Did he live in Cheshire maxidi?

max - there may be a list of issues in a negotiation. To make the other party feel that they have done a good deal you let a few tiddlers go. In this case they really are real live tiddlers. ;)
IMO there will be a deal and gaining the tiddlers will be celebrated in the Express etc. etc.

I sleep soundly knowing that we, the British People, have dominion over all the fish and crustacea that swim and crawl in our Sovereign Waters! That knowledge alone is priceless to possess.


ROFLMAO!

Brexit is turning into bonfire of business. But that’s what the Brexiloons knowingly voted for of course....

[minerve 2] 26/10/2020 13:03

So Derby home to Rolls-Royce and, more recently, a massive Toyota plant, voted heavily for Brexit to see design responsibility moved to Berlin. It's always wonderful to see how a plan comes together in the end.


LOL!

Banana curvature - it should replace Union Jack at some point

Getting hard to keep up with all the Brexit dividends!
What are the tangible benefits, again?

[geckotheglorious] 26/10/2020 12:59

Absolutely agree Utrick.,

It isn't fair on those that do get up at 6am to head to a minimum wage job, who then pay tax, to fund these sponging wastrels.

Most CEO's bankrupting their companies by serving the interests of a few fat shareholders.

In today's brief: Barnier stays in London as deal gets closer despite 'no movement at all' on fisheries. Meanwhile, France enjoys playing the role of 'bad cop' and Britain looks to boost trade and influence in Africa.Barnier to stay in London till Wednesday: Michel Barnier has decided to remain in London for more intensive talks prompting hopes that a trade deal with the EU is close. The talks had been expected to take place in Brussels this week but instead the EU's chief negotiator will stay in London until Wednesday. However, some said the decision was in part due to high coronavirus infection rates in the Belgian capital but that the decision was welcomed by the government as further evidence of momentum. No progress on fisheries: Despite publicly declaring that they are willing to compromise, Brussels negotiators, under pressure from France, have "not moved at all" on fisheries. Sources close to the negotiations said that Macron was refusing to soften his stance and had adopted an "egregious" position on the issue. Some are hoping that Angela Merkel will intervene to break the impasse, but with Macron conscious of the strength of feeling back home, this roadblock risks scuppering a deal altogether. A Government source suggested that there was "light at the end of the tunnel" on the other key sticking points of state aid and finding a suitable dispute resolution mechanism.The French puff out their chests: France's Europe minister Clément Beaune has confirmed France's 'bad cop' strategy saying that Paris is ensuring the EU is "really tough" with Britain as we enter into a vital week of negotiations. Progress is being made but Macron's hardline stance on fisheries is lowering the prospects of a deal and Mr Beaune seemed to enjoy the reputation France has achieved saying "We've always been accused of being the bad cops - we take full responsibility for that."That's all well and good now, but I wonder if they'll take full responsibility when French fishermen get no access whatsoever to British waters after the transition period ends? Beaune also said that Macron has been "on the front line" in the Brexit fight and hinted that other leaders should have been less willing to compromise.The Telegraph has its own view on the current Brexit impasse, looking at how Macron has endeavoured to "portray himself as a European federalist who can lead the bloc towards 'ever closer union'" but also as a man who will do anything to not stir up renewed hostility towards his leadership at home. The only question now is, which does he value more? Is he prepared to anger French fishermen at home and risk giving his opponents more ammunition? Or is he prepared to fall out with other member states and deny them a trade agreement with one of their biggest markets? Only time will tell.Irish Govt pushes for EU and UK to protect exporters: The Irish government has been pressing the EU and UK to allow NI exporters to benefit from existing and future free trade agreements between the EU and other countries around the world. Under the Northern Ireland Protocol, any goods produced in NI can circulate freely throughout the EU but will not be recognised as EU goods for the purposes of being exported to countries outside the EU because NI will still be part of the UK's customs territory. RTE understands that the issue has been raised by the Irish government informally at the highest level both with the European Commission and the British government. The issue has also been raised with the EU UK Joint Committee. UK eyes Africa as way to boost trade: Britain is eyeing investment in Africa as a way to boost trade and influence after Brexit but faces stiff competition from China. Some British Conservatives hope that the UK can position itself as a more attractive partner. China is the single most dominant investor in Africa but countries are finding out that Chinese investment is not free and debt arrangements can be crippling. Britain and America on the other hand usually have strings up front but no surprise small print like the Chinese. Prime Minister Boris Johnson echoed a similar sentiment back in January, when he told a UK-Africa investment summit that Britain was a "reliable" partner and "the people you should be doing business with."China close to 'world domination': A former head of Germany's foreign intelligence agency has told the Times that China is close to "world domination" and that Europe must wake up to the danger. Gerhard Schindler said that Germany needed to curb its "strategic dependence" on Beijing and ban Huawei from its 5G network. Merkel and Germany have been reluctant to criticise China or make statements that might provoke Beijing, in order to protect their business interests and the 206 billion euros of bilateral exports and imports from their largest trading partner. Freeing UK from Brussels is more attractive that a Brexit deal: In the Telegraph, Roger Bootle argues that a free trade deal with the EU cannot just maintain the status quo and that a Brexit deal is not as attractive as freeing Britain from the shackles of the EU's broken Single Market. He notes that "we do more trade with countries that are not members of the Single Market than we do with countries that belong to the Single Market" and asks the question "if Single Market membership is of such tremendous value, why have its members done so badly over the last two decades?"For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

E - that comment on aircraft parts may seem crazy but there is an issue with some car parts. Some UK manufacturers are no longer having TUV approval and shortly may not have the CE stamp. I have just paid out to have some UK manufactured wheels single type approved. Manufacturer was very helpful btw.

Bundesbank remarks in their latest monthly report
*Expects German economic recovery to continue in Q4 But at a "considerably slower" pace
*Sharp rise in virus infections, coupled with restrictions, to hit services industry
*Hospitality in particular to get hit badly
*German economy has clawed back a little more than half of the output lost during the slump seen in H1 2020
*But output is still probably some 5% below the level recorded in Q4 last year


Last 2 points sound especially positive. Clawed back over half... and only 5% down on previous year (yet shares prices down well over 60% on most banks from earlier fear of the unknown)

With all the money selling out of equities at the moment I reckon with the banks being oversold there will be an influx of large sums coming... Some good tree shakes as the big players will want your stock!

"Bet none of the thick xxxx's in the shadow cabinets got an o level in maths"

Certainly the case if they went to a second rate independent school such as Reigate grammar.

Pretty awful school uniform as well has to be said..
