  1. To revisit this, it appears to me that this will be the "deal" that get's us out of the EU on the 31st October. That is, use GATT Article XXIV. 5b to be exact, which states: As todays article in the Torygraph states: In Andrew Neil's interview with Boris Johnson, Neil (and Whitehall) claimed that: So, job done....
  2. This is Boris's mandate: EU Referendum Results 2016: By Votes- 17.4 million Leave vs 16.1 million Remain. By constituency- 406 Leave vs 242 Remain. Labour Constituencies- 148 Leave vs 84 Remain. Conservative Constituencies- 247 Leave vs 80 Remain. By Region- 9 Leave vs 3 Remain (London, Scotland, NI).
  3. Game, set and match:
  4. Whitey, can you please bore off and take the rest of the losers with you? The adults have taken control now and you should sit down and behave.
  5. Things have changed in the US, regarding the Oirish. The IRA have long lost their charm since I lived there and was subjected to collections in Irish bars for the "Freedom Fighters". They are now simply seen as the terrorists they are. All you have to do is look at the Spanish demographics and their total lack of influence on Trump (Build the Wall). The Irish will go the same way. Oh and you do realise the UK will not be erecting any border controls. It will be the EU/Ireland.
  6. You're just so wrong and swallow everything that the tax dodging Irish have fed you. Interesting article here. The above was pointed out by Boris last week, but nobody listened...
  7. For me the benefits of no deal are: The prospect of saving £39 billion to spend on UK priorities rather than EU vanity projects and pensions. We can then negotiate a free trade deal with the EU, without having given them our wallet The elimination of the EU regulatory controls that have turned our Agricultural Sector into the Museum of Farming, allowing for the introduction of GM crops, with more land available for wildlife/amenity. The ability of the country to immediately negotiate FTA's with the rest of the world. Control of free movement As far as Nancy Pelosi and her Irish voters, I think you overestimate her and their influence in the US. As soon as she got involved in Brexit, the Continuity IRA let off bombs in Northern Ireland, so I think she'll be keeping her comments to herself in future.
  8. ...and you didn't even mention weapons of mass destruction. At least no one is going to be killed because of Brexit.
  9. On 2 October 2016, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, announced that she intended to invoke Article 50 by the end of March 2017, meaning that the UK would be on a course to leave the EU by the end of March 2019. On 7 December 2016, the House of Commons approved a non-legally-binding motion supporting Article 50's invocation by 31 March 2017. As a direct consequence of the Supreme Court ruling the House of Commons voted by a majority of 384 votes (498 to 114) to approve the second reading of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 to allow the Prime Minister to invoke Article 50 unconditionally. Your lot had your chance, you just weren't paying attention...
  10. Behave, mate. These are the dates for the proroguing of Parliament in recent years. Nothing to get excited about. 2016 - 15th Sept to 10th Oct 2017 - 14th Sept to 9th Oct 2018 - 13th Sept to 9th Oct 2019 - 9th Sept to 14th Oct
  11. Boris and Cummings are playing a blinder. If Steptoe and his band of traitors win a no-confidence vote, it's the People vs the Marxists. This will result in a landslide win for the Conservative/Brexit party, with the total annihilation of Labour, the Remainers and a no deal Brexit. Lose the no confidence vote and we're out with a no deal Brexit. Win-win...
  12. I doubt if I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing that I will be partly responsible for any sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, due to my vote to leave the EU. Thank God I didn't vote for Blair, because I would have had Iraqi blood on my hands as well....
  13. The Irish government supported the UK in both wars? Yeah, right....
  14. Dear Ireland, We forgave you for supporting the Kaiser in WW1, Hitler in WW2 and for murdering so many innocent UK citizens and leaders in recent history. We even helped to bail you out, when you messed up, a couple of years ago. However, for the collusion with France/Germany over the NI border we do not forgive you. This is a vile land grab and an attempt to imprison us in the EU. So understand that, when we boycott your products, no longer welcome your citizens to GB for work and have to inspect every one of your shipments, it's entirely personal. Kind Regards United Kingdom p.s. Northern Ireland will be given a Freeport status going forwards, with a 5% corporation tax rate. You might need a new economic model.
  15. Hopefully he'll buy Scotland instead: Today's report will be even worse.
  16. A great story here from a familiar face. A legend....!!!
  17. Businessmen realise that economists do not dispense any reliable information about things to come and that all that they provide is interpretation of statistical data referring to the past. For capitalists and entrepreneurs, economists’ opinions about the future count only as questionable conjectures. . . . business forecasting fails in the vain attempts to make the uncertainty of the future disappear and to deprive entrepreneurship of its inherently speculative character. In the end, what will make Britain great again is the entrepreneurs to be free to speculate and generate wealth, leaving the politicians and economists to continue to stare in the rear view mirror.
  18. By dividing the German and UK economy into different sectors, there are certainly more problems for productivity measurement in the service sector than the manufacturing sector because it is more difficult to define what productivity is in the service sector compared to the manufacturing sector. For this reason, the measurement of productivity in more important in defining the manufacturing based German economy than the service based UK economy. To different people, productivity means different things, which is expressed in the different or even conflicting definitions and perceptions of productivity. Productivity measurement in service is difficult because it is hard to standardise the inputs and outputs which are highly heterogeneous
  19. OECD Germany - Economic forecast summary in 2016:
  20. Treasury forecast prior to referendum in 2016:
  21. Mate, you have just confirmed you know squat. Of course productivity is a more important factor as a measure of the economy of a manufacturing based economy than a service based economy, unless you can share exactly how you accurately measure productivity in the service sector. As far as the Treasury and the BoE, upon whose alters you worship, remind me of their forecasts of the employment data following a vote to leave the EU. You were obviously groomed during your economics degree to believe it's a science, but since pre-2008, the Treasury and BoE forecasts have been defined by being consistently wrong. Now back on ignore for you. I gave you a chance but you obviously have $h!t for brains.... “Economists exist to make the weathermen look good”
  22. Your post was made in 2016, Private Frazer and you, like everyone else, swallowed Project Fear hook, line and sinker....
  23. You seem to struggle with fundamentals, Herbert. Productivity may well be an important indicator of a country's economic health, if that country depends largely on manufacturing like Germany. If like the UK, 80% of the economy is service based, I am struggling with the point of your regular lecture on the basics of economics relating to the UK. Maybe our service based economy is better at avoiding recessions, when there are trade wars, than Germany, whose auto sector has found it "far easier to hire and then lay people off than make costly, irreversible commitments in new technology" such as electric cars. I'd go and have a lie down mate, before you show yourself up again.
  24. That b!tch should go back to Italy and help sort their problems out, rather than worrying about the Irish...
