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...

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....

Smiffys "younger generation" took a £1.3M dividend from a £1,886,015 profit in 2015. No wonder the c**t is part of "just a big happy family". If he had stated that he is moving to the Netherlands to protect his profits and the dividend trough he and his smug family are feeding from, I'd understand. All this "looking to secure both the future of the company and its employees." is total b0ll0x, but you lads lap it up. Watch him lay all the staff off and blame the Tories... BTW, are clown shoes part of the retail price index? Whitey will be very worried about inflation if they are.

This is the heart of the problem wrt Brexit and why it is so upsetting to Verbal. Buying from China in dollars is more expensive due to the exchange rate movement the currency traders are causing. So, to explain in more detail: Clown Shoes from Smiffy=£12.49 Clown Shoes from China=$14.39 So, pre-Brexit Vote Chinese Clown Shoes cost (at $1.55/£) £9.28 Post Brexit Vote Chinese Clown Shoes cost (at $1.22/£) £11.80 So...Verbal will have to pay an extra £2.52 for his clown shoes, if Smiffy's maintain their current margins. Luckily, if they decide to cut the margin they charge, it won't affect Smiffy's very much, because the shareholders take out most of the profits in dividends, rather than investing in the business. I'm not sure how moving to the Netherlands will help them, though. I guess Verbal could move with them and the cost of his clown shoes would be protected from currency movement (assuming the value of the euro doesn't collapse after Deutsche Bank/Italy/Greece/Portugal/Spain go bust)

You're welcome. They do a great line in clown's shoes if yours are worn out...

I wouldn't believe all you read in the newspaper, or what the company director is telling them above. Just for fun, I had a look at the latest set of accounts from "Smiffy's". Their chairman, Ray Peckett said in the annual report, dated 21st September, 2016, less than a month ago, the following: As far as their sales in 2015, the breakdown is as follows: [TABLE=width: 500] [TR] [TD]Analysis of turnover[/TD] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]2014[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]£[/TD] [TD]£[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Sale of goods[/TD] [TD]56,002,006[/TD] [TD]56,608,271[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]By geographical market:[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]UK[/TD] [TD]33,097,314[/TD] [TD]33,207,986[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Rest of world[/TD] [TD]22,904,692[/TD] [TD]23,400,285[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Total[/TD] [TD]56,002,006[/TD] [TD]56,608,271[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] In other words, I think the director making the statement to the Independent is full of sh!t and any plans they have to move to Holland is more to do with cheap, exploited, box stuffing, EU labour than Brexit. Maybe someone would explain to me why the f*** a company, which sells 2 thirds of it's vital costume, fancy dress, joke and novelty goods in £ sterling would move their operation to the EU post Brexit.....

Listen to the OWTS songs!!!!!!

So, as my son and many mates are in Milan and I am at work, all I can do is have this on my monitor. Great live feed and it helps ease the pain of having to work. Anyone got links to any others?

Actually, I know that maize is not the same as wheat, but to a f**king cow eating it as animal feed there is f**k all difference apart from the price, which, when UK wheat, (used mainly for animal feed), is sold, competes with maize imports (maize, mainly grown using GM seed varieties as animal feed) The reason you don't see much maize grown in the EU is because the European corn root borer eats it all as we are not allowed to grow GM crops that express Bt, a natural insecticide. Now, stop dribbling and googling at the same time. You're getting the keyboard wet...

Read below for an up to date summary, not your pre-Brexit, scaremongering b0ll0x (for your information, the EU has banned GM crops for absolutely no reason): The total farm income benefit of $150.3 billion was divided almost equally between farmers in developing (51%) and developed countries (49%) Because of the EU, our farmers have benefited by the square root of f'all. Now back on ignore for you, Mr. Clueless Google user....

We make up from the loss of the CAP by paying less into the EU. You just don't get it, do you. The EU has been bribing farmers with their own money for years. When we stop paying, we will get double back for not having to subsidise inefficient French farmers. You're not very smart, are you?

Don't make out you know anything about the UK farm economy, because you know squat... Read this and learn... But, I hear you ask, Ukraine isn't even in the EU, so how can they export to the EU on a tariff-free basis and the UK, when it leaves the EU, won't? Maybe when Russia invades Scotland we'll be in the same situation....
