After the ruling of the Supreme Court surely he has to resign? I’m not wanting to start a brexit post here. His actions have been ruled unlawful by our most senior court, not been a great few days coming after the revelations of his dalliance with the American woman

All about self-interest, eh?
To you in particular:
No, it's about not wishing to engage with someone with such an utterly prejudiced view of those with a different opinion. Your words regarding Leave voters are on a similar level with racism or sexism - classifying people according to a specific characteristic
I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to retract that view, but you haven't - instead you tried to make a clever remark, exacerbating it

Germany isn't yet in recession, the economy having shrunk by 0.1% in the last quarter, following a growth the quarter before. True; it's likely to fall into recession soon, but seeing as the UK economy contracted by double the rate of the German economy, and is also set to fall into recession, I don't understand your point, as we are, according to Government data, doing twice as poorly as the Germans, despite the huge fall in the value of the £, which should have been a massive boost to exporters, but isn't.
The whole of Europe is seeing a negative effect from the protracted and totally humiliating Brexit negotiations, which are causing havoc for all of UK manufacturing industires.
Lord help us if we leave with no deal and have to rely on WTO terms. Prepare for a national outcry when people actually realise what they have done, and what they were never told . And that's without mentioning the N Ireland border mess, which could wreck the Good Friday agreement and bring a return to terrorist activities.
This is why the whole Brexit debate has no winners and losers... for every positive, there are negatives, and vice versa. It's a bloody mess, and one we should never have been taken into.
You say the UK economy is set to fall into recession as if it’s a fact. Well according to some reports out today, it probably isn’t. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-7520401/UK-recession-fears-l Strangely enough I had the exact conversation in a pub before the game at OT last Wednesday, where I showed the person some figures and how the economy has been a bit distorted because of the uncertainty of Brexit. The person I was talking to, was talking ballox about Britain’s car manufacturing woes as well, blaming everything on Brexit even though some manufacturers themselves have said their problems aren’t Brexit related. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47287386

And you dare to accuse me of cut and pastig without knowlede of the subject ... I give you facts, can you now present your so-called benefits that outweigh them and then we can debate their relative merits? Simply accusing others without producing the details of your own argument is puerile nonsense. Mind you I expected little else.
You're wrong where you repeated what you read on the internet about the "German Car Industry", and I can fully quantify my assertion:
2 days a week I teach, English, in a tier-two automotive supply chain company. Anything VW ([sub]group(s)), Daimler, BMW produced in the last 8-11 years, depending on manufacturer, contains varying percentages of their 'stuff'.
The German automotive industry is switching from combustion-technology to electrotechnology. The burn rate on R&D investment, facility adaption etc. etc. is mind-boggling.
As part of my companies translation and proofreading service, last month, I oversaw, from an English language perspective, a document outlining the confidentiality agreement pertaining to future (and existing) technologies.
Projects which have been running for 3 years (of 6) are being extended currently and the FPIF contracts are all being upgraded (higher output/more demand).
Based on my knowledge from a company rooted in this industry, I can put forth my view that the German Automotive industry is going through a tough time, but the amount of it influenced/caused by Brexit is negligible. You've (all) been waiting for the "German Car Industry" to come running/pushing Merkl for a free trade deal/bla bla deal since vote day, but I'm afraid you're way off.
Deal or no deal, they don't give a fúck - deal = relative continuation, no deal = competing on a level playing field with the rest of the world's manufacturers who, cannot now in the days of combustion and will not in the future of electro, be able to compete with ze Germans.
Unless you decide to start walking to work or taking a bicycle... or buy a British car...

Wanting to leave the EU is an opinion. It’s not a ‘characteristic’. To liken the criticism you receive for that opinion, criticism you rightly give the other way I may add, to being a victim of racism or sexism is quite frankly embarrassing. Your post is an example of playing the victim card par excellence.

A retraction, rather than more struggling blather, is all you need to do

Alright, I fooking will.
Here’s another one for you, you oppressed flower you.
Sometimes it’s hard to be a leaver. Believing it’s about kippers from the Isle of Man. We had good times before May’s redlines and Remainers keep saying things we don’t understand. But if you love him you’ll believe him. Even though he gave that yank he fooked a hundred grand. Let’s hope the Queen will forgive him. Even though he’s got a wandering hand, cause after all Boris is your man. Stand by your man. Give him two journalists to cling on to. Stand by your man Because he’s got a fantastic trade deal with Nauru.
Here's an interesting excerpt from an article i've just been reading in the Sunday Times. It's written in his regular column in the Business Section (pg 4) by the highly respected and experienced US economist and business advisor, Irwin Selzer, whose balanced views make him a must-read. This week, it was about comparisons between Boris Johnson & Donald Trump
I'll quote just two paragraphs:
"Both countries are facing man-made trauma. In Britain, the prime minister is creating uncertainty by insisting he will somehow carry out the expressed will of the people, and by October 31, even if he cannot get a deal with the EU. Trump is creating uncertainty with his trade-policy-by-tweet, with the prospect of a settlement alternating with grim news about the impossibility of a deal with the perfidious Chinese almost hourly.
Both have powerful, self-interested opponents. The EU bureaucrats have a strong incentive to leave Britain worse off after Brexit lest other countries, especially those lumbered with Germany's favourite currency, the euro, see the virtues of abandoning the organisation that pays their salaries."
Now, it's not a matter of whether he's right on every single point (and there's a lot more in the full article). For instance, the initial point around "creating uncertainty" by the two leaders doesn't take into account the wider uncertainty caused by delay and three and half years of political fudge. Interesting to note that he knows how to use the expression "self-interest" though (at the start of the second paragraph) in the full knowledge that intelligent readers will understand what he means by the expression in it's context
It’s been announced that an extension will be asked for if a deal hasn’t been reached by the 31st. So much for dying in a ditch. Also reported that there has been secret meeting with Hungary and they have been asked by the government to veto the extension. Read into that what you will.

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that, similar to Bury fans, Brexiteers actually want to be lied to. Like Stewie Day, Boris tickles bellies. I just can’t quite believe how many roll over with bellies protruding. If that’s what they want to do then fair enough I suppose, just don’t be surprised, shocked, angry and/or disappointed when the reality of the lies end up being errrrrrr lies.

Actually, bury fans are very much like remoaners, not accepting the inevitable and trying every dirty trick in the book to try and stop the inevitable from happening. They lost the battle eventually, and so will the Remoaners.

Not much of a "secret meeting" if everyone knows about it . Maybe just another layer of disinformation to put the wind up the EU negotiators?
