Brexit seems to be of little importance in these times.
This winter will be so grim whatever happens, this economy looks as though it will tank.

Remainers or Brexiteers.
Roundheads or Cavaliers.
Mods or Rockers.

Such outdated nonsense.
We have bigger problems to think about.

Yanks doing their upmost to drag a good day down.

How many times do the Yanks put a cloud on UK stock, with the Dow opening lower only to go sky high when London closes?

This pattern has persisted for a long time now and I long for some dramatic retributive action, ie, seeing the Dow tank and the FTSE double

"Do your duty Remoaners!"

UK to host first human challenge studies for COVID-19 vaccines

The Financial Times reports that the UK will host the world's first human COVID-19 challenge trials, in which healthy volunteers are deliberately infected with coronavirus, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of experimental vaccines.


"After all, you Remoaners are always claiming you're better than us, richer than us, healthier than us,smarter than us!"

the Oakshot girl quoted an interesting fact on Sky last night;

Number of deaths to date for people under 60 with no underlying health problems?
Answer 307.

Think abut that.

1carus - the pandemic is not an easy subject. The consequences of the pandemic will be around for a long time. I would not like to be a decision maker on that subject either. We need to take care.

Ah my mistake fatnacker....he was only in a bad way in intensive care and it was 50/50 he was going on a ventilator.

Alp, cant disagree with you. But re coivid, the scale of error is pretty much the same throughout Europe. No difference in the order of magnitude. Given the rise in the community, judgement is more meaningful on how the uk deals with it now having had time and data to assess, things are not as unknown as at the start of it. Easy for any of us to be armchair judges... not a gig that I would like to be in charge of.

1carus - "division" has been the issue for the last 4 years.

Around half the country believes the other half are idiots and vice versa. A recipe for disaster from the outset.

Why a cross party team was not assembled just shows how both parties were thinking of themselves rather than what was best for the country. It will be a bed to lie on for a long time.

"I have just been notified the interest rate will fall to 0.01% by late November."

I bet you are masturbating yourself silly over the prospect of that, aren't you!

LOL!

Just had an E Mail from national savings.

I safely park my cash in income bonds paying 1.16% gross.
I have just been notified the interest rate will fall to 0.01% by late November.

Zero interest rates, and probably debt driven deflation are on us.
A new World for we investors.

A 2% annual investment return is about to look impressive.

Johnson says UK considering ‘massive’; package to help jobs and growth.


The lunatic has got control of the purse strings!


Tory lovers would have already had multiple heart attacks had Corbyn spent only a fraction of what is being spent - and wasted - here.

I think Min you will find that the sentiment of the country was behind her re the Argentine war, rightly or wrongly. Mind you I suspect it was all legal unlike other wars I could mention. The tories did not get everything right, but at least they never went cap in hand to the imf as a bankrupt nation. I could be wrong, but fisacally the left do seem to leave country challenged when it comes to money whenever they exit power. Are the Tories as compassionate? No, so there are good and bad points to both beliefs, and for most people it is choosing the lesser of two evils as opposed to being left or right wing. The thing you have to accept is that Labour under Corbyn was totally un-electable, it didn't even give the heartland of labour a choice. Starmer has shown nothing, on Andrew Marr he had nothing. I am not saying Boris has, but he holds the reigns and unless Labour can get itself together Boris isn't going anywhere unless he decides to give it up. We have a Tory government by default, we are heading for Brexit one way or another, we have COVID, why continue to find division where with the challanges ahead we all need to help each other rather bicker over the past which we have no control of. ( Ok, some of the banter on here is funny though!)

Aaaah fukinel bobster I'm crying here. I've read it in a borders accent, a Glasgow accent and even an orkneys accent and I still cant get it to rhyme! Excellent!

What he thinks will happen & what he would like to happen are two totally different things. I hope your more successful looking for incorrect apostrophe's Alphorn. Chin up it's odd socks day, day after tomorrow.

EU must pay UK for each migrant that UK receives!.....Level playing field?
