    You really must stop thinking in stereotypes. I know that you are easily compartmentalised but that does not mean that I am.

    do you disagree that 'most remain' support inward investment and claim it will decline with brexit?

    Cobra beer is most certainly made in, and was created in the UK.

    Assuming it comes from India as it's a man of Indian origins that created it is rather fanciful, and I would guess, in some respects, quite insulting.

    It was originally brewed in India. The first shipment of Cobra was imported to the UK from the Bangalore-based Mysore Brewery in 1990,and later it was brewed in the UK and elsewhere. But the original recipe is Indian from Mysore.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Something positive. This is the first time in my life I feel at last the nation is heading the right direction . Confident, daring, risk taking, globally oriented and with a sense of purpose and industry.

    Its the first time in my life that I fear for the future of the country due to the risks we are apparently willing to take. I suspect that those who feel they have nothing to lose by doing this are the ones who are more comfortable with that approach.

    Which reflects the inequality and unfairness that now exists. Wealth created for having done nothing else other than owning a property.

    Hang on, if I were voting for self interest I would mirror Hamishs views and want things left just as they were, such as limitless immigration to boost my rents

    Believe me, we're unveiling an unrivalled prosperity era and my hope and expectation is all will benefit

    The teethless, uneducated and unemployable brexit-voting masses will be just as teethless, uneducated and unemployable after brexit.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Back to the original question. Yesterday felt like a positive move forward. (I am no fan of May or anyone else).


    But May's appointment stops several weeks of uncertainty. Old George has been out getting deals from other countries outside the EU like the Boeing deal (probably had that one anyway and chose when to release the information, but that's part of the gamesmanship)


    Even our sports people, although nothing political won world class events and lifted morale.


    I think European sphincters will be twitching slightly. (read news of Italia's financial crisis)


    The faster we get on with this and the stronger impression we give then the better things will be.


    Well that's my theory anyway
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
