Guided Missile

As Sunak's old school motto says: "Manners Makyth Man" – a traditional motto with a decidedly modern sentiment: that we should be measured not by birth, but by our personal qualities. (As everyone can tell, I didn't go to Winchester College.)

I'm more familiar with the concept than Russell Martin, whose father's gambling addiction cost his family their home and yet he's happy to take his wages from a company that is sponsored by Sportsbet.io.

The "crowd" around me were pleased he was there. What was the crowd like around you?

It's about respecting the office of the Prime Minister and a born and bred Saints fan. Basic good manners and representing the club in a positive way. Why the fuck is there so much hate from the left. He's a green twat and will regret this.

He's another chippy prick like Nigel Pearson. I have a feeling his career will take the same trajectory as his, especially if we fail to get promoted.

What a twat our manager is. Wouldn't have hurt to keep his wacky Brighton politics to himself and shown some respect to a Southampton fan who happens to hold the office of Prime Minister. Didn't mind the club taking sponsorship from a gambling company even after his father lost their family house to betting. No class and typical of a lefty green arse.

Time to put this thread out of its' misery, I think:

Shocking new data.

Defending his Government’s record on migration, Sunak invoked his beloved football team Southampton FC: “Whether it’s controlling our borders or lowering our taxes, just like the Saints, the Conservatives are marching on.”

Pick the bones out of that.

UK on top despite Brexit? How did that happen?

Standard & Poor's are the largest of the big three credit rating agencies in the world. The S&P Global - Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is based on facts, not opinion, and is among the first indicators of economic conditions published each month. Over 20,000 companies participate. The surveys achieve considerable press coverage on a regular basis and are widely used by purchasing professionals in the manufacturing sector, by senior management across the corporate sector and by economic analysts in financial institutions - particularly central banks in many key economies who use the data to help guide interest rate decisions. A very expensive service the subscribe to, but I think the central banks could save money and base their interest rate decisions on the high IQ remainers posting on this site. £5/year is a bargain.

UK leading the pack in terms of growth as the PMI graph below shows. Great news for those that support British business. Maybe not so good for the bitter Remainers.

Brexit has boosted wage growth in the UK just as the Leave campaign predicted, economists have said. Senior City analysts said near record-wage growth was partly being driven by a crackdown on uncontrolled immigration from the EU, with employers forced to pay higher wages for low-skilled roles previously filled by Europeans. Marion Amiot, a senior European economist at rating agency S&P, said: “It’s much harder to get people from Europe so UK based-employees have better bargaining power and it means they can get higher wages.”

Must be correct. Seeing the video evidence I'm sure the jury will reach the correct verdict.

Brexit benefits: Reduced vulnerability to international shocks Former Treasury economist and fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Julian Jessop, says that leaving the EU has “reduced our vulnerability to international shocks” in the market. The ONS agreed, saying the UK “may be more resilient to global supply chain disruption than other economies” due to supply chain changes made because of Brexit. Increased use of domestic suppliers The ONS also released figures in 2022 showing that businesses had moved to using more UK suppliers since the end of the transition period that followed the country’s withdrawal from the EU – a big boost for UK businesses. This trend has continued in 2023, with nearly three quarters of businesses reporting that they were able to get all the goods they needed within the UK without any disruption. Less EU restrictions After Brexit, the UK is less restricted by some EU regulations. It is argued that a positive result of Brexit has been an ability to trade more freely with non-EU markets – for example, the US and Australia. The UK is putting in place new trade agreements with many non-EU countries around the world. Increased opportunity for growth Emerging markets such as Brazil, China, and South Africa account for more consumer spending every year. The fall of the pound makes British products cheaper for international markets, which could make them more appealing and benefit exporters. Simplifying the reporting burdens for small and medium companies The government is reviewing the thresholds retained in EU law and the filing requirements for businesses that file micro-entity accounts, aiming to reduce the reporting burden on many small companies. In May 2022, it issued a press release saying that 350 EU rules were to be ditched “creating simpler, more flexible and transparent procurement.” The government said these would “level the playing field for SMEs and drive economic growth across the UK.”

Remainer pressure group piece, which falsely links a fall in UK trade due to Brexit, by ignoring trade in services, when the overall trade data demonstrates no such effect: Keep digging, ladies...

If the above hasn't educated you, my other favourite source for debunking the net zero scam here, should do, for those that give a shit and can spare an hour to learn.

The UN is at it, as usual:

Read the paper.

In anticipation of the ad-hominem attack on the author of the paper I referenced above, Katelyn N. Larossa is currently an Analyst at the United States Department of Defense. A seminal paper.

The above is taken from this paper which pretty well sums up my long held opinion on the net zero scam. It also explains what net zero has to do with Marxism. HTH

Like I said, an instructive read. Good summary above, with the important bits highlighted.

So, you didn't read the report referenced above, did you?

Fort those that are interested in the details, here's the report that forms the basis of the argument that Brexit has not affected UK trade. Try and park your prejudices and study the facts. Who knows, you may learn something and build your knowledge. I did.
