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.

Maybe Boris and Nigel might along with Mog & others form a new party - " Free British Union Party"

The Pound is weaker again supposedly on worries of a No Deal outcome. I find it strange that the Euro is so strong against the Pound when there is constant media talk (Capital & Conflict for one) that the EU and therefore the Euro may implode due to Italy's debt mountain, or the Germans having had enough of funding the likes of Italy and Greece with no prospect of it being paid back decide to stop.

It should come back then, eh?

Not necessarily according to C&C if/when Italy renege on their debt many currencies will suffer including the £.

the burka, its use is is not english , also have a wrong effect on others p sycic.
do not underestimate, the burka & its power.

2517,

My guesses are, the foreseen problems are :

(Approximates)

UK has 13% of EU Population

UK's GDP 7.4% of "Total" EU GDP

GDP growth is low compared to EU as a whole.

UK is 1 country within 27/28.

Movement of goods is likely to be impeded. (They are already geographically to some extent but the problem is not likely to be diminished, by borders.)

The currency "exchange" has "hidden" costs.

I would think the outlook and the sterling currency pushes it down the security table.

Which serves to emphasise the importance of the UK as a buyer from, as opposed to a seller, to the EU

There are 27 countries within the EU who are going to have a big problem unless the unelected bureauprats soften their stance.

Dilute the individual country's imports by 27 compared with UK's exports.

Rough and ready comparison of relative problems.

I think Ruth Davidson is way off the mark in comparing the Burka to the wearing of a Christian crucifix

When May comes back with an offer of "The Jersey Deal" she will be the one getting her P45 from the Party and the Public.

I assume you all know what "The Jersey Deal" is?

A good looking bunch.

The revival of the tory party!

Welcome to Boris Land.

...

You don't have to affect 27 countries, just the right ones.

Theresa May just has to go, I think, and the sooner the better.

Unfortunately for me, although I do totally agree with Boris' burka article (ie. we don't need a law in the UK to prevent them being worn - but, when they are worn, the wearer looks like 'a letterbox' or 'a bank robber', etc) I cannot give him my support to be the next Conservative Leader/Prime Minister.

I think JRM just has to be the man for the job, albeit that he probably doesn't want to do the job for the moment and probably feels, "maybe later - in a few more years' time).

Anyone else think, that Boris is now on the political war path?
