It was not the USA that started WW1 and WW2.

In WW2 the UK was in serious jeopardy. German u-boats were doing their best to sink as many Allied ships as possible in order to starve the British people into submission. Really nice people the Germans.

Mr. Henry Ford refused to manufacture war supplies for the UK because he was an isolationist who was determined that the USA would not get sucked into another European war after their experience during WW1. (That is for all the people who buy Fords).

Fortunately for us, Japan thought that the USA was militarily weak and they attacked Pearl Harbour.

That resulted in the USA going to war with Japan and then with Germany.

The US stepped up war production and were soon producing vast amounts of arms. Gradually the war in Europe was turned in our favour.

If it had not been for the USA everyone on here would probably be speaking German with a jack-booted supervisor cracking the whip.

The trouble is that there are so many on here who would probably relish that situation.

Lets import lots of Teslas' and all the German car buyers can then say they buy German cars because Teslas are rubbish.

If they are not desperate times then there is no need to leave the EU is there.

Still waiting for a good rationale argument on the need to leave.

Great strength from the black horse today.

[patientcapital] 15/8/2019 14:06

These aren't desperate times and the hyped up talk of cliffs, crises and catastrophes is misplaced. The wordsmiths at Westminster are simply stirring aided and abetted by the media. It's August and silly season is in full swing.

Ladeside it's the Unions and the Labour party that got us here. As I said earlier had May's deal been a Corbyn deal most Labour MPs would have backed it. If you play political games...Hillary Benn, Mrs. Balls, Lady Nugee then you get what you deserve voting for seizing Power as opposed to a sensible compromise. May moved a mile, Labour didn't move an inch they played poker for Power.
As Rory Stewart said there was virtually no difference in the two parties. Instead we got Starmer acting like a complete p$$k and acting like May's deal was the end of the world.

Desperate times call for desperate measures Patient.

Who knows, quite often in our darkest of times is when a hero steps forward to be counted..........

[patientcapital] 15/8/2019 13:05

Back to the horrible seventies. At least I've still got the candles!

[ladeside] 15/8/2019 12:51

What the country needs to do is mobilise the Unions and basically if they DID attempt to circumvent democracy by proroguing parliament then coordinated National strikes should be called.

The very fact people are even discussing this just shows the state this country is in.

For all intents and purposes we are becoming a dictatorship and I don't understand how more of you can't see this.

What's even worse, is that the USA are the ones working the strings, Christ, what a bloody mess...........

Oh dear, when will these people learn...No one cares
The British can live off pizza’s and KFC (from Taiwan)

“our biggest market, the EU”

No deal would put more than half of farms out of business.

More than half of British farms “could go out of business” if the UK leaves the EU without a Brexit deal, a leading farming expert has warned.

The former chief economist at the National Farmers’ Union, warned of a perfect storm of new barriers to selling in Europe, new competition at home from around the world and loss of subsidies could decimate many farms.

More than 40% of UK farms would be running at a loss without subsidies known as the ‘basic payment’, if at the same time, the Government removes all tariffs and so depresses prices, these two factors combined will render over 50% of farms in this country unviable.

The government would not be able to fulfil all its promises to compensate various affected sectors, making the chances of full compensation “remote” for farmers.

British farmers will be caught between increased competition from third countries importing produce to the UK, and increased difficulty and cost when exporting to our biggest market, the EU, he added.

Free trade agreements to reduce those barriers will take many years to negotiate.

Coupled with the loss of the basic payment scheme of support payments by 2022, the driving down of farm revenues means that more than half of farms could go out of business.


Liars...

The government’s own budget watchdog has said Britain could be plunged into recession, soaring unemployment, prices and government debt while business investment, house prices and real wages could slump.

alphorn

so why are they talking about taking the legal challenge to the ecj about what happens in proroguing our parliament.
its a known fact that they have a political leaning to their eu masters.

its none of their business..

Another proper investor who knows for sure that LLOY is going to go up, but had no idea they were going to go down?

...............................................................................

The aptly named smartypants. No, I had no idea they were going down and I doubt that you did either. Nor have I any idea when they are going up short term. None of us have any real idea where anything is going today, tomorrow or next week, there are too many events which are out of our control and which we don't know about. Short term you buy a share and you don't know whether it is going up, down, sideways or standing on it's head. Long term it's different. You can have an opinion that a share is under valued by the market on the basis of income, ending of PPI in Lloyds case, yield, dividend cover,competent management etc. In my view, but obviously not in yours, LLOY qualifies for a place in a long term portfolio and is a keeper.

Just don't over buy on margin, they may go down more in the political turmoil which will be September, in which case I will buy some more paid up shares.

I have no intention of arguing with you smarty, I see nothing in your posts which makes me respect your opinion, so I have filtered you.

Germans are more intelligent than Brits, sad but true.

[vauch] 15/8/2019 12:01

Don't be deluded all countries are out for their own gains apart from Germany they are out to dominate all of Europe and seem to have most of it.

Sarah Wollaston needs to call a byelection
As do all the other traitorous fokkers.

I am in support for nationalising some utilities but they have to pay market price like everyone else.

[ladeside] 15/8/2019 11:23

The problem is that many "brits" see the EU as a competitor / adversary as opposed to them themselves being part of the EU.

That's what happens when you get your knowledge and understanding from the Daily Mail & Express I'm afraid............

[stewart64] 15/8/2019 10:54

Minerve2 Corbyn is doing his bit for global warming too. I see Trig again on the ropes today.New Renewable investment almost ground to a halt on fears of McStalin Windfarm grab at sub nav.

[careful] 15/8/2019 10:53

xxxxxy
congrats.
that is the first accurate sensible post you have ever made.

of course the eu is a self interested protectionist block.
Benefits are for members only.
'If you want to sell cars here then build them here'

Hence Nissan Toyota and many more.

The US are the LAST people you would be wanting to rely on.

We're screwed..........

[alphorn] 15/8/2019 10:35

Careful - there is no win/win with the US.

Only idiots believe that it is the same culture because of the language.
