gnr - can't agree with you. IMO there will be no delay to 'Exit'.

Too many emotions at play to allow any U turn. The pieces will be picked up later. The question will be 'how big are the pieces'?

I would not be so bearish if I thought that there would be a delay. Money and mouth etc.

[mr.elbee] 28/5/2020 09:40

you still havent explained what YOU would have done if you had been in Cummings' situation.

And you wont...because there is no reasonable alternative to what he did.

But good socialists/marxists/scientists dont believe in the family.

silly me!

[pierre oreilly] 28/5/2020 09:36

pob, i'm going on data i consider indicative and reliable, not what i would like the data to be. Anyway, enough from me for now.

[mr.elbee] 28/5/2020 09:36

and Parliamentary tories are the problem.Surely you know that over Brexit?. Boris had to sack loads of them. they have no values and just see the party as an employment bureau for sons of gentlemen.

[pierre oreilly] 28/5/2020 09:34

(5315, before the edit!)

I'm not getting into that, it's been done to death. You are welcome to your opinion obviously, but the problem is that many tories hold a different opinion.

[pooroldboy55] 28/5/2020 09:34

PO your coming over with you know what everyone thinks again i know many tory voters and not one of them would agree with you.

[mr.elbee] 28/5/2020 09:31

what actions are you talking about?

He did nothing any of us would not have done in the same circumstances..He looked after his family in a very responsible way. and totally legally
Just what would you have had him do instead?

the surveys are not the way I want this,or any other ,country run. Do you want mob rule then?

against the Jews in Germany? against blacks in the Southern States. what is the difference?

None of this fuss computes.

at all..It just shows that the UK is now

UNGOVERNABLE

[pierre oreilly] 28/5/2020 09:30

As i said before, if/when he's gone (assuming boris survives) I'd hope boris would keep consulting him somehow.

[pierre oreilly] 28/5/2020 09:29

Yes, he played his part and he's a big asset. But his actions are a bigger liablility imv (and many many more people's). Have you see the surveys? (yes, i know, they can be biased)

[mr.elbee] 28/5/2020 09:27

explain please,Pierre..
Cummings saved this country from Corbyn.
What's not to like?

[pierre oreilly] 28/5/2020 09:26

why do you think it's labour (solely) who want them out?. Of course they do but that is irrelevant. It's the growing number of tories who want cummings out. Take a referendum now and you'd see what democracy says about cummings. That's exactly why boris is playing such a dangerous game. The danger isn't from the press (or at least no more so than usual), or labour (ditto) it's from tories (right thinking tories at that imo). Long term, if cummings survives, it's extremely bad for the tories.

Alp...enjoying my steaming hot Orange Pekoe!
One hasn't to imitate his behaviour to follow his instructions
Just another diversionary tactic to delay Brexit.

[mr.elbee] 28/5/2020 09:17

Yep ,Pierre,and the labour doctors will have won and the democratically expressed wishes of the electorate overruled by a howling,ignorant, angry media led mob

Makes you proud to be British eh?

[alphorn] 28/5/2020 09:16

max - as we have discussed before we need to know who owns the licences etc. Takes 10mins to set up a UK subsidiary and bingo it is British. (That is no different to the Euro subsidiaries of UK groups). Business will level the playing fields later.

[maxk] 28/5/2020 09:10

So what do the €uro's see in fishing? Risk the lot for minutiae?

[alphorn] 28/5/2020 08:59

Fishing is minutiae in economic terms - huge in emotional terms.

Dwarfed by illegal drugs and prostitution as I have posted before.

It is a very bad sign when emotions overrule the reality.

[pierre oreilly] 28/5/2020 08:57

I'm afraid it's a case of keep your nose on to spite your face.

I think we've passed the best option, so now we move onto the second worst, which is boris plus dom going. Not what i want, but what i think has a high chance of happening (Can anyone else at all separate what they want to happen and what they think will happen, or are the two always exactly the same)?

Boris is ignoring the tory anger from tory voters and tory mps, and that is very high risk.

UK's chief Brexit negotiator admits fishing deal is unlikely by July deadline

Failure to reach a deal could harden EU attitudes at a time when the bloc’s leaders are consumed by the coronavirus pandemic

Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator said it was unlikely that Britain and the EU would finalise a fisheries agreement by a July deadline on Wednesday, as Michel Barnier offered UK opposition parties an extension of up to two years on the transition period.

“I am beginning to think we might not make it by the 30th of June,” David Frost told MPs on parliament’s Brexit scrutiny committee the week before the next round of negotiations with the EU.

“We don’t regard fisheries as something that can be traded for any other bits of the negotiation. There is something very important happening at the end of the year which is that we get back control of our own waters,” he said

“Any agreements have simply got to accommodate that reality,” Boris Johnson’s top Brexit official said, as he described the divisions over the issue between the two sides....

Good morning all, and a lovely morning it is, not to mention a nice start to the day with share price on the move up.

[alphorn] 28/5/2020 08:44

gnr - "Go ahead and cut off your nose to spite your face".

Thanks for the entertainment as I have my coffee.

Setting up a chain of cosmetic nose surgeries in the UK will be a winner. Lol

[y1phr1] 28/5/2020 08:39

Thumbs down obviously NOT a holder .

[pooroldboy55] 28/5/2020 08:38

Bet the BBC don't have a HYS on the newsnight story.

[y1phr1] 28/5/2020 08:35

A nice start for LLOYDS share holders this morning hopefully a steady rise from here

[gotnorolex] 28/5/2020 08:32

If it's good enough for Cummings, it' good enough for me?
Yep! Go ahead and cut off your nose to spite your face!
