Millions of Britons could be entitled to a second wave of lucrative payment protection insurance (PPI) compensation after a series of court rulings found the products were “unfair”. It means anyone who was denied a payment, received only partial refunds or has never claimed can demand all their money back — regardless of whether the products were appropriate for them or not.

Geoffrey Thirlby9 Aug 2020 8:55AMWith the ERG now raising it's head above the parapet and banging their drum, this will hopefully keep Johnson's attention focused on leaving the EU lock stock and barrel without a deal. One always feels that Johnson will make concessions, but there are plenty of hawks in the Tory party ready to bring him down, so he needs to do what he was elected for, leave the EU and get the UK back to being a full sovereign nation, not a halfway house...

Letter to the Health SecretaryBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: AUGUST 9, 2020I would like to follow up on my questions to you concerning the search for treatments that help CV 19 patients. You rightly replied that a number were in clinical research under your Recovery Trial, as well as with the WHO's Solidarity trial and elsewhere. It was good news that  Dexamethasone was shown to have helpful effects for some serious cases.How are the trials both in the UK and abroad going for1. Other immune moderators and Interferons?2. Anti virals including Remdesivir and Hydroxychloroquine?3. Anti coagulants?4. Convalescent plasma?5. Vitamins C and D? 6. Nitric Oxide, zinc and Ozone?Some of these treatments some doctors say  might be best used in the early stages to prevent the disease taking hold , and some may have beneficial effects in serious cases needing oxygen treatment, as with Dexamethasone. Clearly finding more ways of combatting the different features of the serious versions of the pandemic would be of great help in taming it.Your stated policy of getting the NHS back to work on everything not related to CV 19 is now crucial. New contracts with the private health Sector should be based solely on buying stated procedures, treatments and operations for patients on the NHS waiting list. Buying capacity with no known patient in mind will be wasteful and will not incentivise the NHS to use the private capacity fully, as we saw during lock down.It is also important that the policy of handling CV 19 cases in isolation hospitals or in clearly sealed off units in District General hospitals is properly enforced and advertised so patients are not put off attending surgeries, clinics and hospitals to have other serious conditions treated. With best wishes to you in getting the NHS fully back to work after the heroic efforts made by some to tackle the dangerous and difficult CV 19 surge.

The global markets may disagree with you!

Don't be so bl..dy negative x5 otherwise I shall have to reverse my optimistic bullish sterling positions.

Does the EU really have 100 free trade agreements? Of course notOnly 11 real EU trade deals are actually in force, according to EU data?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org 2020Brexit Facts4EU.Org blows apart the EU's (and Remainer-Rejoiners') myth about trade dealsEurophiles in the UK continue to claim that Brexit will mean the loss of 100 trade deals which the EU has negotiated with other countries. This report provides readers with the solid evidence to refute these claims completely.On 23 July 2020, the EU Parliament updated its pages about the EU's trade agreements. Here is what they said:-?Source: EU Parliament, updated by them on 23 July 2020, accessed by us on Sat 08 Aug 2020So, the EU Parliament says that "The EU currently has about 100 trade agreements in place or in the process of being updated or negotiated."Readers will note that the claimed "100 trade agreements" bizarrely includes those agreements which are still being negotiated. Using the same basis, the UK's Department for International Trade could make the same claim. We hope they do not, because it would be equally misleading for the public.Readers who scroll down the EU Parliament's page will find that even the Parliament has to admit that only 38 agreements are "in place".?Source: EU Parliament, updated by them on 23 July 2020, accessed by us on Sat 08 Aug 2020It gets worse for the EUThe EU groups its "trade agreements" and says"There are three main types of agreement"Customs Unionseliminate customs duties in bilateral trade, and;establish a joint customs tariff for foreign importersAssociation Agreements, Stabilisation Agreements, (Deep and Comprehensive) Free Trade Agreements and Economic Partnership Agreementsremove or reduce customs tariffs in bilateral tradePartnership and Cooperation Agreementsprovide a general framework for bilateral economic relations, and;leave customs tariffs as they areTaking the first category there are just three countries listed. Of these, the tiny states of Andorra and San Marino are effectively both part of the EU anyway. Turkey is the only real country listed as being in a Customs Union with the EU.We can eliminate the final category completely. These are not trade agreements in any normal understanding of the term. They do not affect tariffs at all, by the EU's own admission.In the middle category we must also eliminate "Association" and "Stabilisation" Agreements on the same basis. Below is the official text we accessed from the EU's law library for an "Association Agreement". This one is with a country we picked at random: the Middle Eastern country of Jordan.Association Agreement - JordanThe aims of this Agreement are:- to provide an appropriate framework for the political dialogue, allowing the development of close political relations between the Parties,- to establish the conditions for the progressive liberalisation of trade in goods, services and capital,- to foster the development of balanced economic and social relations between the Parties through dialogue and cooperation,- to improve living and employment conditions, and enhance productivity and financial stability- to encourage regional cooperation with a view to the consolidation of peaceful coexistence and economic and political stability,- to promote cooperation in other areas which are of reciprocal interest.This kind of agreement is akin to saying "Let's be nice to each other and talk about trade." Even the EU does not describe these as free trade agreements, although it includes them in the overall numbers. Some of the "Economic Partnership Agreements", such as that with Lesotho in Africa, contain similar sections and only grant "Most Favoured Nation" status on WTO rules, albeit with tariff reductions in some areas.So how many free trade agreements does the EU actually have in force?According to the Trade Directorate of the EU Commission, only 11 out of the claimed 100 trade agreements are actually in force:-Switzerland - AgreementFaroe Islands - AgreementTurkey - Customs unionIceland - Economic Area AgreementNorway - Economic Area AgreementLiechtenstein - Economic Area AgreementSouth Korea - Free Trade AgreementSingapore - Free Trade AgreementVietnam - Free Trade AgreementMexico - Global AgreementJapan - Global agreementWe have excluded "Association", "Partnership and Cooperation", and "Stabilisation and Association" Agreements as these are not real trade agreements. We have also excluded Andorra and San Marino as they are both effectively part of the EU. (The French President, Emmanuel Macron, is even the "Co-Prince of Andorra".) It is possible to make a similar argument about the Faroe Islands in relation to Denmark, but we let that one stand.There are of course trade deals which are not yet in force, but is America, China, or India on the list? No.OBSERVATIONSThe pro-EU lobby will naturally take issue with the above. The problem they have is the EU's own declarations and descriptions of its agreements. The EU may wish to headline "100 trade agreements", but what the British people and British businesses care about is what affects them.We have taken a fairly firm view on what constitutes a "trade deal in force", but we have used the EU Trade Directorates's own data. We have also used their list for "trade deals in force". The only removals are for what most reasonable people would consider to be double-counting (eg Andorra) and agreements which aren't really trade deals at all.The reality of the EU Commission's efforts at doing trade deals is very, very different from the EU's propaganda.If you would like us to continue to expose the myths about the EU in this way, and to stiffen the resolve of the Government to deliver a fully-free, sovereign, and independent United Kingdom on 31 Dec 2020, please support our work with a donation.

So do France under EEC Rules. The 1st point of entry in to the EEC is where you claim Asylum.Fantastic ruling agreed by Land Locked Austria, they won't have Asylum seekers coming over land

[alphorn] 08/8/2020 16:55

P - I agree with much of that.

It is also having an understanding of the consequences of bombing the hell out of a country and destroying its infrastructure and then just leaving or, in Libya's case stopping the bombing. The Med was not such a refugee problem area a decade ago.

There is a choice of dealing with the source or the end result.

The law of averages says that there will be one or two with high skill levels in the 3m odd in Hong Kong so don't worry.

[excell1] 08/8/2020 15:18

What ever happened to the idea that we were only going to let in those people with high skills.Those skills that the country needed. I certainly don't see many of these
illegal immigrants with that points needed for entry.Speaking English was one of the criteria.
