Mr Barnier it's very simple, we just want our country back – SIR IAIN DUNCAN SMITHTHE BREXIT saga is coming to an end. In days, possibly but certainly no more than a week or two, the UK must break free of its 47-year membership of what was once called the Common Market but has now morphed into a would-be superstate, aka the European Union.By SIR IAIN DUNCAN SMITH MP...

Dear Supporter,At the start of this most recent national lockdown, we wrote to tell you about our application to the Electoral Commission for consent to change the name of our party from The Brexit Party to Reform UK. In that same email, we invited you to register your details, if you were interested in standing for Reform UK in elections next May.Since writing to you, the scale of the Tory mismanagement of the Covid crisis has become even more indefensible. We have a Prime Minister who has allowed himself, for a second time, to be bounced into a devastating lockdown by dodgy, out of date data. Thousands of businesses destroyed, people dying at home in excess numbers and the damage to our economy almost incalculable; all this whilst friends of the Government, friends of ministers and cabinet ministers are making millions from our misery.This week the Government had a chance to salvage something from the disastrous way in which they've handled Covid in 2020. Instead, they effectively cancelled Christmas for millions of people around the country in the form of a rebranded lockdown. CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT REFORM UKThe Tories simply don't deserve any more chances. It's time for us to take a stand.We are the only party of high growth who believe in cutting taxes, cutting daft regulations and cutting huge government waste. Not only that, we are the only party who truly believe in the potential of a post-Brexit Britain.Next May we will be taking our message to voters across Britain. Local Elections are taking place around the country, alongside elections for Police and Crime Commissioners and elections for the Greater London Assembly and the devolved Parliaments in Scotland and Wales.We are inviting you now to take your stand with us, in showing Britain that there is reason for hope and optimism in 2021.You can apply by following the relevant link below.LOCAL ELECTIONS APPLICATIONLONDON CANDIDATE APPLICATIONPOLICE & CRIME COMMISIONER APPLICATIONSCOTLAND CANDIDATE APPLICATIONWALES CANDIDATE APPLICATIONThis morning, a MSM outlet sent out a news update that read 'No hugging, singing or board games: How to have a COVID-safe Christmas'. This is the country that the establishment are trying to force us into. We cannot allow that to happen, which is why these elections will be so important in continuing our commitment to Change Politics for Good. Now is the time to stand up for your country at this time of need. CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT REFORM UKWith best wishes,?Richard Tice

Agree scruff1, a green tick from me. It will be good when Brexit is sorted, we can spend more time exchanging investment ideas and data lol.

[cheshire pete] 29/11/2020 11:42

Agree Minerve. Think the green revolution is likely to gather momentum going forward and the transition from petrol/diesel to electric vehicles an important part. So comfortable being invested in this area and can live with any share price volatility.

Also invested in gold as a hedge against inflation, which some commentators are saying is inevitable going forward although not clear when. High debt, inflation and high gold prices have happened before, so if history repeats itself...

Amongst all the bull thats a good post

I know all that about cars and copper, cheshire. Similar themes run for cobalt in EV batteries etc.. etc..

On-the-face-of it it copper looks a good investment, and in hindsight has been. But I wanted to add that it has been driven up by traders who have bought significant amounts of inventory over the years as a play on investors like you who buy on the simple bull signal. The same thing happens with gold.

The result is that the price of copper swings much greater than the underlying supply/demand balance on its physical use. In essence it becomes a 'leveraged play' because the traders are increasing the level of its beta if copper had one.

Fine in a bull market but terrible in a down turn.

Some of you on this thread need to start looking at the risks you take in addition to the anticipated returns. You would all make better investors if you started to do that.

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....

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....
