"“It’s a sad day when the Labour Party is defending the end of free movement and, indeed, promising its end,” he said, but added: “By proposing a genuine transitional period, Labour has shown greater political initiative and seriousness than Theresa May. To maximize this advantage, Corbyn and McDonnell must continue to develop an alternative vision of Brexit.” - he supports freedom of movement of people

Well, that's backfired on you hasn't it? No doubt we'll see you ignore all of this, keep your fingers stuck in your ears and keep on whistling.

So if you admire Varoufakis you have to agree with everything he says. Not really an adult way of looking at things is it.

The UK staying in the EU is better for Greece. I wouldn't expect him to say anything else on that score.

No. Really, no. It hasn't. As a grown up, I'm able to distinguish between someone's political views and their experiences negotiating under a similar capacity to those currently doing so under HMgov.

I neither agree with nor admire Varoufakis' political views, but I do find his commentary on the tactics deployed by the EU very informative. One can hold such position, you see.

Meanwhile, you've amply demonstrated why I don't bother contributing on here.

Now, off you f***.

Au contraire Mr Not a Monkey the real reason you don't burden us like you used to with your Roget's Theosaurus of brexit lies is because you are a complete t****r and have been found out.

You can't fashion a counter argument so you diss where he lives. How adult.

You are probably the least adult person on this website. So admonitions from you on maturity are hilarious.

europalace, I think you'll find although Corbyn may be against 'free' movement, he's not against movement of labour. He says there's still likely to be a lot. He's more against movement of Labour driving down living standards of British people in Britain. Do you oppose that because emigrating worked for you?

Or is it because you just agree with anything the EU does, regardless of what it is?
