    Given the numbers that support anti -EU parties I suspect you are wrong.

    Your throw away remark definitely beats my throw away remark.

    I bet you can back yours up with voting figures while I can only say that if young people in Europe are anything like the young people in Britain, sadly they hardly care.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Can you believe it. It is 707 days since the referendum.

    The British Government have been throwing resourses at the Brexit thing for 707 days.
    Imagine if they had used the same effort and skill at running the country what a mess they would have made.

    Don't know iro....has he been on Question Time?
    (Noun/mass noun): A term used to describe a particular type of Brexit-voting, middle-aged white male, whose meat-faced complexion suggests they are perilously close to a stroke.

    The term 'gammon' is linked to the unhealthy pink skin tone of such stout yeomen, probably because of high blood pressure caused by decades of 'PC gone mad', being defeated in arguments about the non-existent merits of Brexit and women getting the vote.

    Gammon often make their appearance on BBC's Question Time jabbing their porcine fingers at the camera while demanding immediate nuclear strikes against Remain-voting areas, people who eat vegetables and/or cyclists.

    When gammon appears en masse it is often referred to as a "wall of gammon".
    Did you see Question Time last night? It was absolutely rammed with gammon.

    Some random gammon started posting "Ingland 4 the Inglish! granit brexit now"
    No gammons but I did find this

    With 30% youth unemployment in Italy. They are thinking about themselves. Just as you are. Not a thought for Brexit. That's not their problem.

    It looks like the remainers have recovered from their torpor which was well-timed to coincide with the greatest threat to the EU that we've seen over the past ........ week.

    Fixed that for you. ;)

    Car manufacturing is up.
    Deficit is down.
    Employment & wages are up.
    Inflation is down.
    Factory production is up; sentiment is up.

    It doesn't look like much of a mess from here gfplux, despite what some of the remain faction here try to tell you.

    And did you read either article?

    Basically April to April this year was up a bit due to new models (so refreshed showroom stock and demonstraters), but up by less than half of the previous years decline, and the industry outlook is still pretty bleak. Some 81% of our car/engine output is for export so relying on a good trade deal. Domestic demand is still weakening.

    But one number in isolation is better. Go Brexit!

    'due to new models' despite Brexit????????????

    rejoice just rejoice!

    The remainiac axioms:

    Good economic news occurs despite Brexit

    Bad economic news occurs because of Brexit

    Good economic news occurs because 'we haven't left yet'

    Bad economic news occurs because 'we voted to leave and all the uncertainty'
