Monsieur Dominic Grieve

[Danllan]

I have just heard him, in an interview on BBC R4. Since June 24th 2016 he has repeatedly stated that the referendum result has to be respected. He has now changed his mind and is insisting that another referendum is necessary.

Well, he is half-French, had a French education and has been awarded the Legion d-honneur for services to... France.

Quelle surprise?

Top man isn’t he?
Maybe your problem with him is professional jelousy?

 

[capfits]

Finished my tea now,
So what to take from this?
@Danllan you do not like people of dual nationality? people with a pragmatic mindset, people with French parentage, people as czechmate suggests who progressed further professionally than yourself.

Or is it just more simply it is easier to go for the man when a national confirmatory referendum in the circumstances of a no deal Brexit is such a bad idea?

The floor is open.

Much as @Danllan does not like the bible, the perfect answer to @capfits is

Matthew Chapter 6 verse 24:-

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Perhaps like so many of us, he is thinking of this country, first , second and third.

Well clearly Mathew never worked as a freelancer.

Yes - but as he has dual nationality - which country is he thinking of first, second and third??

 

[Widgetone]

He is a former attorney general, a Tory through and through, and can see an impending disaster a mile off.
He has every right to say it as he sees it, he's an MP with a free mind unlike most of the Tory lemmings too scared to criticise Cummings.

The fact he owns £millions in shares of European companies has nothing to do with anything ...

which country would that be?
uk
france
eu empire
and being the oh so clever lawyer he thinks he is,
does it depend on who he is talking too?

Well he would gain from Brexit then as the pound crashes.
Just as JRM and a host of hedge funders have made a fortune shorting the pound

Most European companies trade into the UK as it's the best market in Europe .. or in other words over priced.

JRM is a bit player compared to George Soros, Goldman Sachs, Bloomberg etc .. all of which short and trade in stocks minute by minute.

The pretense that JRM or anyone else should be stopped from shorting the £ is inane to say the least.
