Nonesense. Doing the best for your family given the situation whilst doing your best for all to improve the situation are both honourable actions.

Away with your sanctimonious finger pointing.

I didn't hear about you refusing to take money from the house buying immigrants before, that you howl about now.

Your argument swings right back between your legs.

Four ways that the UK can take advantage of a lower pound:

in fact, devaluation can be a good thing. Central banks have been trying to engineer their currencies down for five years. The International Monetary Fund recommends it as part of its package for economies in trouble.

Also today, Barclaycard says that consumer confidence last month is the highest since 2014.

Paul Lockstone, Managing Director at Barclaycard, said: 'For the first time since Barclaycard began tracking consumer confidence in 2014, more people now tell us they feel confident about the UK economy than those who don’t, and the proportion has jumped since the EU Referendum vote in June.

Brexit is about returning power to the people not returning power to politicians. It's about making politicians do what the people want - not what politicians (and big multi- nationals) want. Politicians having a vote that puts them at odds with the referendum result how does that help?

How would giving Parliament a vote on the terms of withdrawal be 'at odds with the referendum result'?

parliament can vote on anything they like at any time

There are precise rules on what gets put before MPs to vote on in the Commons.

I'm pretty sure that "anything they like at any time" is not featured in the list.

if enough (a majority) want to force a vote of (say) no confidence in the governmennt then they can do it tomorrow.

Why do you think outside the EU the UK will be free to import sugar cane from say Brazil at low prices and somehow free to sell that sugar onto Europe?

Why would the EU just not import refined sugar directly from Brazil themselves why do they need the cargo to first Land in the UK and be processed by Tate and then be shipped to the EU?

If anything a truly free trade in sugar would see the sugar grown and processed in Brazil/Mexico and then shipped in its compact table sugar form rather than import the 5x more bulky cane to process in a higher wage EU nation.


what you seem to imagine/hope seems to be the exact opposite of what would happen

Listen to the Evan Davis broadcast, it's only halve an hour. I foresee many benefits from totally free trade, you see many clouds, I reckon we ain't stupid and will benefit greatly

possibly

is one of those benefits in your books the uk giving up growing and processing its own sugar and instead importing it from Brazil?

Raw sugar cane incurs a 100% tariff. As the EU imposes tariffs on the country of origin. In the case of Tate & Lyle from Jamaica.
