Some stunning pastiche images of Boris online over the last couple of days. Fabulous shots capturing the essence and mood of a nation holding its breath in anticipation of bold new dawn. Very stylish and perfectly chronicle these moments in our countries history. The black and white ones reminded me of Ali just before the rumble in the jungle fight....stunning!

Business leaders know their cosy cartel, no wonder they are happy.


And the €U is one very big cartel.

Liberty could mean poverty and unemployment for some.
Was life in the EU. that bad?

Business leaders know their business, if they are worried that is good enough for me.

News about dividends may be in minutes of Bank of England stability report, released Friday 11th 0700

UI - I would not discount that. Bailey is not the showman type. Also Covid has yet to be paid. Having said that, IMO banks should be left to decide the dividend question themselves.

[careful] 07/12/2020 20:12

Farage said the Germans will be 'knocking on the door begging for a deal'.
Liam Fox said it would be the 'easiest trade deal in history'.
Johnson said he wold 'get Brexit done' and had an 'oven ready deal'.

I hope that fans of these ignorant idiots now realise how they were duped.

Does anyone know when Andrew Bailey and his team of bandits will review the strategy on Bank dividends?

I thought it was the end of the year, ie, Dec. For those at the BoE that might not be aware, we are already in December.

Bailey says no deal Brexit will be worse for the economy than covid-19. Is that a pre-statement to continue screwing the banks?

Singapore on Thames....In January 2017, even before Article 50 was invoked by the British government, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, gave an interview to Welt am Sonntag. He was asked what might be the consequences if the UK left the EU with no deal in place.His answer was simple: the UK would have to change: "If Britain were to leave the European Union without an agreement on market access, then we could suffer from economic damage at least in the short-term. In this case, we could be forced to change our economic model and we will have to change our model to regain competitiveness."The press dubbed this a threat to turn the UK into "Singapore on Thames" – a freewheeling, low tax, deregulated economy on the EU's doorstep.To Hammond that was clearly second best and an outcome to be avoided. He made clear his preference to stay in the European mainstream, and argued within Theresa May's divided Cabinet for a deal that kept the UK as close as possible to the Single Market and Customs Union.But for many of his Conservative colleagues, the vision of a UK cut loose from the regulatory binds of EU membership was the prize that justified Brexit.They viewed the EU as a regulatory behemoth, tying up dynamic UK businesses in unnecessary red tape, imposing petty restrictions in the name of the Single Market and with protectionist instincts which stifled Britain's natural inclinations as a champion of free trade.They backed those arguments up with figures. Two leading long-term eurosceptics, Bill Cash and Bernard Jenkin wrote in 2013 that the benefits of the Single Market were not worth the costs – a calculation that overlooked the benefits of that regulation. Patrick Minford, the most prominent pro-Brexit economist, claimed in 2018 that 30 years of the Single Market had cost 12%of GDPThe origins lie further back. Their founding text was Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's speech in Bruges in 1989 where she warned: "We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels".Boris Johnson is now pursuing the sort of Brexit that Conservative Brexiteers wanted – not the 'Brexit in Name Only' of a Norway option, nor the May-style compromise designed to make trade as frictionless as possible.From the start of his premiership, he made clear that Brexit meant regulatory autonomy. As his Chief Negotiator Lord Frost told an audience in Brussels in February: "Sovereignty is about the ability to get your own rules right in a way that suits our own conditions".Johnson was even prepared to accept a border in the Irish Sea as the price of that freedom for the rest of Great Britain.That does not mean though that his Government intends to use that new freedom to take the UK in the direction Hammond indicated.Frost again pointed out that regulating agriculture in the UK did not mean lower standards but could produce rules more suited to the UK "rather than being forced to work with rules designed for growing conditions in central France."...

Supah, time to pull the plug on those bad faith fascist EU negotiators.

[geckotheglorious] 07/12/2020 19:28

Waste of time continued negotiations costing UK taxpayer £1bn per month+

EU wont let us go.

We want a sovereign independent UK - that is what we voted for. For laws to be made in UK, not foisted on us by EU. For control over our trade terms, not given to us by the EU. To control our borders, not be told we must let in hundreds of thousands from EU (and those who enter the EU illegally) with little if any recourse.

Seed House 7 Dec 2020 7:07PMHe needs to be seen to do his best to get a deal.  Don't hang him until we know the outcome. 2UnlikeReplyJanet Warrior 7 Dec 2020 7:08PM@Seed House Well said. If he sells us out, he has no credibility left, so I don't think he will. The EU are trying to run the clock down.
