Labour has had 20 years to get a grip .
Who would have thought that the simple observation that significant amounts of Irish freight that has fuelled its expanding economy travels through the road networks that you think stifled Ineos investment would cause so much confusion for you.

The same Eire that needed 7 billion from UK treasury during the last recession . Such a success.

Re: This Brexit malarkey is going well
interesting discussion on r5 at the moment.
apparently the government has only secured enough permits for 1 In 4 UK haulage firms to be able to pass into the EU.
so in the event of no deal, up to 75% of the industry could be going to the wall very quickly.

Re: This Brexit malarkey is going well
disappointing that the first electric battery gigabyte manufacturing plant will now be located in the north east of england
i bet Nissan up in Sunderland had a say in this . Great news for the UK car industry but not for South Wales obviously with the vale of Glamorgan losing out
Jaguar Land Rover ramping up production in electric vehicles have announced plans to hire over 300 apprentices and under graduates in there Midland factories next year
All this with the threat of a no deal !

Re: This Brexit malarkey is going well
Another sad loss but not due to Brexit
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55262400
An electric battery "gigafactory" which had been planned for Wales will instead be built in the north of England.
Britishvolt signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Welsh Government in July to build the plant in St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan.
However, the 3,000-job factory will be built in Blyth, Northumberland, after Britishvolt said it would not invest in Wales earlier this month.
The Welsh Government said the news was disappointing.
See where this is going better deal , better access etc etc it didn't have to be like this if the last 20 years had been more enterprising in Wales i'm sure its someones else fault though

Including the Welsh voters and thousands of Labour voters in the North .
Created by the Tories backed by many .
Brexit is a strange emotional subject that has changed politics for ever .
There will be pain, but we will recover I'm sure , who knows as none of us really do, it could be for the better only time will tell .

That was Johnson in his 'War Of The Worlds' period.
He should have stayed in his 'McCain' period with the 'oven ready' classic.

Who said it's all doom or gloom.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said just a couple of days ago that the UK "will prosper mightily as an independent nation" - irrespective of whether the two sides "agree trading arrangements resembling those of Australia or Canada".
I was greatly reassured by those calming words because until he said them I thought it was going to be an almighty cluster****. You must be over the moon though!

Re: This Brexit malarkey is going well
Dear Labour Leadership : do you now think not backing Terresa May deal ( however unpalatable politically) was a mistake , as some now say any deal is better than no deal.??
Do you also think if your Leadership at the time had backed strongly the remain campaign , life maybe better now .
I only ask as we're now left with a potentially damaging no deal , and a dangerous PM with a 80 seat majority.
Regards LOM.
PS What is Sir Keir current position ( so quiet ) surely he won't back a Boris deal after pushing away Teresa's or is his fence string abstaining a trend ???

Re: This Brexit malarkey is going well

No it means Singapore is becoming a commercial gate way to Asia for the UK and vise versa , big UK firms like that entry to that market whilst still having bases/jobs in the UK , if you look at Singapore we are one of their biggest traders,there is life after Europe and beyond , perfect world I suppose going forward is we buy our avocados for ones toast directly from the countries they are harvested form not via a secondary European supply market ,Somerset Brie is fine as is Kent Wines and Champers , tally ho chaps .
Positiveness is healthy.

Positivity may be healthy but delusional jingoism is not.
Do you know what you mean by 'commercial gateway to Asia' or is it just words rehashed from something you read in the Express? I am genuinely interested to know what role Singapore might play in future UK exports if not just as one part of a straight trading deal. Do you mean that the UK might not need to race for trade deals with all the other Asian countries that we currently trade with through the EU? That the city state of Singapore might act as an Asian agent for UK plc? Do tell.
I am also interested in your claim about avocados. Not about what you put on your toast (!) but the 'secondary European supply market'. I am no expert, but I understood that most avocados sold in the UK came direct by ship from Israel (and the occupied West Bank). Are you saying that they are unladed and moved to a European warehouse, and left for a while before being reloaded and delivered to the UK - adding time and cost to the transaction? Where did you get that gem from?
You have spent the last 4 years rubbishing the EU and repeating Brexit bullshit, and yet you claim to have voted Remain? Why?

Now in the 4th tier - Regionalliga Nordost - Northeast league.
Their current squad is all German apart from one Lichtenstein player, but 'on 6 April 2001, Energie became the first Bundesliga club to field a side made up of 11 foreign players. Energie often fielded nine or ten foreigners that season.'

Interesting. I had forgotten (or never knew!) that they had had such a decent stint at Bundesliga level.
Back to Brexit, interesting to read that the sadly departed John le Carré had said as follows.
"I’m not just a Remainer. I’m a European through and through, and the rats have taken over the ship.”
"We Brits are all nationalists now. Or so Johnson would have us believe. But to be a nationalist you need enemies and the shabbiest trick in the Brexiteers’ box was to make an enemy of Europe. “Take back control!” they cried, with the unspoken subtext: and hand it to Donald Trump, along with our foreign policy, our economic policy, our health service and, if they can get away with it, our BBC."
Good man. Sad loss.

Did you know that the word 'avocado' (when referring to the fruit) is a Spanish bastardisation of the Aztec word 'āhuacatl', which means testicle.
