I hope all of this positiveness in the market is not short lived. But it certainly shows how the shadow of the loony left has been more detrimental than Brexit. It will be interesting to see if sentiment holds. The one thing that the UK may well become is a lot more nimble, the EU may end up being ham-stringed by itself and the money seeing the UK as a better proposition. It's a big gamble as once it starts to go one way or another it will be self fulfilling. Happy for the uk to be going alone for the time being.

Freddie, you make an interesting point. In any of my conversations with Germans about Brexit, they cannot get their minds around voting for something whos destination is unclear. To which I ask them what they expect the destination of the EU to be - a question they, similarly, are unsure how to answer.

But it’s not equal and opposite, for they also have issues with their membership of the EU. And when I point out that they have done nothing concrete to address them, and that it took the Brits to initiate some form of mini-revolution AND NOT BE THREATENED INTO A RERUN OF THE VOTE, they cannot conceive how I could think in this way.

But that’s why I voted out - no effective long term checks and balances. The national governments appear increasingly subservient to the barely-elected Brussels elite. It’s a great job if you can get it, so unsurprising the bureaucracy perpetually moves to reinforce itself.

By the way, the City (finance industry) elite are far worse than the Germans (who were perfectly decent, just so process-focused). Not even close.

Alphorn you keep posting that you want forensic detail from us leavers but we're not like remainers shouting doom and gloom 24 hours a day. Still waiting for the massive job losses and firms moving to the EU.

We believe over time we'll be more prosperous by coming out.Boris has a majority now so won't be so easily walked over from now on.

Without being privy to all that's going within the Government I think it would be foolish to start making wild claims.

I respect your opinion even if I don't agree with it.

Will there be a Santa rally as well as Boris Bounce? Or is that being too greedy?

Out of the goodness of my heart I offer some helpful pointers for the socialists. Here are some things the public will by and large never vote for:

being treated with undisguised contempt
ditto hatred
persecution of an unoffending minority
defiance of the clearly-expressed democratic will
an extreme left programme

When we voted to leave Euroland back in June 2016, the ftse dropped like a stone and Lloyds along with it down to around 48p; we still have the uncertainty of Brexit and what it entails and yet we're worth 66p. What a fickle market, or are the MM's really that powerful and just play us.

Turned out nice again. As expected.

The war is over. Make friends and don’t be beastly to the remainers"
"Oh no, you anti democratic fokkers dont get off that easily"





My suspicion is that Boris has hundreds of people who want to be his friend but very few actual close friends. The people who truly know him can be counted on one hand.


"Same for everybody surely you silly tart Katie???"

Haven't heard from them since the result. Not that I give a toss.

"just the same as when we finally got rid of Bliar"

lol mr.e...we haven't got rid of him yet, at least he doesn't think we have - same as his chum Major lol.

It depends upon how the money is spent - buying companies, properties, laundromat to name a few. Next UK rate move may be down???
(On the GBP it may be people locking in gains?)

[jordaggy] 16/12/2019 10:02

Caroline actually Alp. Why is the £ struggling against the dollar? I expected a whoosh, with all the pent up billions waiting to be invested. The UK will be seen as stable by the likes of Moody's, just as soon as Boris' cunning plan starts to bare fruits. As money flows in, inflation will creep above 2% and interest rates will rise accordingly - happy days for banks.

[mr.elbee] 16/12/2019 09:52

good post mitchy, but you say"Brexit isn't a slam dunk when 75% of MP's are against it. Boris may be ousted now that he has served his purpose."

The MP's and the fishwife and Europe will now do as they are told.
The City view is that the EU and the US will be soon ....very soon...competing for the UK's trade favours fast.
Boris has one chance this is it.
Who is going to oust him? This is the tory party remember.He has single-handedly saved it from extinction.
