The french think we will fold on fishing. I hope not, it's worth far more than £ 1b.

More like £6b directly.

Local money gets respect locally and the french u understand this. We keep outsourcing abroad. Nk wonder french amhave higher standard of living than us.

£6b into uk instead of out is worth more like £60B.

But anyway, brexit weighing in on this share. A deal would see this rise 50%.

Nicholas Brough13 Oct 2020 3:41PMI call BS again.  I have a kidney Transplant and in a high risk group as a result. I "shielded" on the advice of Govt, but did it in my own way. I looked at the likely risk (how long I might be out shopping, how close I might get to other people, for how long and the local level of COVID based on the Govt's daily case data for my local authority.  I shopped in my local store and supermarket a couple of times a week whilst working from home. I'd call that informed risk based decision on my part.If we believe the Govt cases are again climbing. Based on my own reading and investigation, it seems to me that the risk and number is  no where near high enough to justify a second lockdown for the general population, nor for me. However, that doesn't mean I'm not going to be cautious where I go, how close I get to other people and regularly wash my hands and change outdoor to indoor clothing when I return home. To do otherwise would be stupid.Whether the Govt uses the term "shielding" and provides the same level of assistance as previously, it would be stupid to advise anyone in the high risk categories to mix with the general population on large scale. In effect, as cases grow, we must isolate ourselves (shield) whether the Govt says so or not.In my opinion, the Govt should switch focus to protecting high risk people and letting everyone else get on with their lives as normal. Yes that probably increases my risk somewhat, as there will be more COVID cases in the general population, but the increase will be very low.5LikeReplySunny Uplands13 Oct 2020 3:47PM@Nicholas BroughWise words and I agree entirely. I will add to this that the money that would be used for furlough could very easily be used to help people, who want to, shield instead.No one would object to financial and practical support for those in our community who genuinely felt the need to shield. ...

Alphorn, Scotland and England are one country, when a Scot decides the road South to a job in England is the best way to advance his condition.

The science said - herd immunity was wrong
Science said lockdown was the way.
Lockdown lifted
more testing - more identified cases - no surprise
There will be a second - wave - science insists and insists.
Now hotch pot management -
2nd wave has to be seen - science says
And we go on and on about a virus - because the science says.
The reported admissions to hospitals are hiked as an illustration of the seriousness.

Wales and England are one country and it's ridiculous to say otherwise.

Agree, what about Scotland and England?

It depends IMO on the purpose of the negative rates. If, as he makes a passing comment, they are to weaken a currency there is no indication that they don't work. Switzerland has used negative rates (penalties) before and has been using them to reign in the CHF for some time.
Using negative rates to stimulate an economy is another matter.

Not a very clear article for what is a serious subject.

Thx for posting though, max.

Rupert Hill12 Oct 2020 10:30PMThere is no excuse whatsoever for the health service not being able to cope. They've had nearly 8 months to prepare.228LikeReplyPaul Butler12 Oct 2020 10:24PMUnbelievable that we are being 'ruled' by such total idiots - how can they believe that 'saving' those who are most vulnerable and would probably go sooner rather than later, is more important than our whole society - the young, the fit, those working AND PAYING TAXES, the elderly fit and sporty/keen to continue 'living'?We are being 'led' by absolute crass, myopic fools - especially those in SAGE.

In today's brief: Government win key vote on Agriculture bill amendment as UK and Turkey look to secure a deal. Meanwhile, PM warns that time is running out for Brexit trade deal as France vow to show 'no weakness' over fisheries.Government win vote on Agriculture Bill amendment: Last night, MPs struck down a Lords Amendment to the Agriculture Bill that campaigners say was designed to protect the UK's food standards post-Brexit. This tweet claiming that the Government would not allow a vote on food standards went viral despite being factually incorrect, with elected MPs being allowed to vote on several amendments relating to food standards.The Commons rejected the Lords amendment by 332 to 279. The Department for International Trade has insisted that the UK will not compromise on standards and if a trade deal is not in the interests of the UK, they will walk away from negotiations.Steve Baker took to Twitter to warning that "We must be wary not to spread fear on this issue.""The UK has a long history of high food standards," he said.EU stand in the way of Turkey deal: The UK and Turkey have been quietly negotiating a trade agreement in order to maintain the significant volumes of trade between the two countries, after the transition period. "Our negotiations on a bilateral free-trade agreement [have] gained pace recently," Ümi?t Yalçin, Turkish ambassador to London told Politico. "We are happy to see that we are on the same page with the UK on most of the important issues. We believe that we can finalise our talks soon." However, as the UK leaves the customs union, the EU are anxious to not allow goods from an outside nation a potential backdoor into their single market. This puts Ankara, who are keen to keep trade with Britain flowing in a strange spot. Turkey could yet go rogue on its customs union arrangement with Brussels and strike a free-trade deal with the UK regardless of the outcome of Brexit talks: it did just that with Malaysia a few years ago. And Turkey is keeping the option on the table, saying "we are prepared for all scenarios", when asked about the prospect of undermining the EU with a UK deal. "In the post-Brexit era, we would like to continue our strong partnership with the UK in every possible area with a visionary approach," Yalçin said. UK Trade minister, Ranil Jayawardena echoed this statement stating: "We are currently working hard to explore all options to secure trade continuity, both the United Kingdom and Turkey remain committed to securing a deal as soon as possible and I look forward to further strengthening our ambitious trade and investment relationship as we work closer together in the future."Time running out for Brexit trade deal: After Boris Johnson set a deadline of this Thursday for Brexit talks progressing to a point where a deal is 'in sight', Downing Street have confirmed that this time limit was still in place and that the time left to get a post-Brexit trade deal is in "short supply". With the French threatening to show "no weakness" in discussions over Brexit fishing rights, the UK has said it is ready to walk away if progress is not shown. The government said they were trying to "bridge" disagreement over fishing rights and state aid for businesses but without any EU movement, it could be time for Boris to stick to his guns and walk away. Charles Michel's risky retweet: If anyone needed any clearer indication that the EU has been acting in bad faith, Council President Charles Michel last night retweeted this political cartoon mocking the Prime Minister. It is now time for David Frost and Boris to show the EU that they're not bluffing and if the EU can't take the UK's democratic vote for sovereignty seriously, then they can kiss goodbye to their trade surplus.Sky report on French fishermen's worries: Sky News has an article today that addresses the concerns of French fishermen who are worrying about the risks of losing access to British coastal waters after the transition period. The waters around Britain are teeming with seafood and French fishermen have enjoyed access to them with Britain inside the Common Fisheries Policy. All that is now set to end, with or without a deal."If it's not allowed, we'll respect it and we'll come back to French waters. But if we have to do that, and all share these waters, we'll be dead in the year," one French fisherman said, warning of big sanctions or enormous fines for those caught breaking the rules. Sky News did not, however, interview British fishermen who saw the decimation of their own industry inside the EU and who are set to gain what is rightfully theirs.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.
