"WTO will not fly".

We agree on one thing max.

If that was such an attractive route it would have been triggered years ago. It is not and, any of the scores of UK negotiators know that very well. The minute handful of people who think it is utopia reside on this thread.

Getting near the time for me to bite the bullet and dump a few K, there's cash to made but not with LLOY this year.

“Barnier said government proposals would give Britain an unfair economic advantage in the steel, automobile, aviation, road haulage, farming and energy sectors.”

EU now admit Brexit will give UK competitive advantage.

Manufacturing represents approx. 17.5% of UK GDP.

City of London 22% of UK GDP.

[mitchy] 04/9/2020 00:14

Manufacturing at 6 year high. Makes perfect sense now .That's why lloy is gaining junk status by the day. It's all becoming clear now. The economy is obviously in the toilet. The next thing will be that growth exceeds pre pandemic levels ....then we're really f/ $#_*?^

Amazon picking up when Ocado declined.

[buywell3] 03/9/2020 22:18

Amazon gearing up to take market share in the UK with another 7,000 jobs planned


UK market share that is in EVERYTHING

They like other BIG USA companies will be offering all their UK Alexa clients various financial services.

UK Banks look like Dinosaurs in comparison to these companies

They will grow by job creation to begin with 2020 and 2021
Watch out in 2022

Looking at Canada etc non agreements, then obviously there will be no dealing. Part of the EU DNA. Looking at its belly button. For our part obviously and inevitably it is No Deal and we look out Global and embrace the world. As we always have done before Prison EUSSR.No DealWTO

jeremy friend3 Sep 2020 5:20PMA well reasoned argument but I doubt it will happen. For whatever reason the EU seems currently devoid of common sense, and seems intent on damaging itself simply to make a point. That point being that, despite Barnier's assurances to the contrary, the EU simply doesn't accept that the UK is now an independent sovereign country outside the EU laws and arrangements.If the EU accepted that the UK was now sovereign it would not harp on about a level playing field, nor would it demand that the CFP remains unchanged. Note well that the EU continues to "demand" and not request. If the EU for a moment accepted that the UK was an equal independent nation it would not "demand". Demanding something of another country is what you do when, like France in 1815, that country has been utterly defeated and humiliated in a war.But what this article does demonstrate is the sheer stupidity of the EU in not negotiating a sensible Canada style trade agreement. As this article points out any level playing field is already sloping severely in the EU's favour. A free trade agreement would protect that position. One would have thought that the EU would want to hang on to a major customer, close by and with a massive trade surplus. WTO terms will leave the EU open to challenges about various subsidies, such as to Airbus, or other companies where there is government shareholding

Sergeant Pepper3 Sep 2020 5:58PMOur relationship with the EU is toxic and although it is tempting to fight dirty I can't see this ending in a win-win trade deal. It is better to walk away now and return when the mood has shifted.Regardless of any FTA the major concern must be the solvency of the eurozone. The Target 2 balances held by the member state's central banks are non performing, they will never be repaid and do not attract any interest, by any accounting convention they have a net realisable value of NIL.The biggest balance, held by Germany, now exceeds €1 trillion and continues to be recorded as a recoverable asset on the Bundesbank's balance sheet. If treated correctly and removed ,the Bundesbank would be insolvent. We should not be rushing to get too close to the EU at the moment.Martin Hainsworth3 Sep 2020 6:10PM@Sergeant PepperAlso, clause 24 would become available on 1/1/21. The EU would welcome this as its saves face and kicks the can down the road for 10 years (they like kicking cans).At the end of 10 years we will be in a different world, most probably with no euro.

Theyee fking illegal immigrants usurping the position of asylum seekers who go through the proper channels. I'd lodge them on prison ships in the most appalling conditions.
