Yesterday the Govt pushed through a tax hike from 5% to 20% VAT on solar panels to comply with EU law.

I did not support them. What is it about Mrs May’s Govt that they are so wedded to the EU? We're leaving. We don't need to set our taxes in the ways they demand anymore.


"Utter idiocy of May's government continues..."

Youth agrees with me. They see you for what you are.

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 11:18

Say what you like exlogicalad, you're a funny little irrelevant man. ;)

Your generation will not be missed. The most selfish, self-centred and privileged generation in UK history.

Wow..
More good news for your favorite bank's share price .

A drop in the ocean?

UK financial services companies have racked up a Brexit bill of close to £4bn as they prepare to shift people and capital to the EU, according to EY, the consultancy.

Some of Britain’s biggest financial services groups have disclosed £1.3bn in relocation costs, legal advice and contingency provisions since Britain voted to leave the EU three years ago, plus an extra £2.6bn in capital injections as they set up non-UK headquarters.

Banks have put aside extra cash to cope with a possible rise in defaults after Brexit amid concerns about the UK’s economic outlook in the wake of a disorderly exit.

Banks also face extra costs to shift offices, people and technology.

“So far, only a small proportion of the largest, listed firms have put a number on potential costs, which means this number is likely to be a drop in the ocean.”

At present, many financial institutions have put their plans to relocate jobs and assets to mainland Europe on pause, due to the uncertainty about Brexit, which has twice been delayed since the originally scheduled date of March 29.

jacko - two very unpleasant posts do not make a good one.

I suggest that ALL the vitriolic posters rein in their emotions and focus for a few weeks what is happening in a very volatile market.

There are rarely opportunities such as the past few months and likely in the immediate future to do so well. If the word 'profit' gives a problem any gains can be donated to charity.

Minerve, do you wish CM's wife a speedy recovery??

[jacko07] 26/6/2019 10:57

793..CM, sorry to hear your wife has been ill. My best wishes go out to you and your wife for a speedy recovery

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 10:54

Say goodbye to it Shy because you have sewn the seeds of its demise.

Well done.

CM44 793, I hope your wife recovers fully and goes on for a good many more years.

I've just recently had an umbilical hernia fixed by the nhs. I was in an out in 6 hours after a general. I met with 19 nhs staff altogether, each one of them exceptional and caring, from the initial receptionist to the consultant who operated (a lady from Iraq or similar) to the anaesthetist (a 25ish irish beauty who I spoke to at length) to the nurses who took blood, brought me gowns etc, to the helper who brougth me tea and sandwiches afterwards. The total service could not have been bettered by any private hospital. What would have been better I expect going private were the patients - the behaviour of a small few was terrible, totally unappreciative and very quick to complain when she could only have one sandwich when she demanded (and eventually got) two (the nurse explained that only one sandwich was made for each day patient so there weren't any spares, so presumably the last patient had to do without).

I don't know whether i'm just lucky, but the 3 or 4 times i'v needed the nhs in my life they've always been fantastic.

Why should I need to harm people? Never touch anyone. It seems to me that the old farts and society are professionals at harming themselves - they don't need my help. ;)

I discuss this with my dad and he agrees his generation are the dregs of society.

Time is my weapon.

Filter me. Great. What do I care?

Remember you can't call for a priest when your death rattle arrives, you are an atheist!

Bye bye old fart!

Vote Tory - Get Farage

Sounds good to me!

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 10:45

Vote Tory - Get Farage by proxy (some democracy)
Vote Boris - get Corbyn months later.

You heard it here first from the oracle Minerve.

Never mind, he will be well looked after as mental illness is becoming a priority.

"Cheers Min, you're response tells me all I need to know."

Yes, the fact that you know FA about what you talk about. ;)

I don't know if it has occurred to you that Brexit Party voters and Tories have a greater common electorate than Brexit Party and Labour.

It may not have also occurred to you that No Deal Brexiters are in the minority.

Distribution is the key factor, not absolute numbers, and the greater overlap need not be any problem. The remain/left vote is massively concentrated in Scotland and London so can safely be ignored, while the leave vote is highly diffused and thus highly effective.

And no, it has not occurred to me that no deal Brexiters are in the minority because they are not. There is an ever increasing majority who just want to get out and don't care exactly how it's done.

[maxk] 26/6/2019 10:09

Cheers Min, you're response tells me all I need to know.

[maxk] 26/6/2019 09:36

Min, unlike you, I have a little inside info on the NHS.

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 09:34

grahamite would have you paying for your own care.
