They are counterfeit and have strychnine in them.)  Oh, and if you are buying dodgy fags from the UVF best keep quiet about a border in the Irish sea if you value your kneecaps.  No surrender!!!! 🇯🇪 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Your argument seems to be that all businesses should be behaving like new businesses because of the uncertainty of Brexit.  Which is completely not what established businesses want. It’s the complete and absolute opposite.  I know it seems like a great sound bite to you, but it’s irrelevent and you’re not going to convince anybody.

Repetitive too.  So you make some demonstrably untrue claims, and when corrected instead of checking or accepting, you try to claim that I routinely spread fake news. Wow. 17 hours ago, Shunter said: And your constant wish to argue is exactly what is happening in government right now. Personally I think the remain groups have some extremely valid points, whereas the Leave groups do also. I don't regard either as right or wrong as we can't be sure on many of the points. What I can be sure of is that I want out government and opposition parties to do the right thing for th country instead of the constant bickering that we see every day. Why do you keep dodging the question, you sound like a politician. 10 hours ago, apelike said: "And yet businesses start off by heading into the unknown...."  Now perhaps you can tell me where the argument was, except for yours of course.

They already have voted on such an amendment though I believe? A 3 month extension tabled by Labour only a few weeks ago?  Now suddenly it seems like a good idea?
