Divergence will start soon. EU will carry on making new laws and expanding their bureaucracy for the remaining 27 countries without us doing anything. We are leaving the EU.

Pierre

I don't know if it has occurred to you and your fellow gammons but Friday's event is just taking us into BRINO.

Real Brexit happens next year at the earliest.

"Yep, polytecnic new age logic."

Yep, university old age spelling?

[grahamite2] 27/1/2020 14:53

And before that, Pierre, "if we don't join the Euro."

It's astonishing that people whose every last prediction has been wrong aren't the slightest embarrassed to keep on offering ridiculous predictions.

Of course, this is not confined to European and economic matters!

FTSE down 2.3% . Obviously ignoring all the healthy economic data. So it's just a question of timing to get the best price.So I'm guessing 55p...any advance on 55p?

Barrister....whatever, he's certainly very savvy.

[cheshire pete] 27/1/2020 14:32

We'll soon be the greatest nation again. Everyone will want to trade with us because they know they won't get bogged down in, or pay for EU type bureaucracy. Also UK law is trusted world wide, why go elsewhere maybe dodgy.

Not exactly a barrister.

He qualified as a barrister.

Yep, polytecnic new age logic.

[cheshire pete] 27/1/2020 14:26

Arrogant in the extreme but as Farage said they're not laughing now.

[minerve 2] 27/1/2020 14:26

"entrepreneur, barrister"

Not exactly, he qualified as a barrister but never practised it.

Huge difference.

[grahamite2] 27/1/2020 14:21

What makes it more extraordinary, jacko, is that Cameron made the position very clear to them: I'm desperate, I really need your help. But they weren't the slightest interested.

[jacko07] 27/1/2020 14:12

Tim Martin Wetherspoons, super successful entrepreneur, barrister and all round positive thinker. We all need to be more like Tim Martin.

Remainers blame everyone but never mention the real culprits for the UK leaving Europe. Why do they never place any blame on the appalling way our PM David Cameron was treated by the Brussels mafia.

We now know that they all wish they had given Cameron something worthwhile to put to the British people, but true to form they thought that after years of Major and Blair accepting anything they were asked, it was just a doddle to palm us off with diddly squat!!

What fools they were!

LAWyORDERLeader



Alibhai-Brown no one is rubbing those on Remand' noses in the defeat of their wish

to remain in the EU. In fact, the coin is meant to celebrate the return of the

sovereignty of the United Kingdom as well as looking forward to a Global Britain,

Britain again trading with the world.

We do not wish to hear any more of your faux victimhood, virtue signalling,

leftist political correctness, me too or any of these other leftist and socialist

weepings, wailing and gnashing of teeth. My gawd if anyone says anything that a

leftist disagrees with nowadays they are mugged by you people. The leftists are

now doing drive bys on each other now when one leftist says something that is not

as progressive as one other socialist thinks.

Go away, and stop annoying the good people.

Should the government cancel HS2?By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 27, 2020I voted against HS2 when the decision in principle was made by Parliament. I did so because the business case for it was very weak. The forecasts of likely passenger numbers and revenues looked far too high. The negative impact on revenues and traveller numbers on the competing routes was not taken very seriously. The main argument that we need to get to Birmingham faster changed into an argument that we needed more capacity to get to Birmingham, which the figures did not seem to justify.I was on the losing side, and accepted defeat with a good grace. I accepted thereafter government and Parliament wanted it to go ahead.Now the government is holding a genuine review. The immediate cause is the massive escalation in projected costs compared with the figures Parliament used to make the original decision. There is also substantial delay in delivering HS2 in the north, which was meant to be the main reason for the scheme. This gives me the opportunity to make a case again for cancellation.The business case has clearly got a lot worse, as the capital cost is so much bigger. There is no way that the nation can earn a decent return on such a huge investment, given the likely passenger numbers and fare revenue possible on this new railway and the impact on the competing railways. It points to more subsidy and more losses.Today though I wish to engage with the political argument that this railway is a totem of commitment to the development of the north and to fairer capital spending around the country, and must not therefore be stopped.The irony is that for the next few years if we continue  there will be massive capital spending in London on remodelling a main station and in London and the Home Counties as money is spent on providing a tunnel out of the city to limit the environmental damage.  HS2 to Birmingham will be yet another major investment project where most of the money is spent in London and the south east, yet it is a project that the people closest to  in London and the south east vehemently oppose.HS2 will do nothing to ease congestion in London and the Home counties or to make it easer for people to get to work from outer London or Buckinghamshire. So it will be a big investment in the south east that is not helping the south east.Meanwhile northern commuters will be frustrated that their journeys are still made difficult by old trains and too little capacity. HS2 unites a lot of people in both north and south saying this is not the right project. We all want better trains, with more capacity into the cities. HS2 does not provide that in ways most people want. If we cancel we could have a big boost to northern rail spending in ways that do  directly help, and still save money overall.

Well said grahamite, how much has their refusal to accept the democratic vote cost the nation over the past 3 and half years? How many more operations could have been carried out or other needy folk been supported instead? All because of the soft headed, anti-democratic lefty liberals...traitors indeed.

[mr.elbee] 27/1/2020 13:57

and Varadkar is the worst

[grahamite2] 27/1/2020 13:55

The only liars, charlatans & cheats are the remoaners. They have it down to a fine art. But they are much worse, for they are traitors who have conducted a 3 year war to subvert and overthrow our institutions.

Cliff edge coming...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

Looking for the nearest 'spoons first though lol.

[m5] 27/1/2020 13:45

Min, if you are a fat unhealthy blob as jacko says, it might get you first. Anyway I thought you said you were early 50's, not exactly a spring chicken are you?
