    The fact that he has not been in touch with Leo after a week is the height of disrespect to all of us. Colonial UK mindset is well and truly back. I just hope the EU stick with us but in reality we are only 4.7m out of 500m people this I'd be fearful of getting thrown under the bus.

    He said what he had to say out loud to everyone in the EU

    What exactly is he supposed to get in touch with us about?

    Usually foreign Leaders ring to congratulate a new Leader on their appointment .

    Apparently Leo has been busy on his photoshoots :eek:

    Leaving aside the EU leaders, Anglo-Irish relations. Unique in the scheme of things. People of NI are not pawns.

    All markets down bar one, except the EU against the pound which seems to buck the world trend at the moment. Can't get Boris to the table the conventional way manipulate the market to make your argument stronger on why not to leave.

    Yep. More than 95% voted to remain in the EU and they're currently calling for a second referendum. They'll be a rule taker after Brexit. This is everything the Spanish could have hoped for.

    In fact I'm starting to think that Brexit was funded by the SNP, Sinn Fein and the Spanish government.

    You realise that they are exchange rates and not markets?

    None of them are "down", the currencies being compared, in the order they're being listed, have dropped in value.

    Instead of listing GBP-USD, it could have listed USD-GBP, and all of a sudden that "market" would be "up"

    If this is the argument you're resorting too, you might want to have a rethink.

    Well there is only one thing to say really.

    Obviously this whole situation is going to be ten times the farce it already was now.

    That's it.

    The reason he has not been in touch with Leo is the same reason he won't meet with EU leaders. He knows he is holding a ludicrous position and he is saving himself some embarrassment!

    As for getting thrown under the bus - we've been hearing that now for 2-years and still nobody has outlined under what mechanism we even could be thrown under any bus

    Malvinas aren't too bad this time of year, less competition from penguins for room on the beaches.

    Looking forward to shopping for Spanish and French flats and villas going cheap for a quick sale this autumn.

    Boris Johnson in Scotland as Sturgeon criticised his aiming for a no deal Brexit. Ruth Davidson, Scottish Mp couldn't even answer if Boris was bad or good for the Scottish Tory party. Also people who were former Scottish unionists state that they changed their mind as Boris is a complete idiot they don't trust.

    Channel 4 is not neutral on Brexit . Its also a leftie outlet .

    Check youtube for Kathy Newman making a complete plonker of herself in an interview with Jordon Peterson . What an embarrassment that was .

    Channel4 lost a lot of credibility after that . Any pretence on being unbiased was washed away .

    No offence but that's no different than any other conspiracy theorist's post. Every channel is reporting the same. I suggest learn to look at the sources yourself. The interviews with Sturgeon and Davidson and you'll be better informed.

    Channel 4 is not neutral on Brexit . I don’t think they would even deny it themselves .

    It gives the news from a leftie feminist point of view . Again , I don’t think they would deny this themselves .

    Again you're doing it wrong. Look at the things presented as facts in each report and deal with them. Otherwise it appears you're unable to comprehend them and instead attack the messenger. It's one of the reasons there's a rule against attacking the poster here. People unable to deal with the points use that as a defence.

    They can't throw us under a bus if they do that the EU collapses. Unity is the only way the EU come out of this.

    We are going to have to agree to disagree on channel 4 .

    Anything they produce is tainted from the bias they are coming from . No different than CNN or FOX News in their own way .

    Why would anyone put credence on output that is coming from a biased broadcaster . They have an agenda and they promote that agenda .

    I for one would love to go back to when broadcasters presented un-biased facts and let the viewers / listeners / readers make up their own mind .

    Those days are long gone . There was a time when you would not know / have great difficulty guessing the presenters / journalists own views .

    Sadly these days are long gone .

    But you're clearly biased and also unable to analyse the facts. So I can't take your posts any more serious than those from the conspiracy theory forum.

    Sky News i find is Neutral.

    Sophy Ridge on Sunday is an excellent watch and not afraid to ask either side difficult questions.

    With regards Channel 4 news, i actually find them slightly more centrist right. I have seen Corbyn and Jon Snow get in to some ding dongs in the past, although i am talking specifically about C4news and not any other programmes it airs.

    Actually dispatches usually swings a bit to the left
