That can be blamed on remainers and hard Brexiteers. Uncertainty and the fact Brexit hasn’t happened is the Brexit impact on British steel, not Brexit itself. If Brexit hadve happened already either via no deal or a deal, then British steel wouldn’t be bust.

Just had a thought, yes I know I should go and lie down... I believe that the EU is undemocratic and that real power lies with the unelected. However some Remainers are now arguing that if the Brexit party wins tomorrow it is meaningless. Shouldn't they be arguing that the European parliament and it's MEPs are incredibly important? Time for a lie down. It is meaningless in the context of making any kind of contribution towards resolving the current Brexit mess as it has no bearing whatsoever on domestic politics. If some kind of Brexit is eventually agreed then it will also be meaningless in EU terms because those whom we send there tomorrow will have to resign their seats. It is a pointless waste of time and money and I have heard several people saying they will spoil their votes to emphasise that is how they feel.

Pot and kettle...oh the irony Not at all. I read a lot of contrary opinions, including your own, and do indeed learn a lot from them. Learning doesn't imply agreement but it can help to understand the thinking and then cause you to reflect and challenge your own reasoning to check it remains sound. Try it. It doesn't hurt.

The link doesn't work and we are leaving.....The polls before the Brexit vote had remain winning as well. Tomorrow the Brexit party will win the MEP elections. You are on the wrong side of this and tomorrow is going to be fun. Link works fine, check again. Polls are often wrong but there is a huge reason there are so many pussies not willing to ask the question a second time. Btw will you go to Scunny, stirlingsays? Would love to see someone who had the balls to go and sit with a bloke about to lose his job and house, due in large part to this brexit fiasco. Edited by Maine Eagle (23 May 2019 12.20am)
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

I'm guessing that many of the Scunny workers will be aware that much of the steel company's current financial problems are down to the EU putting the boot in. Interesting article here [Link]

Just imagine if we all united ,thought positively and moved forward all together.

Edited by Maine Eagle (23 May 2019 12.20am) Just like you do with the Trump thread you talk in half truths. Those jobs have been lost out of uncertainty and EU rules and could have been saved if remainers had allowed the UK to leave in March. I'll go down and talk to people when you agree to talk to UK fishermen who lost their jobs and livelihoods due to EU fishing and rules in our waters.

I'm guessing that many of the Scunny workers will be aware that much of the steel company's current financial problems are down to the EU putting the boot in. Interesting article here [Link] Scunny has been on the decline and in serious trouble for some time, way before the referendum. If the government had wrapped up leaving the EU in a timely manner they might have stood a chance of a turn around given the new trade deals we should've been forging with alternative partners. As it is, it's the uncertainty rather than leaving the EU which is slowing down business now. Brexit being a disaster for jobs and industry is a myth. I know of two German companies in my sector who have taken premises and employed staff in the UK to avoid and negative impact on their ability to operate here post withdrawal from the EU. It should've been so beautiful but a remainer PM backed by traitorous elitists have conspired to try and ruin our chances of success. Unsurprisingly, our economy is so resilient that it's grown despite this and unemployment is at a record low. Goes to show you what use MPs actually are, country is running itself.

It is a pointless waste of time and money and I have heard several people saying they will spoil their votes to emphasise that is how they feel. I did not want these elections either. However today the public will kick the Tories and Labour in the pants and send a message very clearly that we want Brexit. It plus May's useless deal will finally do for her. I expect her to resign Friday or by latest Monday when the results are known. If any potential Tory leaders have any sense they will make it clear that if elected we will just leave and will call a GE if necessary to get the votes in parliament.
