    1. Competence of the EU why does our relationship with the rest of the EU have to be defined by these serial unelected bureaucrats
    You voted for the Tories. The Tories select an MEP to represent the UK. That is democracy. More democratic than the PM or any member of the House of Lords!!

    2. Giving power to unelected representatives (we should have learnt lessons from history on this)
    See above.

    3. I believe in the Nation state and there can be no nation state without control of borders
    In what universe are migrants going to stop coming to the UK in or out of the EU? Legally or not they'll keep coming because employers here in the UK are willing to pay for cheap labour to make more profit.


    That was far too easy to debunk and destroy your reasons for voting leave. Far too easy. Part of me hoped for some real meaningful substance. Oh well...

      Just what the fook is the relevance of that distinction? Or are you suggesting that the votes cast by those living there without having been born there are less relevant?
      I suppose it was all those nasty English immigrants that moved to Scotland that were the ones that tipped the balance in favour of staying within the UK?

      Never mind, maybe Nicola can make them all wear yellow stars on their clothing before the next Election so that their votes can be "lost".

        Well, if you'd stop, then perhaps others would and I wouldn't have to drop by every now and then to make sure that you're not abusing yourselves (and others) too much.

          Where to begin.

          The relevance exists because EU nationals living in Scotland had a significant influence in the indy referendum. The did not want to find themselves without the right to work in the country they've chosen to be resident in. Brexit will do that now by default.

            You can't just bypass the law with "a smart trick". It is far more complicated.

            "write a 3 line bill", she's getting desperate

            The government should have done this before the referendum and campaigned on a very clear Brexit plan.
            Stating the bleeding obvious, but why is a judge talking about an up coming case before it starts?

            And secondly, it's not the question that's been put to the Court.

            And that's a different story to the one the Indy ran earlier which obviously didn't stir things enough.

              Oh dear Scooter. You forgot the link to Google invests £1bn to create 3,000 jobs in the UK.

              I'm sure it was an oversight on your part and you would have posted it later.

              Branson says he was going to create 3,000 (ficticious) jobs but can't because of Brexit. Google just does it.

                Oh dear oh dear GB9 you forgot to provide the whole picture (as usual).

                Brexit throws £65 billion of investment into doubt

                They recently quizzed 1,015 company bosses about investment decisions since the EU exit referendum on June 23.

                About one third of those decision makers stated that they had either delayed or abandoned investment because of Brexit.

                The most frequently given reason behind this was the fall in the British pound, or the linked rise in inflationary expectations.
                You applaud £1 billion investment in one hand whilst loosing £65 billion in the other.

                There's got to be a reason why it's so easy to debunk a Wrexiter. I wonder what it could be...

                  Clear and concise English would be a good start.

                      So while your stuck in the 'might' camp the rest of us are getting on with it. Including Google. I can see why you lost.

                      I still don't know how Branson was going to create the 3,000 jobs he apparently had to cancel. Maybe you can enlighten me?
