Everything I said is a fact. You can look it up. Everything you said is your opinion. And the opinion of an idiot is worthless.

The millennium bug didn’t happen because a lot of work and money was spent making sure it wouldn’t be a problem.

If we set up trade deals with very poor countries then they ill want something in return, usually something that we do well and could help develop their country, it could be university places etc. It's not going to be as simple as some people think.

The fact that they seem to have done so quite thoroughly is one of the few bits of good news to come out of the recent political bun-fight.
Why haven’t they released the good scenarios then?

Immigration was certainly a key factor but not because poor white people are racist. This situation has arisen because industrial commubities have been absolutely screwed by the politicians that were elected and the obliteration of their communities all of this is a consequence of the elite punishing the poor. The ironic thing is that people in the poorest areas of the UK where once there was thriving industry (all closed and sold in the name of progress) have intergrated with different cultures for centuries, they've had to. It's only when people become desperate and without hope that they blame the people who are most like them, albeit from a different country. The white working class aren't predominantly racist, just desperate.
I agree with your post, but I would suggest one edit ... areas of the UK where once there was thriving industry (all closed and sold in the name of globalization).

I am commenting on US trade policy as it is happening right now, so I'm not sure where you are getting your ideas from. I listen to what Lighthizer, Ross, Kudlow, Navarro and Mnuchin have to say, and not some clueless prick on a message board :thumbup:

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?

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?

And I would add “and neglected by successive governments of both political persuasions, brainwashed by the gingoistic British press who choose to blame the problems in such places on the EU, when in fact they stand to lose the EU money they currently receive and have been promised nothing by the UK Government to replace it!”

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??????

You are not. What you are doing is speculating on the outcome of US policy as you interpret it. US companies are NOT moving back to America and they never will. Companies have a responsibility to their shareholders, and moving jobs from countries that pay $1 an hour to one that pays $40 an hour is not an option. Companies moving out of China will simply stay elsewhere in the far east. You'd be a lot smarter of you did listen to the opinions of people on this messageboard instead of swallowing whole what people in the present administration feed you without even bothering to chew. OF COURSE Mnuchin et al are going to tell you that their policies are working. Do you actually expect them to tell you any different? You might be a bigger idiot than I thought.

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?

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?

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.
