Panic over...

I think we know a bit more than we're letting on here.

Although the issue of antisemitism in the Labour party is an important one and obviously preoccupies a leader with an already weak grasp on his position, it is not the only one this moron is facing. He might even be glad that the argument seems to be moving on from his disgraceful response to the Salisbury attack, but his knee jerk defence of the Kremlin shows what is in his heart. He demonstrates all the power grabbing, anti-democratic actions that any tin pot Marxist would, within the Labour party and no one should forget that he is recognised as such by experts in that party. Who can forget the actions of the Communist party of Great Britain at the last election? As their leader stated at the time:

" FTSE last 5 years $ to £

Too little, too late, mate.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed Keep up numbnuts...

Good news for those that support free trade! It is probably worth repeating part of the first sentence of this marathon thread, where I posted:

I must admit, you're completely correct. I decided not to be sensible, replied to your post and I am regretting it.

By "sensible people" you mean people that don't give a rat's arse about democracy... Suck it up, buttercup. You lost and should start getting over it. You've got 12 months, which should be enough to get the counselling you need.

Pounds in the sh!tter as well:

The UK and EU have agreed on a "large part" of the agreement that will lead to the "orderly withdrawal" of the UK. Brexit negotiators Michel Barnier and David Davis said they had agreed terms for a transition period, calling the announcement a "decisive step". The transitional period is set to last from 29 March, 2019 to December 2020, and is intended to smooth the path to a future permanent relationship. The UK will also be able to negotiate and sign trade deals during the transition period.

Craig Murray is a drunken loser, who cheated on his wife with a belly dancer, got fired by the FO and despite being born in Norfolk, is still campaigning for Scottish nationalism. Not a person whose judgement I would trust. Oh and did I say he is a total c*nt.

Facts for Steptoe to consider: The compound identified at multiple locations is an organophosphate that was synthesised by the Russian state, stocks of which were supposed to have been destroyed under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), signed by Russia and which came in to force 20 years ago. No criminal organisation would have used such a method to assassinate a victim, nor have a motive to do so. No terrorist organisation would have used such a method to assassinate a victim, nor have a motive to do so. Even if they had, they would have claimed responsibility by now. The fantasy that an organisation other than the Russian state would have synthesised or obtained stocks of the compound to murder a former Russian agent in Salisbury, is laughable. The timing, method and target make it certain that this is a Russian state sponsored act of terrorism, intended to demonstrate Putin's strength prior to his "election". Strength and a robust and coordinated response is the only thing that Russia will respect, not Steptoe's approach of giving Putin and his cronies the advantage of due process. Trump has demonstrated how to deal with tin pot dictators. Sanction the sh!t out of them and if that fails, send in the military. Is it no surprise that Steptoe managed only 2 "A" levels and those were E grades. What a tool.

German MEP Hans-Olaf Henkel said today: Germany is said to have already saved the euro from a full-on crash in the wake of the Eurosceptic results in the Italian Election.

...and the collapse of the euro begins:

If you torture data enough, it will say whatever you want it to say...

In the interest of a quick and painless exit from the EU, I would like to propose a solution to the seemingly intractable problem caused by the freedom of movement issues, in regard to the Irish border. I would like to start by making clear the objective of this proposal: In order to achieve this, I have taken the opportunity to detail legislation that will assist in this objective. Those interested can read the details here. As far as new technological methods of operating such a "smart" border, details of this development can be accessed on this website. I do hope that Messrs. Tusk and Barnier are able to study the proposals I have posted. I would hate to think that UK citizens may get the impression that these self-serving, un-elected, jack-booted, power-hungry, mercenary and desperate civil servants, are trying to erect artificial barriers to the democratic decision of the UK to leave the EU (that includes Northern Ireland, Mr. Tusk. Many of their citizens died in wars that allowed Poland to be free of Nazi rule).

Labour, our government in waiting....:lol:

On a date that Romans historically settled their debts, it seems to be, yet again, a time for political and economic upheaval. This time, it will be the EU, not the Roman empire that will be affected. You see, no amount of cheap credit and an artificially strong currency will hide the systemic problems affecting the Italian economy. Italy could be heading into deep political crisis after voters go to the polls on March 4. Italy’s la dolce vita is at stake. The supposed ‘good life’ which the Italian economy has enjoyed since the European Central Bank slashed rates down to zero in 2012 and flooded the market with cheap credit, could come to an untimely end. Italian investors could be heading into a bloodbath, leaving the euro facing another existential crisis. Of course, the country is no stranger to political instability. It has changed governments 65 times since the second world war. The betting is that there will be a lurch to the right, particularly amongst younger voters, who have the opposite view to our pampered and spoilt youth, with regard to the benefits of belonging to the EU. At least one-third of young Italians under the age of 25 are out of work and unsurprisingly they have a deep distrust of their government and establishment parties. Right now, the populist Five Star Movement has a slight lead in the polls and if they set up a coalition with the Northern League, it could spell curtains for the euro. Their leader Matteo Salvini has even gone so far as to call the euro a ‘German currency’ which has damaged Italy’s economy, arguing the case to abandon the euro altogether. Forgetting the elections in Italy in March, who seriously thinks that the Euro will survive for long, when the debts of southern Europe become unsustainable? Alan Greenspan, the former Chair of the US Federal Reserve, back in February didn't. He believes the Euro will collapse and the ECB Mario Draghi should come clean on the state of the Eurozone economy. "Northern Europe has, in effect, been funding the deficits of the South; that cannot continue indefinitely. The Eurozone is not working,” says Greenspan. "Brexit is not the end of the set of problems, which I always thought were going to start with the euro because the euro is a very serious problem." Still, maybe Italy is too big to fail, like Deutsche Bank. Luckily the UK won't be involved in the bailouts, that must certainly be coming. If and when the euro fails, what is the value in a free-trade agreement with the EU? Always nice to be in the first lifeboat...
