Do we really need to explain the difference between Germany, a lovely country with a long history and generally nice people and the EU? No wonder you voted to Remain. No concept of what you were voting forYou can be pro BMW. Pro Germany even. And still anti-Eu.
Brexit is now because my 80 year old in laws voted for it. We have endured the fkwittery of the EU for 40 odd years and decided we want out although my instinct thought otherwise. So be it. Gather your thoughts and make the best of it.

A cross party move to frustrate exit from the EU? Likely to have some consequences I'd have thought.

It would also be effective to show disapproval by applying that policy to any UK or overseas company whose senior staff have been actively trying to frustrate Brexit.
this is something i will try to do. not buying products from mainland europe not so much, it is the eu politicians that get my goat, not the people of europe,many of whom are getting a proper eu shafting at the moment.mx5nut said:

Does the agreement fulfil the obligations set out in the referendum?
A helpful reminder in case people have forgotten.
Sounds like May's deal fulfils that, despite the bleating of the world's worst winners about it.A helpful reminder in case people have forgotten.
Mind you, we are making progress, as at least you have stopped talking about overturning the referendum.

Bit of a bummer it doesn't fit with Labours 6 point plan then.
Oh well, no deal it is. And a revised shopping list.
If the Brexiters currently trying to undermine the PM and frustrate Brexit were serious about leaving, they'd be supporting the negotiated deal and getting on with it, then allowing the country to gradually move further away from the EU as long as public support allowed it.
They won't, because they know public sentiment has already shifted towards remaining, so their only chance is to do as much damage now as possible, making it as hard as possible to come back from.

What you're suggesting could happen but I'd be amazed if it did on any significant scale.

So it's the responsibility of our government and parliament to pick from those options based on which would be least damaging for the country.

Just had a conference call with a client in Frankfurt.
Taking this ( very small ) sample size, Germany is laughing at us. There was no worry, no fear for the future. Just guffaws and hilarity.
The UK is the man walking down the street who slips on a banana skin and falls on his arse. A passing pedestrian bumps into our prone body and drops a custard pie on our head. Then a dog takes a dump on us.
Its all very unfortunate but it's also hilarious , apparently. They offered to pay my fees if I wanted to relocate. Barstewards.
