[leedskier] 19/10/2016 10:59

..."hit".... with what?

[cfc1] 19/10/2016 10:43

anyway back to RBS...god knows what to expect on the 28th Oct. Still no settlement for Deutsche Bank...need that to gauge likely fine for RBS..

This is one area we could do with uk gov warning the US DoJ about excessive fines.....about time we hit back!

careful

the historians are already writing it up as not so much a protest vote against johnny foreigners, but a protest vote that the everlasting prosperity promised by Gordon Brown, has not materialised.

The simple truth is that without financial services Britain is a third rate economic power.

A nation of shopkeepers.

leeds.

How difficult is it to scare politicians who have never earned a productive crust?

Not very by the looks of it.


If politics were not involved, brexit would involve little more than changing the paperwork. Companies rarely go to war when things don't go their way, they find solutions.

Now we are asked to believe some nation states will self harm to prevent another nation state exercising self will.

Logic says that will not happen. A solution will be found.

I still cannot believe the Brexiters pulled it off.

even looking at contributions.

UK paid out to EU £13bn.
Less returned £4.5bn
Net contributions £8.5bn

That is £8.5bn out of £762bn total government spending.

there are other issues, but many voters seemed angry about this money, which is just over 1% of total spending.Insignificant.

Goldman Sachs were getting excited this week about the prospect of the amount of financial business that could be transferred from London to the USA.

These financial centres in USA, Frankfort and Paris are dying for us to trigger article 50.
Vultures picking over the carcass of the Worlds largest financial centre (London) for more than 100 years.

No wonder Theresa May is slowing up, the evidence is mounting.
The worst case scenario is too awful to contemplate.

For those those who recall that we once used a piece of kit called a computer, before being driven near to extinction by mobile devices, next week Apple is to launch a new series of laptops to replace its Macbook Pro series -- its first innovation in this neglected segment since 2012.

Perhaps solid state drives and read only memory have at last reached that state of refinement where 'computers' will offer the same degree of flexibility and power to weight ratio as mobile devices. I remain to be convinced.

Morning leeds.

Bit light on brexit horror stories this morning.

China growth 6.7%

Bloomberg comments

China’s economic growth remained stable in the third quarter, all but ensuring the government’s full-year growth target and opening a window for policy makers to deliver on vows to rein in excessive credit and surging property prices.

Not sure about being ruled by the French -- though the long lunches would be welcome, as for the German, at least they would get everyone working more efficiently.

The gainers from leaving the EU have had the loudest voices of late. Press Barons who can lead the people by the nose wherever their mendacious whims take them, publicans who will fill their watering holes because Brits can no longer afford foreign holidays, not to mention providers of soup kitchens. What a self-made disaster our brilliant populace have wished upon us in the belief that we still rule the waves and are answerable to no one. Fat lot of good it will do those at the bottom of the food chain to see a free trade agreement with the most populous, and one of the poorest, nations on earth, China. You couldn't make it up - not unless you understood the motives of those who succeeded so easily in passing responsibility for our lousy governance from themselves onto the EU.
