Perhaps Farage and The Brexit Party should campaign for another by election in Peterborough given the closeness of the vote .
That's how it works these days isn't it ?
I'm not sure where you are going with this, biggie.
You are quoting an article from the beginning of 2018 that suggests that steel manufacturers in the EU were finding going a bit easier and which says that was in part down to the EU imposing tariffs on dumped Chinese steel in order to protect the market. Are you saying that is an argument for leaving the EU?
Good question Exile. I do. I am certainly disillusioned with parliamentary democracy and capitalism. They plainly only work for the minority and not the majority. While leaning towards left wing politics I feel that there is a lot of dishonesty and hypocrisy there as well but I do believe there are some genuinely good lefties out there.
I think we need to have a sort of global democracy based on need not greed. How that would be achieved I don't know and I suspect that capitalism will finish us off first as a species and a visiting alien will land on the planet in years to come and. surveying the ruins and desolation, say why the feck did they base their political systems on unbridled capitalism stupid creatures.

Not sure how this supports your argument for us to leave the EU to trade under wto regs. EU steel is doing well in part due to tariffs on China imports. EU protectionism mean there will almost certainly be duty on our exports into the EU. We will find ourselves in the global market up against China with one hand tied behind our back.
Are you longing for the high environmental standards of the old Warsaw Pact countries, Roly? The mess they left behind is still being cleaned up. Have you been watching Chernobyl?
I think, by the way, we will have to honour the referendum result. Maybe we do need to jump in the swimming pool without our water wings. I'm just not sure we will climb out again spluttering and coughing on the side or even if we do we will be better off.

Not seen it Kerr but you can't mess about with stuff like that without proper environmental safeguards where ever they are.Nuclear energy has a lot going for it environmentally but dealing with the waste products needs proper care.Mind you some might argue plastic waste poses just as serious threat to us all. It is shocking the amount of plastic waste their is even from people who do try to recycle etc.
