You left an apostrophe and a couple of letters out of that critique.

Deliberate I find sometimes if communicating with people it's better to get on their level....

As for an Apostrophe I always have an excess of those

I was once in a lunch queue with Norman Lamont and he took the last samosa from the buffet. That's all I've got.

Am I the only one that doesn't seem to understand what the fuss is about leaving the single market?

If the UK stays in the single market there wont be any trade deals with other countries, as only the EU can do that. So surely to have a UK that trades globally then you would have to leave the single market?

"It is a serious matter when an unelected Prime Minister pursues a course of action which is against the national interest"

It is a serious matter when unelected internet warriors don't understand Prime Ministers are not elected by public vote.

OK - 2 part question and answer

1. Have you got children?

if yes go to question 2

if No go to question 3

2. Have you ever seen what happens when you take away a comfort blanket or cuddly toy from a child

3. Have you ever seen what happens when a parent takes away a comfort blanket or cuddly toy from a child

Now for some "people" the "EU" is that comfort blanket or cuddly toy

U wot?

It was in response to Birdcage's post about "what has a politician taken from you" and the only thing I could think of was that spicy treat. Lord Lamont was (still is, I think) chair of the British-Iranian Chamber of Commerce, and as part of my job back then I used to take a cheeky trip up to London every so often - mainly to fall asleep in a seminar before enjoying the wonderful buffet that was laid on.

Iranian food is fantastic, mixing the spice of the Indian subcontinent with the fragrance and flavour of the middle east; I'd heartily recommend it. However, if there's an enobled former chancellor skulking around with a beady eye and a fork you'd better keep your wits about you.

Has the OP responded... or lit the grenade and run away????
If the latter... can we close the thread?

I don't understood why someone who has been tasked with entering into some fairly important negotiations is expected to tell the public exactly what she is going to do before she does it. Kinda puts her on the back foot.

Additionally, assuming the single market is the big prize, the EU have to believe the UK is willing to walk away if a deal cannot be made.

Doesn't today's speech make pursuit of the single market very difficult politically? The howls of "sell out" and "traitor" would be off the scale.

He doesn't need too. I'm pretty sure a few hundred morons digitally signing some stty inarticulate internet petition is a legally binding component of our constitution process to remove a sitting Prime Minister.

I think it's pretty clear that the idea of remaining in the single market is over. At a rough guess they've looked at it and decided that getting all 27 remaining member states and EU itself to agree to a market in goods and services without freedom of movement just wasn't going to happen. The Brexit negotiation is now basically just a trade agreement.

as this appears to be an off topic thread i would just like to add the fresh stone baked bread to the iranian food worth trying list. i can still remember the taste now. a definite business opportunity in the uk for someone if ever there was one. my grandmother used to take me to the street vendor that sold it where we stayed in tehran every saturday morning. best eaten still hot and smothered in butter ,lovely.

Exactly, she should have been able to keep stum until she got to the negotiation table, but No, an awful lot of knobbers insisted the government didnt have a plan at all she was incompetent and they were just scratching their holes when they were in meetings, so by sheer pressure she was forced to give a speach outlining her proposals.

So now we know, and its a 2 bore fk you to a soft brexit and it was a good show of strength I reckon. Time will tell.

I like this so thought I'd share with the loungers.

We are going to end up paying a lot more for our car stuff thanks to this woman's wilful misinterpretation of the referendum.

I won't dare to talk about my sons opportunities in Europe going down the toilet.

Well, if your son did what most of the youngest generation of voters did, he stayed at home working on his erectile dysfunction rather than bothering to vote, then blamed the result on those who did vote.

If yours was one of the same I'd never let him forget it. Ever.

I know, it must be equally terrible for the countries who are not yet privileged to be in the cosy embrace of the EU. Their economies must be doing terribly and their people with no opportunities. It's strange that so many citizens of the EU in other countries wish for their countries to leave. They clearly need to be 're-educated'.
