"sourced here in the UK or in another trade-friendly Non-EU country"

What a nonsense! Nutcase.

Need to say this loud and clear.

First, almost everything produced in the EU27 can either be sourced here in the UK or in another trade-friendly Non-EU country

Secondly, 90% of global economic growth is occurring outside the EU

Thirdly, the EU is becoming ever less important.


"Why on earth would we want to cede democracy to an ever increasingly undemocratic federal state that is in terminal decline?????

I can remember when it was over £5..
Yielding 5 % or so, too

Real heroes aren’t they?

LOL

Heroes for hitting little balls and driving cars around a track.

Wonderfully progressing humanity.

There was once a time when real heroes were the icons.

Let's hope UK unemployment figures are good...else we'll have at least 1p knocked off us.

[alphorn] 16/7/2019 09:32

Not completely true. The PPI claim itself was not taxable - only the interest element that was added on top (subject to IR rules).
How much was ever declared is your guess.

[gaffer73] 16/7/2019 09:28

Ppi was taxed, that's why the government were happy

[jordaggy] 16/7/2019 09:21

JPM just knocked 10p off us!

#759. Endowments etc before that - will need something else now. Vehicle finance could be it?

From memory the figures are - endowment pay-outs £25bn (historic £) and PPI £40bn+.

Tailpiece from the online "The Conversation" editors blog . . . .

". Back on Earth, Boris Johnson has been threatening to suspend parliament to force through a no-deal Brexit. Charles I did that and he literally lost his head."

cheshire - you could have been reading that from my thread! That is why I have very large allocations/positions open. Very profitable indeed.

It is amusing to me how the majority on this thread have consistently held opposite views. Poor judgement.
(Now some idiot is going to say that it is all about freedom. Then why do they invest at all?).

Cheshire

If there is no confidence in Boris in parliament he is not likely to get a majority in a GE.

The deluded old white males continue in their forlorn hope quest.

You run a higher risk of getting Corbyn with Boris than you do with Hunt.

You chimps have been warned.

[likeawalrus] 16/7/2019 08:47

I believe the government was very happy to facilitate ppi claims as £34 bn (tax free) straight into consumers pockets over the last few years has been a major factor in keeping the economy going. apparently consuming spending is tanking this year, that could be because ppi is tailing off.

Today's opening looks like someone may know something about the up coming results!

The EU needs us more than we need them.

Sad though.

Best just LEAVE

BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARY

The EU's SatNav system - Galileo

So far the Galileo Project has taken 25 years from initiation in 1994
This EU taxpayer-funded SatNav system is still only 73% complete
The original deadline for completion passed 12 years ago
The budget has rocketed to 7 times the original figure, now £17.5bn
It’s now equivalent to half the entire annual GDP for EU member state Estonia
The project is not projected to complete until 2020
This means 26 years in the making and 13 years after the original deadline
The impact of this
Users including the emergency services have been unable to access the system at all for the past five days. Here is what the EU’s agency wrote about this eventuality, when they were justifying the reason to have the EU’s own GPS system :-

“Just think what would happen if GNSS [GPS] signals were suddenly switched off. Truck and taxi drivers, ship and aircraft crews and millions of people around the world would suddenly be lost. Furthermore, financial and communication activities, public utilities, security and humanitarian operations and emergency services would all come to a standstill.”

Alphorn: Have been reading that weakness in the pound is expected to continue through to the autumn Brexit deadline, which makes a lot of sense.
EU not going to give ground and Boris re-iterating we leave end Oct. come what may. He can't back down from this even if he wanted to, which he doesn't. If he were to, the Tories are finished and we'd have Corbyn, and imagine what that would do for the £.

POTUS Trump tweeted that the space agency should not be focused on the Moon, but instead on Mars, defense, and science. What a doozie! And what if they find Martian intelligent life who would like to settle here on earth? Who will he make pay for a space wall?

The Brexit Party was launched in April 2019 to ensure that the UK leaves the EU – and to change British politics for good.
In June 2016, 17.4m people voted Leave – the biggest democratic mandate in British history. But Brexit has been betrayed by the government and MPs.
We stand for a clean-break Brexit, by the new deadline of 31st October, that will enable us to take control of our laws, borders and money.
This is not only about the EU. It is about what sort of democratic country we live in.
We’re out to challenge the self-serving two-party system, make the people sovereign, and restore trust in our democracy.
