Would I let you down on posting a Brexit news story? Of course not! I posted that story yesterday! ;)

Errr - no you didn’t. Try actually reading it. Tim Martin says yesterday’s Telegraph article misrepresented him. Do keep up.

You got me on that, my skim-reading skills need improving!

I'm slightly sceptical of Tim Martin's correction though. If you've got an issue with the original article, would the first port of call not be the publication you gave the interview too, the Daily Telegraph? They should have a recording of the interview.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Not really - if you’re as influential as Tim Martin, it’s easier and more effective to get rival publications to slag off whoever misquoted you, especially if some of those publications referenced the original article, because they have no primary evidence of the original interview and are more vulnerable to a defamation claim. The Telegraph isn’t going to print a retraction unless it has to, and by then the news cycle has moved on and nobody notices. The misquote story got fairly extensive broadcast coverage yesterday - arguably, more than the original story. Job done as far as Mr Spoons is concerned.

Defamation cases are long, expensive affairs. If you have sufficient influence, it is usually better to play the news media than to fight it.

Good news.

Good news though I thought the USA was the UK's main trading partner outside the EU.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Probably main European trading partner outside the EU, as we know the EU isn’t Europe.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

You’re reading the sentence backwards. The UK is Norway’s main trading partner, not vice versa.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

The article clearly states Britain is Norway’s biggest trading partner.

So any reference to yankland is irrelevant.

I believe that Telegraph readers are clever enough to see through this framing for what it really is - breaking international law.

@FEMI = I have no relevance anymore whatsoever.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

My wife pre-ordered a limited edition "Best of" CD from FNAC in France, international postage included.

The money was taken from Paypal on the day of release.

2 weeks later it had not arrived here, so I emailed FNAC.

Their response was an immediate refund and an apology stating that they no longer export to the UK due to the problems caused by Brexit.
