Minerve we have a regime in charge of the UK.

[ladeside] 10/1/2020 10:22

It's maybe what's needed minerve.

A hard right Government who will further reward the fat cats, big business and the aristocracy while really screwing over the people is probably the wake up call that's needed for many in the country in order to facilitate serious change.

Some have a very short memory of the evil acts committed by Thatcher and it looks like it's going to repeat itself with Cummings pulling the strings and being ably assisted my odious characters such as Patel and Javid.

Joy............

The UK should “move as far away as we can” from EU rules without losing access to European markets, said Nigel Wilson, chief executive of FTSE 100 insurer Legal & General.

In other words, take away the regulation and let us do as we please, who cares if we end up with another market crash as we'll be off with the candy and it will be the tax payer who picks up the pieces as always, hee, hee, hee.

Orban said he believed the EU "misunderstood" the situation if it believed a good set of relations was primarily in the interest of Britain after Brexit, as this was just as much in the interest of the EU's 27 remaining members including Hungary. He said post-EU Britain would be successful and that it had opened a "fantastic door, a fantastic opportunity" for itself. "I am sure there is a success story in the making there."

Project Fear has proved to be a complete, total pack of lies from start to finish. It won't be long before you find people are embarrassed to admit to having voted remain - and they'll ask themselves why on earth they did.

As you very well know there is no cliff edge because the WA is a soft-Brexit and Brexit hasn't happened yet.

That is why the 'landlord' would not put that comment in the header.

Yes mr.elbee very quiet...but then it would be, after all they were expecting an emergency budget..didn't happen, immediate recession..didn't happen, mass unemployment...didn't happen, finance houses re-locating to EU land...didn't happen, chaos at the ports...didn't happen, drugs shortage..didn't happen.

Eating of humble pie by any of the proponents of the above, yes you've guessed didn't happen. Now where's the effing cliff edge then?

I have no comment to make - just thought it worth repeating this excellent post! If we didn't have an absentee landlord on the thread it might have gone in the header.

City grandees call for London to distance itself from Brussels after Brexit







Michael O'Dwyer
9 JANUARY 2020 • 7:29PM



City heavyweights rowed in behind Bank of England Governor Mark Carney and former Chancellor George Osborne by calling on the UK to distance itself from Brussels after Brexit.

The UK should “move as far away as we can” from EU rules without losing access to European markets, said Nigel Wilson, chief executive of FTSE 100 insurer Legal & General.

Mr Carney said earlier this week there was no point in the UK aligning its financial rulebook entirely with the EU after Brexit in the hope of securing a better trade deal.

Paul Feeney, boss of FTSE 250 wealth manager Quilter, backed the Governor’s comments. He said: “Future changes to UK financial regulation should uphold the UK's position as a competitive and leading global investment centre, while ensuring that it works for both consumers and the industry.”...

cheshire - "UK will prosper outside the EU".

Based upon what exactly? Your tea leaves? If IYO then say so.

I hope that nobody ever follows your market assessments - that is if you ever have any.

"It is "highly likely" that Iran shot down the civilian Ukrainian jetliner that crashed near Tehran, killing all 176 people on board, US, Canadian and British officials have said.

They said the fiery missile strike could well have been a mistake amid rocket launches and high tension throughout the region.

The crash on Wednesday morning came just a few hours after Iran launched a ballistic attack against Iraqi military bases housing US troops in its violent confrontation with Washington over the drone strike that killed an Iranian Revolutionary Guard general.

The airliner could have been mistaken for a threat, said four US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence"



Call me a cynic but if I were the Iranian administration such would have been a perfect opportunity to get rid of those against the Ayatollah's administration..Any "outspoken Iranians" on this airliner?
