    Car sales are down due to the diesel effect. About to buy my second new car in the last 18 months..Never did that before brexit. I can distort facts too. Just mailed JOB that on his website bet he wont mention that come Monday.
    You haven't done it since Brexit either.

    I know hasn't happened yet so you keep saying and keep posting the opposite when it suits
  • Or is it my imagination as you keep telling everyone who will listen to you that it hasn't happened

    By JOB do you mean James O Brien on LBC?

    Brexit hasn't happened yet.

    Blimey, thought you did some unionised job, turns out you are a hedge fund manager or something. Only people with money to burn buy two new cars, with their own money, in 18 months (given that you lose 20% on each new car due to depreciation). What has your car buying spree got to do with Brexit anyway, given that it hasn't happened yet?

    Still it's good to know that some members of the downtrodden angry classes that politicians didn't listen to, are doing well.

    Of course that biased pratt..i am off Monday so will listen to Nick Ferrari when working from home. I listen till about 10.00 and then switch him off He usually tells the bored audience what hes about to talk about at 09.50..then its switch off time shortly after. Man is a legend in his own mind especially also to the fools who listen to him\ Who else openly admits to wearing his coat up and hats down as he leaves his show, cos someone may bloody punch him.

    I think Chippy should change his user name to WalterMitty.

    Re your first sentence, you're right that 'the diesel effect' is a factor but it's no good pretending that's the only cause. As motor manufacturers' president Tony Walker says, 'Uncertainty about Brexit and market confusion over diesel are taking their toll'.

    Re the rest, sorry but I don't know what you're talking about.
  • So you spent precious time and energy e-mailing someone you despise Chippy? Funny that, when I find someone an objectionable cnut I just ignore them and get on with my life.

    At least the Americans are being honest about what they want after Brexit...

    https://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-04/stop-saying-american-chicken-isn-t-safe-to-eat-u-s-tells-brits

    Mmm...chlorinated chicken, beef pumped full of antibiotics and GM crops. All coming to a plate near you soon folks. 'Taking back control' and handing it over to large US conglomerates, brilliant!

    I had to smile too at the reference, "...he’ll be checking Google to make sure Gove keeps his word". See, everyone's at it...
  • Yep. Yet another fine example of "oh shit, we didn't think about that.."

    You can bet your life the likes of Gove and Liam Fox and Moggy and Boris will still be able to afford to choose Waitrose free range, organic, corn fed, chicken breasts at a tenner a pop and not be shopping at Iceland with most of their constituents.

    Utter clowns everyone involved in this farce.

    All of our Brexiters happy to have this charlatan claiming to represent you at this meeting on Monday?

    Hopefully you took the opportunity to send Nige your questions.

    What about the other 47 million of us who did not vote for Brexit or could not vote? Is any democratically elected politician going to represent the majority?

    Try to cut the (voting) cake whichever way you want, but whichever way you choose to, 52% of those voted did so to leave.

    As you so eloquenty so put it, I am one of those morons who voted leave
  • edited January 2018
    In a non-binding advisory referendum that was not run under normal electoral rules and was widely denounced as being flawed from a democratic standpoint.

    Only a minority of people support Brexit. No matter how you cut the cake you can't change that fact.

    And for the record I don't think all leave voters are morons. Many have been sensible enough to realise what an utter farce Brexit actually is.

    The financials mean nothing much to me, that kind of news is for the avaricious.
    However I notice from your link that Dublin is moving up the list and Frankfurt which was 23rd a year ago has moved up to 11th in a year.
    For those who get excited by money, the link you have provided seems to me to be bad news for the UK, and not good news brought on by Brexit.
    Perhaps you have an alternative interpretation.
  • @seth plum

    In fairness, we can't be 100% sure what would happen if we remain in the EU.

    They might bring in regulations banning trainee doctors from having a "religious beard"
    Don't laugh............it could happen somewhere in Europe and end up as EU law !

    Come to that, with 2 nutters in the world who have red buttons on their desk, maybe nothing matters ?

    Only if you don't understand how laws are made in the EU and then applied in each country, and ignore the existence of all the EU human rights legislation. And then further ignore the hard won veto we have.

    So if we scrap big chunks of human rights legislation, completely change the way EU laws are made and incorporated into member states' lawbooks, and the lose or decline to use our veto, then I guess it could happen.
