This morning the chief executive of Airbus said the company would be forced to make “potentially very harmful decisions for the UK” in the event of a no deal Brexit. In a video statement Tom Enders said: “Please don’t listen to the Brexiteers’ madness which asserts that, because we have huge plants here, we will not move and we will always be here. They are wrong.”

In June Airbus said that it could leave Britain altogether if the country left the EU’s single market and customs union without a transition deal. The aerospace firm employs 14,000 people at 25 sites in Britain.

Boeing will just fill the vacuum.  The UK will no longer succumb to French threats.

The people of the UK decided what they wanted in 2016, it is the MPs who are messing it up in order to suit their own agendas.

Feeding out of the self-interest trough. LABOUR shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer has pocketed £125,000 from one of the law firms that derailed Brexit – including £25,000 since he became MP.

That's the problem. When an MP says 'for the good of the country' it may be that they beleive it or it may be that they're protecting the interests of their sponsors.

Take Yvette Cooper for example, she is leading attempts to destroy BREXIT despite 70% of her constituents voting leave. How on earth can she justify such a position?

The worrying thing is ...are those running teh EU....and controlling our future....any better....I dont think they are

Politics is a dirty game. We don't have much control over our own politicians and we have less over the EU ones. For that reason alone it behoves us to be wary of giving them power over us. In my opinion the smaller and more local the better from a democratic point of view.

I hope that goes well for you G.

That is because his biggest market is in Asia. China in particular.  They have already set aside parts of regions to test  driverless cars.

It takes  a long time to get a drivers licience in China. I get terrified beyond control when I go there... Especially  in the outer parts. No pedestrian crossings- you walk normal and the cars drive around you!!!!!  I advise wearing thick pants!

She can't. But she's no fan of democracy anyway; that was clear when Corbyn was elected Labour Leader.

Please note that the posts relating to Scottish history, nationhood and independence have their own thread.
A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.

None of the Westminster politicians seem to inspire confidence in their capabilities.
Rather worrying at this time of huge decisions.
I wish you well in your forthcoming cataract removal.

It's quite possible that many of the MPs voting on this very important issue have little real knowledge of the pros and cons of leaving the EU

There were a succession of Brexit ministers who were all Leavers, did any of them come up with anything resembling a better deal?  What IS a better deal?  One in which the EU agrees to everything we want?  Well that’s not going to happen, and never was.

One of the brexit ministers (can't remember his name) said as he resigned that he had not had any input in the decision making nor discussions whilst in post.   David Davis also said he hadn't even seen the Checkers proposal until it was unveiled and that was why he resigned.

That makes it a mockery to employ Brexit believing ministers in that post if they are not allowed to be part of the discussions. 

All IMO

Don't you wonder why there have been so many ministers resign? I don't.

I have never had confidence in their capabilities, so no surprises there.

Thank you for the gopd wishes. It's a farly simple procedure done in the day clinic so it should be fine.
