Sold everything except TW and doubled my LLOY holding this last two days so I may well become a long term holder here if the share price continues down.

Data from the petitions website yesterday afternoon suggested more than 960,000 signatures were from people who said they were from the UK, nearly 9,000 from France, nearly 5,000 from Spain and nearly 4,000 from Germany, among others.A petition for a second EU referendum in June 2016 attracted more than four million signatures and was debated in the Commons - but thousands of signatures were removed after it was discovered to have been hijacked by automated bots.

We want our country back!

I remember how it used to be. A bit of cave painting, the wife just wearing a tiny piece of animal skin, and you could walk all the way across the country without having to cross a motorway.

Rogr rail, if you want another referendum to confirm the previous referendum's result, would you want yet another one to confirm the confirmation referendum if it still doesn't go your way?


You can only want another referendum if you believe referenda have no validity. And if you believe that, then what's the point of another one?


Either you believe referenda should be acted on by our MPs, in which case another referendum is not required, or you think there's no need to act on referenda, in which case another one is pointless.


What you really mean is … forget all that logic stuff, what we should do is dismiss referenda results we don't like, and implement referenda results we do like.


That is a very slippery slope - can you see why?

LEAVE and WTO

The EUSSR is Animal Farm in Our Time

[fatnacker] 23/3/2019 10:33

well done bbalanjones except the web site doesn't show evidence of retracted votes.

[grahamite2] 23/3/2019 10:30

If the UK had seriously pursued a no-deal alternative from day one, it is the EU – not Britain – that would have been pushed into a corner. Its leaders are frightened not just of economic dislocation but of Britain being seen to get away with voting to leave, which could stoke the Eurosceptic rebellion on the Continent. The UK is thus in a far stronger position than its political class gives the impression, which is why it would be madness either to give up on Brexit or to push on with the dreadful Withdrawal Agreement. Unfortunately, this Prime Minister remains determined to do the latter.

fatnacker: Just once here. That is all that was needed. There will always be claims of multiple entries but the HoC states that they do have some rigour in elimination of these. They are removed.

See here for vote distribution;_

RogerRail - "If Redwood and all the hard Brexiteers believe that a no deal is what the country not only voted for but actually want even though all the evidence points to the fact it is the most damaging outcome , and if they were truly democratic rather than perpetuating all the lies they freely spread as fact during the referendum, then surely they should be supporting a second peoples vote to reaffirm this is actually the peoples view?"

And you received 4 green ticks for that nonsense!

Firstly, Redwood is not a "hard" Brexiteer, but you are certainly a "hard" Remainer. He is being democratic and you are trying to deny democracy.

Secondly, I absolutely refute the assertion that leaving would be the most damaging outcome. Any major disruption would be initiated by the so-called democracy that you support in Brussels. Our future would in no way be disadvantaged by having better trading relationships with other countries.

The EU, on the other hand, which is heading towards even further integration, is mostly comprised of disparate economies thrown together under a currency that only benefited the already wealthy. That is bound to fail, as it already is - witness the serious economic issues that the S. European states are experiencing.

As for the "lies" that the Leave side are alleged to have spread during the referendum campaign, I presume that you are referring to the £350m/week bus sign, but conveniently ignoring the BoE lies about the immediate adverse impact on our economy and the need for drastic interest rate cuts.

The £350m/week savings were pretty accurate, if more forward looking for some to understand. Certainly, we receive a rebate - but that's our money that we're getting back, ffs. Some projects that Brussels funds in our country with OUR money are worthwhile, but many are worthless. Furthermore, even before the referendum, Brussels were looking to removing our rebate, and, as is the way in Brussels, those payments would increase at the next budget to fund whatever new crazy ideas they have for spending/wasting member states' contributions - no matter how we would protest, and have done on the past.

As for supporting another "Peoples vote" if we were "truly democratic"...Well, excel answered that idiocy. Nothing has changed to warrant a second PV, other than some may have been swayed by the lies that people like yourself put out, countered, no doubt, by the realisation for others as to the true and obvious dictatorial attitude from those in power in Brussels.

My Retirement Fund, that petition is only for residents of Russia, North Korea and Vatican City.

[fatnacker] 23/3/2019 10:00

Can anyone that's not signed the revoke article 50 petition at least three times make themselves known to this board please.

[alphorn] 23/3/2019 09:48

grahamite - oh really. He might start with the referendum 4 or 5 years ago on immigration. It was not implemented by the government despite the result. (It may come back again but the sponsoring party losing ground).

He could then follow with the more recent referendum on replacing the fighter jets. Rejected but the referendum coming back with a different wording.

Try and be more discerning with your reading of the media.

This may help to account for the fact that you no longer give any market related opinions. Poor judgement.

In case you haven't yet signed it:https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

[bargainbob] 23/3/2019 09:41

I find the whole k38 comments as worrying . Though without knowing why he had to move to the UK it hard to judge.

Just surprised at the intolerance though.

A lot of immigrants will be deported after Brexit , some who think they would have right to stay. Be careful what you wish for K38.

I have a friend who wife is going through hell at the moment due to immigration changes.

Charles Moore in today's Telegraph:

On Thursday, I was interviewed by a mainstream Swiss newspaper. Switzerland, of course, is not a member of the EU.

The reporter’s first question went something like this: “My country is a democratic country. We always enact the result of our referendums. We greatly admire your country, especially your House of Commons. Please can you explain why it is refusing to enact what the people decided? Your MPs who do this seem to us to be enemies of the people.”

I try to avoid that phrase “enemies of the people”, because it has the ring of Communist denunciations of anyone who opposes them, but what other words fit?

[alphorn] 23/3/2019 09:29

"You can't mix cultures today"

That has not been your experience k38 in your adopted country so why an issue for others?
(btw not meant to be a flippant question).

[excell1] 23/3/2019 08:54

How many votes do you want? How many so called people votes before you get the result that you want.Best of three,best of five?

[rogerrail] 23/3/2019 08:51

If Redwood and all the hard Brexiteers believe that a no deal is what the country not only voted for but actually want even though all the evidence points to the fact it is the most damaging outcome , and if they were truly democratic rather than perpetuating all the lies they freely spread as fact during the referendum, then surely they should be supporting a second peoples vote to reaffirm this is actually the peoples view?

[patientcapital] 23/3/2019 08:49

Conservatives to break with convention by fielding a candidate against the Speaker next time round. I don't imagine this will come as a surprise.
