PO: In a cost cutting phase of 'Austerity' the ship was left short on Nav-Aids so the course remains in some doubt.

I have already ordered the Champaign!

It'll retrace due to profit taking, but in the next couple of weeks I would expect to achieve around the 70p mark...hope so anyway. It was quite a night, watched it all live on Sky. Now going to enjoy a bottle or two.

So, the newly commissioned Frigate HMS Brexit, is set on course for "Get it Done" on the Sea of One Nation Toryland. Her Sea Trials did not go well but she finally managed a reprieve with a newly rostered Crew. This Sea is now so dangerous with the hazards of an already lost Scotland and Wales to navigate, now augmented with a major Northern Ireland shift toward a Nationalist majority.

Even a fully crewed Frigate is only normally part of the escort screen for major naval assets these days. Some old salts forecast she is doomed to the role of HMS Ghost of Christmas Past, as she sails towards Stormy Daniels waters. Some of her crew have already struck the alternative name of 'HMS Little Britain'.

ps. nice to get a 21k uplift in my LBG holdings!

Freddy, just because it appears on the surface that Minny is completely wrong about everything doesn't mean he doesn't make a killing everyone he invests his pocket money. And if he did lose, he'd simply set up another ftse100 company from scratch and would soon have his 72 Robin taxed and on the road again.

Fair play to the millennials too. Not taken in by the labour and BBC hogwash.

Well done the voters

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: DECEMBER 13, 2019

The deliberate log jam created by the last Parliament was preventing good government, undermining us abroad and seeking to subvert the results of the EU referendum. We had to ask the voters to make a decision.

They have done so in a clear way. There was a big choice to make. Did they want a Corbyn led government with massive promises to increase spending, borrowing and taxes, or did they want a moderate reflation of the economy with some spending increases for important services and some tax cuts? Did they trust Labour or the Conservatives with the security and future of our country. They gave a convincing answer last night.

There was also the question of how many voters did wish to go back on the referendum to leave the EU. Prime Minister in waiting Jo Swinson offered the country the choice to revoke our application to leave by a simple repeal vote in Parliament. It was a bold and radical proposal. Just 11% backed it, and her own voters instead asked her to leave Parliament. I hope those who keep telling us people want to remain will reflect on this result.

Labour says they lost because the failed to back Brexit, having done so in 2017 when they got a better result. Doubtless there was some of that in the poor results they achieved, but there was also the prior questions about economic management and direction and style of leadership which dominated in many discussions.

Now this new Conservative majority government has two immediate tasks. It does need as the PM says to “get Brexit done”, which means taking back control of our money, borders and laws, and means negotiating that Free Trade Agreement the EU has promised in principle. It also means an early budget, as we are in urgent need of a stimulus, at a time of world slowdown and worldwide manufacturing recession.

[poikka] 13/12/2019 08:48

Quite so, Pierre, it has given me faith that the Great British Public still values democracy.

[cheshire pete] 13/12/2019 08:48

Yes mm2, and all those EU flags have gone from outside the H of P....shame lol.

Major, Blair, Adonis....where are you now?

[poikka] 13/12/2019 08:46

Did anyone else watch LK trashing Boris last night? Boy, she didn't pull her punches in her personal opinion of him. And there was I thinking that correspondents and reporters had to be impartial. Silly boy.

[pierre oreilly] 13/12/2019 08:42

Poik, as absurd as that is, it isn't as absurd as Swinson supposedly expecting to become PM by standing on a ' Don't implement a public vote' strategy.As Swinson's personal vote illustrated quit well.

[pierre oreilly] 13/12/2019 08:37

Let's see how the EU 'we shall never change our deal' mantra survives now we have regained the bargaining power our traitor MPs gave away last time we tried negotiating. The obnoxious expense fiddling pixie Cooper will have a more difficult job trashing the UK bargaining position this time around.
