The fifty shades of MAY.

I agree entirely. I didn't suggest it was all banks.

My point was and is that it is the financial elite that are once again trying to get their own way, regardless of what ordinary people want. They are used to getting their own way. The peasants had a referendum? Pah. What do they know. We'll just threaten to give them a jolly good thrashing. That's the attitude of some. It's the attitude of those that have spat their dummy out and are threatening to leave. It's those that I personally don't care about if they take their ball home.

 

Who is trying to get their own way ?
It's happening and that's that.

As to people" threatening " to take their business abroad , well.....

If I had a business that was losing money or having monetary problems due to brexit but could be run more efficiently, cheaper and profitable abroad then I too would move my company to another country.

 

There are many that still refuse to accept that. Fortunately we seem to have ended up with someone in charge who has an actual back bone, so we'll be alright.

 

What else am I supposed to draw my conclusion from? I take commercially funded news with a massive pinch of salt. The BBC is supposed to be impartial but is in fact the mouthpiece of government so should be assumed to be accurate.

I also didn't say anywhere that I concluded that a civil court had ruled that anyone was a criminal. I relayed the news that the court had effectively come to that conclusion.

 

The news said the criminal court did not find them guilty of anything. The news also said the civil court found them to be rapists and ordered them to pay a million quid.

Even if the reporter added in the word rapist, the civil court still ordered them to pay a million quid in compo for something the criminal court could not find them guilty of.

Make of it what you will.

 

Shame the courts didn't get a gazillion quid from the bankers who caused the Financial Crisis.

 

I'm getting the feeling that now MPs are getting involved in the say of Article 50 they are going to push for more say in the negotiations, that in turn means more muddle, and more watering down of the leaving process.

Cant help thinking we are now likely to end up with the worst of both worlds.

ie. free movement of people in order to stay in the single market and any other conditions the EU wish to force upon us due to a lessening of our resolve to a hard Brexit.

If they, the EU, dont think we are ready to leave, full stop, they will run rings around any negotiations that take place, and each time MPs will want to vote on every aspect, so in the words of private Frazer.

Wheree Doooomeed.

 

I'm not going to argue. If you want to argue about this specific line of discussion, may I respectfully suggest you take it up with the BBC. They reported it. I actually don't care about it enough to discuss it further.
