" Who? I've not watched the news for days " Honda, they were already mostly leaving, but they said they were keeping a department in the UK, but yesterday they announced they're closing that down too. 3,500 jobs to go in 2021. | |||

"But still jobs are at there highest for decades didn’t a company ever leave the uk before brexit ?" Zero hour jobs and low level jobs sure, you're applauding hiring cleaners whilst at the same time we're losing tech workers, doctors, nurses, etc. PS: Nothing wrong with cleaners, but in terms of a trade off I'm sure most people would like to keep the higher paying positions with actual job security. | |||

"But still jobs are at there highest for decades didn’t a company ever leave the uk before brexit ?" It's great that there is low unemployment . Is it because of brexit? Is it down to the conservatives ? Is it down to the recession ending.? Is because of austerity? It's always feast or famine in my profession.These things are cyclical And whoever is in charge gets the credit or when it's shit they blame anyone but themselves and usually the previous government. | |||

"ppl bang on about zero hr workers iv never known anyone on these contacts or heard of anyone " Well straight away you're in a bubble then if you've NEVER come across a person on one, the fact that you try and say it's project fear just makes it laughable but then again that's the Leavers attitude, ignore the facts, call it fake news, pretend it isn't real. Just like your earlier comment about how companies left the UK before Brexit, why yes they did but there's been a 15x increase in companies leaving the UK since Brexit was announced. We've lost more industry than gained, we've lost more tech than gained, but sure, we have an increase in low paying jobs and zero hour contracts, therefore Brexit is winning am I right? | |||

"Who else reckons that the best thing and interest for the country is to scrap brexit and hold up the hands and say, we tried it but it dont work then to apoligise to the eu? Only the remoaners want it stopped who in my reckoning are a minority of the population " Dave, tell us one good thing that will result from brexit that will be a benefit to the country worth the tens of billions of pounds already directly spent, the trillions of pounds of investment money that has gone elsewhere, the many many thousands of real jobs that have vanished, the fact that the lowest paid are getting ever poorer while the ultra rich are getting ever richer. I know that successive governments have treated the working class like shit for year after year, and something has to change. But brexit isn't the answer. Europe is one of the main things that has been protecting us against being totally fucked by the ruling class, the bastards at the top are overjoyed that so many people have taken in the lie. It's like turkeys voting for christmas because they've been promised a nice dinner... when in fact they are the dinner. | |||

"Will the rich get poorer and the poor get richer by staying in the EU or will it just remain the same? Was it not a majority of 'working class' (hate that term) that voted for brexit? I dunno..." Under Brexit the rich can get even richer without regulations and the poor/working class enter a stalemate or even lose services. The difference is, the rich white men have pretended to be best mates of the working class to get the working class to vote in their favour. | |||

"The remainers jump on every negative the leavers jump on every positive " Is there actually a "tangible" positive. 3 years in after the referendum I'm still to hear / read about any tangible positives of Brexit that can't be debunked with a little looking up of information. Being honest there are only positives if you only take the word of the Brexiteers and believe without question. | |||

"The remainers jump on every negative the leavers jump on every positive same shit diffrent day it’s just like question time woth labour and the Torres every one is right no one wrong lol" I can't wait for a positive benefit to Brexit to appear............. I fear that I might be in for a rather long wait though. The problem is that I (and most rational thinkers) know that it is impossible to square the circles of the Brexit argument because there really is no good Brexit. It will weaken us financially and politically and the divisions created are likely to break up the United Kingdom. I am happy to consider opinions that can demonstrate how turning our backs on our closest trading partners is somehow beneficial and/or how ending shared responsibility and costs for regulatory agencies is going to save money and be more efficient. On that last point, have you not noticed now that the more zealous Brexiters don't even bother displaying the Union flag on social media or at gatherings anymore. They probably know that their Brexit will likely finish off the United Kingdom and so they display the George cross instead. Tommy Robinson was up north yesterday and both his accolytes and his disciples were almost all waving the George cross. | |||

"so you're in favour of big government, globalisation, massive centralisation of finance, larger numbers of political elites and less acountability at a more local level? I don't see how that will fix the problem of rich getting richer...etc. " When the alternative is driving the country off a cliff, yes, I'd rather be on the side of the EU who at least try and do SOME things for the people as opposed to selling them out. Don't like the system? Then vote for the parties who can actually help change these ways, however as a nation we're also controlled by Murdoc owned media so anything even slightly left is painted in a negative manner. Brexit is a change but we've yet to see the positive for it, even now Farage won't release the manifest for his Brexit party and literally doing his old routine "trust me, I'm your mate, I drink pints in pubs". | |||

"Oh yes because the eu is doing great ...let's stay in and end up with f all " End up with f all of what? You have a totally misguided and frankly twisted view of what the European Union actually is. I mean did you see the way that the EU stuck together and got right behind one of their smaller countries when there was a threat of them being bullied? That is what friends are for. Shared intelligence, experience and costs across multiple different kinds of standards agencies - providing great value for money and a better outcome than the sum of the individual parts. All the while, the 28 independent and sovereign nations remained accountable to their own populace and retained their own cultural and unique cultures. What is there not to like lol | |||

"My heart goes out to you hope you find something better soon " I've worked zero hour contracts. However that was out of choice and my skill set is in high demand. Zero hour contracts are not the problem. Misuse and inappropriate use of Zero hour contacts, or indeed any contract, is. | |||

Also, as a point of information, another referendum would be a third referendum; the first was held in 1975. | |||

The oldest trick in the political book - emotional black male, particularly by stoking fear and then offering a 'simple' solution, even if deceit and impossibilities are what you are manipulated to vote for. It's especially popular and works when your citizens are stressed, as coercion will then encourage people to abdicate logical reasoning for superficial threat responses - freeze, flight, fight. | |||

Only the remoaners want it stopped who in my reckoning are a minority of the population " I doubt its a minority now, using current polling, combine the leave parties and the soft leave together and the remain parties and the soft remain parties together, the figures go like this 34 seats for leave 37 seats for remain So clearly there is more appetite now for remain or soft remain. Based on euroskeptism now They only get 35% to pro-eu’s 38% Yes the BP will get the largest number of seats, but it will be pyrric victory, as the combined anti-eu groups will still lose to the combined remain groups. | |||

But the masses voted for it! They should honour their constituents wishes, but they don’t believe in it.. So there is only one way out. Get rid of the lot of them by having a complete vote of no confidence in the whole House of Commons Then have New elections | |||

"How can you say that? Parliament voted for Brexit. Mrs May won an election with a promise to leave with a deal. She brings that deal to Parliament for approval. It keeps getting blocked by the Brexiteers in her own party. If anyone is defying the will of the people - the 2017 manifesto - it is the ERG and DUP. UK would have left by now were it not for them." Really??? They compose of over half the elected representatives????? | |||

"There is no mandate for a no-deal exit. Quite the opposite. Put a Brexiteer in charge of a no-deal plan and they will never get it through Parliament. It won't happen. A no-deal exit needs a mandate - either in a referendum or a general election." That is right and it is good that the parliament can see sense to keep the best interest for northern ireland by blocking mays deal. | |||

"Nobody knows what differences will occur when BREXIT happens, because a minority of people have continued to allow the politicians to stall it.

I still predict that the mainstream politicians are going to fudge the entire process, so that we get something way less than we voted for, if anything at all. It is just a prediction because, wait for it, IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET!
