"Don`t like subsidies because..

they breach the "HATED EU" state aid rules!"

Childish playground argument?

Straw Man?

LOL

Concerns have been raised over the readiness of a British firm contracted by the government to run extra ferries in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Seaborne Freight was awarded a £13.8m contract this week to run a freight service between Ramsgate and Ostend.

➡️ The firm has never run a ferry service ⬅️ and a local councillor said it would be impossible to launch before Brexit.



Taking back control? Don't make me laugh! ROFLMAO! Sorry, too late! LOL

Fukcing idiots.

If you go down to Dover in May
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to Dover in May
You'd better take supplies!
For every Brexiter that ever there was
Will gather there for certain
Because they still in May
Will expect to go away for their picnic!

Great, why don't you and robwt partake in a little pork swording?

robwt - "If you study all the good things and all the bad things since we became part of Europe, you will soon realise that we would have been far better off never joining."

I came to that conclusion a long time ago, so we're singing from the same hymn-sheet.

Stonedyou

The EC is currently investigating the UK capacity market and payments have been suspended whilst the investigation is going on. There is every chance that the capacity market will be reinstated. What you also haven't been told by that pathetic chimp mag (The Express) that you read is that it was actually a small UK energy company that actually raised the complaint because it wasn't able to compete in the market. Also, what The Express doesn't tell you is that the UK government have reversed decisions several times to support the UK energy sector via EC accepted methods as against the EU which has continued to provide incentives and support where our government has failed.

I have been a Drax shareholder for several years now and know that what I say is very much the case. The Express is obviously feeding you warped information, it is misleading and dangerous in its lack of objectivity.

Why Scotland is the UK biggest asset .

[exlogicalad] 30/12/2018 19:16

Cheshre & Robwt...It always surpises me that Bilderberg is never mentioned. The three in your post are all Bilderberg, so is Mandelson, Heseltine, virtually all leading Brits, European and Americans.

Everyone on this board should check out Bilderberg, it runs Europe, it will rule the World if it isn't stopped. Stoned you...you need to research Bilderberg, I think it would educate you.

A start up company that has never run a ferry and has no boats.

What could possibly go wrong?

[bargainbob] 30/12/2018 19:09

Good news needed Pete. Especially as the short seller has declared his targets as RBS and Lloyds.

Though the fact he has now declared his shorts , will probably mean he already went long on Friday lol.

The problems arose when we became a part of a political union through the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties, for which we have Major, Blair and Brown to thank. Sir Bill Cash and Sir John Redwood and others fought hard against it to their eternal credit, real heroes in my eyes.

pete..We signed a lot of our rights away when we signed those treaties. Major, Blair and Brown were all Europe's puppets. Say no more!

robwt: for me there was no problem with joining the EEC, although it never mentioned on the ballot paper that we'd be ditching trading with the Commonwealth countries. That's a word we don't hear much of these days...Commonwealth.

It added nothing to investors' knowledge of Lloyds, and the article's attempt at suggesting that the UK might return to the days when it was the UK's turn to be labelled as The Sick Man of Europe when we Leave, ignores the fact that it was the Labour Party and the unions that had brought this country to its knees at the time.


Poikka...The article didn't suggest we would become the sick man of Europe again. I agree that the unions were partly responsible for the demise of Britain, but the unions were not the main cause. There was a Global recession and being in Europe never helped. Terrible mistakes such as rolling our major Car producers to merge to form that disaster called British Leyland.

Thatcher won the general election of May 1979, and swept James Callaghan's Labour Party from power. The country had just witnessed the Winter of Discontent in which numerous public sector workers had staged strikes. Inflation was about 10% and some 1.5 million people were unemployed, compared to some 1 million in 1974, 580,000 in 1970 and just over 300,000 in 1964. Thatcher set about controlling inflation with monetarist policies and changing trade union legislation in an attempt to reduce the strikes of public-sector workers.

Thatcher's battle against inflation raised the exchange rate, resulting in the closure of many factories, shipyards and coal pits because imports were cheaper. Inflation fell below 10% by the turn of 1982, having peaked at 22% in 1980, and by spring 1983, it had fallen to a 15-year low of 4%. Strikes were also at their lowest level since the early 1950s, and wage growth rose to 3.8% by 1983.

All of this happened during our membership of the Common Market and being in the club enhanced our problems rather than lessen them.

If you study all the good things and all the bad things since we became part of Europe, you will soon realise that we would have been far better off never joining.

mr.elbee: Socialists don't mind turning a blind eye to law breaking when it comes to illegal immigration....just listen to the deafening silence from all in the labour party.

[mr.elbee] 30/12/2018 16:42

illegal immigration is just that............ illegal.yet not one commentator points this out.The media are equally responsible for the influx because of this pathetic failure to draw attention TO THE LAW.

just try and get into the States ,or Singapore illegally in a boat and see what happens..

There would be....No press comment...no help...... silence.

If the law is broken,all other considerations should be waived.

One Iranian journalist said she knew quite well that many were not asylum seekers but rich economic migrants.Does the BBC journalist say " they are breaking the law...this is unacceptable..It is illegal entry and misrepresentation."?

Nope, not a chance.

robwt - I gave your post a tick up for your attempt at curbing the Stoned-Bob show, which has been running for too long.

I did not intend that my approval should apply to the worthless article about Lloyds, which was used as a feeble attempt by the author, and i, to denigrate those supporting Brexit.

It added nothing to investors' knowledge of Lloyds, and the article's attempt at suggesting that the UK might return to the days when it was the UK's turn to be labelled as The Sick Man of Europe when we Leave, ignores the fact that it was the Labour Party and the unions that had brought this country to its knees at the time.

Westminster is not benefitting the North of England.

[bargainbob] 30/12/2018 16:00

Robwt .

Nothing against the English , I just want Scotland to be let free to run its own affairs . Westminister is not benefiting Scotland .At the moment many would argue it's not even benefitting the home nations .
