Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Fred , we voted out and knew that the government of the day would negotiate whatever deal they saw fit.
What's difficult about that to understand ?

It is not a game!
Although many seem to think it is.

I didn't see the words "acceptable" and "beneficial" to the majority of the UK.
You seem to assume that the agreement may be OK for some, if it is "acceptable" to those who voted to leave ie. about 40% of the possible voters.
I think all of the UK has the right to know what is being negotiate in their name and not expected to accept a deal they a may know little of.
-=-=-=-=
I would like to know what leaving the EU will actually mean and the "probable" costs.
If I was subjecting myself to an operation which might have effects on the quality of my life or living standards I would want a detailed informed investigated opinion.
The same applies to evaluating possible consequences of leaving the EU.

The world markets seemed to consider that the court decision improved the the possibilities for the UK economy.

It's in the Graun, so it must be true!
What I learned after 100,000 miles on the road talking to Trump supporters
Donald Trump’s message resonates in the most forgotten corners of the US, because viewed from these places, America no longer seems a great country

The report states: “The rape of a ten-year-old girl in Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony, has drawn renewed attention to the spiralling levels of violent crime perpetrated by migrants in cities and towns across Germany.
“During the first six months of 2016, migrants committed 142,500 crimes, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. This is equivalent to 780 crimes committed by migrants every day, an increase of nearly 40 per cent over 2015. The data includes only those crimes in which a suspect has been caught.
“Thousands of migrants who entered the country as ‘asylum seekers’ or ‘refugees’ have gone missing. They are, presumably, economic migrants who entered Germany on false pretences.
“Many are thought to be engaging in robbery and criminal violence.”
According to Freddi Lohse of the German Police Union in Hamburg, many migrant offenders view the leniency of the German justice system as a green light to continue delinquent behaviour, says the report.

Yes it is no wonder why all the super rich in London are building
basements, it to ensure they have somewhere very safe for their
families, gold and assets.

Most likely what happen here, were people were tired of the EU mis- management so voted for BREXIT
Is happening in America and voting for Trump, regardless of all the careless comments he does, but at least promise some change

May can't just call for a general election. We have a fixed term parliament which no longer allows the PM to simply call for new elections. There has be agreement of 2/3 of MPs or a no confidence vote in the government for new elections to be held before 2020.

Rosie,
"but at least promise some change"
So did Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Tito, Stalin, etc.
All appealed to the rabble.

Fred , you missed out Corbyn.

I am not as certain about Corbyn as you are.
At the moment the labour party appears a rabble and largely due to a part of it had it nose put out of joint and couldn't accept the election of Corbyn as leader.
The reason for his election appeared to be smart-arsed "in fighting" action of many who thought themselves as the elite of the Labour party and put him forward as a candidate.
I would suggest to them that they start thinking and arguing about policies rather than trying to destroy personalities.
The labour supporters and voters appear disillusioned and apathetic and disconnected from politics as it is practiced at the moment,
That maybe one of the reasons for emergence of the "loony parties" and they appearance of strength.

" That maybe one of the reasons for emeregence of the "loony parties" and

Yes those who now look on the establishment parties as not representing them,
and who feel disenfranchised, will look for alternatives to represent them, as
they see the present two party system of Labour and the Tory's as not being much
different from each other, and that in particularly the Labour party no longer
go anywhere near representing their core voters beliefs anymore..
And as the evidence is now showing, there needs to be another populist party
to represent the disenfranchised and to look after their political aims and beliefs.

Approx 37% of an ill informed electorate of the UK voted to leave.
I.e approximately 1/3rd.
I would like to see the plans of the promised land, rather than listening to the excuses being given for austerity carrying on for another 10 years or so.
It would be whimsical if it wasn't so sad.
Looking from the outside, I am told, it looks like over grown schoolboys blustering with poor negotiating abilities and behaving like football hooligans wanting their ball back and threatening to break up the party for others if they don't get the own ways.
What do Fauxpage and Trump have in common.
They appeal to the rabble.
