What`s the definition of hard and soft Brexit this week?

It should not be an act of faith, it should be a reasoned act.

There are 3 types of Leaver, unfortunately the swear filter wont allow me to show the categories.
From your first link "Worried Remainers deserve to have their fears taken seriously and the effort to reassure them by well-based arguments is an urgent political need." I have an explanation for why the well based arguments are not forthcoming, they don't exist.

All over the EU no more in the EU with Trump on the other side of the Atlantic. They have more to fear with the tit for tat war they want to expand.
What an excellent article. Every remainer can identify themselves in this, but of course, they won't/can't. I feel sorry for the Worried Remainers, but ultimately they are the victims of the Professional Remainers, who generate and exacerbate their worries at every opportunity, not victims of Brexit. Sadly, they won't be able to see that either.
Doubtless there'll be one of their ilk along in a minute or two.........................

So your understanding is the market (people) never reacts to signals......that’s GCSE economics and a basic life kids learn at a very young age

Plans to shift production where obviously in the pipe line long before brexit. They started building the factory in 2015. Its obviously cheaper to manufacture there than other countries in the EU. In or out this wouldn't have made any difference. If anything building hybrids here is the future as petrol will eventually fade out.

The figures are only going in one direction. Brexiteers still have their heads in the sand. More austerity for all....
I fear it's well set in already be interesting to see see a list of larger companies that as guide employ over a 1000 individuals that have closed or moved since Brexit was announced and total the job losses
“The demise of Poundworld follows the collapse into administration this year of the electronics firm Maplin and Toys R Us. House of Fraser announced plans last week to close 31 stores, putting a further 6,000 jobs at risk. Mothercare, New Look and Carpetright are closing dozens of outlets. Restaurants including Prezzo, the burger chain Byron and Jamie’s Italian have also closed outlets.”

Austerity caused by the banks, increased immigration created by EU free movement rules, housing boom created by foreign investors in London, people from london / Brighton selling up moving down this way for a better life and cheaper housing, more houses having to be built to keep up with demand, roads and services over capacity. That is the truth and has nothing to do with Brexit.

The racists, the pensioners and the divs?
Indeed a 1000 word article is not needed to describe them.

Why is there so many people on here thinking it is going to be all bad? It isn't..it will be brilliant...we will be getting our country back...may will be binned, boris, gove and Rees mogg will form the next government and there are all these countries who are just queuing up to do trade with us. So what we lose the car industry..it doesn't matter, they are all Japanese and german and French companies anyway so it doesn't matter, they are foreign. We have our service industry to rely on, which is going from strength to strength...ok so some big shops are going bust, that is fine...we will just spend our money on line.
And this argument about all the foreigners over here staffing our NHS, our coffee shops, our hotel and entertainment industry, our pubs and clubs....it's bollox. There are millions of unemployed English people who are just waiting to take these jobs.
You are all snowflakes...it is going to be brilliant. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if all the countries of the Empire are queuing up to come back to the fold ...even the USA have fallen out with canada so let's not trade with the US as they are bad people and instead trade with Canada...we need fish, seal fur and moose to replace frogs legs, snails and onions!

How do you propose resolving this then?

You're right ! I think we should be more positive and embrace the changes
No ketchup on mine, thanks

Funny that, if someone had used an adjective like "Rancid" to describe Leavers on this thread, you would be top suspect for a reply condemning abusive language and that it showed a lack of argument by resorting to insult.
They will be queuing up to work in cafes and restaurants very shortly. Hope they know the difference between an Ethiopian blend and a single Cuban.

Obviously this comes with the caveat that it's been compiled by a remoaner who thinks he's an expert and these imaginary job losses and continuing austerity #wouldhavehappenedanyway and are nothing to do with Brexit etc
