You see! We'll be fine after Brexit because kind Mr Trump, the US President, will offer us a really excellent trade deal based on massive tariffs designed to protect US jobs

I'm planting daffodil bulbs today at the front of the house. At election times, we are plagued by Liberals knocking on the door urging us to subjugate our parliamentary democracy to the unelected EU Commission. To perhaps deter them, I'm arranging the bulbs in such a way so that when they flower they will spell out 'Heil Hitler'.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

If the USA wants protectionism and their old coal fires let them.

Stay in the EU advancing and in tune with the times.

You seem to admire Varoufakis, here's what he's been saying:

"Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis told the leadership of the U.K. Labour Party to adopt a “radical Remain” stance on Brexit" - supporting remain.

"He said he told them the U.K. “would expend huge amounts of economic and political capital in pursuing withdrawal,” adding: “We can be critical of the EU without seeking to leave it.” - supporting remain again

"“It’s a sad day when the Labour Party is defending the end of free movement and, indeed, promising its end,” he said, but added: “By proposing a genuine transitional period, Labour has shown greater political initiative and seriousness than Theresa May. To maximize this advantage, Corbyn and McDonnell must continue to develop an alternative vision of Brexit.” - he supports freedom of movement of people

Well, that's backfired on you hasn't it? No doubt we'll see you ignore all of this, keep your fingers stuck in your ears and keep on whistling.

No. Really, no. It hasn't. As a grown up, I'm able to distinguish between someone's political views and their experiences negotiating under a similar capacity to those currently doing so under HMgov.

I neither agree with nor admire Varoufakis' political views, but I do find his commentary on the tactics deployed by the EU very informative. One can hold such position, you see.

Meanwhile, you've amply demonstrated why I don't bother contributing on here.

Now, off you f***.

Haha, game, set and match

You can't fashion a counter argument so you diss where he lives. How adult.

europalace, I think you'll find although Corbyn may be against 'free' movement, he's not against movement of labour. He says there's still likely to be a lot. He's more against movement of Labour driving down living standards of British people in Britain. Do you oppose that because emigrating worked for you?

Or is it because you just agree with anything the EU does, regardless of what it is?

Wow, you do tell porky pies don't you? You were talking about me living in Malta and never going to any matches. I replied that my cost of going to 4 or 5 matches a year was around £2500, which is actually more than a season ticket and I bet more than you 'invest' (you called it 'inviolvement' in supporting the club. I also pointed out your lack of basic geography because my username has an Austrian flag next to it. Nothing 'uppity' at all, just pointing out facts that you couldn't then reply to, a bit like our monkey friend here

Look, here, just for you:

The European parliament’s Brexit coordinator has warned the home secretary that Britain’s recent treatment of foreign nationals could “colour” MEPs’ attitudes to whether they approve a future Brexit deal.

I think it already has, and that is the main reason for the delay.

The EU parliament is not represented at the negotiations, much to their annoyance, but they have the final say.

Mrs May and Rudd's treatment of EU nationals is an utter disgrace.

Never thought my country would be like this.
