Out of interest, would you mind sharing which Brexit you voted for?

You didn't really expect a reply did you WL?

Wander, if you could list the of variations you refer to, I'd would be happy to choose one. I voted for Britain's exit and not to remain. For now, it seems to me that there is only one Brexit process, and the details have still to be discussed and agreed. 
Also, I have no problem answering sensible questions, but am a little averse to talking to anyone who is so single-minded that they cannot accept any views that do not coincide with their own.

WL did ask you a sensible question - which brexit you voted for.

You haven't answered it. Instead you asked him to give you a list of variations. Why not just answer the question?

Read the answer, slowly, and you will see that I don't consider there to be any variations. However if he sees a multitude of final exit scenarios, and not just aspects of the ongoing argument, then would he kindly explain them to me.
If you read it carefully, you will see that the second paragraph of my answer is actually aimed at yourself.

Just ignore it gloss. Were on page 33 and we've heard the same crap repeated over and over and over, I include what I've said in that.

This is now genuinely the most boring topic of all time.

Today's defections were so exciting because it meant we didn't have to talk about brexit for 20 seconds.

We’re acrually on page 67 HN.

Do you really think that there are "no variations" between leaving the EU whilst staying in the customs union and single market (soft brexit or Norway option), May's proposed deal and a no deal brexit?

Well if you believe that I guess you can believe anything.

Another 3500 jobs.

Confirmed now. With Nissan diverting the X-trail production to Japan it looks like the beginning of the end for the British Automotive industry. 
Underpinning this is the recent EU - Japan trade deal which guarantees no tariffs which we are obviously opting out of alongside the tariffs we'll have to pay to import parts from Europe, the tariffs we'd have to pay to re-export the finished product and the death of JIT manufacturing across all sectors created by border delays.

These factors render it unviable to produce cars in the UK any more so it's looking like automotive will be the first UK sector to die as a result of Brexit although it may take 3 to 5 years.
Currently the UK Automotive sector generates £82 BILLION and employs a MILLION people either directly or indirectly.

Many of the small local shops surrounding the site will also pay a heavy price.

The main problem is that automotive has been highly geared to JIT manufacturing for years which means they are highly dependent on parts that are imported, stored off site and delivered "just in time" to be assembled so more than any other sector, they are based on a huge supply chain - even more than construction. Most of the job losses and business closures will be in transport, warehousing, distribution and import/export who are predominantly SMEs spread around the country. 
The directly employed workforce are only the assemblers and they are a only a small proportion of the indirect workforce and small shops, businesses and families everywhere will be affected.
Swindon is a relatively small operation and will probably only cause 30 thousand job losses but it is the basic economics of manufacturing cars in Britain that has been undermined by Brexit so apart from the small scale specialists (who will have to hike their prices to survive if they can get away with it) the rest will inevitably follow Honda and that means massive unemployment, massive reduction of GDP, massive amounts of unemployment benefits paying paid and the massive knock on effects for the retail economy.

No, there are no variations, my points were all about the results of this whole process. However, there are a great number of topics on the way, with the emphasis swaying from one arena to another. I don't believe anything, as you infer, although I do believe that you are now stuck in a rut, and have become both blinkered and bitter. 
Your life will restart once we have departed the EU.

So why not answer WL's question? What kind of brexit did you hope to get?

Are you really as dumb as you are coming across ?. I'm watching and listening to all the arguments, and have one or two preferences as well as the main points of migration, law, security, etc. 
To keep you happy, I will happily accept all the points currently shown in the exit agreement, minus the backstop. The overriding aim for me, is to leave the EU altogether, regardless, almost, of how we get there.

You apparently want a brexit so hard it looks like a no deal brexit but not everybody who voted leave did or does want that. That is the point that WL was making - many leave voters are not going to get what they thought they were voting for.

As is the case in every election ever.

Lusty still hasn't proffered a solution.

Solution is to stay in the Customs Union and Single Market regardless of whether or not we leave the EU.

Irish border issue, tariffs issue, problems for British businesses gone at a stroke.

Is that clear enough for you?

I think the point went over your head lusty.

I'm talking about people not getting what they voted for. Which happens in every election....ever.

It's true that politicians don't always deliver the manifesto they were elected on. However they always have just the one manifesto which isn't self-contradictory. 
Unlike the Leave campaign.

Said the man who voted for a hard brexit and has ignored the mounting evidence that this will be very bad for the UK. Try taking the blinkers off glos!

Yes and prospective MPs/MPs never say anything contradictory on the campaign trail and on the door step do they.

It's always 100% in line with the manifesto.
