    From someone who has slagged off Labour for overspending, do you not think that all the money spent on Brexit is a complete waste, or are you all for spending billions of tax payer money (sorry, hiking up the national debt to record levels and allowing my kids to pay for it while people like you have no obligation to pay for it) on ensuring the elite and establishment can carry on avoiding tax?

    Why would you rather get into bed with the effing Yanks? I guess it's to sell off the NHS.

    Because they are permanently reshaping the global economy away from globalization, and it is already having a negative effect on countries such as China and Germany. Are you this clueless in real life?

    For your edification young man

    I have looked up what Diabetes UK have to say on the matter but wanted to know where they disagreed with what I said (that insulin can be stored in a fridge for a year and there was no excuse for any shortages. This latter point was actually aimed at the Govt incidentally.).

    My wife has been an insulin dependant diabetic for over 20 years now.

    I have probably been with her to see the consultant more times than many on here have had hot dinners.

    Last year I was twice told (in June and then November) that due to the serious infections she had due on no small part to the problems caused by her diabetes that there was no point in resusitating her if her heart stopped. On the second occasion they did not think she would last the night.

    I know where my loyalties lie thanks very much. And I know a fair amount about diabetes

    My original post and others on this post were not meant to be political but you and some other posters seem as always to take them as such.

    Oh and finally I have just checked my wifes insulin in the fridge and both types are to be used by the end of July 2021.

    Or have the manufacturers got it wrong??????

    Although I do actually agree with the point you are making. The UK government has hardly covered itself in glory in its... strategy for Brexit but the zeal with which the EU has attacked the notion of leaving rather highlights one of the reasons people actually wanted out in the first place. If the EU institutions really did consider national governments to be sovereign they have been pretty negligent in constructing the EU as it stands today, where extraction is impossible to navigate and very little assistance given (in fact the opposite).
    How have they made it hard to leave?

    During the Referendum campaign, Corbyn replied seven when asked to grade how much of a remainer he was on a scale of one to ten. If his answer had been one or two lower than that, I think I would have believed him - he's not had a Gluey type road to Damascus conversion, but he's become more pragmatic about things, probably to the detriment of his party at the ballot box.

    No they aren't, they know that is impossible.

    His voting record suggests he has adjusted his position. What evidence is there to oppose that? Lots of people claiming to know what he is thinking in articles in newspapers that don't like him?

    It's interesting that the biggest difficulties in reversing out of the EU highlighted in Yellowhammer are around the functioning of a modern economy given the level of integration in the single market. The drive to complete the creation of the single market, which had effectively stalled in the 1980's was very much the brainchild of Margaret Thatcher. This has fused our economy and harmonised our rules and processes in a way that few would have thought possible beforehand.

    Extricating ourselves from the single market (not necessary to honour the referendum result to leave the EU but one of our red lines) makes it hard to leave but this is a consequence of our choice not the EU's. Ironic that potentially the UK's greatest contribution to shaping the EU as it looks today is the biggest stumbling block to a painless extraction!

    Why are you blaming the EU for no deal? That's what the document is about (not simply brexit). It's the UK that voted multiple times against a deal (technically against a withdrawal agreement, but that's the first step to a deal).

    The EU have always said they wanted a deal. The UK have said "no deal is better than a bad deal". So who's most at fault?

    So I can put you down as someone who believes want Trump says, will happily trade our free health care and wants to turn us into a county like America where those at the bottom are treated like shit and racism is far more rife.

    You call me clueless?

    He literally has no idea what he's talking about. He doesn't even know the meaning of the terms he uses. (Why the ****ing **** would a large, capitalist country want to steer the world away from globalization - it makes no sense and it can't be done) He obviously gets his opinions spoon-fed to him from whacko, right-wing websites. Invoking Wilbur Ross FFS! (you should spend a few minutes looking him up if you don't know who he is) It's a joke. Do yourself a favour and put him on ignore. Serenity now!

    WB thinks Trump is an anti-globalist. He's obviously missed the last three decades where Trump's business model has been to build a tower with his name on in as many countries as possible.

    If more people put him on ignore, the board would be much better.

    And the part where Trump and his entire family had all the dry goods they were peddling in the US and elsewhere manufactured in China and Mexico.

    I can see you are a Rachael Madcow arse licker type of person

    BTW I have bookmarked your comments where you state categorically that current US economic policy is ineffective and will not produce any positive results. We can revisit this topic at some point in the future, when we have more data that either backs up or disproves your statement of fact.

    Corbyn has stood up for what he believes in. Boris is a charlatan who has got by on bluster, lies, laziness, arrogance while being a racist, homophobic, xenophobe. But yes, they're equally bad.
