Apologies if appeared smug, not intended. Just that in the post to which I replied you thought it be good if UK could be a member of single market and cut trade deals outside the EU 28 club. I have seen similar with farmer 'members' of buying groups and veg co-ops. Want and expect the best the co-op or group can get but if can get better outside either bolloc. the group staff or trade outside. Hey ho, that's all.
the trouble we found with them was that it was just someone else wanting a % ,sometimes it was cheaper but cheaper for a reason and sometimes we could buy cheaper elsewhere
I also knew someone that supplied a few and quite frankly they didn't like supplying them because they would want a very good price to start with but would put all their members business with another supplier if they could do it for two pence less, so in a way the buying groups treated their suppliers the same way that some buying group members treated the buying group

Isnt that the point of a buying group, to get best
Price for the members who as collective group have more clout than a farmer on his own?
 
If Farage is "your" type of politician then don't complain about any of the shower of sh1te in the UK parliament. He has earned a fortune in MEP salaries, joined various committees to beef it up, took the expenses and the perks and failed to show up at meetings - he is a career politician and has nothing to offer a post Brexit Uk. If he's your standard of politician then you need to raise your standards. As for say it as it is, talks cheap.
Happy Easter everyone, hope its been a gd one.

Putting their careers on the line (probably down the drain) for what they beleive is the best interest of the country. What more commitment do you want?

Commitment to what ? nobody knows what brexit looks like , so they're guessing .
Either way it makes no odds as the PM has totally f**ked it up , who's paying 39 + bill for brino , better off remaining .
