    You're not using precious properly in a sentence, so are you Gollum?

    Strange comment. Can you please explain why you cannot be financially successful and also value so called 'important things'?
    It sounds like the politics of envy.

    Anyone who thinks that creating a trade barrier with our 28 nearest markets is somehow not going to significantly damage our economy is living on cloud cuckoo.

    Well I guess we will have to see but seeing as nothing appears to be happening in term of progress or signs of agreement the likelihood must be that we just walk away come March 2019.

    The main issue over Brexit seemed to be Immigration - has there been much talk about that?

    I think walking away in March would be the worst possible thing the UK govt could do for England - I'm fairly certain they'd quickly lose at least two Union members.

    As far as immigration goes, from what I've read May appears to be taking an entirely unreasonable stance - she seems to think that UK ex-pats living in EU countries should retain the right to freedom of movement, but is tellingly refusing to talk about the rights of EU citizens currently living here. She won't budge (yet) & neither will the EU.

    She has got herself into this mess because she wishes to treat people in different ways. It is not about just travel, but about having your professional qualifications for example accepted throughout the EU. As soon as you start playing around with those rules you can be rightly accused of discrimination. She was useless at the Home Office and has come back for a second bite of the cherry, and is now up a creek without a paddle. I fully expect her to start talking about the caste system before too long.

    As reported earlier in the year there was one empty flagpole on the roundabout in town. Clearly now everyone can see the UK hanging around for some more years, so today a nice new Union Flag has been put back in it's rightful place.

    The locals are desperate for any help to stop Macron's push for an EU superstate.

    I'm sure nobody knows what you are talking about, including you.
