    The only stat you remoaners find difficult is, 52% of the people voted to leave the corrupt EU in the biggest turnout Britain has seen in a lifetime, so you can go looking on the msm websites to comfort yourselves and get as much fake news about stats as you like, it makes no difference, YOU LOST

    I’m doing a crash courses in Vegetable Farming for Smallholders and Firearms Training. Is that what you meant?

    But Theresa has said there won’t be a second referendum, so why do you say there won’t be another vote?<whistle>

    Interesting read, and somewhat sensationalised. The mother & son could easily be reunited. She's only a short hop away on a plane, but clearly values remaining in this country more than being reunited with her son. No doubt she will draw it out as long as possible whilst he remains in Belgium.

    Whether the rules are right or wrong is a different argument. I'm simply commenting on them being reunited, which appears to be the central theme of this particular story.

    Reads to me that both parents are immigrants with no right to be in the country,should be reunited in Belgium,if you go and drop a kid in a foreign country,doesn't give the whole family a right to live there.

    The bstards changed the facts in the story after I commented, it’s still there but rewritten. Someone got it wrong the first time.

    Looks the same to me, but I'm guessing they'd already changed it before I got to read it. What was different about it, btw? I like a good scandal. :)

    - the weather (but not global warming)
    - the intransigent EU
    - remainers for undermining it
    - foreigners for being foreign
    - May for not doing it properly
    - cake for disappearing just because it’s been eaten
    - the British people for being unworthy of the Brexiteers greatness
    - British business for failing to see the market opportunity a trade deal with Chad represents
    - did we mention foreigners?
    - not Donald Trump as he would have given us the best deal ever, it’s just that he’s a complete &&&&
    - experts
    - international financiers (many of whom may well be Jewish) for speculating our economy will be crap post Brexit
    - the sunlit uplands for being a rain infested swamp
    - this may be the time to mention foreigners?

    It doesn't matter if we leave or not the whole of Europe is going to blow up within the next few years, the fact that red tape signed and agreed by corrupt governments since we joined the Common Market 45 years ago shows the public's interest has not for one moment been served in this time.
    Being a part of the EU has been compared to a marriage and leaving being a divorce, when in this case I feel sorry for the poor bloke who has to remain married to the old hag thats bleed him dry for years and will continue to do so due to a unwritten 'you're going nowhere mate!!' clause in the small print.
    Personally if I was in charge I would break every agreement made, obstruct every motion carried forward,refuse all immigration dictates and ignore all European laws forcing them to expel us from the Union, which is basically another USSR and Yugoslavia.

    Just today I had to rebook a flight for a friend as the airline has cancelled the route so they were trying to get him to go via a stop in Amsterdam instead - reminded them of EU regulations and they've now put him on a direct flight with another airline. America has no such provisions.

    Last month was on holiday in Mallorca and enjoyed being able to use data overseas thanks to EU regulations.

    Both of those examples are clearly in the public's interests (along with clean water regulations, 48 hour working week directive etc etc)

    Norway and Iceland are in the EEA so are covered by the DSM (Digital Single Market) as part of the single market but Theresa May has ruled out being part of the single market.
