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.

now you have all had your little rants, it's worth contemplating what complexion brexit will now have
i don't think "hard brexit" was actually on the table as interpeted, but was just an opening stance ....... unless your corbyn, why on earth would you say you were going to be a pussy cat?

will TM be there to see the whole thing through?

imo, probably as while she may be "mortally wounded" as some papers have it, there is no one who comes immediately to mind to take her place ...... i agree JR-M is a great guy, but he really is not the one to lead the country any more than is BJ
furthermore, leadership contests will distract everyone and make brexit discussions to that point of questionable value

Good old beeb asking people why they voted Labour , but not a mention of where the money comes from to pay for their dreams .

Vicky,

You have deep pockets or a large handbag.

I sure you will help out.

I'm not trained in mental heath .

It's called Corby's magic money tree V. Everything free.


What's not to like?

I've just seen it said that if you don't expect to win you can promise the Earth , well that's exactly what's happened here , people already forget that . That's what caused this , both sides got it wrong .

Just viewing the Andrew Marr Show

According to George Osborne Theresa May is a dead woman walking!

Good to have friends in high places.

PS.

I would love to see JRM as leader of the con party.

It would be a fitting end to both of them.

Doesn't take a genius to work that out does it , just when does she go . So Osborne your mate now i suppose the man you ridiculed extensively .

Vicky,

Have a lie-down.

I think you are becoming delusionary.

It's good to see you recognize delusion , does that come from experience then . I love ping pong .

Jeremy Corbyn says he is ready to lead the country with the backing of
the SNP, LibDem, Greens, C.C, Monster Raving Loony Party, and imans
from the Finsbury Park mosques..

With the financial backing of red Ken McCluskey..

Anyway looks like Boris , some hate and some have affection for him , would it be a third own goal for Cons .

The great white is circling...


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson

The newspapers would love Boris so much to go on .

Treesa is history.

Well I can't see how May can continue and the best time for a new leader to be elected would be during the summer recess imo.

Philip Hammond as interesting as wallpapering .

Hammond is a remainiac, as is Rudd...not acceptable imo.

Bojo will assuredly be favourite
however, though he is a very bright and clever chap, i would find it difficult to take him seriously .... he has had a chance to change his image as foreign secretary, but has still chosen to play the buffoon rather too often for comfort


the only other of the above to be worth considering might be david davis, but i don't know anything about him


meanwhile, corbyn and his puppet-master must be rubbing their hands with glee, though (as with all politicians) primarily for their own ends and agenda rather than for the good of the country

Manuel,
You ask what the effects on Brexit will.

At the end of 4years the UK will be not have a seat at the “big tables” in Brussels and Strasbourg.

They will not be able to affect the trading, legal or political rules which effect “trading” in and out of Europe. (Tariffs will be increased to facilitate this trade.

Immigration will be slightly less, as fewer “foreigners” for economic reasons and possibly educational reasons will wish to come to the UK, preferring the ease of movement in the EU block.

“Costs” of “trading” will be higher and be faced with more complicate rules and regulations.

The “balance of trade” argument about EU trade with the UK is important I think is less strong when you consider the proportion of UK export trade with the EU is 45% and 5 and import is 53%.

But you could remember the 53% is divided by the 27 different countries. I.e a smaller effect on the individual country’s economy.

Carrying goods through or around Europe will add to costs.

(IT slightly different and financial trading will be different as can be seen by recent movements in various companies.)
-==--=-

I think it would be more sensible to be sitting at the “big” tables and chatting, rather than shouting from outside the room.

Mind with Boris and Trump working together we can always rely on our close allies to loan us another couple of billion.

But of course, the Brexiters will puff out their chest and think any deal is a success, even NO DEAL, which in itself is a DEAL!
