I remember the '71 census when up in Burslem, the whole staff of 12,ticked the professional box, and added PUM as a suffix to their name. (Pottery union member) LOL!

Boris thinking about abolishing the licence fee. Excellent.

But you have to wonder why he said it before the result was in. You'd expect the BBC now to ratchet up the anti-Conservative messages - does Boris think they can't get any worse than they already are?

you are very right about polls and I know for a fact that groups..especially straw poll groups on the telly...love to wind up the pollsters.

Of course the silent majority never get asked.

If I was King polls would be illegal

Farage "privatisation for BBC ".. about time !

Calm down boys.. it's over for the opposition, they have to wait another 5 years I am afraid. Media all over Boris, "can we trust you.." Boris to media "people trust me, I don't care about you if you trust me or not"

Respondents who complete Poll surveys, always lie! If your post code does not match your voting habits.....Watch-out!

Never been asked to take part in an election poll in my life. Convinced pollsters filter so they get the answer they want. Wouldn't be difficult, standing in the High St. Easy to tell between Tories and Labourites most of the time so ignore the ones you don't like the look of.

Phone polls similarly. If you live on a 'lane' chances are you live in the country and would vote Tory. If you live on a 'street' or a 'road' with numbers approaching 4 figures or a 60's tower block more likely to vote labour. Not an exact science I know but not rocket science either.

Phone nos. Just going off dialling codes for main cities London, Manchester, Liverpool would give more chance of labour votes.

Irony is that attempts to influence results of elections with biased polls likely to be counter productive.

"Fire sale of companies and assets"

You mean there's still stuff left to sell ??

[gotnorolex] 09/12/2019 13:56

Next week this time, we'll be implementing ambitious business ideas which were 3.1/2 years in waiting! Hey World here we come!

'Huge investment to be had in post-Brexit UK'.

Yep:
- Fire sale of companies and assets.
- Influx of cash for a laundromat service.

gnr: Sadly a bit behind the times!!!

"The telephone poll of 1,012 respondents was conducted between Dec. 5 and Dec. 7. Respondents were read out the names of the parties and candidates that are standing in their own constituency. "

The pole was conducted by "Friends of The Deaf" lol.

ps. NB. These shares will prosper under both regimes - probably slightly better under any Brexit,

[bbalanjones] 09/12/2019 13:44

Sadly, Brexit is just a lame-brained idea from the Victorian playbook.

[mikegsi2] 09/12/2019 13:38

Far better to leave and negotiate our own trade with full control. UK OEMs may stifle initial investment but they will encourage Tier 1’s to sequence within UK to avoid interim logistic issues. Huge investment to be had in post-Brexit UK. Fashionable socialism will soon concede to fiscal responsibility.

Alp:

Goldman plans to bring wealth management to the masses. Investment bank to launch robo adviser for clients with as little as $5,000 to invest.

With a "free McDonalds" for inducement?

[alphorn] 09/12/2019 13:29

Goldman plans to bring wealth management to the masses. Investment bank to launch robo adviser for clients with as little as $5,000 to invest.

Something to aspire to for some.

ROFLMAO


(Actually a smart move).

A statement on behalf of Confused.com . . .

Putting Boris Johnson's plan for Brexit into action will be a "major" challenge for government due to new customs arrangements for Northern Ireland, according to a leaked document.

The PM has said the UK will fully exit the EU by December 2020 if he wins the election and MPs approve his plan.

But the document says government will struggle to deliver the infrastructure and staffing needed by that deadline.

The PM did not directly comment on the report when asked.

But Mr Johnson instead said his plan was a "great deal" for both Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, and would "give the country real momentum"

Deal on NO Deal: Lies or Truth?????

ps You know Momentum is a Labour Organisation - you dummy!! LOL.

The "News" on this thread of a German economic collapse doth seem a tad premature.

"Germany's exports rose unexpectedly in October, with demand outside the EU providing a boost.

The country has flirted with recession in recent quarters.

Exports grew by 1.2%, data showed on Monday.

Sales to European Union nations were up 0.1% compared with a year ago, but the value of German goods sold to non-European countries rose by 4.6%"
