    Thanks for reminding us who to blame when we are given the same sort of treatment Germany got in the 1930's.

    That is CUK. What about Brexit?

    All stuff that the EU ended. The UK government wasn't going to increase annual leave on its own bat from 4 weeks to 5.6 weeks. That's an EU rule. The Working Time Directive prevents the 'every hour god sends' bit.

    And lets face it, the employees are rarely there for any reason other than because they want money in their pocket.

    Why are you so happy to see a company’s jobs destroyed just because you have a chip on your shoulder about CEOs? Nobody else has mentioned that they think CEOs are “better than we are”.

    I’ve mentioned employees and their families twice now, which you’ve ignored twice. Classic traits of a psychopath?

    Nice. What makes you different to your perceptions of the CEO, then? Certainly no altruism shown on your part.

    There is no altruism just the worshipping of cash.

    Well done.

    But fook those few people who think the politicians of this world exist to line their pockets.

    There's all sorts of thrashing and moaning about losing decision making power but what you have to understand is:

    1) You aren't going to get any more power from the EU deal
    2) Brexit is dead in the waterTM

    so it's going to be either

    1) BRINO
    2) Cancel Brexit altogether

    I'm totally fine with either.

    We won.
