NOT "no-one", just not the majority.

I read a while ago about an A&E somewhere which closed and was instead given an Out Of Hours service. During the past year this was used by only 65 people. (Grantham, Lincs IIRC.)

Be reasonable and ask yourself whether or not it is the best use of resources to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a facility and staff that is used about once a week throughout the year. If it was a shop could that survive with one customer per week?

So again, not "no-one". Just not enough of the population.

My local A&E was not comparable to the example that you gave. It was very busy but did close. Your reply, therefore, was not in the slightest relevant to my post.

A&E's by their very nature are "busy". In this increasingly specialised technical age. It's the use and location of resources that matters. Days are over when it was simply a matter of manpower.

"Sir Nige (some fake news there?) was brilliant on LBC."

Exactly. A radio show. He's not negotiating the deal.

Constant 'Project Fear', negativity and a lack of acceptance of the EU referendum have created uncertainty.

We know who to blame!

Uncertainty has been created from almost the day after the referendum as week by week and month by month the Government could not decide what it wanted.
Have you forgotten the mantra
A no deal is better than a bad deal.
The almost daily threat to just walk away.
The regular statements that it would be easy then to find out it was complicated.

Now you Brexiters say it is all the fault of remainers. Ha, ha, ha.

I take no satisfaction from Brexiters admitting it is all a mess but it has very little to do with remainers tripping up of blocking progress but all to do with incompetence by the British Government.

Actually the principal reason that Brexit is a mess is that it is fundamentally the wrong direction for Britain to take.
The realisation by Brexiters that Brexit is a mess is a long time coming and now they blame remainers and the EU. You could not make it up.

There you go just one obstacle being thrown at Brexit Britain on after the other.

It is like a cycle race with remainacs shoving sticks into the spokes of the UK's bike.

The problem is to many MPs are trying to frustrate the process and it wouldn't matter what party was in charge. A few MPs want a very hard brexit and to leave on WTO deal but more want to leave in name only and not enough from both sides are prepared to put aside their personal views and work towards what the majority of people want.

Jacob Rees Mogg and Anna Soubry are both arguing that their positions are what the majority of people want. They can't both be right.

That's correct

We just need to get on with it now and push forward, too many blockers in the government,as stated in another post,if remain had 'won' we'd have moved on.
