edmundshaw...what argument??
Its not an argument...its a simple question

"Name one single thing that will be brilliant and make a tangible positive benefit to your own personal daily life"...after Brexit?

It is not a trick question

Your post is the silly argument, made because you (or anyone else, mr.elbee) can not think of an answer as to why it will be, or what will be, "brilliant"?

"Brexit will mean an end to Democracy"
Or...
God forbid...there might be a general election and the people might democratically vote in a government that I (you) do not want!!!

Isn't that how democracy works...if you don't deliver on your "promises" you get voted out and the other team gets a shot at it?

If... "The basic business fundamentals are of far more significance...."
Can you please explain why despite those very same business fundamentals, the share price is stuck in the 50p's..?
You might also offer up why the "political landscape"/Brexit is only going to be a "short term impact", since even the super hero Boris is now saying that a crash out of the EU, a "no deal" is to be avoided...that he thinks a better deal can be negotiated, and must be, because failure to get a better deal and crashing out of the EU with out one, will have a negative impact on the British economy, country, and its people's prosperity.
You can argue how bad/not bad..big or small that impact will be, or if it is "manageable"
But there will be a negative impact.
Short term??...well most predict at last 10 year's worth of a negative impact.
So ignoring all the current positive fundamentals...what is going to improve??...long term...short term??

Not a single person can give an example of how they personally will benefit from Brexit in any way?...yes..just call it a stupid question!

"Mental health is top of the pile at the moment."

Really? Is that what they say?

Where is the money going to come from to improve services???

[poikka] 28/6/2019 14:00

I'd happily risk that, max.

[poikka] 28/6/2019 13:59

Don't advertise it, Ladeside!

[maxk] 28/6/2019 13:57

They'd probably like it Poikka.

[alphorn] 28/6/2019 13:54

Ladeside - difficult to get more ignorant than grahamite.

Your descriptions are spot on - to Sopot you can add Palanga; beautiful place.

Difficult to argue with somebody who says "It's a turn up when countries behind the iron curtain". It certainly figures as his posts are locked in a time warp of around 30 years ago. Do these people actually have a vote???

[poikka] 28/6/2019 13:52

CtR - "All traitors to democracy, the country, and the British people should receive a capital punishment."

Hope that that was tongue in cheek, Ruby.

Corporal punishment would be much more fun, degrading for the recipient and avoid martyrdom.

[ladeside] 28/6/2019 13:35

I'm not meaning to sound patronising here graham but the likes of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia etc are more like Austria and Germany in terms of architecture and outlook to life etc. It shouldn't be forgotten that they were in fact all parts of each others countries / kingdoms throughout most of history with the exception of 40 or 50 years in the 20th century.

I often think that our generations still have this idea of the former Eastern Bloc countries still being communist and all being dark and grey full of poor people who only have the basics.

This couldn't be further from the truth, although in the defence of people, our government certainly doesn't do anything to dispel this myth and in fact actively promotes it.

Another thing is our travel industry, not many people in this country would think to go a summer beach holiday to the likes of Sopot in Poland, however I can confirm that it's a fantastic place for a holiday, has great weather at this time of year, has an abundance of beautiful shops, bars & restaurants and in fact was known as the Monte Carlo of Northern Europe, however for whatever reason the British market appears to be completely unaware, despite them having many top chain Hotels such as Marriott, Sheraton, Hilton & Sofitel all present in the town and of course during our summer holidays the prices are a fraction of what you'd pay in Southern Europe for a poorer product.

What can I say, ignorance isn't always bliss..................

[grahamite2] 28/6/2019 13:17

It's a turn up when countries behind the iron curtain are bastions of free speech.

And it's one of those many cases where both parties are as bad as one another, which makes a mockery of democracy.

Perhaps a PM who is a journalist as well as a politician will have some sort of commitment to free speech? I'm not holding my breath but you never know!

"alex162128 Jun '19 - 07:13 - 263027 of 263044
I think those that voted Brexit deserve a prime minister who makes buses out of egg boxes"

And I think all those whiney Remoaners who are unwilling to accept the democratic election process should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

All traitors to democracy, the country, and the British people should receive a capital punishment.

LADESIDE = info-phobic

[10acious] 28/6/2019 12:04

A point well made and understood, my view is more long term. The basic business fundamentals are of far more significance.... today's political landscape and its short term impact is hardly worth the energy being spent on it.AIMO.

[grahamite2] 28/6/2019 11:56

If only the Met had Boris's water cannon they could deal with the thugs planning to disrupt Wimbledon.

[alex1621] 28/6/2019 11:47

Correct, but near term Lloyd's will be impacted by how Brexit develops. My tuppence worth is that a deal will be very positive for the SP, and no deal very negative. I don't believe there is any other factor which is more significant currently.

[10acious] 28/6/2019 11:42

Listen to them twitter on about Brexit when they can't even grasp the simple basic principle of an ON TOPIC ONLY LLOYDS thread!
