Well done Nicola calling out this behaviour .

Civic Nationalists need to point out the likes of Boris , Trump , Farage and little Englanders like Utrickytrees and highlight the dangers off this type of Nationalism.

But what will she say if more evidence appears that Antifa orchestrated the event, to deliberately undermine the valid Republican evidence of a stolen election? She will of course say nothing, as it's not a bandwagon.

Today: Bank of England governor says Britain must not become EU 'rule-taker' on financial services as he puts UK's ability to make changes ahead of access to markets. Meanwhile, Boris asks business leaders for their ideas on how to cut red tape post-Brexit and Britain plans farming reforms.BoE boss warns UK must not become 'rule-taker' on financial services: Bank of England governor, Andrew Bailey has said that Britain must not become a "rule-taker" of Brussels on financial services in the next stage of Brexit talks, as it is key to retain control of regulation governing the vital industry. He said the UK must be able to make its own rules for the City, even if it means EU authorities refusing to allow access to markets across the Channel. When regulators in London feel that decisions made in Brussels are unsuitable for British banks, it is important that Britain can make changes without being cut off from EU markets, according to Mr Bailey, but if the EU insisted the UK follows its rules then it was worth losing out on access based on "equivalence" decisions in Brussels.Some areas that the UK may want to change pace with the EU have already been identified with British officials keen to change the Solvency 2 rules governing the insurance sector, for example, and reject some EU decisions to count IT systems towards banks' capital buffers."I would strongly recommend that we do not become a rule-taker. I think that is a very bad place to end up," Bailey told MPs on the Treasury select committee. "If the price of that is no equivalence, then I'm afraid that will follow. That is the wrong outcome for the UK, but if that is where it goes. I am strongly opposed to rule-taking."The BoE governor also confirmed that the number of financial services jobs moving to Brussels had been 'substantially less' than many had predicted after the referendum result. He also questioned the EU's position over financial services saying that he fails to see why people would want to close themselves off from open markets. "The situation we find ourselves in is that the EU wants more information from the UK on what its future intentions are on regulation. I think that's quite problematic frankly in terms of equivalence."Boris asks business leaders for their ideas on cuts to red tape: Boris Johnson told 250 business leaders that he wants to hear their ideas on how to cut red tape post-Brexit. Accompanied by Rishi Sunak on the call, the PM said that employees were looking for a return to normal and this desire will help power a rapid recovery from the pandemic. Ministers signalled their intention to "strike through the red tape and bureaucracy" created by regulations from Brussels and called on firms to step forward with ideas for how to streamline British rules, an attendee said. Cornish fishermen call for more to be done for shellfish exports: Cornish fishermen are concerned that under the trade deal with the EU their exports of shellfish have stopped, leaving their boats 'gathering dust', according to one fisherman. Since January 1st, only 'ready to eat' shellfish accompanied by an export health certificate (EHC) can be sent to the EU. This is due to change in April but DEFRA said it is working to allow all shellfish exports sooner. Gene-editing in UK's farming future, says Eustice: George Eustice has written in The Times today, outlining his vision for British farming post-Brexit. Free from the bureaucratic Common Agricultural Policy, Britain will invest the money that we free up to support agriculture in different ways, he says. One area that he believes can be the future of British farming is in relation to gene editing."Two years ago, the European Court of Justice ruled that cisgenic techniques such as gene editing should be treated the same as genetic modification under EU law. That means that new technology would be stifled from the beginning because the EU's procedures around gene editing are notoriously flawed and politicised such that no one trusts the integrity of the procedure," Eustice writes, going on to say that this decision was fundamentally based on legal interpretation and not on science. Unlocking the benefits of this technology could boost British farming and Eustice aims to have a simpler, scientifically credible regulatory framework to achieve this. Shake up to British farming subsidies: There was also news that a post-Brexit subsidy plan will see its first pilot scheme in Norfolk where £320,000 has been made available to encourage farmers to protect turtle doves. The government is looking to trial 'reverse auction' schemes, where farms bid to receive funding, showing how they would protect a particular species on their land.Trump promises 'orderly transition' after Capitol events: In the US, Donald Trump has said there will be an "orderly transition" of power after the US Congress confirmed Joe Biden as President following a march in Washington DC that ended in the storming of the Capitol building.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.

Sturgeon and Merkel just as bad as Patel on this one. They have had plenty of opportunity to speak up against the behaviour of Trump way before now. Anybody with at least half a brain could see what he was up to.

[lefrene] 07/1/2021 12:13

Perhaps Mr Trump should pardon Mr Assange and get the inside info on all the double dealers? That would be fun!

[minerve 2] 07/1/2021 12:11

Ohm's?

Back to school.

[utrickytrees] 07/1/2021 12:06

Track record Poikka.

Ohm's 3rd law states 'to every action theres an equal & opposite reaction....its all weights & scales m8.

[minerve 2] 07/1/2021 11:29

Fair comment Poikka.

The idea that the Democrats are capable of cheating at elections, but not the Trump supporters, is completely risible.

We have just witnessed anarchy promoted by Trump and carried out by his supporters, and yet posters here still maintain that it's only Democrats who (allegedly and with no foundation) were capable of cheating!

I'm saddened that you lot are also supporters of Brexit, you do the cause no good at all.

Fortunately the British public saw through the lies Cheshire P.....
Even more so when the European banking system collapses and hopefully we are no longer on the hook for any bailouts.

£200-250bn was our prior contingent liability.

[bbalanjones] 07/1/2021 11:02

Trump has earned the 25th Amendment.

[cheshire pete] 07/1/2021 11:01

lol gecko.....I'm still waiting for the cliff edge.

Project fear commentators lost any remaining credibility. The public weren't taken in though, thankfully.

They won't forget either next time round if (when) they try and peddle more fearsome rubbish.

[geckotheglorious] 07/1/2021 11:00

Ignoble.

Democrats in for 1 term. 2024 Republicans will be back because USA will be in an awful mess within 12-18months of Beijing Biden's administration.

[ignoble] 07/1/2021 10:58

Trump may return but it will be his daughter, Ivanka...
2028 maybe?

Time will tell...

[pal44] 07/1/2021 10:53
