Nigel Farage warns Britain will shut down Paris and Frankfurt = nutcase.

"Well they were bloody well wrong"

Like to know how you make that assumption.

[minerve 2] 06/7/2019 13:02

Straw man argument.

Why should half the country pay for the other half’s fantasy land? The best way forward is to have a “Brexit Tax” placed on those people that voted to Leave. That money would be distributed to “RemainersR21; based upon their income levels before Brexit. This seems only fair.

First, those that voted remain will need to pay several years' arrears of "Euro Tax" for the damage that would have been done had we heeded their demands to join the Euro.

It's funny how utterly shameless these people are. Just as they are absolutely certain that leaving the EU now will be a disaster, they were absolutely certain then that failing to join the Euro would be a disaster. Well they were bloody well wrong. An apology wouldn't go amiss.

Nigel Farage warns Britain will shut down Paris and Frankfurt if Brussels tries bullyboy tactics



James Crisp, Brussels correspondent, in Strasbourg

5 July 2019 • 12:00pm

Paris and Frankfurt could be shut down within a year by Brexit Britain if Brussels tries the same strong-arm tactics on the City of London that it is using on Switzerland’s financial sector, Nigel Farage has warned.

The Brexit Party leader is not intimidated by the EU freezing Swiss stock exchanges out of the bloc’s market on July 1. Bern has retaliated by banning EU stock exchanges from trading Swiss shares, forcing EU traders to go through intermediaries to trade them, which is slower and more expensive.

The European Commission decided to cut out the Swiss in a bid to force them to sign up to a new partnership treaty but also to send Britain a clear message it would not bend on its single...

Neil Davidson, ports analyst at Drewry Shipping Consultants, said it was hard to understand the logic of building freeports in the UK because there was no obvious market for the re-exported goods.

“The obvious places are nearby, which is the EU,” he said. “I can’t see the logic of bringing goods into the UK to do a re-export that would then go to the EU anyway. They’d just go straight to Rotterdam.”


EXACTLY! DUH!

TO ADD:


Where freeports were successful, they depended not just on being free of customs and tariffs, said Mr Davidson.

“It’s about the cost of land and labour and taxation in these places,” said Mr Davidson. Land and labour were both expensive in the UK, while it was unclear what tax breaks there would be for activity in any UK freeport, Mr Davidson added. Companies operating in many freeports worldwide are exempt from corporation tax.


HOW WOULD THAT FIT IN WITH BUSINESS INSIDE THE UK AND HOW WOULD THE EU SEE THAT?

EASIER SAID THAN DONE AND NOT REALLY GOING TO BE EXECUTABLE.

"Send them a quid, get 50p back."

Better than send a quid, get 15p back. LOL

That is why I AM an investment guru. ;)

[gbh2] 06/7/2019 12:36

Problem with these shares is they're so cheap it's easy to sell them off between divi dates.

[maxk] 06/7/2019 12:36

Send them a quid, get 50p back.

Great deal, no wonder you are an investment guru.

"On that sort of reasoning, should we not have a remainer tax if by some chance they pull a fast one and we get stuck?"

You've had 'remainer tax' for many decades and seemingly done well out of it or you wouldn't be here. ;)

[minerve 2] 06/7/2019 12:31

In other words they are charlatans.

"Farage saves the country from the EU failed social experiment".....and the rest of the garbage that he spouts.

I would be very interested to know the extent of bearish GBP allocations/positions that he is holding. Ditto for Mogg etc.
Perhaps the definition of disclosures for conflicts of interest should extend to these individuals. They can influence the market with one sentence.
I would bet that they are not long only GBP.

[maxk] 06/7/2019 12:25

On that sort of reasoning, should we not have a remainer tax if by some chance they pull a fast one and we get stuck?

Good idea, comment in the FT:

This is a key reason why no-deal brexit is enormously dangerous. We are effectively sitting on a debt bubble. Current levels of aggregate demand are unsustainable and any hit to consumer confidence will cause a chain reaction. That is why no deal brexit in the back of a contraction even if it is 1 quarter can have serious consequences. We are effectively in a credit bubble right now and if it pops things will get ugly.
