Of course it was. Remain would probably have won without all the project fear BS and they might even have wangled a 2nd ref without the latest project fear nonsense and fanatical quasi-religious Remoaners going on and on. It's also clear that Barmier and Tusk want to give the UK a poor deal and be intransigent about it to force the UK out. I don't blame them, we were always the awkward ones. They absolutely can't risk the UK leaving and it being anything other than a catastrophe for the UK, and so I suppose they will come back to the table at the 11th hour to make some minor concession that allows the coward May to get a deal through the HoC. And how relieved we'll all be to have a deal with the magnificent trading bloc that is the EU, ignoring the fact that it's slipping back into recession, but we'll have avoided "crashing out with no deal". Phew! -

You do know that the this is just the Withdrawal Agreement, and that we don't yet have a "deal with the magnificent trading bloc" in a trading sense? March 29 is not the end of the process, it's just the end of the beginning.Comment

A bit closer than that as Greg Clark has just pointed out:Originally posted by meridian View PostNice rant.

Greg Clark names Valentine's Day as the deadline for concluding a deal - or presumably extending negotiations. Otherwise firms exporters to the Far East will be plunged into chaosAn engineering employer said to me yesterday, ‘Actually D-Day is much closer for us — it’s the middle to the end of February if you are shipping to the Far East.’ The reason for that is if you are sending a consignment of goods to Japan or South Korea, it’s going to take six weeks for it to arrive. Both countries have free-trade agreements with the EU, which will fall if we have no deal. So you don’t know whether the goods that you’ve had to embark on the ocean, when they arrive there will be admitted and if so what tariffs are going to be paid.
People say ‘Things are always decided at the 59th minute of the 11th hour’. But it’s important to understand where ‘the wire’ is. The wire is not the 29th of March.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

It’s due to the rather noxious result of the combustion process.Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostGiven your arguments above perhaps you could enlighten us all then as to why diesel engined cars are so publically seen and nasty unclean and something that is poisoning our environment.

Now, petrol engines emit uHCs and CO, but they also emit a fraction of the NOx and particulates.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I currently drive one of their diesel engined cars (<2years old) and the manual specifically excludes the use of 100% bio diesel.

2. You mean to say that I contradicted you, that PSA cars can run on biodiesel, but that you then had to put clauses in to your lie to twist it to appear true in a very specific case.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
