    Hadn't research the P&O detail above what was in the Guardian article. It clearly referred to the decision being becasue they lose the EU tax benefits. What more is there to understand of their reasons for leaving?

    Abbott? Why bring that up? I saw her, she was crap and annoying as usual, no change there. But why do you ask? No I didn't see any particular 'bullying'. Not read anything from Momentum other than a Facebook link which I wasn't interested to click on. Why do you ask? Bit weird...
    I’m sorry for upsetting you raging. You always seem so keen to talk politics.

    I raised the tax issue as it seemed apt, given that you raised P&O’s decision to reflag their fleet in order to reduce their tax. Surely you can see how it informed our past debate? You have always been rather dismissive of the notion that your party’s plans to raid businesses for many billions of pounds would produce an adverse reaction, but then you gave an actual example of a company reacting to a tax rise. Whether that derives from Brexit or from the actions of a UK government is irrelevant. The effect is there for you to see (and post about).

    I’m concerned for you now as some people reading your post might feel that you are trying to hide an inconvenient truth that you inadvertently raised. I don’t think that of course.

    I raised Abbott, because I know that you are keen Labour supporter and was curious about whether you agreed with the decision of your party to lodge a formal complaint with the BBC about Abbott being bullied. It’s called having a conversation. Again, I’m worried that people might see your reaction and think that you are trying to avoid talking about the performance of the MP that you would have as Home Secretary of our country - by tradition the fourth most senior position in government.

    Kerr has the absolute audacity to mention Diane Abbott, and continues to peddle the daily mail tripe about Corbyn, when all this has been going on with this shower of shyte that's in power....read the list and what they've resigned for....

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...d_May_ministry

    Going back to the Abbott thing on QT, there's questions still to be asked regarding the pre show warm up jokes, the bbc have already basically admitted wrongfully stating the results of previous opinion polls, it's an ongoing campaign. Dianne Abbott may not be the slickest of politicians in front of the camera, it's painful sometimes i'd agree, read this link though and take a look at her election results eh.....

    Kerr, you're a one trick pony hwo is swallowing anything the daily mail tells you, your opinions on here are straight out of nutjob right wing gutter press, it's pathetic to be honest.

    Happy to talk politics Kerr.

    I don't think I've mentioned it before but I'm interested in your professed stance, oft repeated, that you have no political affiliation to any party. As you do appear to have quite (apparently) similar views to the Conservative party, please do talk politics to me about why you don't vote Conservative and specifically what their last manifesto lacked that would have secured your oh-so-free-thinking-superior--to-anyone-else vote?

    And whilst you're in the mood to talk politics, please also explain your desired outcome for the current Brexit deadlock. What would you like to happen next?

    I look forward to your responses in this conversation that you seek.

What is your response to these company's decision?

    RE: Most bosses likely to invest more after Brexit, what is your source for that?
    CEO survey, most expect to employ more people not fewer.

    Not surprised you didn't read it, any good news re Brexit is suppressed by the mainstream media especially the BBC.

    Interesting articles MMM
    Let's throw a little light on Nicky Morgan which is a litany of stupidity & gives Abbott a run for her money

    If you took a real deep look at the whole of the tory parliamentary party, there aint many of them you'd trust with running an household, and it's increasingly clear that they've all one thing on their minds, their own selfish ends, i'm not surprised by that, they've always been that to me, somehow though, with the help of the media, they continue to get elected....

    Whichever way you voted in the referendum, it really is time to accept that there's a hell of a lot of people want to damage this country for their own ends and they don't give a shyte about you and me, and that's happening right now, project fear is becoming reality day by day, and it's a tagedy.

    But Labour, Lib Dems, SNP are OK?

    Don't think so.

    Got rose-coloured glasses on there.

    I think we've generally concurred that Abbott is a weak link, how much more clear can we be?

    But as ET and MMM say, where is the equal criticism of hapless Tories, especially coming from the self professed neutral free and fearless thinker among us, that still can't bring himself to identify a single policy difference between himself and the Tories....
