I'd rather turn that on its head and show what's wrong with the WTD. Of course there'll be those who prefer to pick out the good bits and ignore the anti-democratic & nanny state aspects. To me, the nanny state aspects and appeasement of France put the legislation beyond the pale; the unions would have negotiated much of the good stuff (e.g. 4 weeks' paid holidays) into UK law. We didn't need legislation that really suited France.

For the record. He got a far more interesting CV, than you will ever have.

Mark Francois isn't exactly a great advert for a Brexiter though. He is an attention seeking Walter Mitty character. There are far more respectable, intelligent and admirable Brexit supporters than he. There is a reason he is always on television all the time, it's because he is willing to parrot whatever nonsense the producers of a show want so long as he gets publicity.
And once again to make it clear this isn't true of Brexit supporters as a whole. I want to make it 100% clear this is about Mark Francois specifically. Not you or anyone else on here, not Gove or Johnson, not Vote Leave or Brexit voters. It's him specifically I think is a moron.

Agreed. I rate Farage (as I now await the onslaught).

Who is whimpering and moaning as l wish we could get out of this winners and losers mentality in this country as l just don't think given the deep divisions in this country that any celebratory triumphalism is not the road that we should be going down.

Far more momentous for our family is my brother turns 50 during that week.

To me, 31 January doesn't alter things much, except we'll lose our political influence in Europe. More noteworthy will be when we leave in full, which allegedly is the end of the year.

Sorry, I couldn’t see anything in that article that provided answers to my question...
Could you highlight/quote the part that did, please?

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
I turned your question on its head because my position sits in the camp that France in particular wanted to shackle us to their un-competitive working practices.

Looks like they've succeeded with all the red tape that will be imposed on British industry next year.

I do to, he makes it easy to follow his message and has a likeability lacking in so many politicians plus unlike bozo he actually believed in what he was peddling

Really, I expect for the vast majority of us it'll just be another day. Lets hope the lack of a bong isn't an omenfor brexit itself though. I also hope your fireworks don't turn out to be a damp squib

Yes release us so we can be more competitive with those other countries where workers often find suicide is more preferable than returning to work after lunch and make that woman who gave birth in Amazon's toilets the norm not the exception. Tbh though the rights I think they'll go after aren't the ones that make us uncompetitive it'll be the ones that make it harder to discriminate against us or terminate our employment that go and I'm prepared to put money on it and when that comes to pass I'd be grateful if someone could explain why or how that's made us more competitive

The 31st is an excellent opportunity not only to celebrate but to heal the rift over a few banger's and lots of beer.
we leavers are ready to come together with our remainer friends to build a great future.

But not much is really happening on the 31st. We'll still be paying into the EU, following EU rules on 1st Feb, just we'll lose voting rights and influence. That might continue for years.
It is a Friday and granted, that is an excuse for beer, but that's the only reason !
