Out and a deal...as predicted.

And thats that... the future is now ours to make... .. suits me just fine. 

You mean all those little chocolate medals given out to the heroic generals engaged in this terrible  war have been for nothing ? Say it aint true..

A solution to the independence issue - Scotland takes over running the UK? 

 

Nicola Sturgeon now more popular in England than Boris Johnson

 

IT is well known that Nicola Sturgeon is more liked than Boris Johnson in Scotland – but now the SNP leader has overtaken the Prime Minister in the popularity stakes south of the Border as well.

Ahh the lost and delusional  dreams of Scotland running the UK.  Meanwhile England actually does and will continue to do just that. 

I can assure you south of the border the SNP are about as popular as the lib dems... its just another silly fantasy delusion Scots seem to entertain because emotions. These inflated egos seem to manifest more once they actually leave Scotland... rose specs i guess.  

Do you not get tired whining and harping on about the same thing topic after topic ? 

Wheres that dead horse icon gone ? 

Sky still about to fall in for the usual lot I see, Keep up with the whining and bleating, not long to go now, just 65 days or so... 

Well Barmier is staying in London for a few more days so a few more headlines this week then itll trip over into the following week, around first week in November. Personally I think Boris and everyone else in Europe are awaiting the US election results. It is neither a coincidence or insignificant that negotiations were/are concluding around the same time as the US POTUS election. It should and will have an impact on stance by both the UK and EU if negotiations are still incomplete. 

A faster and free trade deal is more likely between the UK and the US if Trump wins than with Biden who has made it clear he is EU bias ....A Trump win would support a more inflexible stance by Boris in favour of US trade value and a Biden win the reverse and flavors the EU.

The Anglophere isnt done just quite yet methinks. 

All fascinating stuff.

Tax evasion, money laundering for the Russians, possibly treason, judging by the way he sucked up to Putin in Helsinki.

You are merely fantasising, in your head youd wish it to be the case but...lets be realistic, this is the most investigated guy on earth,  investigations one after another and whats the findings ? nothing... zip nada or worse false claims, made up documents and lying witnesses or sources everywhere, some in jail already. Remember creepy porn lawyer ? .... every media has been digging for something, political opponents and global players all these have had 4 years or more to dig up any skeletons, let alone your dreams of his actions.Talking to another major foreign leader when one is the job,  if they are laughing together it means absolutely nothing... its what statesmen do. If  you decide you dont like it thats just you being emotional. 

Where is any evidence ? does anyone think for a moment if it was there we wouldnt all know  ? the MSM wouldnt have stopped running the stories with the evidence... or  it would be used for electoral purpose and ammunition no ?  Truth is if there was anything that damning or truly criminal it would have been used already... Either Trump is as clean as he claims or ALL his opponents are too dumb, incompetent  or just plain wrong..or ... Is Trump just a smarter tactical business, judicial and political genius than all those who oppose him , which is it ? 

Tick Tok, times running out.

Trump will win comfortably,  possibly historically. Huge numbers I suspect wont even tell anyone they are voting 
Trump, they will just do it, Black community and Latino increased vote for Trump will surprise everyone .... We shall see soon enough. 

Still two weeks to go, Can Biden survive his sons vices ? can Trump survive the media ? ... can they both survive covid ? stay tuned .....

Because Thais care so much about their animals right ? ... give me a break...

London dosn't need subsidy, it just needs to use more of the 30% of the UKs taxes the city generates  for the capitals use....part of the problem is the city of London has its own Mayor, its own rules and gets away with so much the rest of the country cant and dosnt, all for the benefit of the square mile business residents ... Westminster for example has the countries LOWEST council tax.. 

Breaking up and smashing the monopoly Google plus other tech behemoths have enjoyed and abused is well overdue.

I agree its a bureaucratic protection racket but please don't think it's failing, it's not

 

And you really should look up what the EU has done for us. Its a lot! From harmonised quality controls on food to reduction of roaming phone charges.

 

Dosnt matter, the argument is done, the vote is over and we are leaving, there will be a deal of course but not necessarily before next year...

My daughters in B&M at one of the worlds biggest retailers too, says quite the opposite, lines are decreasing in options yes but so are prices and in her industry prices wont increase overly in the short term, they are expecting and experiencing the reverse of that and experiencing price drops but its not Brexit driven, more global demand and automation driven along with new eco targets and muh climate issues, a drop in prices for the short to medium term is actually priced in, on top of being kicked in the teeth by this plague consumers disposable income are expected to be down for a good few years too...it probably depends on the industry though too.

Which means a fall in the Pound will be even worst.

 

Do you ackowledge that the vote caused a 20% fall in the value of the pound? If you are denial by this FACT then there is no hope to even have a conversation.

 

Then all major forecasters are saying the Pound will collapse another 20% (minimum) - even a forced collapase to keep exports competative. 

 

And you are okay with this ? 

kindly link all your major forecasters. A no deal is mostly already priced in and has been since we triggered article 50 from all my reading. The covid stimulus madness imo is likely to have more an impact on the £ than having no deal for a few months after Jan 1 2021... 

Joe public might think otherwise given the news cycle as deadlines loom but talks will automatically resume from next year anyway in the event of the UK leaving initially with no deal. A no deal isnt forever, only at the point the UK leaves without one..No one is talking about that yet but new talks will kick in the moment we are gone I assure you, This has always been known in the city at least. 

 There will of course be a deal in time of some sort regardless of all the posturing, it should be obvious given both sides want one that one will happen sooner or later,  this is accepted in the city and most serious business circles, if anyone thinks otherwise they arnt being realistic or paying attention.

That the UK decouples from as much influence from the EU as possible is the current aim and game in play. Once this chapter is over no matter how it plays out, a new one will begin. 

Remember its just politics and business, the great game of moves and counter moves will continue on as it always has.

World economies and personal freedoms are all going to hell in a handbasket atm and that is far more a problem for the little people imo.

Good to see justice prevail. Caving in to mob rule and demands would have caused more harm long term. I hope people do not use this as another excuse to go on a riot, loot and burn spree again.

Sure they will.
