Guided Missile

Who's the simpleton, numbnuts?

Read this article (from the 1st September), referenced in the original article, to help you understand why I support our great country, instead of putting us down all the time, like you and the rest.

Thank you for reading my post. I think it only fair to ask if you could post evidence that global temperatures have increased in a statistically valid way, over the past 15-20 years. I would be grateful for any information you have to allow me to reach a balanced view on this matter.

I'm not the only one "grasping at straws" or as some prefer to call it, "seizing opportunities":

...and the good news post-Brexit keeps coming, here: Up yours, Delors....

A brief summary here. A good comment is this one related to the Times article, which may answer the point I think you are about to make:

Thanks... The Telegraph today: I'm assuming by this condemnation, that the majority of climate change research funding, comes (or came) from the US government and taxpayer.... Oh, and while I'm shooting you down in flames, here's what was said by the bucket bombers neighbours two days ago: He shoots, he scores...

Read the article. As is well known, there has been no rise in global temperatures for the last 15 years, despite increasing CO2 emissions. "Scientists" admit their computer models are wrong. In summary, their credibility is shot to pieces and the Paris accord was based on bull$h!t. BTW, the first line of the post is taken from the article, which you would have known if you read it. I would have put it differently, as in : "So called scientists admit the models they have based their whole research on are wrong and thus, so is the "expert" advice they provided the governments at the Paris accord. On the other hand, they admit the Trump was right about both anthropomorphic climate change and the UK police knowing all about the bucket bomber prior to his arrest"

Scientists admit that world is warming more slowly than predicted (in this article) The only thing I disagree with in the article is that they have the balls to describe these chancers as scientists. Facts don't change in real science, you total losers. The speed of light, the melting point of ice, are facts. These "scientists" have been peddling hypotheses as facts for years, to obtain research grants to continue avoiding doing real jobs. The press and general public have swallowed it hook, line and sinker and the global politicians have used it to their advantage. Anthropomorphic climate change is the biggest con since the Y2K bug.

The pound's in the $h!tter then, lads.... Currency trading? It's a mugs game...

“I think Brexit will lead to lower taxes in the UK but higher taxes in the EU.” INVESTMENT BANKER BASED IN FRANKFURT

While Germany sucks the jobs out of the rest of the Eurozone:

Pick the bones out of the report, here...

...and the good news continues, here: Cue the remainers trying to turn that into bad news...

Funny you should say that:

...but am I the only one that struggles to have any sympathy for the plight of the British Virgin Islands? The British Virgin Islands' premier, Orlando Smith, said: Meanwhile, that well known tax dodger, Sir Richard Branson is on the case: For those that are interested, the tax structure of the British Virgin Islands is as follows: no capital gains tax, no gift tax, no sales tax or value added tax, no profit tax, no inheritance tax or estate duty, and no corporation tax. There is technically still income tax assessed in the British Virgin Islands for companies and individuals, but the rate of taxation has been set at zero. The UK taxpayer gets mugged again....

...or, listen to the whole interview here, from 1:08:58 on. Uncomfortable listening to anyone with a hard-on, for Jean Claude-Juncker and his posse...

Iceland Foreign Minister interview, now on the BBC website here. "Are you watching, are you watching, are you watching Barnier....?"

I listened to him on the way into work on Radio 4. His comments should be required listening to anyone with an open mind about Brexit, from an informed third party without an axe to grind. Keen to get the UK into EFTA. Nice to listen to a politician with an alternative lesson to educate the British about. Maybe Barnier should be sent an audio tape....

The Times bang on the money, as usual, here:

Jerry Lewis raised over $2.6 billion for a Muscular Dystrophy charity over nearly half a century. Being funny isn't really the measure of a human being.

You had to quote pal, didn't you? Well, as I have 5 minutes after spending my day playing businessman, maybe you should read Matt Ridley, in a paper I subscribe to. His point is related not to economics in general but protectionist trade models, that the EU and particularly France with regard to their farming economy and Germany, with regard to their corrupt car industry, exemplify. This part of his article follows on from a point I made earlier in this thread: Those following me on this thread will remember this post of mine: As far as "how the world actually works", your pal needs to wise up and remember the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules. This applies to artificial tariffs distorting trade and £60 billion a month spent by the European Central Bank buying bonds to keep interest rates low and prop up bankrupt Eurozone countries and banks, so that the Eurozone has a semblance of economic growth. I can't wait until the chickens come home to roost for Draghi and the ECB. As Warren Buffett said, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked." Finally, with regard to Grenfell, the resident trolls will note that my thread was started before the identity of the resident, whose fridge exploded, was known and Hotpoint have still not recalled the fridges already sold, being content apparently, with their safety. Still, play the race cards, guys as you are obviously bereft of a decent counterargument. I'll look forward to your profuse apologies, when the cause of the fire is published.

I read it with interest, although, I think you should really credit the other 15 economists that contributed, as Matt Ridley in the Times did today: Still, some people prefer ad hominem arguments. It's far easier than actually reading...
