Sorry OldFogey but your point is completely meaningless and well out of date. We are well past the referendum, it was 2 years ago.

Since then the government has voted to trigger Article 50 and triggered it. That is binding. Doesn't matter what any of us think, our elected government firmly decided to trigger Article 50.

Job done.

Suck it up sonny.

the whole farce just like 9/11 after the event is known to be a cover up so will brexit in the coming years be unveiled as the elite ignoring democracy for their own self serving corrupt yes CORRUPT own interests

I agree about the 2 main parties getting slaughtered in the next general election and for decades to come.

There was no referendum to actually take us into the Common Market - that arrogant, ignorant turd Heath did it, merely because he was Prime Minister.

We've covered that. it doesn't apply on this issue.

You must have missed the bit where every Gov't and every political party and every politician of note has pledged to honour the result of the 2016 EU referendum.
Not withstanding that it was printed on the Gov't's own propoganda leaflet that we taxpayers ( Remainers and Leavers) were forced to pay for .

Now go back to the play room, son, the Grown-ups are talking!

There is no 'And' Annie.

They're investing £1billion in the UK.

Norway's investment companies are showing continued confidence in the UK.

The US are actively looking for investment opportunities.

Probably just as well now that the EU is heading for recession

Post Brexit Britain looks like it will be a fun place to be!!

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has always invested in the UK. Recently the value of those investments has been going down, in part due to Brexit. The Norwegians are just protecting there investment and using the weak pound and faltering property market alas an opportunity as are many of the Middle Eastern funds. If just means that more of the Uk will be owned by foreign interests.

Real investment is from manufacturing companies such as Honda, Toyota and Hitachi who become major employers and produce goods to export
