The population voted because they felt powerless in the E.U.?Scotland and N. Ireland feel the same way about the U.K.What's good for the goose....Perhaps in a couple of years it will just be England and Wales....or ultimately just God's Country (a.k.a Yorksire) Lol

Ken, maybe or he's licking his wounds?

[kenbachelor] 24/6/2016 17:43

Still no Portside. I told you weeks ago in spite of all his claims he was short.

Thousands Of British Refugees Make Dangerous Journey Across The Irish Sea


THE IRISH coast guard has today issued a nationwide warning for the East Coast as hundreds of thousands of British refugees risk their lives to cross the Irish sea in an attempt to flee the impoverished and unstable nation.

Dinghies overflowing with desperate migrants are so far half way through their journey, many with women and children aboard, wishing to make a new start on the Emerald Isle.

“We have rescued hundreds of people from crafts due to overcrowding,” winchman Derek Ryan of Rescue 117 told WWN today. “It’s a terrible situation as many of these people are only hoping for a better quality of life in the EU”.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has called an emergency meeting in the Dáil this afternoon to help find a solution to the influx of British refugees.

It is expected many of those landing on the Irish coast will have to be quarantined, as they are not a part of the European Union.

“Emergency prefabs will be erected to help cope and house these poor unfortunate people,” Mr. Kenny stated. “I urge everyone to do what they can to help support the migrants in anyway, whether that be waiting with hots cups of tea on the shoreline, to giving them fresh clothes to wear”.

An estimated 450,000 people have already fled the UK mainland to neighbouring EU countries.

....it has not been competing in the past?

[pal44] 24/6/2016 16:26

in the Long run the pound will compete with the Euro and that will be good .

[christh] 24/6/2016 16:25

the wrongs with the country is down to austerity measures of the tory government.
The tories do not spend enough on NHS and always underfunded that's why nurses been recruited from 3rd World countries or Europe.Nurses are paid peanuts that's why we have shortage of nurses.
How many hospitals closed down?
There are NHS fat cats who don't contribute much compared to their salaries.

When Labour get in power try to make the shortfall and end up having overspent and in the red.

Constant fighting of the NHS to keep the nation's health intact with limited resources.
If there is mismanagement of funds then is either government or local authority
rules not the EU.

As far as the road repairs again is how much the highways dep. or the local authority have in the budget to spend.
It's a false economy patching up road surfaces instead of done properly
but is always the budget.

It really is a shame David Cameron had to resign over the EU vote...I actually liked him as our PM ...

[christh] 24/6/2016 15:34

Ν. Farage can not keep his promise on NHS.

Hospitals will shut, gp surgeries closing, operations longer queues...

"Another mess you got me in"

[pennstreet] 24/6/2016 15:33

How much further is this likely to drop ?

[nick rubens] 24/6/2016 14:16

Corporate listed PLC's share price valuations depend on profitibility and with excecutive bonuses and salaries incredibly excessive and maybe even staff levels too, I have little confiodence to invest but instead punt on short term trading with fingers crossed.

I don't how this exhubberrance evolved in the last two decades in corporate greed and in the public sector also.

Dr Biotech
maybe invest in Europe?
LOL

[dr biotech] 24/6/2016 13:35

Well the country has made its choice, have to respect that, which is more than farage did last night when he thought he had lost.

My prediction is that Johnson will become PM, we will go into recession, he won't be able to deliver on any of his BS promises and we will have a labour govt in less than two years. Not a great time to invest over the next 5 years.

[runwaypaul] 24/6/2016 13:23

will be if a Black Monday arrives!

[cmillar] 24/6/2016 13:12

I reiterate:

Weekly and 3 Monthly moves

FTSE closed last week at 6021 and its now......6065
£V$ was at 1.42 on June 16th now at 1.37

FTSE closed Mar 24th at 6090 and its now......6065
£V$ was at 1.411 on Mar 24th now at 1.37

Hardly earth shattering moves.

[christh] 24/6/2016 12:39

key impacts of the dramatic night and morning we have had in the UK:

.The FTSE-100 has opened down 480 points (7.57%) at 5,850;
.The pound has weakened to its lowest level since 1985 (when Margret Thatcher was Prime Minister) – a steeper fall than after Black Wednesday in 1992 when the UK exited the ERM. Some of the moves in currencies against Sterling today:
Euro -5.23% to €1.236
US dollar -7.61% to $1.368
Japanese Yen -10.48% to ¥140.2

Despite already having a very loose monetary policy, it is likely that the Bank of England (BoE) will loosen further to support the economy through this shock

– potentially via restarting its quantitative easing (QE) programme;
-David Cameron will leave office within the next 3 months;
-It is likely that the UK will lose its AAA credit rating at S&P.

However, this is not a time to be selling first and asking questions later.

This is from a newsletter received, not my own, but food for thought.

You are wrong.
I have pride for UK, that's why I chose to vote REMAIN and very passionate to stay in Europe.
We should be there as a prominent country in Europe, making decisions about Europe,the environment, the future of people in Europe,jobs for the people of Europe, peace in Europe, trade with Europe and using Europe to trade with the rest of the world collectively and separately.
Also most important security fighting together against terrorism,crime,money laundering and any other illegal act or threat.

Cameron and Osbourne have taken over a country nearly bankrupt with the credit
crunch in 2008/9 and lead them out of the recession,Do you remember it?
They have shown leadership in improving finances and prospects of UK in Europe
and the world.

Cameron fought for the UK in Europe to achieve many opt outs of non beneficial
to UK European laws and rules.

Unfortunately time will tell how bad a decision was made and want to rejoin but
at what cost?
