Perhaps there should be a Megxit referendum, a proper 'People's Vote', something else for the remoaners to keep on remoaning about till the next General Election...

 

That maybe correct. Jezza and his Labour muppets just lied on live TV and radio.
Anyway it's all done and dusted now.
Move on Stroller you are sounding all bitter. We now have a proper government with a big majority.
Things will change soon.

 

Wow, Will's well woke...

 

I would imagine that most Remainers couldn't give a toss what the Royals do. It'd be all the little-Englander gammons getting hot under the collar about it.

 

We have a random babble of nonces and inexperienced sycophants but you already know this.

 

Bojo is not a nonce! although I have heard a few rumours about some others...

 

They sniff out hypocracy particularly when the pubic are paying

 

Or far worse, Princess Diana. But then of course, she was black

 

and look what happened to her. Might be a ****ing good reason why they are stepping back.

 

The press are highly shackled compared to the 80's and 90's when it comes to down time of the Royals

There was virtually no coverage of the Sussexes 6 week holiday on Vancouver Island

 

Hair, hair

 

Or maybe they're just a young couple searching for something like a private life - which the rest of us take for granted !

 

No problem with that whatsoever.
But, if that's their choice then they must give up their titles and Royal income, along with Frogmore Cottage.

Airbus Pledges Expansion in the U.K. After Brexit

Airbus SE signaled that it’s ready to move beyond a previously uneasy relationship with the U.K. over Brexit, saying the future of its British wing plants is secure and pledging to work with the government to expand a business that goes from helicopter maintenance to planetary rovers.



Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury said Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, which will see Britain leav
e the European Union on Jan. 31, means the split from the bloc “is at least now for certain,” though the nature of future ties still needs to be worked out.

The European aerospace giant, which employs more than 13,500 people at 25 U.K. sites and supports 100,000 supplier jobs, warned under previous CEO Tom Enders that future production might be in doubt as the prospect of a no-deal Brexit threatened to create border delays and inflate costs. Faury said in November that Britain represents a very strong industrial and technical base that Airbus has no desire to leave and his latest comments indicate a further thawing in relations.



“Airbus is committed to the U.K. and to working with the new government on an ambitious industrial strategy,” Faury said late Wednesday at a company event in London. “We see great potential to improve and expand our operations in the U.K. this year.”



Wings for all Airbus models are made in Britain, chiefly at sites near Chester and Bristol, as well as in Belfast at a plant previously owned by Bombardier Inc. and now operated by Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. The U.K. will also play a vital role in helping Airbus transition to low- and zero-carbon technology, Faury said, while also praising its increased funding for the European Space Agency.

Andrea Leadsom, Johnson’s business secretary, said at the gathering that Britain was proud to be one of four Airbus “home nations” and pledged U.K. support for EU efforts to reach a negotiated settlement in the company’s clash with the U.S. and Boeing Co. over aircraft subsidies.

Britain added 2,000 aerospace jobs last year and the government plans further steps to support Airbus and the sector as a whole after Brexit, she said.
