All quiet for a couple of days

Answers on a postcard - how do people actually see this panning out? How long until we definitely get it resolved either way do you think?

As a post Scottish referendum victim... I say you're all f43ked.

Bitter bitter divisions continue to exist in Scotland and all the more so since the Tory referendum. I predict society will be divided for many years to come with the UK just being a miserable place to live. What was evident from the Scottish referendum is that divisions don't heal nearly as quickly as the causes it took to create them. Give it 10 years before amends are made or the old leave voters die off.

Then there's the coming recession...

Labour and SNP will vote against anything Boris puts forward.

I'm not so sure. I think on a matter of such import, MPs might defy the whip if it were enforced. And JC is the one party leader I might see allowing a free vote (obviously SNP and LD will block-vote)

So the pound taking a beating hasn't impacted TC's cost base? Hasn't Brexit impacted people's income/wealth making them less willing to take foreign holidays? Or is all this just a coincidence?

The main reason that TC have gone belly-up is due to the exorbitant costs associated with trying to maintain a high street presence when the market has moved on.
They have simply gone the same way as a great many other "Big High Street Names" that have stuck their heads in the sand and ignored the inescapable fact that much cheaper online offerings will be able to undercut them to the point of their inevitable demise.

But if it saves you a few quid on comfort blankets to blame it all on Brexit then fill your boots. It is impossible for you to look any denser anyway.

Nobody blamed it all on Brexit. That is just your cretinism shining through.

What do you mean no news?
Thomas Cook just went bust thanks (partly) to Brexit
Labour party disintegrating over Brexit
etc

Did you get an F in CSE English? Does that explain why you can't tell the difference between partly and wholly? Dunce.

Ah. Let me help you there, highlighting a couple of key words.

You see, the first statement isn't blaming it all on Brexit. Perhaps you can find a better example to prove your point?

Wouldn't bet on it. Like several on here, he fell out of the stupid tree and hit all the branches on the way down.

Get your causal relationships roght, man. His poor grades at school and his current lack of critical thinking skills are likely to be effects of his cretinism.
