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.

The government has no need to give any financial backing to Nissan. Any tariffs have been more than offset by the fall in the £.

Nissan are loving it here and don't Toyota have a big plant in Derby ?

This is a massive boost for our negotiating team.

thousands of americans over the years have been charged and jailed for a lesser crime than HER E MAILS WHICH WERE AGAINST THE USA RULES IT STINKS SHE SHOULD BE CHARGED AND JAILED FOR LIFe , or does the law in the states only apply to the poor

Tanker,

Come on, please! What utter drivel you are spouting! Think about it.

She hasn't even been charged with doing anything illegal yet, or been to trial for it, let alone even been found guilty. And you want to put her in the slammer for life?

Thank goodness you are not in charge of the law.

Marvelous isn't it??.. The French authorities are supposed to have bulldozed
the Calais 'jungle' last week, but it would appear that they have managed to
find 1500 women and children still at the camp...

Its a fecking joke, and subterfuge is at play, and the publics being taken for
fools AGAIN, the UK government after saying they were only going to take a
certain amount and age group, now after being cajoled and bullied by the French
and the bleeding heart liberals have capitulated, but it shouldn't surprise anyone
after all the EU said they wanted all EU countries to take their share, but the UK
wanted to make themselves out to be controlling immigration, when nothing of
the kind is happening, the UK are just doing the EU's bidding and 'taking' their
'share' of these immigrants ...


IN OTHER WORDS..LYING DECIEVING C***!!!

Perhaps, the UK will accept its humanitarian responsibilities.

This is the right time to be getting out of the EU.

As I've mentioned previously how many are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, U.A.E. taking?
Why does it seem that this is just for Europe to solve?

charity begins at home as is truthfully said

george - taking in shia refugees?? ...... that is indeed an interesting concept :-)

Most of them aren't even refugees.

Manuel's Charity Home?

The UK does more then enough, and have no reason other then to fulfill the
EU dikdat for eu countries to 'take in their share', the governments original
response of funding the refugee camps near their own countries, where billions
of pounds are spent from the overseas budget on the refugees that remain there,
was the correct response.

These 'refugees'?? are already in a SAFE, FREE country, they HAVE travelled
through SAFE, FREE countries to get to Calais, the reason they don't want to
register in the first free country they arrive in is because they would have to
remain in that country, instead of attempting to get to the land of milk and
honey(the UK)..


And how many of these immigrants are christian, who DO get persecuted
in these muslim countries?.... Not many, if any at all..

Once these 'refugees' reach europe they're no longer 'refugees', they are
then economic migrants...

Or Fifth column islamist....

or shite-hawks as my old dad used to say. Not that I would use such a term...

indeed fred, but more seriously, uk has plenty of genuinely needful cases in all sorts of areas ...... yes, there are some genuine political refugees who deserve asylum, but uk cannot absorb them all ..... and assuredly not just economic migrants and their families who fancy the idea of coming to uk because, as they admit, the benefit system is the tastiest

Manuel,

I am not suggesting a disproportional admission of "immigrants", whether they are fleeing from "oppression", "physical threats" or "economic or political" needs.

(Members of my own and recent family emigrated to America, Australia and Canada on economic "drives" and other members immigrated to this country on political and economic grounds. They all seem to have been economically productive.)

As far "drain" on the "economy" and "structures" of the UK the latter have shown their gratitude to the "structure" and economy and have given more than they have taken.)

I am uncertain to the balance of effects on the benefit system, i.e. how much is taken and how much given back, but would suggest considering the number of immigrants who are doing the low paid and often "dirty" jobs and also the effects of the "black" money on the economy as a whole.

(Would you scrub floors for a living at the usual pay per hour. How much do you pay for a meal when you eat out in comparison with their weekly earnings.)

Nor am I suggesting that the UK should be the only port of call.

That is one of the reasons for me advocating the EU (with its faults) with coordinated disproportion of "immigrants" and a stronger United Nations with not only responsibility but authority as well as ability to address such problems.

As stated before (4-5 years ago) if at the beginning of the recent problems Transit camps with decent "conditions" and administration has been set up, perhaps the problems would be smaller that they are now.

But Nimbyism and scapegoating will always get in the way.

Granny,

You seem to me to be one of the Uk's real 5th column.

fred, Never mind posting your usual rubbish and obfuscating rantings, why
don't YOU answer those questions and facts that i state in my post 74370?..

As to your ignorant foolish retort(74375)

You're only a 5th columnist if you're an alien person who infiltrates another
country in order to disrupt, cause disharmony, or do harm to the indigenous
population, and living under the guise of being law-abiding..It's called Trojan
horse infaltration..


I'm non of those things, and neither am i a first/second/third/fourth
generation immigrant...I'm ENGLISH and 'was' proud of it until the
multicultural liberal lefties took control and accused anyone of being
patriotic or nationalistic, xenophobes and racist..

HANG the Barsteward ( greedy sod )..........

Former BlackRock fund manager pleads guilty to insider dealing in UK

LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - A former fund manager at the London division of asset manager BlackRock Inc on Wednesday pleaded guilty to two counts of insider dealing in a London court.

Mark Lyttleton, 45, admitted buying shares shortly before public announcements about EnCore Oil Plc and Cairn Energy after working on deals or on the basis of conversations with colleagues, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said.

Lyttleton, who had been charged in September with three counts of insider dealing after being arrested in 2013, dealt through an overseas asset manager trading on behalf of a Panamanian registered company.

He will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Dec. 21.

Lyttleton worked at BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Ltd between 2001 and 2013, according to the FCA's register of financial appointments.

Blackrock, the world's largest asset manager, reiterated that it had been told by the FCA that the charges related to alleged actions carried out for personal gain, while off its premises. There was no impact to any of its clients, it said.

Insider dealing is a criminal offence in the UK and is punishable by a fine and up to seven years in jail.

The markets regulator has secured 30 insider dealing convictions since starting to prosecute the crime in 2009.

And what about that ...... a German not a French man they are too proud

Worth fighting for goal of keeping Britain in EU - German experts

BERLIN, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Britain's vote to leave the EU so far had hardly any impact on the German economy, but it is worth fighting for the goal to keep the country in the bloc, the head of Germany's council of economic experts said on Wednesday.

"Regarding Brexit, we see hardly any economic effects in the short term, of course we see the biggest (impact) on the United Kingdom itself," Christoph Schmidt, head of the so-called wise men, said during a news conference.

He added that the biggest problem for the EU was the political fallout from a Brexit. "Our conclusion therefore is that it is worth fighting for so that in the end Brexit doesn't happen," Schmidt said.
