The UK should not be treated like a third country by the EU
It should be treated like a a leper colony.
Its full of imbeciles, silly old shop keepers, and some very nasty people, with some very sick ideas.

Thank your lucky stars you can't catch Asperger's just by reading Minerve 2.

Another reason for me not to add ,at this time, was that although 56.5p seems to have some support I don't trade on margin so I need the share price to gain almost half a pence before I'm in profit. I was very tempted yesterday but felt there wouldn't be enough profit to risk it in the short term.The results on the 20th could give a reason for a rise over the next couple of weeks though. Who knows?Good Luck.

It's all guff and kerfuffle; the EU can't be seen giving us a great deal as this would mean a mass exodus of other nations leaving. But on the other hand, we buy 1 in 7 cars made in the EU and we have the best fishing waters...so Boris will get his deal. Its an exercise in simple bartering and we are in a better position than the EU. Our top thinkers know this and so does every thinking head in Europe!

Can guess what that might be CTR, only problem being martyrdom is what they're hoping for"


Only if there is media publicity, not if you just vanish them :)

Richard Egerton4 Feb 2020 10:56AMAs Nigel pointed out, populism is becoming very popular. The electorate are evidently behind the PM's tough stance and his domestic political strength contrasts well with the EU's internal divisions and their need for a good deal.  The EU's momentum has been lost...just compare Boris' glorious vision of Global Britain with Barnier's fearful, backward-looking protectionist mantras.  He's yesterday's man and it showed on his ruddy cheeks.Rational Remainers can see that Project Fear has failed to materialise and that the IMF predicts stronger growth in the UK than in the EU.  The effectively-WTO 'Australian System' is a polite way of saying 'what are you going to do about it?  About time too, Happy days.

Yes I'd kinda agree with that but I just can't see much upside in these uncertain times. The Nissan news is a buggy in my opinion. Other companies have already started securing office space after Brexit so it's all very encouraging. But corona virus effectively shutting down China few weeks is going to have impact on world trade. Brexit ,Iran , slowdown in world economy pre virus et all.

Oh, I love the smell of a gammon circus in the morning. :)

mitchy : Despite all the froth and bubble ...57p appears to be 'round about' a decent 'base line'.

Moving down...back to normal!

[nemesis6] 04/2/2020 10:29

What do you mean?
We have been ripped off for cars for years and years ...and these CEO's most of them useless overpaid and over here. They all employ family members and rinse the system with dividends. It will not make a jot of difference except maybe fiddling a mill a year instead of 2 mill.
Weve been looked upon as the easy cash cow for years...now we have banks charging up to 40% for an overdraft when rates are below 1%!!... what will the glorious CEO's do about that numpty?

[careful] 04/2/2020 10:12

We trade high value added goods to the EU.
That business will be difficult to replace if lost.
Lots of well paid jobs depend upon it.

I wish some of you could understand the risks better.
There will be no problems in buying cheap food and trading with other countries.

But financial services, Pharma, aerospace, cars...these are big earners and EU. business that will be impossible to replace if lost.

Use your heads and listen to the CEO's who have to run businesses in these areas instead of pushing your own opinions.

We all hope things will turn out well, we could pull it off, but there are serious risks. If you are not worried you do not understand the problem.

We have called the EU bluff and they have nothing"


Yep they have nothing because the traitors in House of Commons that were working their cause have ALL been fired so the traitors in HoL now have to watch their step.

ShirleyPosted February 4, 2020 at 6:27 am | PermalinkI am 100% certain that there are other countries who will trade without demanding supremacy of their laws over ours, an annual payment, free movement, theft of our fishing grounds and a one sided 'dispute' court.Therefore, it would be sensible to have genuine free trade with those countries, and not the misnamed 'free' trade with the EU.
