More importantly she is now no longer relevant.
Actually she is beginning to sound like an embittered Edward Heath.

In the last normal year for which figures are available – 2018 – Britain spent 0.34 per cent of our GDP on state aid, compared to 1.45 per cent for Germany and 0.79 per cent for France. Furthermore, the EU has willingly signed up to free trade deals with other countries without trying to fix their state aid and competition rules permanently in advance.Sadly, however, the British position is also at fault. For one thing, the Cabinet has not set out what its policy is on future rules governing state aid, a situation which only exacerbates the paranoia across the Channel. And it appears that some in the Government believe that freedom to support particular firms might be crucial to the high-tech, scientific, advanced research future they want to see for Britain.This vision is a good and exciting one. But look around at all the greatest centres of high-tech innovation in the world and examine the reason for their success. Getting the state to invest in chosen businesses is not one of them.Why is London already the number one location for fintech – the convergence of financial innovation with new technology? Because it is awash with venture capital, has a critical mass of skills, is a fun place to live, has City firms to try out the new ideas and is close to top universities. State aid hasn't come into it. Ease of applying for patents, or setting up a company, or recruiting the best staff are all far more important.... William Hague... The Telegraph

The human rights act from the b Liar/brown era.

FF
The far right is just middle of the road...yet the comment is still allowed. Here
As I understand it - any dude can make application to any court under any circumstance - regardless of fairness to any party.
Was just cause just eliminated or do we now have the ultimate liberal ruination of our society?
Why was so much damage done in the B Liar / brown era?

The planes will stop flying Remain claimed.


"British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines said on Tuesday it had obtained the necessary regulatory approvals to continue flying freely regardless of whether there is a Brexit deal in place or not by the end of the year"

"We’re delighted to announce that regulators confirmed that these plans in case of a hard Brexit do comply with European Union connectivity regulations.”


Remain flat out lied. As usual.

Re



To call zerohedge far right which is what google are saying is a bit daft imho.
Seems google take exception to some of the comments in the comments sections. Since the comments can number many hundreds or even into the low thousands on any individual article and ZH publishes many articles it is not surprising that some comments may not be to the liking of everybody.

However when is censorship legitimate?
I would comment that there have been many things on ZH I do not agree with.
However I do not have one religion and will read things I do not agree with. I am not a bigot which it seems google is.

Basically google needs dismembering under US anti trust legislation as do several of the other big US tech companys which are borderline monopolies due to their having excessive economies of scale resulting from their size.

The second website that google do not like is this.



I am struggling to find anything far right in it.
This is the first time I have taken a look at it.
I am increasingly beginning to wonder what is far right? Anything a nut job does not agree with?

So yanks wont take the shot.
Why would any sane person take shot - there will never be a vaccine v this - but there may be an aid??????????????????

Just for the record:

'The UK government spends half as much - 0.38% of GDP - on supporting businesses as France, at 0.76% and roughly a quarter as much as Germany's 1.51%.'

DOMINICPosted September 8, 2020 at 5:40 am | PermalinkIt seems we are under attack from both without and from within.Those without like Merkel, Barnier and the Irish Taoiseach seem determined to place limitations on our ability to operate independently on all matters once we have departed Germany's sphere of economic and political influence.Those within like Parliamentary politicians, certain Ministries, the authorities, the BBC, BLM, Labour Marxists, Tory socialists, the media and every other grubby progressive infection seem intent on placing limitations on our ability to express our views on all mattersWe are fully exposed to a tsunami of illiberal bigotry and leftist intimidation using threat, condemnation and propagandaWhy is Freedom, liberty and open debate now so reviled by the political class in the UK? Do they find it inconvenient to their cause?Our freedoms have slowly been eroded away since 1997 by both the EU and all politicians who have deliberately undermined the British culture of free expression to protect their own position and to preserve their party's leverage

Some sort of exit deal would be a significant boost to sentiment here
and the short term share price

If that's not the case perhaps lower 20"s?. UKX level also a factor.

Cobourg,

I think you should be ok with those 3 once the economy starts to recover from a recession.

However, I think the markets are going to go lower, so I hope to pick up some around 20p and RDSB around 800p-900p.

Furlough ends at end of Oct and redundancy consultations start 45 days beforehand, so around next week.

Q4 is the interesting qtr with several uncertain events coming together within that qtr.
