And - why has ?honest Joe not uttered a word about the ? fraud in the votes cast.
A simple statement - there appear to be some irregularities.
We need to look into this.
Honesty - knows what has happened.
Happened elsewhere and condemned.
Not good for USA and indeed not for what was purported to be democracy.

The EU cannot adapt and evolve. So it will die. It was an artificial concept anyway.

Just add on I am so proud of the ppl who procured PPe at a silly price without due process - yes BJ
Add Sunak - thrust into the job - and signed off treasury stupidity in providing interest free loans to supermarkets - via B Rates relief - when they all worked round the clock.

Some bright sparks are very down on their sterling bets aren't they. Oh! dear.


Well, oh dear, oh dear. Took the gain on a close out this afternoon to add to the other Brexit gains. Risk off for this weekend.

Suggest that you stay with Green Shield stamps.

lefrene,

Agree, the EU needs to be burned to the ground thereby freeing the people of the European continent.

Max - trust a politician.
Doris said there not be a 2nd lockdown.
Boris now trying to get the nut nuts madness going - millions more votes lost - we will be greener and faster.
As everyone but BJ knows the pollution resultant from copper and cobalt in countries outside UK and the absolute destruction of basic human values - just add lithium and u see a total liar who seeks to ignore the terrible impact elsewhere - why never say if not .

GS ALWAYS is down on LLoyds what is new?

but see this....UK business stuff...
Goldman Sachs (GS) has broken with consensus to predict a big rebound for the UK economy next year, even as others downgrade their expectations for 2021.

Economists at Goldman on Friday upgraded their forecasts for UK gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2021 and 2022. The investment bank expects the economy to grow by 7% next year and 6.2% the year after.

Sven Jari Stehn, Goldman Sachs’ chief European economist, admitted the calls were “significantly above consensus” in a note sent to clients.

READ MORE: Goldman Sachs: 'The UK is a buy'

The median private sector forecast for GDP growth next year is 5.7% in 2021, according to forecasts compiled by the Treasury.

Goldman’s call also goes against the prevailing tide — in recent weeks forecasts have mostly been cutting their estimates for UK GDP growth next year. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the UK’s official spending watchdog, and the OECD have both trimmed around three percentage points off forecasts made earlier in the year.

Jari Stehn said he believes the UK is “well placed” to benefit from a COVID-19 vaccine next year given the large quantity it has pre-ordered and fast approval by regulators.

The thing is the UK has been such a patsy for decades that the French have come to believe that they own us and our fish, and behave like conquerors. The only thing a bully understands is a hard smack on the nose. It's quite funny seeing Macron trying to throw his weight around, I think his day's are pretty much numbered. And all this because they were too mean and arrogant to cut Dave a little bit of slack a few years ago. The whole edifice needs to be demolished and replaced with what it is supposed to be a free trade zone, and perhaps a bit of coordination so that Europe can present a cohesive face to the rest of the world.

an@BarkhamPosted December 4, 2020 at 11:07 am | PermalinkSir JohnIt is obvious to even the casual observer that these over blown negotiations have never been about trade, they have never been about mutual cooperation with a neighbour. The whole point has been who rules in the UK, is it our own sort of democratically elected Parliament or is it the EU Commission.Couple that with the desperate need of these people to 'punish' so as to keep everyone in check. It still gets down to the UK must become a colony of the EU. Maybe baby steps for now, ensure the UK cant do anything with out permission and then load the UK with the full overseeing control that has become the Commissions style.Reply?ian@BarkhamPosted December 4, 2020 at 11:13 am | PermalinkThroughout these talks the nastiness and pettiness of the EU Commission has been exposed. Why would anyone want to trade with them or be under their control.Perspective the EU at best affects less than 8% of UK GDP, will that all disappear because of tariffs? I think not. There is more to the UK dynamism than the EU.Turn that around 92% of UK GDP is being held back from having to obey rule from Brussels when they done have any dealings with the EU.The EU is not needed at any level for the UK to be a success.

"BUT Trump has enemies within his own party who weren't prepared to fight the corruption as long as they get rid of him"

Yes that is because he is not a Republican - he is a Democrat. Always has been a Democrat in fact!!!

What many want is a proper Conservative like Ted Cruz, DeSantis(Florida Governor)

If Doris was thinking of a handbrake turn, this statement surely rules it out..




"What is certain is we will not be able agree a deal that doesn't respect our fundamental principles on sovereignty, fishing and control."

They might be free to buy the fishes, but thats not their game, they want to nick the fish...gratis.
