Well if McDonnell does become chancellor the Brexit idiots are to blame and so are the current Tory buffoons. You'll get what you deserve.


LOL

So if John McDonnell is correct in his weekend prediction that he would be the first UK Socialist Chancellor........Poverty for the many not just the few!

The Trump administration has been labelled "inept", insecure and incompetent in leaked emails from the UK ambassador to Washington. - BBC

Yes, I'm afraid so. All because he is wealthy doesn't make him a good businessman or statesman. Sometimes being wealthy is just down to being lucky and/or being a bully boy.

Long one from the graun, no mention of the labour party tearing itself apart.

Observer editorial


Boris Johnson will be given the keys to Downing Street as the principles of conserving the union and fiscal responsibility are sacrificed for Brexit

Some posters here are like Ivanka at the G20: uninvited, a deranged sense of entitlement, a deranged sense of ability to contribute, destructing collective knowledge rather than augmenting it.

The internet is the great leveller but rather than being this utopia that improves communication, opportunity to improve oneself, removing elitism to education etc.. it has gone the other way. It has become a race to the bottom, a conduit for lies, destroyed democracy, empowered the wrong corporations, and if it isn't regulated better in the future, will destroy humanity as we know it. Populism and the rise of the demagogues is purely a result of the internet IMO.

The EU are now blaming Boris for decades of poisoning the minds of British people against the EU and its aim of a federal Europe. Undoubtedly, that's true, and thank you Boris for highlighting what I see as the threat of that federalism. Boris can be thanked as much as Nigel for kicking off our leaving process.

The EU leaders had an opportunity, and would have been more than one if it weren't for their love of inflexible treaties, but they chose the route of federalism and ignored the opportunities that a looser structure would have brought.

A few, mostly men, with a vision that was and is deeply flawed and is being pushed long, long before European nations could hope to be ready to accept the idea.

Now they in Brussels, and the people of Europe, continue to struggle with the fallout.

Good luck to them, but it's not for me.

Those who relaunch Project Fear aim to damage our country

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 7, 2019

Only if the EU believes we are leaving on October 31 without signing the Withdrawal Agreement do we have a reasonable chance of leaving tariff free.

The new PM needs to tell the EU we are leaving, but we would be happy to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement after departure allowing the EU continued access to us tariff free and for us to them. All they need to do is agree talks.

The peddlers of false Project Fear forecasts clearly want to stop us getting such an agreement.

"Insider trading is victimless and shouldn't be a crime"

Honestly, what a stupid, stupid view. Of course there are victims. Idiot.

That's good, because after three years of spectacular failure under Theresa May, you are being given one chance and one only.

Fail, and it's the Brexit Party.

If Boris doesn’t deliver Brexit properly by 31 October the Tories are finished and the Brexit Party will do it.

Farage has:

Got us an EU Referendum

Won an EU Referendum

Got rid of two Tory remain pms and he will dispatch a failed Boris too.

Shone a spotlight on the absolute corruption of the two party system to the extent it is now collapsing

Shone a spotlight on the role of globalists in aiming to destroy the U.K. as a sovereign, democratic nation state.

So Boris, you know what’ll happen if you do not deliver.

Insider trading is victimless and shouldn't be a crime.

[minerve 2] 06/7/2019 21:57

Farage is already in the purse of Banks. Not a position we expect from anyone who may look to influence top UK politics.

Scum.

[minerve 2] 06/7/2019 21:55

“In any event I think that Farage and Mogg are above that sort of thing.”

You are joking. If not, you are even more stupid than I thought.

[cheshire pete] 06/7/2019 21:51

Alphorn: #899, no problem, my misunderstanding. Seems that the Swiss guy's wife you mention may have been acting on inside info, clearly naughty these days. I do recall though Sir Martin Jacomb ex Barclays saying along lines that insider trading was in his view a 'victimless crime', though not everyone agreed with his reasoning.
Although the likes of Farage and Mogg being high profile may in theory be able to exploit their situations, I thought that politicians were required to invest in 'blind' trusts to avoid any accusations of conflict of interest or is that above a certain level/office. In any event I think that Farage and Mogg are above that sort of thing.

Re: #903: "I did mention that you could turn your hedges (foreign earners) into real gains if you tweaked a bit.", .....do you have the post no. still please so I can look it up and refresh? Never too late to learn.

"Yes, but they are entitled to their delusions."

Absofugginglutely, I am a democratic Tory voter (mostly).
