and that is because the UK political establishment, led by the arch muppet JOHNSON, have at last realised that the tory party will be out of power for fifty years unless the scam that is covid is scrupulously

IGNORED.

Factories are getting back to work CREDIT: Owen Humphreys/PA Wire


Almost every industry in Britain is growing faster than its competitors around the world, further raising hopes of a ‘v-shaped’ recovery as the economy gets back to work....

It's time for business as usual. Take care and always follow the rules if you don't want to cough the virus.. but if you play cool or stupid I don't care if you live or die. After all the population is 7 billion and counting...

The lumberjack is consistent - long on words - short on any alternative or any action.
Must try harder.

C2, was thinking the same thing, hope we can bounce of 28?

The "HATED EU" mafia


3.The European Court of Justice is decreed to be our highest court, governing the
entire Agreement - Art. 4. stipulates that both citizens and resident companies can use it. Art 4.2 orders our courts to recognise this. “If the European Commission considers that the United Kingdom has failed to fulfil an obligation under the Treaties or under Part Four of this Agreement before the end of the transition period, the European Commission may, within 4 years after the end of the transition period, bring the matter before the Court of Justice of the European Union”. (Art. 87)

Expect a watered down deal once Boris works out how to sell it to the masses. Long sterling; may help Lloy.

No wish to dig up the old Brexit arguments, but we did help to write the rules, all for our mutual benefit.
If there were rules we did not like we could have vetoed them.

That is an important point, that is how the EU. works.

The negotiation will be difficult, we shall wish to keep all of our trading freedoms and advantages, especially in financial services which we dominate, whilst at the same time 'taking back control' of our borders, fishing grounds and everything else.

I wish them good luck with that lot.

At the same time the tough negotiation with Americans are running into troubled waters.

The Americans are protectionist and have a 'buy American first' policy.
When Trump talks of a great trade deal, he means he wants to sell us stuff, and take control of the UK economy.

A reasonable deal is all any of us want, no special favours.

Being subject to €urolands rules and regulations and diktats is not sensible.

Hence, stalemate.

[careful] 20/8/2020 13:24

We shall see how strong he recovery is in the autumn winter.
When the furlow scheme ends.

With the whole world in economic chaos, we are forgetting Brexit.
We need a reasonable deal there also.

How long can the Worlds central bankers keep on printing money and piling on debt.
Debt levels far higher than at any time in history.

No wonder Buffett is buying gold, he must worried.
He did not believe in it in the past.

Alternatively, again from Daily Telegraph, Allister Heath...bearish on Britain. Our economy, trashed by Covid and the lockdown, is about to be sucked into a catastrophic doom loop, with no escape hatch. Forget about a V-shaped recovery: the future is a truncated square root, with years of stagnant growth to follow a partial rebound next year. We are leaving the EU, but are set for Eurozone-style semi-stagnation. It's a tragedy.Why such negativity? Savage tax increases of a kind ordinarily associated with Left-wing governments now seem almost inevitable, and I fear that one entire plank of what should have been the Johnsonian renewal agenda – supply-side, pro-growth tax relief – will never materialise.Remember how Boris Johnson talked about raising the threshold for the higher income tax rate to £80,000 during his leadership campaign (though it was omitted from his manifesto)... Who knows.

reading minervas drivel in the header I am so glad I filtered the creature. What a life it lives, I can't believe anyone pays any attention to it

POSITIVE.

Even then the teenage scribblers are probably being too optimistic themselves. So many variables could derail a recovery. Perhaps it is all priced in. Perhaps it isn't.
