Actually, gotnorolex, Trump's speech was surprisingly well received even by the Democrats, who gave standing ovations at several points.

All eyes were on Nancy Pelosi last night!.... Same old BS from Trump asking people to choose greatness, delivering drivel with a Mussolini stretched neck pose!

Government responded
This response was given on 29 January 2019

The Government’s policy is not to revoke the Article 50 notice. The British people gave a clear instruction to leave and we are delivering on that instruction.


In 2016, almost three quarters of the electorate took part in the referendum and 17.4 million people voted to leave the European Union. This is the highest number of votes cast for anything in UK electoral history and the biggest democratic mandate for a course of action ever directed at any UK Government.

In 2017’s General Election, over 80% of people then also voted for parties committing to respect the result of the referendum - it was the stated policy of both major parties that the decision of the people would be respected. The Government is clear that it is now its duty to implement the will expressed by the electorate in the referendum.

The British people must be able to trust in its Government both to effect their will, and to deliver the best outcome for them. As the Prime Minister has said: “This is about more than the decision to leave the EU; it is about whether the public can trust their politicians to put in place the decision they took.” We recognise that to do otherwise would be to undermine the decision of the British people, and to disrespect the powerful democratic values of this country and this Government.


To revoke the Article 50 notice would go against the referendum result and is not a course of action the Government feels we should take. The Government continues to be committed to delivering on the instruction given to us by the British people; working to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities this brings to deliver an outcome which betters the lives of British people - whether they voted to Leave or to Remain.

In doing so, we will honour the mandate of the British people and leave the European Union in a way which benefits every part of our United Kingdom and every citizen of our country.

Whilst we note the judgment in the recent Wightman litigation, the Government's policy is not to revoke the Article 50 notice.

Lloyds has declined from circa 700p since 2000.

Tygarreg , you been watching the Lloyds share price since Brexit was announced ?

[tygarreg] 06/2/2019 07:24

OMG even more scaremongering. The economy is booming despite pending no deal Brexit. The stock market is buzzing, the employment figures are amazing, the low pound is really giving us an advantage in the market place. Thank goodness we never got lured into Euro. House builders reporting today. Barratts sales up 5%. And once again week after week we get these anti Brexit analysts trying to paint pictures of gloom and doom. At what point are you going to stop believing these continually wrong analysts and look forward to the real opportunity Brexit brings. Years from now, you can all look back and reminisce on our lucky escape to get out before their tentacles fully drew us in to the big experiment.

Some sobering comment from NIESR this morning:

NIESR cut its forecast for British economic growth in 2019 to 1.5 percent from a previous estimate of 1.9 percent, citing a slowdown in the economy at home and globally.

The forecast was based on the assumption that Britain avoids the shock of a no-deal Brexit next month, something Prime Minister Theresa May says could happen if the European Union refuses to give her more concessions on the Irish border issue.

In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the economy would grow by about 0.5 percent this year, assuming the Bank of England lowers interest rates, the government cuts taxes and increases welfare spending, and Britain and the EU find ways to reduce the shock in key areas such as finance and transportation, NIESR said.

https://brexitcentral.com/uk-eu-free-trade-agreement-advanced-liberalising-deal-ever/Ninety per cent of global economic growth will come from outside the EU in the years ahead and the EU now accounts for less than half of the UK's overall trade. So our future trade deal with the EU must allow us to strike out and form fruitful relationships with these emerging powerhouses of the global economy

Brexit stupidity reaches new levels in suggestion that English narrow majority imposed on EU- supporting Ireland North and South can be resolved by hosting a football tournament. #embarrassment

Yes good points Jacko. The Irish along with plenty of other countries have been taking billions off UK via our net contributions for years. They don't want that gravy train to end and if UK leave and start charging import duties on Irish food it will be very difficult for Ireland so they are between a rock and a hard place. They want us in to get our money but if we are out they want free trade. No wonder the Irish chat show host Graham Norton tries to ridicule Brexit at every opportunity. Who will make up shortfall when UK leaves or will it just implode?

Sorry Theresa May Tim`s right ear....


“We need someone who can lead and argue the case for Brexit, and it is not Theresa May.”




'VERY dangerous!' Wetherspoons boss issues CRITICAL warning to MPs trying to block Brexit

WETHERSPOONS boss Tim Martin has sent a warning to MPs trying to block Brexit claiming it would be “very foolish” to stop Britain’s departure from the EU.


Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin issued a stern warning to Remain supporting

Parliamentarians trying to block Brexit. The Brexiteer also listed a series of

defeats suffered by Theresa May as he called for her to walk away. Speaking to

Express.co.uk, he said: “I don’t actually know what Parliament will do but I think

it would be very foolish of them to go against the will of the people.


“People are very conscious that there was a promise made by Parliament to the electorate that the decision of the people would be implemented. That was both in writing and verbally.

“To go against the will of the people is very, very dangerous.”

The Wetherspoons boss also claimed it was time for Theresa May to walk away and let someone else “argue the case for Brexit”.


She supported Remain. She called an election and lost her majority and didn’t campaign properly.

“She said we would leave the customs union, that never happened either. She was determined to put the Withdrawal Agreement through Parliament, that failed.

“We need someone who can lead and argue the case for Brexit, and it is not Theresa May.”

Last month around 70 Labour MPs announced that they were in support of another referendum after the Prime Minister's Withdrawal Agreement was overwhelmingly defeated in the Commons.

Not all hedge funds operate the same way. I never used leverage, never shorted and never borrowed. Long only with preservation of capital being the overarching principle. In any case the term hadn't even been invented when I started and I don't greatly care for it.
