    I understood stator's comment perfectly. You clearly failed to do so.

    Generally, when a Brexidiot resorts to posting this sort of nonsense, you can be fairly confident that you've won the argument. So thank you for your confirmation.

    I thought you said you agreed with me?

    So well done on 'winning'

    Thank you. I accept your concession. However, for future reference, you need to learn to realise that agreeing with somebody about one thing, doesn't mean you agree with them about every thing. :)

    The continuation of scare stories?
    Because:
    The Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has promised Theresa May his country will remain committed to the UK after Brexit,

    Oh - and about Mitsubishi UFJ:
    Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) has decided to shift its European Union investment banking base from London to Amsterdam, according to reports.
    Citing sources, the Reuters agency reported that MUFG would also open an investment banking branch in the French capital Paris.
    The move would see "several dozen people" moved to either Amsterdam or Paris from London, the report said.

    "Several dozen"?
    Devastating our economy then.
    :rotfl:
    That's apart from this, also from that link:
    In a statement released on 13 September, MUFG insisted that there was no change to its commitment to the UK and EU securities markets.

    If other companies do actually shed significant numbers of UK jobs as a consequence of Brexit you can crow. Before then is premature.

    Please reference where David Davis has said he wants to do this.

    It's buried in the position papers somewhere, not having much joy searching them on a phone.
    Regardless, if you think that that means that the UK will ad infinitum simply follow what the EU decide regardless of whether it is in the UKs interests, you are dreaming.

    I'm just going by what is written. The UK would still be able to change regulations afterwards, I believe.

    For future reference, you need to learn to realise that using such terminology as the following:
    Brexidiot or this sort of nonsense, you can be fairly confident that you've won the argument. So thank you for your confirmation.
    ;)

    What a surprise though, no proof of allegations yet again.
    How common that is becoming in these forums.

    Getting back to May's speech, while not wanting to guess what she's planning, I did find this interesting article on Politics Home earlier.

    It may or may not give a hint at a softer exit.

    The name is enough.
    Who you know has nothing at all to do with it; class matters.
    That applies more-so if you are nobility here or elsewhere.
    A phone call to either of my examples saying "Sir *** would like . . ." or "Prince *** of *** wonders if..." will get an immediate response. Being a commoner does not open those doors, or certainly nowhere near as easily.
    To say otherwise goes against accepted opinion.

    Sorry, your post doesn't make any sense, particularly the bit where you misquoted me.

    It is interesting and certainly possible, but it doesn't actually say anything other than another maybe:
    Theresa May has abandoned plans to force UK companies to prove they could not find British workers before taking on EU employees, it has been reported.
    No doubt we will see much more speculation, even if there is only a week until this speech.

    Misquoted?
    Oh, you want it in full?

    So do you deny using that derogatory terminology, "Brexidiot"?
    Difficult that, when it's there for all to see.
    Or are you attempting hypocrisy by suggesting that "nonsense" won't "win the argument" but "Brexidiot" will?
    :doh:
