    One can only guess as to why you chose the link that put U.K. FDI in a more negative light. :)

    a Marxist nightmare under Corbyn.


    Makes me wonder if you know anything about Marxism or Corbyn?

    Remain leaning English/Welsh and Leave leaning Scots/Irish could just swap round.


    We are a bit socialist up here, though, and keen for more productive immigrants.

    It makes most sense to put the leavers in scotland, because it's further away from europe they will be happier.

    There will be a drain on the NHS while scotts get used to the warmer weather, but that will be covered by the remain dividend.

    The link he posted is not biased, yours was. You want someone to pick a biased article on the basis that hoping things are better mean they are, leave voter right?

    If ever the EU got a win this is it.

    Criticised for failing to manage minnows like Latvia and stumbling over crises like Greece, they have basically crushed the Anglo-American Trojan horse on their doorstep.

    If ever Dr Gaulle was proved right it was when the EU admitted the fickle, selfish, and perpetually whining United Kingdom within its borders. A country apparently peopled by voters frozen in 1946 whose only interest in the European project has ever been what benefits it can get for itself and what downsides it can foist on its neighbours.

    Now in a mushroom cloud of hubris without a shot being fired the UK has imploded. Parliament won't leave with a deal, it wont leave without a deal. It wants an extension, but it doesn't know why. And the Tory government is incapable of proposing anything not focus tested by a cohort of red faced Mail readers.

    Every prediction of disunity and collapse Brexiters predicted for the EU has been visited upon their own country a hundred fold.

    Well, your comment makes me wonder if you think you know a great deal more about these matters, than other members.

    I know very little about either of them,

    I find it interesting how being a marxist could be an insult. I guess it's a useful distraction while the conservatives siphon off the last wealth for themselves.

    Talking about incompetence let's see if Corbyn agrees to honour Labours conference and instructs the Party to support vote for second referendum.

    It easy to criticise one side or the other but the truth is they are all to blame.
