Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Meanwhile, with Corbyn's continued failure to nail his colours to the mast, you're not seeing much change here...

Looks similar to the chart on would we vote to leave in the referendum and we all know how that ended.

With all due respect, Cyners, that chart is almighty important if you want to make any serious money from these shennanigans!!!

Hils , so all the goods coming here will arrive on time according to the French but everything entering the EU could arrive late ????

So why should we give a shit ? Most goods are shipped ex works so going on what you say the extra cost will be on the EU side.

And I bet people thought they were making easy money lumping on a no vote when the chart was over 90% for a no vote after the exit polls.

Who knows about the delays, Dil. Puissesseau is the boss of Calais port, and I suspect he was talking through fear of losing business to rival ports after Grayling awarded the contract to the firm with no ships to operate the Margate-Ostend route (???).

My experience is that I've seen lorries backing up big time in both Calais and Dover previously for no apparent reason. The French always blame the Brits, and the Brits always blame the French. (edit: and they're just passport control and security checks, there is no need for customs checks at the moment)

:o)

Dil,

I'm not so sure there's serious money to be made on the political betting markets - I would've thought it's quite a thin market. But the political events are certainly driving the currency markets right now, and that trend suggesting Brexit's likely to be delayed is driving cable.

Interesting talk about the mess that parliament and the country are in over Brexit.

Remember Cameron and Osborne and a tory clique created the problem...

They merely brought forward the breaking point. The UK isn't moving with the EU to the United States of Europe - distance growing until snap.

"The UK isn't moving with the EU to the United States of Europe - distance growing until snap."

Breaking point what breaking point are you talking about KidA, do you mean the isolation that not being part of what you call the United States of Europe would bring?

ah well hils, you're a zillion times more clever than me in making money in the markets, but knowing my limitations, i'm not one of those mugs who try day-trading

Fred , why the hell should any of us care what you want for your grand children's future when you yourself care so little you couldn't be arsed to vote ???

Dil,

I wouldn't expect you to be.

Your self-interest and self-aggrandizement are immediately apparent.

Must be the sheep you bleat with!

The French want rid of Macron - huge numbers of sensible Labour supporters really want rid of JC but because they have been bullied and brow beaten into submission they fall into line like members of the Party that support Putin. The Tories voted to keep TM a short time ago, and most voters in the Country voted for her at the last GE.

However if you listen to the views of a vast number of working people, they think the PM has done a fair job when it comes to trying to get a deal even though many are Labour supports - why is this? I suggest it is because they know that JC has not got a clue which hand would vote for or against Bexit.

Who said anything about day trading, Cyners? Sterling's been rising steadily since the start of the year, and the rise has coincided with the odds of Article 50 being extended.

But, even without that chart, you just need to listen to the noise on these threads to get an idea. When a no deal Brexit looks likely, Dil posts his tic toc clock every other day, and sterling weakens. When Dil's clock stops, as it has done recently, sterling strengthens.

:o)

I have a friend who likes a gamble, usually on the gee-gees, and despite wanting Brexit he thought the chances of a remain vote on the referendum was so certain he stuck £800 on remain to win £100.

Needless to say he now sticks to gee-gee’s, which is much more predictable

Isolation, chaos, crash; keep repeating, I guess it works otherwise why would business spend the billions on advertising? As for isolation, what isolation? The same we have re the rest of the world?

Dear Martin,

Last night the government's atrocious Brexit deal was crushed by parliament.

Theresa May's humiliating defeat has plunged the country into crisis.

The country deserves a proper government. Labour has called a vote of no confidence and is on a snap election footing. Today at Prime Minister's Questions, Jeremy Corbyn piled on the pressure to hold this failing government to account.

The response from supporters like you has been incredible.

Since last night, nearly 7,000 Labour supporters have chipped in. Thank you so much.

If you want to put money in the hat, there's still time.

We want to give the country the government it desperately needs. Will you help?

Yes, I'll chip in £1
Yes, I'll chip in £3
Yes, I'll chip in £8
You are part of a proud, passionate movement, and if a general election happens, we'll be ready to fight.

Thank you.

Team Labour

Meanwhile back in the real world , Fred doesn't really give a shit about his grand children's future but just uses them as an excuse for his own views. Football supporters like you are known as armchair fans.

Armchair Fred , I like that.
