    The nature of discussion is that you try and persuade others toward understanding your position. Hey-ho, I can’t force you to justify your “trashing” , I’ll file it under Remainer hyperbole then.

    As regards other people’s jobs (in the UK?) I’ve made a judgment call and feel that our nations interests will be best served by leaving the EU. You disagree, no problem with that.
    When Ireland and Luxembourg decided to slash their corporate tax rates to a level that put the U.K. and the rest of the EU at a competitive disadvantage and thus attract tax avoiding multinationals and ergo thousands of jobs, were they thinking of their “neighbour” interests?

    UK could have slashed its CT, why didn’t it?
    Always someone else’s fault

    Perhaps we were thinking of our neighbours jobs? :)

    13 Million people did not vote in the referendum but 17.4 million vote Leave. Remainers are not the majority.

    It is always a given that if you do not vote then you accept the way the vote goes.


    So 30 million didn’t vote for a no deal Brexit....and how many of the 17 million Actually voted for a no deal Brexit?

    There is no mandate for a no deal Brexit!

    In your dreams. Not the right answer!

    UK decided not to, didn’t feel the need to, which is fair enough. services are romping ahead. But they have the choice. Instead UK moans about everywhere else. Typical.

    UK doesnt give a fig about their neighbours. Dream on.

    No mandate needed, it’s the default.
    That said, it’s looking like a revoke art 50 vs no deal vote in the HoC.

    You misunderstand. I was being flippant.
    In the face of the accusation that the UK is currently acting in a way that is not helpful to its neighbours, I gave an example of two of the UK’s near neighbours acting in the same way.
    When the U.K. was the perceived aggressor, it’s bad. When the U.K. was the perceived victim we’re just typically moaning!
    Why the double standard?

    The UK has no clue what it wants. Nor indeed does the EU understand what UK wants either.

    At the end of the day, despite being in the EU, the UK has ultimate power over its own tax laws. That might come as a surprise to those who want to TAKE BACK CONTROL :p and avoid blame games

    Nobody voted for a no deal Brexit. The Brexit campaign can now been seen for what it was, all built on lies.

    Sunny uplands my aris.

    We’ll trade with the world!

    £350 million for the NHS!

    We’ll take back control!

    Lies, lies and more lies.

    Leave side voted to leave the EU. You are quite right to say that no one knew what that entailed. We still don’t!

    There are so many versions of Brexit floating around now that it is to my mind quite dangerous, every Leave voter has their own version and no one will be happy with the outcome ever again.
