Better to have 90 per cent fresh water than nowt lol.
hernandO2, Ps water already goes to England . Please do a little research . The one thing that irritates me most about people on this board as they say things with no attempt at research .

Scotland, in simple terms, is a water-rich nation whereas England is not. Loch Ness, one of Scotland's 27,000 freshwater lochs, contains more water than all rivers and lakes in England and Wales combined. ... This would allow for the transfer of water from Scotland's rich supply to England's water-stressed areas.26 Mar 2019

From the media....


Hundreds of foreign motorists have been allowed to speed on Britain's roads with impunity because police cannot trace the drivers of vehicles from abroad, a constabulary has admitted.

A loophole in European laws has meant that a total of 400 motorists from mainland Europe have escaped prosecution despite their cars being photographed breaking the legal speed limit by enforcement cameras on the M20 in Kent.

Damian Green, the local MP, and the RAC Foundation have condemned the inability to prosecute dangerous foreign drivers claiming it sends the wrong message to motorists visiting the UK.

The contraflow on the M20 was imposed for a seven-week period between April and the end of May as part of Brexit contingency plans.

Traffic was reduced to two lanes and a 50mph speed imposed on the London-bound carriageway.

While more than 900 British drivers were given £100 fines for exceeding the limit, 400 foreign motorists caught by the cameras escaped a fine or prosecution.

The 39 billion agreed exit fee is to pay for the EMA (single marketing authorization for new medicines), administrative redundancies, pensions, compensation for cancellations of long lease buildings, govt contracts, standardization & CE quality/safety control labs, percentage of a massive department of (would you believe) visa and immigration control with state of the art electronic equipment in a brand new head quarter building. First to be hit come 2021, will be the US who have enjoyed non visa unlimited stay! Disentangling one's self from the EU experiment after 46 years does not come cheap and legally committed to stump up!
Boris believers think they can get out scot-free! We're on our way out at last, but let us do it with dignity and say "Thanks for the memories"! We'll still trade, but with freedom and not as directed by a club with rules that we're not comfortable with!

Lib Dems working on plan to topple Conservative government and install senior Labour MP in Number 10


Graham Boyd 26 Jun 2019 10:04PM

You know we are nearing the end when the plots to thwart a democratic vote become ever more bizarre.


Martin Lloyd 26 Jun 2019 10:09P

I agree. You have to wonder what mind altering drugs these remoaners are taking. Another day, another madcap remoaner plot emerges. Next!

I hadn't posted since before lunch. I have been out all afternoon.

You are suffering from what psychologists would call 'attentional bias'.

[patientcapital] 26/6/2019 22:00

The Bs for you :)

[robwt] 26/6/2019 21:57

Nearly 10 o clock Minerve and you are still posting, you surely are addicted to posting here like a 12 year old addicted to 'Fortnite'.

So many sick posts today and still going even though nobody is taking any notice of the 'same old' stuff but me!

I worry for your sanity. You really do need help, try and face the fact that you are not well.

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 21:52

He is one for you MM2. I know you like gays.

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 21:47

Oh yes, the blue rinse brigade can't handle black skin.

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 21:46

So more millions squandered on No Brexit preparations.

What are we leaving the EU for again? I forgot.

ROFLMAO!

Gatt 24 and free trade

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 22, 2019

The Governor of the Bank of England tells us we cannot escape tariffs by offering to negotiate a free trade agreement. If the EU agrees to free trade talks as we leave the EU then we can.

Gatt is a Treaty designed to promote ever freer trade. Article 24 allows members of Gatt – now the WTO – to negotiate free trade agreements with each other that go further than the trade liberalisation and tariff reduction offered to all other members by the states concerned. The two states must not seek to raise barriers with others as a result of proposing a Free Trade Agreement between themselves. The aim “should be to facilitate trade between the constituent territories and not to raise barriers to the trade of other contracting parties with such countries”

The only requirement to gain GATT approval for having no tariffs on each other’s trade whilst in negotiation is that the two states or customs unions must agree ” a plan and a schedule for the foundation of such a free trade area within a reasonable length of time”.

Scritti Politti - Absolute

[minerve 2] 26/6/2019 21:21

Pithy commentary as usual, but what I am missing is any sense of outrage that at a time of national crisis, for the second time in three years the country will get a new PM chosen by a thoroughly unrepresentative few. We seem enthralled by all the tactical politicking, late-night domestics and similar and happy to follow the story at that level but miss the bigger picture of a huge democrat deficit.

It seems that this attitude is not confined to the FT readership but is widespread across the country and particularly the media, who just love reporting on the contest rather than what's at stake.

You have to chuckle at the Scottish slogan...my question and how much cash does this raise?

Let’s see you sell that water...who owns the forests...what percentage of the uk’s total energy usage is Scottish oil...

Wee krankie resisted using her tax raising powers for about 8years if my memory is working, now don’t be a higher rate tax payer up there if you can avoid it,,,

Scotland with the highest percentage of early deaths due to drink and drugs, to be fair it has the best heart attack unit in the uk....plenty of practice

Waldron - "JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION IF YOU CAN"

Unbelievable - you only need to type in TM and £39bn to find out all you need to know. You know that, I know that, Sarkasm knows it.
