Since when did you turn into an NPC, anyways?

I didn't turn into anything, I simply commented on the retarded comment that Carl Benjamin would be offering a "more balanced view".

It was a stupid, trollish post, a bit like someone saying Donald Trump is the greatest, most intelligent, most honest president the USA has ever had...

Also, the hilarity of calling Carl Benjamin's take "reasonable" when the title compares the only publicly elected body in the UK deliberating this to the Nazi-aligned French government.

So you've always been of the habit swallowing a load of BS talking points wholesale and then using that as an excuse to dismiss everything a person has said without even taking long enough to find out what they're saying?

Mischief managed in that case, I daresay.

Oh, so you can actually make time for Sargon, seeing as none of those accusations actually have any substance to them?

It's all from direct statements made by him, so I would say they have substance.

PS

His name is actually Carl, I know you also like to hide behind alternative names but it's best to use his name for accuracy ;)

Only if the statements are twisted and taken out of context. Which of course is exactly what NPCs are wont to do.

Well maybe not the best ever. But he is certainly up there. Probably top 10.

Are you capable of forming your own thoughts or is the best you can do to quote some lefty gossip magazine?
 
We are flying to UK end November. I just need them to make whatever decision that causes GBP to crash so I get more for my ZAR.

Don't hate me for wanting whats best for me, it's what all those politicians in UK and EU are doing anyway! Screw them all!
 
Yoh, I guess negotiations aren't going so well for Boris.
Speaking in a debate in the EU's legislature Guy Verhofstadt accused Boris Johnson of blaming everyone but himself for the situation the UK found itself in.

"The real reason why this is happening is very simply: it's a blame game against everybody. A blame game against the European Union, against Ireland, against Mrs Merkel, against the British judicial system, against Labour, against the Lib Dems, even against Mrs May," he said.


"The only one who is not to be blamed is Mr Johnson himself, apparently. But all the rest are the source of our problems. That is what is happening today. All those who are not playing his game are 'traitors' or a 'collaborator', or 'surrenderers'.

Speaking in the same debate Mr Verhofstadt dismissed Boris Johnson's Brexit proposals, telling MEPs: "I will be less diplomatic than Michel Barnier. I think the proposal that Boris Johnson put forward exactly one week ago was not serious at all, dear colleagues.

"Not serious at all, because it was in fact – I call it a virtual proposal - not a real proposal. It gives a veto to the DUP, it puts customs facilities not on the border but in all the other parts of the islands of Ireland."

According to the local news here tonight, Nissan have also cancelled the night shift at the Sunderland plant citing "Brexit uncertainty", they claim no immediate redundancies but the night shift workers who will be reallocated to day shift duties will be losing their shift allowance (which was 22% of the wages).

Some very unhappy workers complaining about not being able to afford their mortgages now.

This is also not a diesel manufacturing cutback, it includes the Nissan Leaf and petrol car production (only 10% of Sunderland was diesel iirc). The head of Nissan Europe was interviewed at the plant, he wouldn't rule out closing the factory down next year if Brexit resulted in a 10% tariff on cars to Europe.
