Airbus ready to leave if there is a hard Brexit and no concessions for the Aircraft industry!
I'm not sure I like the idea of cherry picking industries/companies to protect from a hard brexit! If they do go hard, then it should be the same rules for everybody!

Jokes aside, I would say there is a very high probability it won't happen, but only due to a secrative, undisclosed deal done between Airbus and the government (a-la-Nissan) which will no doubt cost the tax-payer a fortune!
It wouldn't surprise me if at the end of it all, we're paying more than £350mil a week in subsidies to all the international companies who would otherwise have left the UK! Lets not pay all this money to Brussels where a large amount will be invested in regional development, scientific research, farming and fishing subsidies and other good causes, no lets pay it to international corporations so their CEO's and shareholders (i.e. Tory ministers) can get richer and then will probably f**k off in a few years anyway!

Yes to all of the above... and wait for it... this is where my problems with the Police and the Military come into play... They are the 'Enablers' ... They protect and do the bidding of these people... but are too stupid/brainwashed to realise it... yet at the end of the day they get screwed as much if not worse than the rest of us... just look at what happens to war veterans and the wounded and now the Police are going to get shafted even more than they already are, as well as being abused/blamed by the public and media.
All these poor dumb ******* do is go out there and put their lives on the line for the rich...and what do they get in return... sweet FA...
But hey, if they're too stupid to realise it... who am I to tell them any different.

There is some evidence although the results are somewhat questionable! Although there is some questions of late on the reliablity of 'scientific' polls, I'm somewhat inclined to believe this poll of polls from local newspapers who have asked people on the street than national polls compiled from cold-calling people - I would certainly be more inclined to tell the truth to someone polling me on the street affiliated with my local rag than some cold-caller interrupting my evening in front of the telly!

This is also an interesting read that shows people support leave even though they know they will be worse off! What's really interesting is the age spread and how its overwhelmingly the old people who are pro leave and its also the old people who are less likely to be worse off! The coffin dodgers have really screwed it for the youth of the country!
You have to wonder what the people are thinking though to say I want this even though its going to make most people poorer!

My point exactly. There is no real evidence to suggest that 'the majority of people no longer want anything to do with Brexit'

and what would I be doing out on the street late at night. 
But hey you buy into the bollocks, it's what feeds the machine... try and imagine a place where there is not so much inequality that certain segments of society don't even exist... let alone feel the need to prey on those more vulnerable than themselves.... wonder who'd want to perpetuate a society like that??? as opposed to solving poverty... lets keep everything to ourselves.
Something like 350 people own half the worlds wealth, and it's getting worse, we get less and less, while they get more and more.
Think about it..........
P.s What would the Police do in the face of a real criminal, turn up with tazers and a dog and then run off screaming with the dog and their tail between their legs.
You call them if you need them, personally I feel sorry for the poor ******* that that tries into my house, because he's going to be my dogs dinner long before he gets in, he's got to deal with 60kg of teeth and bad attitude and that's before I set my Mrs on him.

Yep, more sniping from one of our resident drones... You're not allowed to have an opinion... you sold your rights to faceless corporate greed...for a pittance I might add.

Ditchy you seem to have some serious chip on your shoulder about the army, did you fail the entrance test or something

As for the brain washing and conspiracy theories, if you can't see what's going on in this world... who am I to educate you... seems like that's already been taken care of.
I'm pleased my stories have entertained you but sad that you find them unbelievable, must be a pretty sad existence you lead to think my life is so way out there.
Back in the day I used to have Brandy with my Babycham, it was quite potent and expensive... so I never spilled a drop, you'll probably find that difficult to believe too.
