peterms Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Davis' comments to the parliamentary committee this morning were quite staggering. Perhaps they give some kind of insight into his mind. I imagine it to be similar to the surface of Mars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2017 Ha. Hahaha. Davis and his department have basically misled Parliament for months, and he's now been caught in spectacular fashion. We've done no actual analysis of the impact of leaving our biggest market by miles behind. I mean it's obvious the answer is almost universally 'bad', but you'd think they'd actually analyse it. But no! David Davis doesn't like doing that kind of analysis, so we didn't. Astounding. About as stupid as Brexit gets. Davis will be alright though, what with those friends at Tate and Lyle who don't like the EU much at all... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It is just remarkable how people like Davis or Trump get themselves to such positions of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 At worst this should see him in contempt of Parliament and sacked. At best, I'd like to think some sort of criminal charge might be in order. Wishful thinking, obvs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) “I am not a fan of economic models because they have all proven wrong when you have a paradigm change” In other words "why bother researching anything if you don't know the result already". Although at least this shows he was telling the truth about one thing. The whole "if we show them what we know it's giving away our hand" nonsense is actually proven correct. Saying "we don't actually know anything" would prove to Barnier et al that everyone involved on the British side to be a bunch of incapable, bluffing chancers. Although he probably guessed that pretty quickly. Edited December 6, 2017 by ml1dch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She manages to blag her way through it with the support of the parping and guffawing arse-lickers sitting behind her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 This is the same government that does not have the bandwidth to do anything about their commitments on social mobility so much so that the entire team working on it quit. If they are not working on Brexit what the hell are they doing with their time? I get the feeling that this is all a bit too much for them and that they are frozen into inaction with fear. They can't keep saying that things are fine whilst demonstrating that they are obviously not. If we truly do get the politicians we deserve then we have been really awful.
