Mmm that list isn't all businesses but the 300+ Business Leaders supporting Brexit here are: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/0 ... -a-brexit/
Back in May 2016, leaving meant staying in the single market, or adopting a Norway+ model, with the easiest deal in history just over the horizon.
After voting for that, Boris pulled the rug from under leave voters by saying they voted for something else entirely.
I don't think you can rely on the businesses in your list still holding the same position.

Yeah, sure, because leaving with vs leaving without an agreement are the exact same thing
Indeed.

Mr Boro Boy - can you offer names of any business leaders or the like who believe that no deal is good thing?
There's a director of a limited company that has lots of inward investment from the US flowing into the coffers who is a big fan of hard Brexit.

His name is Nigel Farage, director of The Brexit Company Ltd.

At least someone is making money out of this mess.

As an aside, I see one of the names attached as Company Secretary to Farage's BP (they dropped the 'N' when they got their new logo) is Mr Mehrtash A'zami.

He made a chunk of money out of holistic medicine, offering baseless 'hope' to silly people who rail against fact-based solutions, often blaming such solutions for their own problems, and prefer to 'believe' in unicorn-based fantasy.

He'll fit right in.

Snake Oil salesman meets a fellow Snake Oil saleman and joins forces. Love this bit of above post: (they dropped the 'N' when they got their new logo) so true but so many who will vote for it do not realise it

PM will seek Brexit extension if no deal agreed by 19 October, govt documents say

https://news.sky.com/story/pm-will-seek ... gTUAHCdCuI
Considering he's consistently told us that we're leaving the EU come October 31st with or without a deal he's now saying something different to the courts.

Which one is he lying to?
It's not his decision now :thumbdown:

You mean "Jo Swinson's husband works for a not-for-profit company that fights corruption around the world, and the EU are one of their funding partners".

Does Farage declare his funding? Who pays for the B (not N) P? All those £24.99's coming from America that he doesn't need to declare. All that untraceable funding from "World4Brexit" etc.

All the leavers are dripping it in. And they're taking it from you.

The first link claiming that 300 businesses support leaving the EU is over 3 years old and its highly likely that the majority if not all will have changed their minds considering the utter ****show the tories have made in trying to negotiate a withdrawal agreement.

The second link starts by saying "The majority of big British business leaders are worried about the potential fallout from a no-deal Brexit." which completely negates your already poorly sourced first link and furthermore the people quoted in the second link offer no actual reasons for why we would be better off outside the EU beyond the usual rubbish of the EU needing us more than we need them, they'll come to us, blah blah blah.

Cannot say much about the third link seeing as its stuck behind a paywall but sufficient it is to say that anyone saying that brexit is nothing to worry about is an idiot by default.

So in summary boring boy, do your own homework properly in future.
The lengthy list was a distraction with entries that were incorrect, just scratching the surface and I found two entries wrong then a CEO who had no worries and was expanding his business and thats rejected by the Remoaners because it doesn't fit there cause... And just because something is 3 years old doesn't make it wrong! So you do your home work - the third link is not a pay wall and I thought you were capable of getting past it but perhaps not...! :wave:

The third link was about McDonalds, another leisure industry player like Wetherspoons that doesn't export anything!
What has that got to do with it? Half the long list weren't even businesses...!!! :crazy:
