Lots of the young voted leave careful. It's just that they were afraid to say so.

Are you sure you are authoritative enough to judge everyone who doesn't see things your way 'old and ignorant'?

I bet you don't even have a useless polytechnic degree.

Ever thought that your ignorance, and misplace superiority complex, is completely given away by your parrot reproduction of 'everyone who voted how i didn't is northern, old and stupid'.

I'm afraid such views put you well cemented to the stupid category Careful.

My thouight are ,The Germans generally have the mentality to bully everyone else.The French throughout our history have been our enemies . I have German friends and they do like to boss in a nice way though.As Churchhill said 'The Germans are either at your throat or your feet.
Ever been on a cruise with lots of Germans onboard? Books or towels on sunbeds overnight.
Quite a number of EU countries have tried to defeat Britain in the past, the Dutch were successful for a short time being one.
The reason Heath wanted to be part of the EU political union and why he gave our fishing waters away to achieve this, that wars would be unlikely if we had a common parliament overseeing any conflictial differences.
But imo it isn't working as it has become corrupt and Germany by far has the most influence hence they almost bankrupt Greece and made a fortune in the process.

Perhaps we have't moved on from days of yore when the "Yellow Peril" fear was the manipulated norm.

This time round it will be the Biological "Ghengis Khan" in the form of the Coronavirus.

careful: Sadly falls on 'deaf' ears. Agree we must plough on in spite though.

We are entering a new era post Brexit to be sure.

Our economy is one of the strongest in the World, thanks to the many sweetheart deals had with the EU.
Finance, aerospace, defence equipment, Pharma, food processing and motor cars come to mind.

The Brexit debate is over now we must get on with it.
The elderly northern working class voters who made it happen can live out their years of retirement dreaming of the dam busters, battle of Britain and the battle of Trafalgar.

Britain is not the one they remember, go down any town centre and we have become a multi cultural, multi ethnic and multi faith society. Some would argue that this has 'enriched' our society and a tribute to our tolerance etc.

Farage exploited this nostalgia to play on the old stereotypes of beastly Germans and foreigners.
He played them like a fiddle.

we shall see how we cope alone, having struggled throughout our history to get by without making alliances with others.

Trump, Boris and the USA are the biggest threats to our freedom and desire to 'take back control'.

You lost, get over it.We're entering a new age where you moaning liberal lefties and your political correctness will soon be left behind by a confident and prosperous self-governing UK.

scruff, it was more a case of obtaining cheap gfrd shares than worrying about my loss here.

[scruff1] 25/2/2020 08:56

Tend to agree gbh. Gonna be too long for me for this to recover. Now is not the time to jump though - I think !

I read all the comments and see little reality or Competent promise from the UK Politics . it has taken them some four years plus to reach this current position . Which is a massive compromise from the Cake and eat it days . Already Boris is saying we will need to renege on agreements already made . Sorry folks I lied . And such as HS2 point massively to the competence and ability of government . The UK under Boris will take what is best for him and the regime of chlorinated chicken is on the way . Such as Tesla announce mega modern new car plants in Germany, as Branson builds his fleet of new cruise liners in Italy and registers them in the Bahamas . Bombardier sells out to Airbus and Alstom . The mega Promises of BJ have so far failed to move forward one inch . 40 new hospitals , more nurses , more Police. Who will pay for any give away budget Council tax up. A real chance of energy price rises . And the sounds from Boris move the HOL to York , move the treasury north . What has hapenned to the UK infrastructure , Its shipbuilding , its automotive plants , its health service and healthcare . That is so far behind much of Europe .
The Politicians promise and renege on most or call it a U turn . Competence and ability is lacking . If you rate Boris , then that is your choice . Most of his Cabinet are followers who are self interested in themselves and their Politics .

I shifted 20k from this into GFRD at the open, now wishing I'd moved more, this is dead in the water thanks imo to Hedge Funds traders.

A bit worrying that Boris talking about having 'red lines'. May had these too and backtracked leaving her with a WA that wasn't good enough.
Re: the negotiators, we need some hard nuts who won't take carp from Barnier and his crew. Recruit them from Yorkshire instead of the Oxbridge crew with plums in their mouths. Better still, just walk away and de-risk.
Haven't heard David Frost but Farage rated his recent speech, so good enough for me.

Bit of a rally early on, sucker's rally?

[mitchy] 25/2/2020 07:56

My guess for today is they'll open red but turn blue. Let's see if I'm right.

Upcoming Brexit Negotiations: Over the next fortnight, Boris Johnson and his government will set out the UK's 'red line' demands ahead of negotiations. With both sides set to remain firm on their demands, Britain is ramping up preparations for trade deals elsewhere. Boris is expected to push back against the US demands for its drug companies to have more access to British markets and for its chlorine treated chicken to be imported. Ahead of the upcoming Brexit trade negotiations, Iain Duncan-Smith has said that he believes the UK may have problems negotiating with the EU due to the "quality of the people now working on this." Despite praising Chief Negotiator David Frost, he issued a warning about the inexperience of the team around him in comparison with the EU.Our Chairman Shanker Singham was on TalkRadio this morning, debunking the idea that if the UK does not have regulatory alignment with the EU then standards will drop. He said "All modern trade agreements say that you will not lower standards in order to seek trade advantage and I am sure that is perfectly acceptable for the UK side."EU officials are continuing to discuss their approach to trade negotiations with Britain today, before it is signed off on by the EU27 ministers tomorrow. An original draft that circulated earlier this month outlined the demands for the UK to be in line with the EU's rules and regulations around the environment, labour and state aid. The UK has already slammed these demands as unacceptable.. Troubles at the Home Office: The civil war inside the Home Office has reached boiling point as Priti Patel has demanded an inquiry into 'hostile briefings' against her from inside her department. Claims emerged that MI5 do not trust her, however, security sources yesterday said this was "simply untrue". British Industry: Pro-EU and big business lobbyist group, The Confederation of British Industry, have urged Boris Johnson to secure a deal that includes services industries such as finance, however they also accepted that we will no longer be a part of the customs union and changes needed to be made. There was also agreement that Britain can seize new opportunities by becoming involved in emerging markets and technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing.The EU has set out its approach for regulating artificial intelligence in a new white paper. It consists of strict regulation in contrast with the United States who have deliberately made sure to not 'needlessly' get in the way of innovation. Marc Warner, chief executive and co-founder of AI company Faculty, has said the UK should "not be late to the party" to ensure we are heavily involved in the growing industry for decades to come.On our site: Writing for us today is independent economist, Julian Jessop, who writes on how the economic forecasts that came post-referendum, were all too pessimistic about the future of the UK's economy.Stewart Jackson, former Conservative MP and special advisor to David Davis, has written a piece which looks at the new points-based immigration policy and how it will improve the lives of the poorest in society.For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

70m shares is a drop in the ocean to share already issued which stand at 70 billion.

[m4rtinu] 25/2/2020 07:51

If the shares fall much further, might be cheaper to burn them to keep warm :)

[mitchy] 25/2/2020 07:48

How much will 70 million new shares dilute the value of our shares ?
