So, Elon Musk has decided to build his Tesla gigafactory in Germany,  shunning the U.K, for reasons of Brexit uncertainty.
So, that’s thousands of high quality jobs down the swannee river.
You Leavers and Brexiteers really thought it through didn’t you?  FFS...

To be fair to anyone who voted, whether it was to remain or leave ( I voted remain )  the fault lies with the Conservative Government.
Such an important issue should have been discussed in detail and any eventuality ironed out before it was put to the people who should have been advised of the true facts

We now have a general election coming on and the leaders of the various parties have been described as liars, idiots, Marxist fantasists and so on.    So what example are they setting for the ordinary voter

We are all in it together said the last 3 Prime ministers but how come the Chancellor of the Exchequer avoided paying £2  million in tax by using loopholes in the law?         They are out of touch with the ordinary working person

Agree with you Hugo, just shows you how bad Cameron was,didn't think the vote would be out, but in buiseness they would look at the big picture, should have been a committe of all parties working together,  funny when May and then Boris were negotiating they couldn't tell us, that's understandable But now Boris says he's got a deal Why hasn't he told the People 🤔 As he's got plenty to hide 😡😡 .   On another topic have you seen the idiots were clearing the sand, Oh it's back again 😂😡

You are spot on there Norman, they should be looking after the interests of the country as a whole and not simply looking after the interests of their own party.
As you have pointed out if Boris has got a deal like he said he has then why doesn't he tell the people what the deal is and then the electorate can decide on which way to vote.
I think that his deal must be similar to the one May got and he is hoping for a Conservative majority in the election so that the deal can go through and he can then get the Brexit done.       Is Boris the liar in the pack?       I think that we already know the answer to that question.


As for the West Shore, I wish that I had shares in Jennings, a nice regular earner

Well, Johnson is well known as both a liar and a racist. Johnson was sacked from The Times for fabricating a quote in an article, and in 2004 he was “relieved of his duties” as shadow arts minister of the Tory Party for allegedly lying about an extra-marital affair.

Nor was his tenure as Mayor of London free from broken vows. He promised to totally eradicate rough sleeping on the streets of London by 2012; rough sleeping doubled under his leadership. His 2008 manifesto promised there would be manned ticket offices at every station; the former Mayor closed all of London's ticket offices. He aimed to reduce transport fares; they increased by 4.2 per cent on average and subsequently rose in line with inflation.

He described women as  'blubbing blondes' or 'collapsing with emotion'.

Johnson compared gay marriage to bestiality, writing that "If gay marriage was OK ... then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men, or indeed three men and a dog."

He referred to members of the Gay community as "tank-topped bumboys" in "the Ministry of Sound" nightclub, and added that Mandelson's departure would cause the "lipstick" to come away from Blair's government.

In a separate Telegraph column Johnson also bewailed attempts to increase equality at the BBC for gay people.

Writing in the Telegraph in 2002, Johnson referred to a visit to Africa by the then prime minister Tony Blair.

"What a relief it must be for Blair to get out of England. It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies," he wrote, referring to African people as having "watermelon smiles."

Confronted about the comment during his first campaign for London Mayor, Johnson claimed that the comments had been "taken out of context."

This is the type of person so beloved of the Tory Party Membership they made him Prime Minster.  In reality, of course, he's merely a second-rate clown, lacking in integrity, as we've already seen, and determined only to cling to power, whatever it might cost the country.

I trust those who voted for Brexit are pleased.
