    Ok guys.
    At least we can take the edge off by laughing at another country's leader's handling of a crisis.

    It's particularly stupid because this is a direct result of climate change. Warm air is pushing into the Arctic from Russia, which is fracturing the polar vortex and forcing extremely cold air down into the habitable bits of North America. Isn't something new, either; here in the East Coast, we endured a good month straight of -20 C when this happened a couple years back, which isn't our norm.

    Yup. More energy in the atmosphere means more to power weather like this. Tried to have a jab at climatologists, ****ed up the science and then typo'd it.

    Nissan cancels investment in Sunderland plant.

    I'm sure someone might be able to tell us why this is nothing to do with Brexit if they hadn't retreated to their Guido Fawkes/ERG/Conservative Home/Spectator echo chamber where nothing, ever, is because of Brexit.

    I wonder when we'll hear some good Brexit news?

    What a ****ing triumph!

    The Nissan news is bad news for the automotive industry here. It had been on a bit of an upward curve until 2/3 years ago.

    Because it gets boring. Not a retreat, just gets tedious the constant entrenchment on both sides (yes me too.)

    Nissan has not cancelled investment in its Sunderland plant as you have stated. They will still be investing in their current setup. They have cancelled the EXTRA investment that they had promised for a new planned motor. Something they want to develop but in the current climate we will have to wait and see if they actually do develop this new "SUV" anywhere.

    Good Brexit news will be when it happens AFAIAC. We could go back and forth pushing our own interpretations of what is happening supported by like minded interpretations that counter each other. Gets nowhere.

    Daniel Kawczynski‏ is a British Conservative MP. He posted this yesterday. Britain received 24% of the cash paid out by the Marshall plan, the largest amount of any country. This tweet has been shown to be a lie yet he leaves it there. He uses this lie to threaten Europe with some form of retribution. I repeat, Daniel Kawczynski‏ is a British Conservative MP.

    Daniel Kawczynski‏ is a British Conservative MP who, a week ago, asked the Polish government to veto any request from the UK to extend the Article 50 date. That means that his desire to 'take back control' extends to asking a foreign government to interfere in a process to benefit his side. Daniel Kawczynski‏ is a British Conservative MP

    What a ****ing triumph!

    You haven't answered the question I posed about bad Brexit news. If loads of decisions like this were flooding in and the companies were saying "Yes, this is 100% because of Brexit. We've decided that we can't invest because of Brexit. It's Brexit, there is no other reason; nothing else", would you still be supporting Brexit?

    You should reread that and pretend it was written by someone other than you. It's nonsense. It's positively Rees-Moggian in its disingenuousness.

    Whether it’s the fault of Brexit or not (it is, by the way) it doesn’t bode well for post-Brexit Britain if all these companies are moving their investments elsewhere, does it? If companies like Airbus, Nissan, and, yes, Dyson, are moving parts of their operations to other countries, where is our future economic growth coming from? Especially when even Brexit drivers like Rees-Mogg are moving their funds abroad.
