    Jeez. As if the 350 million a week claim wasn't a big enough lie, it just got upgraded to 3 billion every 10 days.




    Sorry I meant every 10 weeks

    Bump............!




    Given you are using the old trick of implying the EU make almost no laws over us, why will you miss them then?


    If they make virtually no laws over us, nothing to miss as trade will go on regardless obviously.

    Around 40% of the UK’s trade surplus in financial services is with Europe.
    However, over the next 10 – 15 years, 90% of global economic growth is expected to be generated outside Europe and these markets – developed and emerging – must be a priority focus for the country post-Brexit."

    Stop wriggling like a worm on a pin. It's demeaning Conrad. I'm asking you for a list of laws that the overbearing EU has imposed on us in good ol blighty against the will of our Parliament?

    I know that James Dyson is investing in the UK for research and development and that is definitely a very good thing. He's investing in highly skilled jobs and people, in Britain and I think we sorely need that. I hope Dyson remains in the UK as a British business and doesn't just end up being sold off to an American or Japanese multinational, like Cadburys or ARM, asset stripped and forgotten about.

    You can't ignore the fact however that when it came to ordinary manufacturing jobs done by ordinary non PhD holding people making his vacuums, he decided to axe his entire British workforce in favour of Malaysians.

    You might suspect therefore, that brilliant entrepreneur he might be, he may also not be entirely excited about Brexit because he thinks it will be great for the average Joe.

    His vacuum cleaners are rubbish as well ;)
