    Personally, I want May’s Brexit solution, plus use of the swivel chair in future negotiations, the automatic bottle-opener that was used at the Christmas party, plus Barnier’s wife’s recipe for ratatouille.

    Can you read Legalese ?
    Have you read the Lisbon 2020 treaty ?
    Do have any idea of the plans of the corrupt EU ?
    Have you any idea of the damage the EU has done to our manufacturing output by paying firms vast amounts of our own money to move their manufacturing operations to Eastern Europe to provide these regions with jobs, not caring about the devastation this has done to the areas and people involved.
    They (the EU) are a bunch of un-elected, failed politicians who in all honesty should not be allowed to run a Bath never mind run a multi trillion euro project.
    You keep asking us brexiteers to give you a forward thinking plan, how about you give us YOUR plans for when we leave instead of just calling us idiots, blue sheep etc, etc and sticking to the Remain mantra of doom and gloom which by and large has proved to be just scaremongering, start by naming all these so called “ massive firms” you are helping to move (not including Airbus which I proved you wrong on already and who are in fact investing hundreds of millions in upping production and facilities in Broughton in Chester).
    Even your major scaremongerer Mark Carney at the Bank of England now says it won’t be anywhere near as bad as he originally stated.
    Can you explain the fact the Pound now gets about 6 cents more in the exchange rate than it did just a few weeks ago and appears to be increasing more as a no deal Brexit is becoming more likely.
    Start by answering these, I doubt you can in all honesty !

    And yet the opinion polls now are virtually identical to those before the referendum.

    My tolerance is being stretched by Remain MPs labelling Brexit voters "far right racist bigots" whilst one of their number comes to work in an ankle tag, others have stood down for drug related offences and a Labour Lord is up for *****philia

    Not raging at all you fool.
    You're the one who can't debate.
    You resort to childish insults and wind ups whenever the argument is beyond you.

    Many of us have been saying that, had the useless government handled the negotiations differently from day one, we would have had a deal.
    They have been useless, as have virtually all parliamentarians
    There were lies on both sides.

    Eurostar services from London St Pancras were back on track tonight as the majority of trains left the station as planned after midday.
    It comes after the high-speed railway service suspended all trains to and from St Pancras this morning because a pro-Brexit protester waving a St George flag climbed on to the roof of a terminal and remained there for 12 hours.
    Eurostar said that they had suspended all services due to 'a person on the tracks', having already cancelled services last night because of the the lone-protester.
    A 44-year-old man was arrested for obstruction of the railway line as pictures showed him being led off around 7am by police right beside the tracks which had the power cut. As of 11am, trains were running again, although there was still a backlog of thousands of passengers.
    But after midday, services began to return to normal, with the 1.31pm train to Paris Gare du Nord being the only departure cancelled in the afternoon, according to Eurostar's website.
    A spokesman for Eurostar confirmed tonight that 'the situation had returned to normal'.

    The lone protester caused hours of travel chaos with Eurostar saying: 'We strongly recommend you not travel this morning.'
    The company added that travellers can cancel their journey and get a ticket free of charge for a different date despite initially saying that travel would resume at 9:45am.
    But some Twitter users stuck in St Pancras claimed that Eurostar informed them that services were suspended right up until the afternoon. Services now seem to be back underway with delays.

    People crowd staff as they wait due to Eurostar delays at St Pancras Railway Station in London. Delays also affected Paris
    One man tweeted a message saying that staff in Paris's Gare du Nord station told him that trains will be cancelled all day.
    National Rail tweeted that Eurostar services were due to resume but Southeastern services at London St Pancras International were pushed back until 11 am with disruptions on the international services expected have a knock-on effect until 12.
    Pictures from inside the London station show the extent of the crowds and also depict a lone Eurostar staffer crowded by people demanding answers.
    The help desk was also pictured empty as people are growing increasingly frustrated with the company.
    This morning, a Twitter user wrote: 'Wanna know why St Pancras and all the trains are messed up? The flag waving b***-end is o n top of the high speed tracks.'

    International departures at St Pancras was empty as people queued beside it waiting for answers from overwhelmed staff
    Southeastern services were also heavily disrupted. The high powered lines had to be shut down due to the risk of electrocution.
    Eurostar tweeted in French and English to break the news of cancellations, causing meltdown with some people saying they are now stuck in France and Brussels.
    An account called London Traffic Watch also claimed that up to 100 people were waiting outside St Pancras at the taxi rank with cabs unable to make their way in due to 'cars ignoring restrictions into Pancras Rd & large amount of Buses now using the road.'

    The main concourse at St Pancras this morning was wedged full of people as delays hit hard because of the lone-protester
    One person affected, Ruth Etherington tweeted calling the apparent protester Mr Brexiteer. She said: 'Big love Eurostar and Mr Brexiteer - you've ruined my birthday and the rest of my life #revokearticle50'
    A person stuck on the French side of the chaos said that 'I guess I will have to swim when I go to England now.'
    Services to Brussels were also heavily affected. A total of two trains leaving London have been suspended according to an email sent to customers, with three leaving Paris and two leaving Brussels also suspended.
    This means that up to 5,250 people could have been affected as there is a capacity of around 750 per train.

    ?? That doesn't answer my question at all. Uber managed it and to load some humour into his answer. Well? Do you want me to repeat the question?

    I saw a thing before, which I think was aimed at Republicans but along the same theme of the Tories being people on £500 an hour convincing people on £25 an hour that they’re wealthy enough to see people on £8 an hour as the problem.

    But apart from the protectionism, the over-regulation, the bureaucracy, the inflated prices, the ever closer union, the £13 billion a year, the corporatism, the lack of accountability, the democratic deficit and the meme ban, why do you want to leave the EU?
