Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

and which leader would Fred suggest? ...... Corbyn?
racing certainty he won't actually say who he'ld like to see leading UK's exit from Europe
One can dislike the referendum result, but that's what UK voted for, so it's no good sitting around wringing your hands and wishing it hadn't happened
interesting to note that even France is now clamouring for a drastic overhaul of the eurozone

I suspect the €urobods are popping little packages over the Italian thingy.

M , knew you were in trouble when you signed Kanu. Welsh legend after his goal against Belgium at the Euro's but even the Cardiff fans didn't want to sign him although he was a free agent.
Cardiff favourites to go up with Wolves but not confident the bookies have got that right so keep the faith ... positive village mentality :-)

as usual (so predictable), fred lays into the tory leadership via his (inevitable) cartoons
so which leader would Fred suggest? ...... Corbyn?

Manuel.
At the present time, I would think the tory party needs its Queen of Vacillation.
They certainly have one.
The UK doesn't!
Ps
Was she your mother?

If you go back a few hundred posts you will see that I wrote that the result of Brexit will probably be the UK outside the EU. having to accept the rules and regulation, paying towards the running costs, but not having any say in the rules and regulations.
But able to go back with a begging bowl in hand when they need help.
Littel of no influence on its future developments. And the 27 remaining players remembering the costs of the Brexit fiasco.
Of course, the Brexiters will be puffing out their chests and shouting like the football mob "we won".

and as usual you do not address the question asked .... why do you not try it for a refreshing change?
lest your brain is neo-goldfish (like mine i fear), the below is the question again ....
so which leader would Fred suggest? ...... Corbyn?
racing certainty he won't actually say who he'ld like to see leading UK's exit from Europe
if that's a tad complex for you, try the dumbed down version ....
Fred - who would you like to see leading UK's negotiations to exit from Europe?

Manuel.
It is your right to ask questions.
It is my right not to waste time on responding to you.
Choke on it if you wish to.
However, I would much prefer to have Corbyn or even Cable to be negotiating with "Brussels" for the benefit of all in the UK, than the present government's incumbents negotiating for themselves and attempting to hold on to power and protect their own personal interests.
Is "the PM says", the new mantra from tory party central office?
But Manuel with your degree of egocentricity I can understand your disagreements with me.
-===-=
I will wait and see the results of the "elite's" negotiations.
Europe is beginning to laugh at the "little englanders".
Edited!

interesting that corbyn and cable surely come from very different angles
i confess i've rather lost track of cable ..... i know used to rate him quite highly, but i don't have any idea what sort of deal he would seek with eu
corbyn's line is suddenly very much to stay in, and though he pretends he would honour the public's wish to extricate itself from europe, neither his words nor his actions support that

Manuel,
Suggest a read of The Observer view on Theresa May’s Brexit speech
Observer editorial :
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/04/the-observer-view-on-theresa-mays-brexit-speechhttp://
It expresses my fears.
-=-==-=
Corbyn has amongst other problems:
1) his own misgivings about some of the EU
2) he is the leader of a party and is trying to have a cohesive policy representative of the party's "desires or wishes" as a whole.
3) a lack of information on what "out" really means and the consequences of that "out".
That is the stupidity of the situation.

If you have staggered through p8813 have a look at Rawnsley appraisal:
It is beyond this prime minister to beat Brexit swords into ploughshares
Andrew Rawnsley

He is guessing as much as many others are.

i like bits of the guardian on most days and for many reasons, but the real key of the article you highlight, which brussels would also do well to take on board, is the obvious, "If a deal is to be done, then both sides will have to do some compromising"
the article also raises the question from the german journalist, "Is Brexit really worth it?"
an equivocal answer is the only answer, but certainly it is what the british public voted for
i have no idea what the final outcome will be, and nor does anyone else, but for sure i would hope that the rest of the eurozone does not allow itself to be led by the nose by the brussels heavyweights - eg juncker and his colleague wreckers
by and large i agree with you about "the stupidity of the situation"
in fact, corbyn (were he in power) would have exactly the same problems as tm ...... and of course corbyn knows, though he (and his union puppet-masters) doesn't want to face up to it, is that out means exactly that
we happen to disagree that the better way to sort out the overbearing power and other malpractices (profligacy and worse) of the eu was to stay in ....
my view, and that of many other (sensible) voters to leave, is that the only way to focus the mind of brussels was to leave or become something of a sacrificial lamb if you insist
