    That fact alone ought to have been worth a bus sticker!!
    Won't irk me, got no skin the game.
    Bit pathetic that you lot will accept a humiliating climbdown though.

    Possibly down to a change in wind direction or some other transitory event that is cataclysmic enough to alter your dimwitted perspective.

    Oh come now, everyone with at least half a brain cell knows that "hard" Brexit is the only "real" Brexit.
    Anything else is getting the worst bits of the EU (rule-taking) without the good bits (access to the single market).
    But I suppose dumbkopfs like you haven't really understood the situation yet

    Bunch of petulant churlish children that ought to be, and thankfully largely are, completely ignored.

    Your hero said that if the result was less than 60% in favour of remain, he would want it re-run. But then when the result was 52% in favour of leaving, he felt that was a big enough majority to change his mind.

    Also, most people who voted to remain are happy with the democratic process, they just want the whole thing to happen, not the dragging of feet by those supposedly running Brexit, the failure to make any meaningful decisions or progress in 2 years and the constant whining by those who voted for Brexit who want to blame the EU and blame those who voted to remain for the abject failure of the progress of Brexit.

    Take some responsibility and take some action.

    ...or just continue the MO of many Brexit supporters in blaming everyone, pointing fingers, complaining and doing nothing abut trying to move forward.

    You won. GET ON WITH IT!

    Oh, and we're leaving so probably time to move on and give up this Brexit related depressive mental illness.

    His taxes will endure though because Tory Scum are only happy to take extra cash and blame Labour.

    It’s hard to find much substance in the news about their exact reasons. There’s this from the FT:

    Tax-related concerns in the event of a no-deal Brexit could include potentially greater liabilities for a UK-headquartered Japanese company as it received the dividends from its European operations.
    Presumably their bean counters have assessed the risks and modelled the projections and come to a conclusion that it is cost efficient and more risk averse to move now rather than wait and see.

    The EU can't seem to legislate on low-tax regimes inside the Union, so quite how they are going to do so on those outside is something of a mystery.
    Not quite true, there is this which comes into effect on 1 Jan 2019. Some say it’s one of the drivers for the Rees-Moggs, Banks’, etc....

    https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_custom...e-directive_en

    Your point though is a valid one when comparing current rates with, for example, Ireland.
