  1.  @antonrudenham3259  You are ruled by 10 times more civil servants in the UK. Not to mention that no one voted the office of the PM nor does anyone vote any minister in his office, nor does anyone vote anyone into the House of Lords. Sounds quite undemocratic to me.

  2.  @millwallholdings  Please explain to me what generally a fact is according to your definition. It seems your use is not covered by the definition. A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence. For example, "this sentence contains words" is a linguistic fact, and "the sun is a star" is a cosmological fact. Further, "Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States" and "Abraham Lincoln was assassinated" are also both facts. All of these statements have the epistemic quality of being ontologically superior to opinion or interpretation — they are either categorically necessary or supported by adequate historical documentation. Conversely, while it may be both consistent and true that "most cats are cute", it's not a fact. Generally speaking, facts transcend belief and serve as concrete descriptions of a state of affairs on which beliefs can later be assigned. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability — that is whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement by experiments or other means.

  3.  Steve Terry  Do you have any support for your claim or is this a gut feeling fueled by anger?

  4.  fred smith  If the Tories do not have the majority in Parliament then they should step aside. The Tories put party politics and personal fame above everything.

  6.  @totokfr  Thanks for stating the facts even as some people are irritated by facts that it often gets loud.

  7. Lars Larsen - The problem is that the UK send negotiators to the EU. These negotiators had no backing from the majority of Parliament nor any mandate. So the UK ended up with something that has no majority. This is a pure Tory mess.

  8.  @stephenconway2468  My point is that the UK negotiators had no mandate and no majority in Parliament. This means the Tory effectively are a bunch of headless chicken which never could agree before sending out negotiators what they wanted. Amazingly the EU27 set clear limits for their negotiator, where regularly informed and could come to a shard position.

  9.  Salterino Kripperino  This is a withdrawal agreement and when the Parliament does not vote for it then it will be an uncontrolled crash out on the 29th March 2019. The Tories do not know what they want, nor can they agree on anything. In regard to leaving they are the animal spellbound by the headlights of Brexit that will hit them in March like a wall of bricks.

  10.  @larslarsen5414  When one listens to MPs then a lot of them have no clue about frictionless trade, rules of origin, custom duties and paper work to mention just a handful of Leave challenges. No one really gets it that 10.000 lorries a day will no longer pass through Dover when 90% of the lorries need 20 minutes or more delays instead of a few minutes. I have heard some even claim that they "hope or wish" that the EU does not make border checks. As they do not get it that a crash out means that the UK is a third country just like Canada. Well less then Canada as they have a trade deal with the EU.

  11.  Salterino Kripperino  What does in this context "best result" mean for a family with two kids in Leeds?

  12.  Salterino Kripperino  What are these claims based on? Do we have a study you rely on for your claims? How do we know what a government in the future will do? Please post the link to the study your claims are based on. If they are just gut feelings then thank you for sharing your opinion.

  13.  Salterino Kripperino  I guess it is news to some people that foreign investment and the jobs they brought to the UK came largely because the UK is in the EU single market and customs union. For example the Japaneses said explicitly that they came because of the promises for the EU single market and customs union to the UK. We speak here about 144000 British jobs in over 1200 companies in the UK. Each of these companies will leave in part or as a whole as they produce for a 450 million people market. More than 50% immigration comes from outside the EU. So the flow of immigrants will keep coming. They will just get more from other continents. Less jobs, less tax income, less health care and other public services, not to forget Tory austerity. The Tories have already cut thousands of NHS beds and more than 10.000 police jobs.

  14.  Salterino Kripperino  Oh the great intrigue in which everyone is involved who does not have once favoured opinion. Fascinating! How about representatives of the automotive industry which can be sued by their investors if they do not tell them about risk and opportunities? They agree that the car industry will have to downsize as the just in time delivery works only in the EU single market and customs union. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the other EU countries and they are delivered just in time. Nissan alone needs 2 million parts a day. Most of these cars are then sold to the other EU countries. Then have to downsize and new production lines will most likely open in other countries as the UK.
