Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Nicola Sturgeon is maximising uncertainty and damaging prosperity by “touting” a second independence referendum, Scottish Secretary David Mundell has said. Mr Mundell called on the First Minister to take a firm line with the “fanatics” in her party who are “obsessed” with another vote on leaving the UK in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. Nicola Sturgeon has said that a second referendum is “highly likely” after Scots voted for the UK to stay in the EU while the UK as a whole backed Brexit. Mr Mundell said yesterday: “There are indications that some people in the SNP just simply see this situation as an opportunity to further the cause of independence, regardless of the EU issue. “Nicola Sturgeon, instead of reducing uncertainty in Scotland, is maximising it by threatening another independence referendum. “That’s not the way to increase business confidence in Scotland. She needs to take the independence issue off the table. I know it’s very hard for her because she has a lot of very fanatical people who are obsessed with having another independence referendum. But after my meetings with business and a cross section of people across Scotland, there’s no mood for another independence referendum.” He insisted the situation is “already having an impact” on business. “There’s already additional uncertainty in Scotland because the prospect of a second independence referendum is being touted,” he said.

I have been saying that for a long time , if we get stitched up UKIP will be getting a lot of votes .
I don't think Haystack understands in his post , we voted OUT and a large amount of those voters in the North and down the East coast will not be happy if we don't get Brexit ,just about everybody i ask who voted to leave has said the same thing ,if we get Brexit light i shall vote UKIP.

Haystack has all but come out of the closet...he is, and always was, a remainer.

It's only a matter of time before he abandons his first love (dave) and goes full on for his nu love (T.May)

I do like May, but I voted leave.

This may surprise you. Cameron more popular than Blair by a long way.

Look at the FTSE since Brexit , do they feel a bit silly ?

jimmy b(73047), and the ftse 250 has excelled too, which is a more representative,
and is now higher then before the referendum.

You are not allowed to say things like that granny.

Oooppss...I thought the 'remainer's' would still be fast asleep in bed...LOL!

The Corby v Smiffy debate went down a treat.

Smiffy trying for a re-run of the referendum, and Corby blowing that idea out of the water...the punters loved it.

And the FT has still talked Britain down desperate for a recession .

I wondered where the purveyor of misery got to . Dear Freda .

i see happy larry is busy cluttering the site once more with oversized graphs and other stuff

Run out of grapefruits to suck!

Perhaps, the truth should be according to the waiter and his mates.

Fred.

How about you quote and paste like for like charts for the rest of the €urozone?

You might then be able to see through the fog of €urobollox statistics.

Blighty might be bad, but €uroland is a lot lot worse...and it has nothing to do with brexit.


Here is some commentary that you might want to avoid, cos it should shatter quite a few of your illusions.

It's in the Guardian Fred, so it must be true.

He may look like he should be pickled himself, but I like Eric Pickles. He says it as it is:

In a hard-hitting report, Sir Eric Pickles says there is evidence of pressure being put on vulnerable members of some ethnic minority communities in elections.
He says women and young people in particular have been urged to vote according to the will of elders, especially in communities of Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds.
Presenting an action plan to the new Prime Minister Theresa May on electoral fraud, he attacks the failures of town halls, police and election watchdogs to detect, prevent and prosecute election fraud.
And the former Tory chairman Communities and Local Government Secretary claims it is politically correct sensibilities that have led to the state turning a blind eye to corruption in town halls.
In his report, which contains dozens of recommendations on stopping election fraud, Sir Eric attacks the Metropolitan Police for failing to follow up the election court's ruling with criminal charges.
"Last year's court ruling in Tower Hamlets was a wake-up call that state bodies need to do far more to stamp out corruption and restore public confidence," said Sir Eric.
We all know it is going on. Time to stop pussyfooting around, put multi-culturalism in the bin where it belongs and make these people behave, or prison. And ban the burka. Silly idea that shouldn't be allowed in any civilised country.
