Post of the day.. No..make that, of the thread!

"Not worth shorting it on a day to day basis for fractions of a penny"

[blueclyde] 05/7/2019 19:47

I suspect the shorters will run for cover at the end of the month when they announce the additional capital distribution as there is too much additional capital on the books. The best way to do this would be a special dividend. Buy backs appear to be having zero impact.

Not worth shorting it on a day to day basis for fractions of a penny imo.

Most of the numpties will die off over the next decade. A self-correcting mechanism for the Thatcher kid numpties.

Major telling the chimps how it is. Good guy.

[careful] 05/7/2019 19:20

I hope that above is all true.
All's well that ends well.

Self harm is a modern problem, we remainers must stop the electorate self harming the countries future.

An oater of a story, but one of the comments rang true:

Jennifer it should be painfully obvious to you what is going on.

The Tory party is a REMAIN party. I don't know if you've noticed that over the last 3 years?

They failed to stop Brexit with May and now they are putting up Boris. He is simply plan B.

The plan is most likely that Boris wins, he holds a general election on the promise he will leave the EU. The Tories will say they will leave. You vote for the Tories again and then they depose Boris and replace him with another remainer after winning the GE. Or Boris will simply change hims mind, like May.

Now the Tories have another 5 years to stop Brexit and you can't do anything.

What you should do, is ignore Boris, ignore the Tories and when they hold a GE, vote for the Brexit party.

But that's not what you're going to do, you're going to believe in Boris and the Tories and you're going to destroy Brexit.

Once Boris gets this PM vote out of the way, and remember who he is trying to get to vote for him,
Then he will get a sensible deal through parliament.

Boris will not be thinking about no deal, he is not crazy, but he has to get some extremist to vote for him first.

I think he will deliver a deal and sell it in parliament.

May could never do that.

[careful] 05/7/2019 18:39

I was trying to estimate the numbers in favour of no deal.

My guess is about 8m max out of 46m voters.

Most leavers want a deal, most voted for a deal after the campaign and its promises.
Most remainers accept leaving and Brexit, but wish to retain close ties and the softest possible Brexit.

So my numbers are;Today

46m voters.

8m leave with no deal.
26m remain or leave with a soft close deal.
12 never bother to vote.

I think the bananas were laced!


ROFLMAO!

Evidence chimp?

[grahamite2] 05/7/2019 18:29

It's now about 67% for leave as people have got more and more disgusted at the dishonesty and deception of MPs and the EU.

[careful] 05/7/2019 18:29

I think we shall end up with a deal not much different from Mays, and this time it will pass.

Boris will get it through and the ERG will behave, no where for them to go.

The backstop was only an insurance policy in the event of not agreeing a free trade deal.

The objections to may's deal were just excuses to get rid of her, after her snap election and her inept handling of it, she was doomed. letting Corbyn out of his box was unforgivable.

Job done.
The £ and the market in UK based shares will surge if such a deal was passed.

It was the singer not the song.

[careful] 05/7/2019 18:21

I thought the consensus of the polls was now for 56% remain.

I know, the polls could be wrong it could be much more than that, or even less, the polls have been wrong before...etc.

Simple demographics mean that over 2m older voters have died and over 2m younger voters are now able to vote.
..then there are those who have changed their mind now they see the chaos.

[newbank] 05/7/2019 17:59

bargainbob,

a snap referendum would only deliver the same result as last time.

I know you don't want to hear it, and I guess life hasn't been kind to you in terms of finding work in Scotland when you wanted it. However, there are many Scots who would rather die than leave the Union and they believe, not my words but theirs, that Surgeon is egotistical and has a high opinion of herself, a self of importance, believing she is a Prime Minister of a Country when in reality she is on par with a County Council Leader, herself unelected.

If Scotland were ever to obtain Independence there will be far less work as many Scottish Industries owned by British and American Companies will distance themselves from a utopia that doesn't exist.

May had no vision. Just a Creep in the Dark.

Why do we want to have alternate worlds? It's a way of making progress. You have to imagine something before you do it.

Out of the Cuckoo's Nest.

Mad.

Of course she would have to be a socialist.

Numpty.
