Guided Missile

As Jean-Claude Junker said at the time: Another total muppet....

Brexiter violence... What a total muppet....

Just thought I'd throw this into the mix:

Don't worry, BoJo's on the case:

Perfect timing....

More bad news for the Remainers:

Last time I was in China, my interpreter told me that the North Korean people were perfectly happy with their system...

Brexit didn't depend on a right wing, anti-immigration party winning seats in an election. It depended on the will of the British people, to control their own laws and borders, being respected. UKIP got nowhere in the 2015 election.... The battleground is the economy, not elections; the euro, not immigration; national debt, not better together. The EU is f***ed and it will be impossible to hide that from the voters in the eurozone for much longer.

Presumably you checked St. Mary's wasn't a Catholic church to allow you to support saints.

Section 30(2) of the Scotland Act 1998 is where we get off, Mick.

Dear Santa Claus, Thanks for the present you bought me last Christmas. Brexit was what I was being a good boy for and all I really wanted. It was lovely to have it wrapped in David Cameron and George Osborne's resignation speeches. With these, it didn't really need a bow. It has brought about the destruction of the Labour party for the foreseeable future, which shows that Brexit is a gift that keeps giving. I am writing to you early to ask if you can make the sweaties vote for Independence from the UK. I really want to see the back of the sponging Jocks. Failing that, can you make them vote against Independence from the UK. I really want to see the back of Alec Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon. If you're not sure who they look like, I've posted a photo below: Yours hopefully, GM

I guess we can shut this thread now, then....now then, howz about that, then? The UK's doing great and will for the foreseeable future and Private Fraser and his like have woken up to the fact that we won the war. Cue a verse of "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Junker...." from Philip Hammond

By "right kicking", I assume you mean they won the 2015 election with an overall majority? Labour were the party that took a right kicking, due to the fact that the electorate knew they introduced uncontrollable immigration under Tony Blair. Here is the moment that Labour lost it and always makes me chuckle:

The UK’s Brexit bill: could EU assets partially offset liabilities? The ‘Brexit bill’ is likely to be one of the most contentious aspects of the upcoming negotiations. But estimates so far focus largely on the EU costs and liabilities that the UK will have to buy its way out of. What about the EU’s assets? The UK will surely get a share of those, and they could total €153.7bn. Above article here

Government finances recorded a £9.4bn in surplus in January, £0.3bn higher than the same month last year. Boosted by self-assessment tax receipts, January is typically a strong month for government finances. For the financial year-to-date, borrowing stands at £49.3bn, the lowest since the comparable period of 2008. Economists say strong tax receipts mean the government could undershoot the forecast deficit of £68bn for the current financial year. The forecast was made by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in November's Autumn Statement, although this estimate marked a sharp revision from the previous prediction of £55.5bn.

Meanwhile, in Germany, it appears that the third bailout package, put in place to enable the Greeks to pay their interest, is quickly going down the sh!tter. Merkel will host IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in separate meetings at the Chancellery on Wednesday, Ulrike Demmer, a government spokeswoman, told reporters in Berlin on Friday. The German government still insists on the IMF making a financial contribution to Greece’s bailout, Finance Ministry spokeswoman Friederike von Tiesenhausen said at the same press conference. The fund "will" contribute as much as 5 billion euros ($5.33 billion) to the country’s third rescue package, German magazine Der Spiegel reported Friday, without saying where it obtained the information. The IMF are digging their heels in and as a result, 2 year Greek bonds have hit a Wonga level of 10%. Sit back and watch the fun. The meltdown begins...

So, what you are saying is the "top 10 kippers" on here fall for fake news if it fits their prejudice but you don't. Mate keep digging. You can't even spot real news. As for your little fishing trip, you're straight on ignore, so you don't catch me anymore. Communicating with a complete moron is never any fun and I don't want to encourage you.

You are a clown, mate. The article was talking about sex attacks in Frankfurt that were falsely reported one year after the Cologne attacks that were correctly reported and filmed, FFS....

An update on climate change in California: Then.... This morning... "Researchers from Cornell University, the University of Arizona and U.S. Geological Survey say their predictions should be viewed as 'conservative' as not enough is being done to curb emissions that lead to climate change."

Four quotes from my hero, Winston Churchill, seem quite apposite at the moment. When asked what qualities a politician required: and one for Donald Trump:

I'm not angry, but while we're at it, I dislike your total contempt for democracy and refusal to admit you were wrong about the consequences of Brexit. For those two reasons, I shall refrain from calling you matey and use the term, clueless chump, or CC, in future. OK, CC?

I think all I have to say is that, given the total lack of evidence to the contrary, you are a patronising, clueless, self-opinionated windbag. I do hope that is not too "over the top", matey...

The madness you are talking about is called democracy. Something that is in short supply in the EU. Thanks for the comment that I somehow don't understand a complex issue. I happen to have been dead right on the degree of impact (or lack of) Brexit would have on our economy, from last June and the fact that we should and would, be able to negotiate a free trade deal with the US. You, George Osborne, the BoE and the Treasury have been totally wrong, so cut the patronising bullsh!t, matey and admit you didn't have a clue, apart from some post facto posturing. At least the other clueless remainers have had the decency to disappear from this thread, rather than looking like chumps.

This may help the day traders...

I agree 100% with this. The reason the market thinks interest rates might be going up? Because the UK economy is doing so well. As you have posted in the past, the BoE cut interest rates to support a perceived weakness in the economy, post Brexit. As we now know, they were wrong. Interest rates won't be going up soon, in my opinion, anyway. We are on the cusp of a weak currency, export lead, growth boom and I can't wait. Still, nice to have a Remainer like you agreeing that interest rates are now driving the value of the pound more than whether we stay inside or outside the EU. We finally have control of our currency value again, unlike Greece and the other sick men of Europe.
