Talking of Parato 8020 I didn't even realise the UK were the EU's largest single customer for goods and services at a whopping 18% !!! Break it down further & it's easy to see why Barnier is still here grovelling. Germany would be the biggest loser, it exports a whopping €109B!! Also French Fishing & agriculture contributes a massive 10% to Froggy GDP so the pressures on Barnier for sure!
On UK exports to the EU I've long since held the belief that we only sell bespoke products to europe that they cant get from anywhere else & besides that the figures are skewed massively because most of our exports go via Rotterdam & crucially are then forwarded to the rest of the world. I wouldnt be at all suprised if our actual EU exports were as little as a few grand.
It's also crucial to mention the long term trends 90% of future world growth will come from outside the EU, & since by my logic we dont supply the EU with much anyway we may as well just keep our fish & watch the Deutsche Mark's roll in in the form of German Tariffs. Merkel needs to send Barnier over with some 'money off' vouchers for Dr Oetker pizzas and some Ferrero Roches if she wants to get our attention because at the moment these absolutely nothing on the table for GB.

Ministers in London expressed scorn on an offer from Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator, that the EU will grant British access to just 15 per cent to 18 per cent of the fish in UK sovereign waters.A UK Government source said the offer showed how far apart the two sides are, adding: "These figures are risible, and the EU side know full well that we would never accept this....

Special Report

Pennsylvania Bombshell: Biden 99.4% vs. Trump 0.6%

Stunning testimony that the media has dutifully ignored.


There are landslides and then there are landslides. There are lopsided votes and then there are lopsided votes. There are egregious examples of vote manipulation and then there are really egregious examples of vote manipulation. What surfaced during hearings in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 25, 2020 may set the standard for electoral outrageousness. An expert testifying to the Pennsylvania Senate flagged a batch of ballots that recorded some 570,000 votes for Joe Biden and only 3,200 for Donald Trump.

Yes, you read that correctly. That would equate to Joe Biden bagging 99.4% of that enormous chunk of votes. That one batch alone would have flipped the state to Biden.





This bombshell was dropped last Wednesday at the Wyndham Hotel in Gettysburg. The November 25 hearings, which began at 12:30 p.m. and ran for nearly four hours, were convened at the request of Senator Doug Mastriano (R-Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, and York counties). It was sponsored by the Senate Majority Policy Committee, chaired by Sen. David Argall (R-Berks/Schuylkill). Mastriano has called what happened “unacceptable,” and has called for the resignation of Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar.

This particular gem was provided by Ret. Col. Phil Waldren, a former combat officer with a background in Army information and electronic warfare. Waldren, who testified along with Rudy Giuliani’s team, brought to the hearing his considerable expertise in analysis of election-data fraud. After Waldren presented his material, the chair opened the floor for questions. Rudy Giuliani went first, asking Waldren to clarify what his analytics team means when they talk about “spike anomalies” in voting patterns. These, as Waldren defines them, are “events where a numerical amount of votes are processed in a time period that is not feasible or mechanically possible under normal circumstances.” Waldren showed a chart with a shocking example of an apparent massive dump of votes for Joe Biden. Giuliani pressed Waldren for clarification regarding this unbelievable “Biden injection of votes.” Here’s the exchange:

Brexit Bulletin: it now all comes down to whether Boris will gamble on selling a bad deal


The pageantry and politics of closing negotiations is mind-bending

And so we approach the final act, all smoke and mirrors. Brussels and Britain are miles apart, and yet within a whisker of an agreement. Both sides are determined to win the argument, and yet closer than ever to mutually compatible interpretations.

It isn’t particularly reassuring that the Brexit crunch point feels like the slow climax towards the finale of a conjuring trick. Are we gearing up for the clean break that people voted for, or merely the political illusion of an exit? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: it is all politics....

Electoral suicide if he does scruff1. Maybe he's not bothered, or Allegra and nut nuts have put the fluence on him. Still can't believe he'd let us down.

Zip wire, waving a pasty in the air or other antics won't keep 'red wall' voters if he betrays on Brexit. Tory party RIP.

Copper is needed in electric cars but not as much in telecoms anymore where fibre is being used. Copper’s success has been primarily driven by Chinese traders buying loads as it is one of the easiest hard commodities to transport and store. In this regard it is a leveraged commodity.

That stinks of a softening up process 'Britain could be just seven days from leaving with a no deal - warns No. 10' (Telegraph). Sounds like Chaos is trying to get us to be thankful that his BRINO is the best ' oven ready' deal on offer and that it will be his triumph. He going to sell us out I suspect

Alphorn: Mr Red Braces, Justin Urquhart Stewart always talks a lot of sense, saw his suggestions yesterday:

Brexit deal: I shares or Vanguard FTSE 250 ETF

No deal: FTSE 100 ETF

Single Company: Diageo...drown sorrows.

Last time I acted on his thoughts was Anglo American at just over £2 in New Year 2016. Bought a month later at £3.60, now c £22.50. Still holding cos of weights of copper needed in electric cars, apart from other minerals they mine.

cheshire - pleased to hear that. Don't forget that hope is not a strategy.

No posts here are going to make the slightest difference to the Brexit outcome. What posts can do is to raise ideas that can make investing even more successful.

Maxk...all I can think is that if they perpetuate a vibrant vociferous passionate politically engaged university educated generation, its bound to pay dividends in the future once life has corrected their ideology.
