Um. With over 3,000 crossing points seems an impractical solution to be even suggested.

Can you cite one of the regulations, if it doesn't give up too much about your business?

Difficult, as that also can give up information about customers. One thing that does come to mind is a requirement to use a specific set of materials only available from one obscure (and expensive) EU producer in order to qualify a new product for sale. This material not relevant to the use of the product, or its performance, but effectively creating a closed shop against any other company trying to enter that specific market.

I'm sorry but you got your say in 2016. You picked the winning team but that doesn't mean you get more say than anyone else in what should happen in addition to leaving the EU or the policies that implement the result.

Nothing has happened since 2016 that trumps the political legitimacy of the referendum result. The reason our political class is disappearing up their own jacksies with this Brexit is their quite legitimate fear that unless Brexit is carried out to my (and others of course) satisfaction then they have real problems. That’s not to say they won’t renege on their democratic responsibility to honour the result of course. At this precise moment your view is secondary to mine.

That's the message the EU want you to believe. Remainers and Mrs May fell for it hook, line and sinker.

We never tested their resolution, we should have waited until EU business started harrassing their governments asking who's going to buy the stuff we sell to the UK. Instead we just waved a white flag and rolled over. That's not negotiation, it's abject surrender.

Where's the evidence? She's are the EU businesses applying pressure?

Why hasn't the EU given way on anything yet?

Would you get your house on EU conceding as soon as we left?

Logic dictates the EU will call our bluff, as does the fact that even BMW have said they won't help us. All the evidence points towards most EU businesses would rather preserve the EU than fold to us.

What about the Tories losing their majority on a brexit platform in the snap GE? Or the lies and fraud involved in the Leave campaigns? All the backpeddlig by prominent leavers? All the polls showing a gradual shift away from a leave result?

Or LibDems and SDP the only party's that were remain getting only 10% of votes with a lower percentage of votes they got in 2015.

Or UKIP being completely wiped out.

Polls said Remain. These polls have been showing a trend further to remain but are still polls.

UKIP were wiped out because people thought the job was done.

I think it is partly that, but also the fact that as a relatively new party they didn't have strength in depth. There is nobody close to having the persona of Farage.

But they campaigned on a platform of making sure the job was done properly. At least before Farage quit.
