Here here xxxxy a 3rd of the EU are only in it for the handouts and contribute FA. Whilst in Prague a couple of years ago the locals would ridicule the EU saying...'Were expected to take the Euro but we put them off & take the hand outs instead hahahaha'.

When you look at this unfolding showdown, Brexit takes on a new complexion. The British people took the honourable decision – impetuous perhaps, but not cynical – to leave an EU project that was moving ever-further in an unwelcome direction.Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and others want to go their own sovereign way but remain within the EU and continue to enjoy net financial transfers. This subversion of the EU from within – as Brussels sees it – is a reminder that the British are not Europe's real problem or indeed a problem at all.It ought to be easy enough for the EU to rub along with a liberal, free-market, net-zero Britain, a country that also happens to be a close military and security ally, unless it choses to make this impossible by overdoing demands for a permanent droit de regard and by refusing to reciprocate basic neighbourly courtesies that should have followed de soi from the Withdrawal Agreement.The Barnier team is sailing close to the wind by making so much hostage to an unrelated trade deal and by pushing large claims while offering so little beyond WTO terms. The British people are psychologically prepared for the worst on Jan 1, should it come to that. They have been carpet-bombed with scare stories for four years.The European public is not prepared and this creates a negotiating asymmetry. Should Brexit trade talks fail, the EU will have to activate its no-deal contingency plans and that will come as a rude shock for those benefiting most from the EU's £95bn structural trade surplus with the UK, quite apart from the ensuing crisis in EU-Irish relations over what happens next....

I won't trust Goldman even when they are at sleep. They may be true about the growth of the economy but the Useless lot try to steal small investors money.

What chance yesterday Goldman went long just before the FTSE closed...

Goldman Sachs (GS) has become the latest investment bank to turn bullish on the UK.In a note published on Tuesday titled "Why the UK is a buy," analysts on Goldman's portfolio strategy team urged clients to buy UK stocks and go long on the pound.Analysts based the call on assumptions of a last minute, "skinny" free trade deal being struck with the EU and a strong rebound for the UK economy next year.Goldman predicted UK GDP will bounce back by 7.1% in 2021 - much more than the 5.5% growth forecast by the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility and above the OECD's expectations of just 4.2% growth.READ MORE: UK stocks could shine in 2021 after years of underperformanceIf Goldman's sunnier forecasts come to pass, the bank thinks it will spur UK domestic stocks, such as house builders, higher and send the pound soaring. Analysts said sterling could climb as high as $1.44 next year (GBPUSD=X) - 8% above its current level.Goldman Sachs is the latest investment bank to turn positive on the UK market, which has underperformed international peers for years. Morgan Stanley (MS) has made the UK stock markets one of its key investment calls for 2021, while Citi (C) recently urged clients to make an "aggressive" short-term bet on the British market. Experts at UBS (UBSG.SW) have also been talking up the UK."Overall, we position the UK as a most preferred market, and our price target for the FTSE 100 is 6,800 by June 2021," said Caroline Simmons, UK chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, said on Tuesday...

"chartering a vessel"

A rowing boat?

[alphorn] 01/12/2020 13:21

Ut - agree with you that fishing stocks need to be managed for all our benefit.
In the SofF it has been remarkable on the efforts to clean the Med in recent years. Big predators are coming back as the fish stocks have recovered.

edit: in the local papers they were talking of sharks being seen in some estuaries due to the lack of boating movement following the lockdowns.

[utrickytrees] 01/12/2020 13:14

I recall chartering a vessel to go far out off the coast of Greece to target Tuna, caught fkall. Chartered Africa out of the Port of Lisbon for a week also to target Tuna & skipper took us to Cornwall. Needless to say a few questions were asked and as Maxk points out there are actually no fish in Europe theyve decimated their fish stocks by over fishing. Oh the irony of EU fishing quotas.
