Hils , what part of OUT do the remainers and the EU not understand ?
Bet they could open the withdrawal agreement faster than you could say bobs your uncle if we said we wanted to stay in the single market , etc , etc.
Stuff them , keep running the clock down Mrs May they need that 39 billion more than we need their idea of a deal.

To be fair, the Ruhr Vally in Germany experienced identical problems but they managed to successfully navigate from the production industry of the 60's to the service sector of today, whilst maintaining a pretty constant level of gainful employment.
If you stay in the EU, you'll be able to ask them the secrets of their success. The Germans mostly speak English.

It , Scargill was a clown just looking for a fight. If he had gone about things properly there would have been a lot less suffering.
A lot in S Wales to this day blame him as much as Maggie for the way things panned out. He refused a ballot because he knew he wouldn't win and relied on the loyalty of areas like S Wales to go along with him regardless.

What an opportunity missed by JC. If he had accepted TM’s first invite to talks he could have walked into the front door of No 10 when she was at her lowest ebb, turned to look at the gathered cameras as though he had just won a GE and then strolled casually in to confront a wounded TM in her lair. Instead he is in some office somewhere in Westminster with TM on the front foot.

Tony Blair would not have let an opportunity like that slip by.

I think it time for T May to resign!
Extend article 50.
Called another election with referendum views reflected in the manifestos.

We had one Hils and when they carry out the wishes of the people feel free to have another one if that's what people want.

Who are sheltering behind her, thinking she was their nanny, and like all good tories hoping that she will shoulder the blame for their misdeeds.
They will pretend that they have been misled by a devious woman and as said earlier it wasn't their fault.

Dominic Grieve?
Cyners seems to have overlooked my comment about his constituency in post 11960. I'm sure it was a simple oversight, so I'll repost it.
Cyners,
You keep saying that Grieve's constituents voted to leave, but I don't know where you get that from. According to Wikipedia (link here), in Grieve's constituency the vote was very even - 50.8% to remain versus 49.2% to leave. How exactly is he not now representing the wishes of his constituents?

Dominic Grieve strikes me as one of the few honest tory MPs in the HP at the moment.

Scargill was a key factor in the fall of the Heath government. Thatcher knew that Scargill would try and bring down a new Conservative government. Scargill called a strike then refused to call a national ballot. He saw the strike as a class struggle and wouldn't tolerate a Conservative government. The net result was a reduction of the power of unions across the board.

Fred, It makes me chuckle when you repeat what they say about moving billions of pounds - They move nothing bar from one ledger to another - pure move of numbers and only the number of jobs they wish to create to make a statement and put staff in fear of their jobs, to keep workers pay in check I expect, while the bosses get a bigger bonus again as they increase their rewards.
Its about Money not Brexit

Follow the money!
Movement of money.
A little like Bitcoin.
But in this case, perhaps wanting to remain in the Eurozone and economic longterm expectancy.
