London would become the new Detroit, houses changing hands for $100.

At least the old buffers who voted for Brexit would be able to make their annual trip to the Albert Hall to sing 'Land of Hope and Glory'.

careful - NO chance! infact major global banks are increasing their investments in London not decreasing them!

Maybe Nicola is smarter than we all think.
Talk today of many banks and financial institutions moving to Scotland to get access to the Worlds largest trading block by GDP.(EU).

Thanks leeds.

So the position is, if allowed: Brexit turns into a 10+ year talking shop with no resolution.

And in the meantime all that we are trying to get away from will stay in force.

seems obvious to me WAIT and see what the French election brings in 2017 and if negative towards the EU then that strengthens our EU exit negotiations! obvious really.

Meanwhile RBS announce Q3 on 28th Oct...hmmm more bad news or for once something positivfe????/???

As I suggested last week when the Judicial Review case was opened, it would be a brave Parliament to reject the wishes of the people. But and this is where it gets difficult, the manner and terms of leaving the EU were not part and parcel of the referendum.

The hard-liners say that the will of the people must be followed as quickly as possible irrespective of the terms.

Which is why, of course, they do not want it being subject to Parliamentary scrutiny.

My understanding is: No referendum is binding, but the convention is that the result is followed.

U.K. inflation accelerated to the fastest pace in almost two years in September, part of an upward trend that’s set to continue as the weaker pound pushes up import costs.
Consumer-price growth quickened to 1 percent from 0.6 percent in August, the Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday. That’s above the 0.9 percent rate forecast by economists and is the highest since November 2014. The core rate of inflation also reached a two-year high.

Today's Independent.


Senior Conservative MPs have seized on a forgotten Government promise to let Parliament decide the response to any referendum result – insisting it must hold true for Brexit.

Ministers agreed, exactly six years ago, that referendums “cannot be legally binding” – which meant MPs and peers should decide “whether or not to take action” on the verdict given by voters.

The unequivocal statement flies in the face of Theresa May’s repeated insistence that her Government, not Parliament, will decide how to deliver Britain’s withdrawal from the EU.


The Prime Minister is locked in a court battle for the right to use the ancient royal prerogative – legal authority derived from the Crown – to trigger the Article 50 withdrawal process, ignoring Parliament.

But, in October 2010, David Cameron’s Government stated exactly the opposite in a little-noticed response to an inquiry by a House of Lords committee.

That inquiry concluded that “because of the sovereignty of Parliament, referendums cannot be legally binding in the UK, and are therefore advisory”.

The data may illustrate whether or not the UK plebiscite on globalisation, leading perhaps not unsurprisingly to a rejection of it by plebs, has or will cause the much feared stagflation.

If these hit 150 again in the next few months I will load up.

Hot from the massage parlour.

We will discover the answer at 9.30am when inflation data is posted.

More brexit, or should airlines be looking to Mr Carney?

RyanAir's profit warning arising from weak Sterling, looks like it could impact on EZJ too.

Re: The Trumpo v Clinton presidential beano...could it be they are both stalking horses?

Both running mates would seem a safer pair of hands.

careful..my point is that its INDUSTRY and companies create wealth NOT gov'ts....what do politicians really know? What do they really do? EEC was fine EU is a mess and a disaster to create the United Status of Europe to fight the US...only one winner there!

Most people are enjoying wealth beyond the dreams of previous generations.
One of the causes is good government.
Yet people moan and whinge, seeking something better.
They want to bring someone in to 'fix the mess'.
Most of them are useless and never do any useful work.

Everyone has become soft and spoilt.one day in the future people will look back on these as the good old days of plenty.
