My surgeon was not British. In the 1970s I am sure that 50% were British.

Not surprised that the source is unknown.

This was passed on to me via email, source unknown, very pertinent tho.





British seafarer - Chief Engineer. When I started it was with Shell Tankers UK. On my ship all the officers and crew were British. The standard of seafaring was superb.

Within a few years they flagged out and of course British staff and crew evaporated.

Since then I've worked in a variety of roles including working for Aramco doing vessel inspections and on hire surveys. I - and the other 26 in the team all of whom were from traditional seafaring nations trained to a high level and with decades of experience all agreed that shipping standards have dropped like a stone over the last 15 years.

This is because they big shipping companies and investors much of which is London don't care about how well a ship is run.

Which in a long winded way brings me to this debarcle. Why are we hyperventilating about the RN not protecting 'our interests?'

The ship that was taken is owned by a Swedish investment company, operated by a Danish shipping company, and on board there isn't one single British seafarer. That's because the UK has deliberately allowed the companies to use the British merchant flag on ships with no British people on board thus removing the need to pay higher UK wages.

So we have a foreign owned ship, foreign operated, using cheap foreign seafarers with profits going to a foreign company but having the benefit of flying the red duster thus enjoying the expensive protection of UK taxpayer naval protection and government help.

This is the utter travesty of the current situation. The UK is paying huge amounts to protect nothing British.

There are but a handful of us UK seafarers left. In the early 70s the UK held more than 50% of the entire world shipping. Today we have for all intents and purposes nothing left despite being even more reliant on importation of essential goods via shipping that we were in WW2 thanks to the huge population and small land mass.'

"The UK government did not take its "eye off the ball" over the seizure of a UK-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf on Friday, the chancellor told the BBC.

Philip Hammond said the UK has been working closely with US and European partners in response to Iran's actions."

Oh yes you did, oh no I didn't, oh yes you did.

Yippee Chancellor Hammond going to go, before he is sacked when Boris gets in.Buy dollar earning stocks, Shell, IAG, GSK etc, sell sterling domestic earning stocks, BT, Lloyds, etc. That's my strategy.

Varadkar’s backstop gamble could cost Ireland dearly

There’s a growing realisation that no deal could actually happen

Liam Halligan





The government has relished wearing the green jersey on Brexit and standing up to the British with the help of the European Union — and been aware of the political benefits of doing so,’ thundered Pat Leahy in the Irish Times last week. ‘But now the pitfalls begin to emerge from the fog.’

Leo Varadkar gambled on the British government either cancelling Brexit or getting roped in by the backstop to accept Brexit in name only. The Taoiseach lost that gamble — and his strategy now lies in tatters.

Since mid-2017, when Varadkar took office, teaming up with Brussels to take a maximalist, ultra-legalistic approach to the Irish border, his domestic commentariat has overwhelmingly backed him. The opportunity to exploit Theresa May’s reliance on the DUP, with tiny Ireland making life difficult for the mighty Brits, was just too tempting to miss.

There was a cynical belief, in the political saloons of both Dublin and Brussels, that if fears about a return to the Troubles were whipped up enough, the biggest expression of democracy in British history could be thwarted. That, or the Brits might be goaded into staying in the customs union — diverting billions each year to Brussels, as UK consumers and businesses kept paying the EU’s common external tariff on non-EU imports.

But with Boris Johnson heading for Downing Street, there’s a growing realisation that no deal could actually happen — and that it would be terrible for Ireland. Half the Republic’s beef, timber and construction material exports are sold in the UK, and over two-thirds of goods exporters use Britain as a ‘land bridge’ — crossing the Irish Sea, then travelling by road to eastern UK ports, heading for the EU and global markets.

With default EU intransigence, however, and Johnson on a ‘do or die’ mission to take Britain out of the EU on 31 October ‘come what may’, the ‘crash-out’ Brexit which the Irish fear is now on the cards.

‘Reality intrudes on the government’s Brexit game plan,’ read the headline on Pat Leahy’s article last week. Leahy is political editor of the Irish Times — until now, the standard bearer of Irish backstop resolve. Yet Ireland’s most important newspaper now says Varadkar should get off his Brexit high horse.

‘If a concession on the backstop materialises — perhaps a time-limiting protocol; a legal codicil which specifies a review in the absence of agreement; something, anything to give [Johnson] an opportunity to bring the withdrawal agreement back to the House of Commons, there will be intense pressure on the Irish government to accept it,’ wrote Leahy. ‘After all, isn’t the possibility of border checks in a few years’ time better than the certainty of checks on 31 October?’


Eoghan Harris is another veteran commentator of immense significance who is now breaking ranks, pointing out — however unpatriotic it sounds — that in this great stand-off with the Brit oppressors, Ireland may have to upset the EU a little by giving some ground.

‘Like Dr Frankenstein, Varadkar’s backstop has created the Boris Johnson monster who may politically destroy his creator,’ wrote Harris, a few days after Leahy’s seminal piece. ‘But our politicians and media were too busy sneering at the suicidal Brits to notice that it was our beloved backstop that was driving them over the cliffs — and that we were shackled to them.’

I'm sure most have no trouble getting my meaning, even with an incorrect word used. When a very obvious mistake is made, it's very easy to get the meaning. Part of the problem with brexit, global warming, etc these days is that one side is human and suffers human frailties such as an occasional mistake, the other side see themselves as above human imperfections, always correct, never wrong, and never making a mistake. One side is utterly deluded, the other is accepting of realities.

Careful, great, you think we won't leave in oct, so with your track record of being 100% wrong with your brexit views from nowhere, I guess we'll deffo leave then.

Could you fire off an email to gina about parliament stopping brexitt (you have said they can and will), because she's trying to use the courts in order that parliament can stop brexit - something you have said over and over again that they can already. Why is she wasting her time getting the courts to order something pointless? Genuine question for you.


Brexiteer or leaver, my observation is brexiteers are at least factual, whereas very oftem, leavers simply don't know or don't understand the facts and simply spout as fact the way they would like them to be.

Max - you forgot World War III!

As to sterling it would be risky to bank heavily on a fall. It could easily rise sharply on a buy the rumour sort of basis.

diku - true, but then just bank the gains to date from the significant fall.
I still believe that the market does not believe that No Deal will happen so it will be surprised if it does.

You don't have to take my word for it. Just wait and see.

Just one thing, stick around so I can tell you 'I told you so' with a smug smile on my face. :)
