We are having huge difficulty reaching a consensus in Parliament, true. Increasingly, Ireland is under pressure from member states. Yesterday, the EU admitted that a no deal would mean Ireland putting up a hard border. Ireland denied immediately but know one believes it.
Agree if anyone is starting to move lines it's the EU... what about what Poland said? The German minster, the French bloke at Calais again yesterday, not forgetting Barnier tonight.
I reckon we all live in parallel worlds?

I’ll ask again.......Where does it say they WILL move their operation ?

It just pisses me off that all I keep reading is that things ‘COULD’ happen, and people like yourself then state this as fact.
I’m not saying any of this won’t happen, because of course I can’t see into the future, but then again, nor can anyone.

Just like most here just echoing what is written in the papers mate agree it hasn’t happened of course

Speculation I totally agree

None of us little people know much
I have only reported on here what I know regarding the money spent on re location plans which most I know is 100% fact and was completed by Q3 in 2017 by a lot of businesses that we hold accounts on

Who knows what will happen?
But the realism remains that I know many companies based in the U.K. are ready to relocate to the EU ... believe what you want?

I reckon we must. Plan b is plan a. I'm pretty sure the EU see that too. It's May that needs to move her red lines. The stubborn useless bitch hasn't got a Scooby! I reckon article 50 will get extended (if the EU agree) and this ****e will carry on. Like DT says, it's all theatre.

Well that's your take a a pro Euro lover.
This is a business deal and when should not have people undermine our hand.
What concerns me more is when people of this country support the EU in this deal when really any true British citizen should want the best for their country. Maybe we just come from a different stock.

By wanting to stay in the EU , I believe that is what's best for my country. Definately from different stock that's for sure. I'm glad you say British citizen, as I have a large Scottish family whom voted to remain.

I see things slightly differently. The EU seem to be sticking to their guns, wanting May to consider her red lines. We are the ones rattled, anyone, anywhere in the world watching this fiasco can clearly see that.
Right. And they would have seen through it just as clearly if May had started negotiations threatening no deal.

That's the sort of comment I expect from you. I don't know how to take this post trying to somehow compare that bloke with me.

Read you own posts back, pal. When you run out of arguments, you lurch towards crude nationalism. Different stock for ****'s sake!

It would appear that you are actually the one that has run out of ideas and needs to post a picture of some Nazi's comparing it to me.
Firstly the reference is wrong and secondly, out of order. I don't know at the moment what's worse, the post or the fact that someone has actually liked it?
We can all post stupid comments at times but there is no need to start posting crap like that. You don't know me and if you don't like what I have to say don't reply.
 
Violent crime up 19%. Diane Abbott has a lot to answer for.

Or is it Corbyn?

Or the scaremongering police?

I know, Owen Jones!

Airbus say they will move in the event of a no deal. Of course it will take a few years as you don’t just relocate high tech manufacturing overnight. They would just stop investing here and build up elsewhere in Europe. Of course what they are trying to do is influence the outcome - they don’t want to close down in the UK it will be hugely expensive to them, but in the event of a no deal it might, in the long term, be more expensive for them to stay. They might be bluffing, but it’s fine for Brexiters to play chicken with other people’s jobs, naturally.

This may be a threat, it may be a promise, but it certainly isn’t a game of chance.

It’s Toulouse SB a bit of Brexit stuff now making its way into the foreign rags ... yep they think we are mad and nope Ellers Europe is not suddenly going to implode or run away ... they will remain a very strong power house in the world

Meanwhile the U.K. has to reinvent itself from a very weakened position with a divided nation all because some believe we are still the best at everything

Time to bury the Churchill generation imo
We threw him away anyway after 46 as we do with any of our heroes.... 10- 15 years later we reinvent history and feed it to the sheep

I challenge again show me a business leader who has a plan for Brexit

QPR fans of the remain type do not worry I am building an arc ... all welcome

Oh so you’re building an arc mmmmmmmm ahhhhhh you mean a rainbow because in event of a flood you might actually need an ARK !!!
So why are Airbus spending millions of pounds building an academy in Broughton in Chester, why are they upgrading and improving their productivity and production systems in Broughton in Chester and why have they just purchased a new type of trailer costing over £ 2 million each for transporting the wings built in Broughton Chester down to Toulouse.
Stop believing your own bulls**t, next you’ll be telling us that the Corrupt 4th Reich oops sorry Corrupt EU is a good thing.
