    Brexit will be yet another part of British history showing ignorance and incompetence similar to the middle ages when there was mass killing of cats because they were witches; it then lead to a plague.
    Cats are evil though

    No real news since... have talks continued? Have they given up? Are they saving a big announcement for Xmas?
    Negotiators go into a virtual tunnel for the real work and nothing further is heard until they come out the other end with a deal apparently.

    Well we still have 4 weeks and 6 days to agree a deal, translate it in all EU languages, have it scrutinised and approved by the Houses of Commons and Lords, all EU parliaments and have the respective heads of states sign it into law.
    I mean sounds like a project I was asked to do for a well known Japanese firm in the UK ( I rejected the contract and it failed so miserably it was for several weeks in BBC you and yours as consumers were highly affected)

    It all depends on whether Boris decides to cave. He's in a corner so I suspect he might not. The fishermen will get sold out at the drop of a hat, the problem is the "level playing field".
