The trouble Labour (and the Democrats) have is that the working man simply isn't poor and downtrodden any more. Tell a working man of the 30s his great grandson would have his own car, probably his own house, would go abroad every year and quite likely more than once a year, would have his own private cinema etc and he wouldn't have believed you.

So the Parties of the left had to reinvent themselves as the Parties of cranks and weirdos, of the unemployable and of minorities. These groups are almost by definition a minority. The amazing thing is that these Parties have lasted as long as they have.

I am just glad Bliar and Major stuck their head above the parapet and sealed the deal, I wonder how many extra votes that got the Torys. Those two are the Torys secret weapons. Oh not forgetting Tarzan, another vote winner.

He didn't know about when or why Labour had biggest majority. He is a loud mouthed thicky . A blagger of bluff and wing.

EU negotiationsBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 10, 2020There is one simple rule for UK negotiators seeking a Free Trade Deal with the EU. We do not need to pay to trade. We do not need to accept restrictions and controls on our conduct in order to buy imports from the EU, any more than the USA or Canada or Japan do.A Free Trade deal is of great benefit to the EU, giving them privileged access to our large and lucrative market for their food and goods. They have promised one in the signed Political Declaration. They know what an FTA looks like, having recently signed ones with Canada and Japan.I trust the UK negotiators will table a draft FTA based on the best of Japan and Canada with suggested improvements given our tariff free starting point.We need to take back control of our fish. They should not be offered up as a further sacrifice to secure a Free Trade Agreement.There is no need for the negotiations to take longer than this year if there is good will on both sides. The UK can show its good will by tabling the proposal soon. If the EU is decent and wants to keep its word all will be well.

Think this guy has an agenda, seems to be getting the limelight lately, looks a bit thuggish. Min will like him.

"Pays well but mums a bit of a bossy cow."

Class grammar.

Farmer Jacko no doubt was the top dealership for Robin Reliant in the UK before he became a republician.

[grahamite2] 10/1/2020 15:11

As one car magazine used to say of the Reliant Robin, Pros: cheap Cons: what price your neck?

Makes me think of Millport Bob.

Happy New Year, just back from Canada, been doing a bit of baby sitting. Pays well but mums a bit of a bossy cow.

Hey Min I see you have been over flowing with good wishes for everyone and hoping they get cancer. Class act pal, class act.

I recall seeing someone at Bath University rolling a Sinclair C5 in the precinct area , the look on the lecturers faces was priceless.

Only lack of access stops them imo.

I decided to replace the battery once on my Ferrari V12 Berlinetta - for a bit of fun. It pretty much took me all day as I had to dissemble various bits and pieces in the engine bay and I didn't want to scratch the limited edition c £230K car.

Have you still got it?

[grahamite2] 10/1/2020 14:21

It has all changed since, but those with the funds back then didn't have to be super smart to make a shed load of dough!

Ah, the good old days! A friend of mine who was a stockbroker before he retired once found an old letter in his desk at work. It was addressed to a good client and said, I just had lunch with the FD of XYZ. He told me the results to be announced next week are going to be far better than expected, so I've bought you a large parcel.

h/t to BoB on the JTC thread






No doubt will cheer Alp up no end..

[alphorn] 10/1/2020 13:52

Some positions but too early days yet. I think that Boris is a prat but it is dangerous to listen to emotions. That is why I read grahamite et al to tell me that BJ is the best thing since sliced bread. Lol

[alphorn] 10/1/2020 13:47

Jacko - now how about my post of going forward? ;)

Could go down in history as the 'Black Beauty thread of ADVFN' breaks the B of E. ;)))

[jacko07] 10/1/2020 13:43

Now if you believe that the end game will be a no deal on 31 Dec then there are millions to be made. ;)))

Alp..There will be many hedges going on against there being a 'no deal'.

It is all above my pay grade, but Good Luck if you are playing!
