Sadly too many folk are so comfortable in their long held prejudices that are not amenable to real change. The real problem was Cameron funking his real duty and making Parliament choose the future. Referenda really suck!

Is it true that in 1990 the UK wrote off £ billions of war reparations, due to the UK, to help facilitate the reunification of Germany?

EDIT

This is the link though it is the Express so I do not know how accurate it is

Nationwide

Flex Regular Online Saver
5.00% AER/gross p.a. (variable)

Someone may find this useful. Yesterday I learned that N'Wide is withdrawing the above product, from midnight tomorrow. That hasn't been publicized much.

I had such a saver maturing next week, which I was planning to close (£250 x 12m) and immediately open a replacement, until next April. So I reacted by closing my existing saver online yesterday, waited overnight for the account closing to clear from their system, and this morning I've opened a new saver online, put in £250 and I'm good for another (final) year.

If anyone wants to act similarly, you MUST close your existing saver TODAY and re-open tomorrow, the last day available.

They've been very sneaky, I suppose because they don't want a stampede, if they can avoid it!

"Bring the country together.."I wish the idiots (especially the labour ignorant woman), stop using this sentence, "Bring the country together.."What they mean is to turn over the majority decision of a democratic vote. Someone tell them to f@ck off and stop patronising us all.

Hi,

This board is beginning to look ridiculous. Of course what happens over Brexit has a huge influence on the direction of our economy, trade, value of sterling and the stock market. As investors we should be thinking more about what is likely to happen and how that will impact on the shares we own.

I cannot see us leaving the EU without a deal. Parliament has said it does not want this, the referendum didn't include a no deal Brexit so the people never voted for it either in the referendum or subsequent General Election where Labour's plans did not allow for it.

Unless the EU throw us out it is simply not going to happen. Posters can kick and scream all they like but it would be far more useful if they articulated what they think is going to happen in order to form a view on how shares (particularly LLOY) are going to perform.

To me it looks most likely we are heading for a new referendum and/or the collapse of this Government with a General Election. Depending on the circumstances of that collapse the election would be wide open and anyone (including Corbyn) could win.

Is that what most posters here think is the likely way this political crisis will play out?

willoicc, true unfortunately the remainers can't see this. They think that everyone is our friend and wants to be fair and nice people all the time. They can't see what the single currency has done to the SunMed countries of the EU. Germany is achieving by economic means what they failed to achieve in WW2 and we are about to blow our chance of putting a halt to it. As 5xy says the best thing we can do now is buy British and boycott the EU.

[bbalanjones] 04/4/2019 10:01

willo: Sorry, can't agree with your take. Do you know any German people? Or do you just read the views in our very biased press? Suspicion and doubt lead to poor and unrealistic outcomes.

What it has to do with current issues is that, every day, the EU is turning more and more into the Fourth Reich - ie German domination of Europe.

The appeasers did not listen in the 1930's either.

Lloyds used to trade at over 300m shares a day on average...so some way to go.

[bbalanjones] 04/4/2019 09:51

willo: Pray, what has that got to do with current issues?

[bbalanjones] 04/4/2019 09:48

willo: the reality is only the USA actually HAS. . . MAD has ruled ever since.

How many people think France would ever use nuclear weapons?

f01: Classify her as a temp 'Duck House' Tory then.

ST: Apart from the 40 odd Conservatives who have crossed the floor in voting terms- Teresa is the ONLY other sticking to her guns in any meaningful way. Tough cookie - you better believe it.

[freddie01] 04/4/2019 09:44

It just gets better and better:

Disgraced MP Fiona Onasanya voted for bill to delay Brexit which passed by majority of one

Treating the Electorate with contempt yet again.

I will give you a clue. Who has nuclear weapons?"

France? They're Nukes actually work! :)

willo: Surely you jest - are you forgetting about our great ally draught dodger Donald J Trump?

Millions were murdered in cold blood just 80 years ago in part due to the Jewish people not putting up any sort of fight and even in many cases, helping with the extermination.


I can see some parallels with Brexit. May and Ball are nothing more than present day Sonderkommandos.

Which country 'helped' us in WW2?

RUSSIA.

Who is now a pariah state?

RUSSIA.
