What is needed is a Financial Transaction Tax. Oh, hang on, the EU already proposed that and it was due to be introduced in September. All your mates in the City whined like b!tches. Chief b!tch was George Osborne, who said it would cost the City billions. My guess is that any City firms opposed to Brexit will soon change their tune about moving to the Eurozone if the FTT is finally introduced by the EU as promised. A cut in UK corporation tax will be the last nail in the relocation coffin....

Bravo....

I know enough about insurance to know that Lloyds is not an insurance company. It's basically a casino for the rich and more latterly corporations. Derivatives are basically the same. Risks that are packaged together and someone underwrites the risk for a reward. I know I'm an ignorant c*** so that is the best I can do in the way of a three sentence summary. Feel free to correct me with your vast experience of how Lloyds works.

I really hope that Brexit will force much of the bloated financial services sector to relocate. Most of it is socially useless and has led to a casino based bubble of derivatives and miss-selling of insurance that has crushed the activities such as trade and manufacturing that made this country great. Easy, stupid money by over-educated barrow boys with short term ambitions and get rich quick ideals. How any socialist post- 2008 can shed a tear for this sector is beyond me. We need a cull in the City that will hopefully lead to a collapse of house prices and a lower demand for exploited foreigners serving the spoiled brats their lattés.... F*** 'em...

All anyone needs to read is your reference to the Lisbon Treaty as a beacon of democracy, to determine who is a thick ****. Face it pal, your side lost and any opinions you have on the EU is just ******ing in the wind. No real need for you to debate any more, unless losing is a habit you enjoy.

If you think I'm a thick ****, you should listen to this thick ****, pal.

Latest news on this: My point was, you pile of festering Remainers, that if it is this hard to change EU tax laws to save a measly £15m after a unanimous Commons vote to do this, what chance did we have to do something important? I really give up on you lot. Totally brain washed by the large corporations and the London elite...

It would help if you guys could read: Luckily we voted to leave so the point is moot, but to repeat, EU law does not currently allow us to apply a zero rate of VAT to tampons until the EU member states all say yes...

It was "proposed" that they would be zero rated in March, 2016. In Euro speak "proposed" means "maybe in a couple of years". To quote from the EU Action Plan, which is published here: Interesting article on this topic, here:

Under the EU yoke, the House of Commons couldn't even abolish VAT on tampons, despite a unanimous vote for the proposal, by our democratically elected MP's. Tells you all you need to know about this corrupt and undemocratic organisation.

We're in charge of our own destiny but can't dictate terms, only negotiate them. Dictating terms is what the un-elected EU Commission and the European Court of Justice have been doing to us (you and me) for the past 40 odd years. Dictating as in what dictators do. You know, those leaders that ignore the results of elections or the will of the people that pay their inflated wages.

There is one thing that is certain, which is that the UK is in charge of it's own destiny now.

NIALL FERGUSON December 11 2016, 12:01am, The Sunday Times Sorry, I was wrong to fight Brexit to keep my friends in No 10 and No 11 Read all about it here.... The climb down starts and will soon be a stampede.

Let's see what the Italian minister says when they exit the euro and go back to the lire and the Italian banking sector collapses. Like most of the southern countries, they dart out from behind Frau Merkel's dress and poke their tongues out every so often and get a pat on the head from her. The Italians are screwed...

[h=1]Football sex abuse: Southampton contact police inquiry[/h]Southampton Football Club say they have contacted Hampshire Police after receiving information about allegations of historical abuse. The club say they are offering "full support" to the force in its probe into allegations in the Hampshire area.

Watch and listen. I think I'm in love.... http://www.theblaze.com/video/hypocrite-snowflakes-cry-for-fidel-castro/

If we remain in the customs union, with the freedom of movement that the EU demands, my money is on the entire government being out of a job, by 2020.

...and posters on here are moaning that the UK Government may have given an incentive to Nissan to stay here...

Here's something Nissan just made up:

Breaking News IMF warns Brexit could push UK back into recession, here. IMF and the Independent on the ball, as usual.

Old times... ...with thanks to Pancake...

You forgot about the booming Irn Bru exports to the EU that will more than make up for the oil revenue losses. That, together with the excellent reputation the Scots have for running banks and it will be the land of milk and honey for the sweaties if they vote out. The English Tory scum have been holding them back for centuries....

Trump card for the UK in the Brexit negotiations according to the Times is a cut in Corporation Tax to 10%. That will f*** the rest of the EU and our economy will grow like Singapore. Screw 'em and go for a hard Brexit and screw the banks as well and bring back manufacturing and jobs back to the UK. Real jobs not city gamblers....

Yes, there is, but to quote Churchill: After Article 50 is declared, I am hoping for goodwill....
