Market falling again.
A fund manager said yesterday that the uk was un investable because of Brexit.
It is poverty and unemployment that often cause revolutions and wars.
This Brexit thing has only just started.
We will look back on the last few decades as a golden era.
no good ever comes from radical change.

Let’s take control of our economy
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: DECEMBER 4, 2018
Leaving without an Agreement looks more likely given the bad response of most MPs to the proposed Withdrawal Agreement and delayed exit. So let’s make the most of the money, the freedoms and the opportunities leaving brings. More than half the voters expect things to get better when we leave, and so they can. That requires the government to cheer up and take some action.

1. Relax the current tight money policies a bit – they are slowing our economy too much
2. Set out a new budget with an additional £15bn of spending increases and tax cuts for 2019=20 at least, financed by saving the Withdrawal payments
3. Encourage import substitution with a farming policy based on more home grown food
4. Allow UK vessels to land a much larger share of our fish by taking control of our fishery in 2019
5. Encourage more fish processing industry
6. Novate all existing EU trade deals promptly
7. Intensify negotiations with the USA, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and the others who are keen to sign Free Trade Deals with us once we have the power to do so
8. Make clear there will be no new checks at our ports on imports from the EU in the short term, and any longer term extra checks will be done away from the border or with sufficient capacity at the port to avoid delays
9. Set a new tariff schedule which lowers our external tariff, removing all tariffs from imported components for manufacturers and from items here the tariff raises little net revenue

It’s high time the media allowed a proper debate on how to take advantage of the opportunities of leaving after months of just recycling false scare stories about the costs.

Yesterday I launched a Politeia pamphlet – How to take back control
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: DECEMBER 6, 2018
This is how my pamphlet begins roughly like this:

Let us make 29 March 2019 our Independence day.

We should be proud of our democratic past and confident about our democratic future.
Restoring the right to govern ourselves is not a threat but a promise. It is not a problem but a whole host of opportunities.

The UK has made such a contribution to the language and architecture of freedom, and to the ways and words of democratic government. The British people had the courage to say they wanted to restore our leading place amongst the nations of the free. We voted against more laws and taxes we do not approve for ourselves. We voted to take back control of our own destiny.

People say we should think most of the young. I agree. I do. I want to give to them the most precious political flower of all, the flower of freedom. Because I believe in our young people and their potential, I want to give them the means to do as they wish through a self governing country.

My generation had that taken away from us by successive transfers of power to the EU without the consent of many British people. Gradually, directive by directive and treaty by treaty, we lost control of so much of our public policy, lawmaking and taxation.

Bureaucracy, the lowest common denominator, the suffocating hand of centralised authority, comes from Brussels. By taking back control here at home, we can so much more prosperous, inventive, adventurous and engaging with the wider world.

LEAVE and WTO

[k38] 06/12/2018 02:27

If TM lose the vote next week we all know who's fault it is..Russians of course !0!

Backstop risks, Merkel rules.A few problems I can think right now.Ireland will United 'free' from UK and under EU rules. Scotland next for sure and why not Wales too. UK remain partly within Europe paying ££££££ without voice, most likely forever. U.K. if not regecting this deal is dead.The best outcome for Brussels as they love weak euro voices.

Auk - "several posters know what the handle relates to".....Bent!!

[stonedyou] 05/12/2018 22:06

Alporno you do make me laugh.....It`s the Royal WE is it.

[alphorn] 05/12/2018 21:25

You are right Ace - there are probably only a couple of posters here - the rest are the multi-handles! We know who some of them are; people who lost their shirts on companies like Logica and RBS to name just two. LOL's

I was making the simple point that we voters have a right to change our mind.
Blair we would no longer would vote for.
In fact we got it wrong looking back, we were conned, and got it badly wrong.

So a second referendum could be a good thing, a chance for some of the floating voters to correct their mistake.

I have a low opinion of Blair also.

[aceuk] 05/12/2018 21:18

maxk you don't understand nor would I expect you to - unlike the majority of contributors and multi-handle aliases here I am discoverable, indeed several posters know what the handle relates to.

[maxk] 05/12/2018 21:13

Perhaps a handle change is in order?


Aceeu, Ace€U ?

[stonedyou] 05/12/2018 20:57

Auk - Booooooo! to you!

[aceuk] 05/12/2018 20:43

As I said this morning stonedyou, you are a facile incompetent!

[maxk] 05/12/2018 20:17

There's no hope for you careful.

[careful] 05/12/2018 20:10

What can Brussels do about the backstop?
All they are saying is that they will check goods going across the border into the eu.if there are no deal.
They would wish to check cattle for mad cow disease for example.


Apparently this means that the protestants and Catholics will start shooting each other.
..so we must stay in the customer union.

..who could negotiate with the crazy uk
We want Brexit to control our borders, but will not allow the eu. to control theirs.
