Quote of the day (well, yesterday)! :eek: Unfortunately! :rolleyes: As, imo, it devalues some/many of your otherwise quite reasonable points!

Err, yes, try taking a look but if theres anything you want some help with then dont be shy in asking.

What are you trying to make from that comment, silly point scoring I guess. You really need to grow up as you are making yourself look like you are incapable of discussing this subject without silly put downs. Although, as a remainer you are not alone in that respect.

That’s a bit defensive...or your original post was, you obviously edited to soften the response.

OK Foxy but you read his post. Do you not :mad: have a similar comment for that.

Yes!

Or should that be 'No'! :rolleyes: Note the smiley I added to the quote!

FWIW.... I tend to differentiate between 'negative' comments about a post as opposed to 'negative' comments about the poster! I believe that fits with the Forum Rules.

The Times. Oh my. Got to be the daftest thing written in the mass media campaign to keep us tied to the EU.

Meanwhile, EU flags were burned in riots across France last night.............. and our TV and Print Media are not mentioning. Funny eh, it's as if they have an agenda!:rolleyes:

If it was last night then it wouldn't be in the print media, would it.
And if it's the continuation of the yellow vests protests then it's on the BBC website.

No mention of flag burning but to be fair, it's just a continuation of a protest that's been going on for weeks. It's hardly new news now.

Just checked, even my old prison warden, The Daily Express has been reporting on EU flag burning by the protestors last month. Quite hard to claim that the Express is pro EU.
 
Who exactly is going to riot after Brexit? Seriously, who? No one is the answer to that.

Those types of stories are plain embarrassing, anyone actually believing them I despair for.

Far more to do with falling demand for larger SUV's and particularly diesel powered versions than it is to do with Brexit.

Similar story at JLR who have been affected by a 44% fall in sales in China as well as the diesel issue.

But they have just moved the manufacturing to Japan instead - so if it’s the demand that’s the issue why are they continuing with production- if it because of the uncertainty of Brexit and the affects it’s not great - either way it’s a loss of jobs in an area that has had its fair share of issues

You are a bit odd. In your post you mentioned Brexit and the border, are you now denying it with the mandatory insult to back it up.

Seriously ? You were clearly suggesting I was insinuating that the troubles ( bombing ) was down to Brexit and nowhere was that suggested

Your attitude towards people who voted to stay in is a disgrace - you look down on them with some arrogant self entitlement that your vote is more worthy than anyone else’s.

Maybe one day you would actually think of the affect this whole process has on others and how damaging it is for some people - but I don’t think you actually care


Anyway - as for the rioting - won’t happen , dispite all the issues 99% of people will knuckle down and try their very best to make things work regardless ( shame the politicians can’t ) - and you only have to look at the protests that have happened since the vote - remain have protested - peacefully , Yellow hi vests not so much.

Its not the loss of jobs. Not one single Nissan employee or any in any of the service industries supporting Nissan there will lose their job over this. The existing plant remains. Nor are they moving production to Japan. The X-Trail was to be a new plant, and its new investment they missed out on. Facts 'v' spin. Say its jobs losses and it sounds worse.

Will rephrase then -

The new production was to “create” a good number of new jobs in an area that needs them , it was good investment in the manufacturing industry based in the NE - that investment will not be going to the area anymore so those “new” jobs will no longer be created

Either way i guess it’s now just got to the stage of arguing over semantics when the impact of the actual issue is a negative one and according to the company Brexit is one of the reasons why - so either way it’s not good
 
Think this is my first contribution to this thread ( can't be sure of that at my age ) but I have followed it with some interest , the good , the had and the ugly.
I can't recall any mention of Nigel Farage's speech to the EU Assembly.
Not a fan of NF but I thought it was a very strong attack on some reasons people like myself voted out.
