Interesting percentages so far

45.5% are of the same opinion as the fella that use to run the WTO
54.5% believe that Esther McVey knows best

for those of you who haven't seen it, here's the video that Esther McVey recently launched with the snazzy title "Get 2 Know WTO"

I love the presenting style, it's almost like she's presenting Jackanory

There trying to frighten a different group everyday to pile pressure on MP's to vote for TM's awful deal. Lets have a no deal exit and look this nightmare in the eye, i think its fake news and project fear from alot of no nothing blow hards myself.

Have you actually researched what WTO entails? would you even consider consulting a professional that understood all the detail and how that might impact on your particular sector?

Put it this way, if you were involved in, say, a land title dispute, would you consult with a solicitor that specialised in transfer of title? or would you put your faith in the advice of, say, some random bloke that owned a pub?

For every expert on why a no deal is terrible there is an expert on why its great. Experts are two a penny with nothing more than there opinion.

what nonsense, there are only two economists who say No Deal is a good thing. One is an Indian fella who's name escapes me, but he's a shill for Jacob Rees-Moggs ERG group, the other is the infamous Patrick Minford (also a shill for the ERG)

Every other expert thinks it's a sh1t idea

Can you name me any other experts that think No-Deal is great?

Nope, didn't think so

That’s it really isn’t it, the fat piggies are worried the trough is going to run empty.

I don't follow. The chap that used to run the WTO equates the regime to a football team playing in the premiership who suddenly decide to knock down their stadium and play in the 4th division with a portacabin for a dressing room. What axe does he have to grind? or what trough is worried will run empty?

Random bloke owns nearly a thousand pubs, trading from all over the world, would trust him more than any politician!
