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.

IT.

Repetition.

Reginald Maudling left the same message for Callaghan in 1964.

It was a parting joke.

Have a look at the reasons for sale of gold. Have a look at the fluctuation of gold prices prior to that period.

Not justifying the decision, but have a look at Black Wednesday and Torrid inflation of at 21.9% in 1980.

Managed by the tories. Seems it might happen again.

Have a look at Tory devaluation of pound under Lamont an inflation in the tory 90s of 29%.

The tory boys are barrow boys and hangers-on in fancy clothes.


Hey ho.

"In politics and economics, Black Wednesday refers to 16 September 1992, when the British Conservative government was forced to withdraw the pound sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) after it was unable to keep the pound above its agreed lower limit in the ERM. In 1997, the UK Treasury estimated the cost of Black Wednesday at £3.4 billion.[1] In 2005, documents released under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that the actual cost may have been slightly less, £3.3 billion.[2] Until the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union in June 2016 it was the most significant event[according to whom?] to happen during its time as a member of the European Communities (EC)/European Union (EU) and was made even more embarrassing as the United Kingdom was holding the Presidency of the European Communities at the same time.
The trading losses in August and September were estimated at £800 million, but the main loss to taxpayers arose because devaluation could have made them a profit. The papers [clarification needed] show that if the government had maintained $24 billion foreign currency reserves and the pound had fallen by the same amount, the UK would have made a £2.4 billion profit on the pound sterling's devaluation.[3][need quotation to verify]"




(Take into consideration inflation when looking at the figures.)

Chairman Jeremy wants to leave too Fred, or had you forgotten?

And, he want to hand out free stuff to everyone, lots! What a scrummy deal from our Jeremy.



Anyway, you seem to be getting your wish, Treesa is history.

But not yet.

I wonder how long she will last?

stan @ FRED IF YOU LOSE AT THE BALLOT BOX TAKE TO THE STRETS AND RIOT

BURN CARS BURN DOWN HOMES BUSINESSES THATS THEIR VIEW AS LEFT WING

...Say good night Dick.

those thugs in hamburg your left wing thugs were a disgrace it showed the world what you lot stand for .

if you can not win at the box riot

The remainiacs in the Tory party are determined to cause havoc. She was turgid during the GE but she was voted party leader and must now deliver Brexit. She can win back popular support by being more vocal against the EU turds that keep threatening the UK and doing something about limiting foreign "aid". We all know that the EU politicians couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag, but she needs to be pro-active in beating them up. The nonsense about EU nationals is an example. She should publicly declare that there will be no more negotiations on the issue. Take it or leave it. Maybe she should go on Twitter...

stan why is it that you left wing people think its ok to riot on streets destroy property
burn cars why can you people not except democracy
those left wing scum in HAMBURG ARE JUST THAT LEFT WING SCUM
and you and fred support these scum
if you lose at the ballot box riot

Bad losers. It's always the same. The public reject the left and they can't accept it. It's the same old refrain, "we was robbed".

notice all stan fred never respond to honest facts

No. They don't.

Bloomin' 'lefties'! That's what they are! All they do is riot!

They are probably away on holiday now, probably after rioting in Hamburg (and probably with OUR money too).

Ah well.

:o)

sorry to say, but the hard marxist lefties have been given an open door in uk
the tory gov't is in deepest shit

cynic I disagree with that its those that want to sell off the uk that is the CANCER in the uk

corbyn is a traitor a coward and a very dishonest person trying to get the poor to riot on our streets this vile man stood up and spoke at a music festival were 50% were on drugs alcohol what a stupid person ,

I'm afraid Alf's last post above just shows the level of Tory rhetoric followed by their paranoia on display by inane thinking..

You should all be watching Wimbledon .

Has Murray lost yet?

Stan,

Yes, Manuel does lower the tone of this thread.

But he is right.

Even "righter" than Oswald Mosley, but they wouldn't have had him as a member.

8-)

He is always seeing beneath the surface.
