    Sb, do you not find your post patronising? There used to be someone at Uni many moons ago that would come out with that sort of question. Sadly for him when it got down to it, he wasn’t really as clever as he thought.

    Bollards could be placed around Manchester’s busiest spots to prevent people being run down by vehicles in a terror attack. The council will spend more than £250000 on ‘hostile vehicle mitigation’ following advice from counter-terror police


    ‘hostile vehicle mitigation’
    who thinks up these names
    is there a committee

    Jaguar Land Rover to make 5,000 of its 40,000 UK workforce redundant after Christmas.

    Reasons - Brexit, collapse in demand for diesel cars and reduced demand in China. I also know that they have failed to reduce the number of faults and stoppages on their production lines in Coventry and Solihull, and are moving to a contract manufacturing model, getting third parties to make their cars. First factory doing this is in Slovakia.

    Whatever the reasons, a stressful Christmas for a lot of people directly employed by JLR and in the supply chain.

    No I don’t, I really want to know what KPD has to say on the subject which he raised. I think he can respond for himself, if he doesn’t want to that’s fine as well. He seems to have a lot more about him than you, so I’m genuinely interested.

    Happy now?

    Sorry Quality I have been busy and missed the news so I don't know whats happened so here we go...

    Firstly I would want us to leave and go for a free trade deal (organised departure). All the rubbish about Planes/food/medicines has been debunked and just about all are now saying, none of this will happen. Other than the project fear brigade.

    I am flying to Germany after the date so will the German airline tell me I can't go if there is a no deal? They haven’t sent me anything other than looking forward to seeing me.

    I would also keep the money and tell them they will only get it if there are deals… If not we use it here.

    I have said all along that there would not be a ‘losers vote’ due to the complications it would cause. The other day I was 100% happy it wouldn’t happen… Today i’m 80% sure it wont happen. There will be hell to pay if they go against this. Especially if they rig it in favour of Remain. Hopefully it’s just the toxic Blair trying to save his Euro friends or audition for a Euro job?

    Finally what do I see happening?
    It will come down to a no deal leaving in March or May’s deal with amendments.

    No deal
    Will be done in a way that won’t be a ‘cliff edge’… Things to carry on until sorted (transition). Ireland will back down over backstop as we keep them afloat.

    I think with a no deal we will thrive after the initial bumpy start.

    May’s deal
    Depends who gives in as date gets too close to a no deal? As I said I see amendments from Brussels that will please enough to get through. Not happy with it but would rather take that than another vote.

    It’s too close to call at the moment.

    You must not post this sort of thing old chap, it upsets and offends le petit croissant le sock, as you well know he has stated this sort of thing does not happen anywhere in the magnificent EU and is all made up by rogue journalists to destabilise the absolutely smooth running of said magnificence!!!

    Really, you aren't aware of the structural differences between the UK, Germany and France ??

    You have a bit of reading to do

    Not happy to answer the question then? I’ll just have to make an assumption in that case.
    another one who doesn’t want to answer a question coming directly from their own post? You said that the UK had a distinct economic structure and ‘ideology’ from Europe and I am genuinely curious to know what you meant. I may have my own interpretation/understanding/opinion but I am interested to know what yours is.

    Comment, create, debate. It’s all a bit of fun.
