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.

Tanker,

Do us a favour and stay in Florida.

Interesting the Euro-zone is said to have all the problems, but the Euro is up against the pound.

Since the coalition is in "charge", or looking for the next U-turn, how much is sterling down against the Euro and dollar.

Devaluation with no upturn in GDP

No expectancy of even short term growth which is generally expected.

But, Bulldog Britain is showing true grit.

I would prefer to have Blustering Cameron on the lead and the Bulldog leading him.

But he sure thinks he can lay down the rules for 20+ other countries.

--------

What is the population of the UK and that of the 17 or 20+ Euro countries?

He is -------------- into the wind and its running down his trousers.

---------------------------

I see the Trade Balance came in 1.9B better than expected.

Boris said "Cameron played a blinder" but really meant "Cameron played like a blind mind" and please move over.

No disrespect to the blind who can see more clearly than "the dear leader".

Bill Cash or Boris for leader of the tory rump.

------------------

Just a thought, will this craziness when the dust settles down end with a split in the tory party.

(The Cons and the Mods.)

Who will the "City" or Aschroft pay?

fred what do the people in the uk get out of a corupt eu

Skinny,

Does that mean the government policies are "back on track"?

-------------

Just listening to Cash.

The word "Tribal" springs to mind.

mnamreh - I use this link for key market moving news/figures - if you click on the icon in the 'detail' column - you get a limited description. And yes - its the overall figure.

.

S,

Can I use that site as well.

Very useful.

Thanks.

Fred - who can say at this juncture, but the markets have picked up 50 points since 9:30 - which is nice

Its quite a useful site - and unlike others offering similar, it is updated fairly quickly as news is released.

Finally the truth is out, the EU will have a new club to which the UK will not be a member.
So we now have a very clear choice, we either,
1 Stay in the old club, sitting on our own in the darkest, furthermost back room sitting at the bar, alone like the old man mopping into his pint.
2 We resign our membership.

Benefits of choice 1.
None.
Benefits of choice 2.
Immediate benefit of cost, as the UK is a net contributor to the EU.
Return to our own employment, immigration, health and safety, agricultural, fisheries law and most important of all Human Rights (tried up with immigration of course).
There are no doubt many more benefits that others may see, but the above is just a taster.
Surely the UK must now hold a referendum.
THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE!

We won't be on our own. There are other countries in the EU and NOT in the Eurozone.

Ed Miliband has just been speaking on the BBC, re the EU and Cameron.
He stated that he feels that Cameron has done a bad deal as 'He has walked away'
Cameron had 2 choices, either use the veto or not, negotiating further was obviously not an option.

When pushed about what he would have done, Miliband just reiterated the above, He did not attempt to say what he would have done differently.

He's far more useless than Cameron.

What's your view on this.

Oh dear! David Cameron is in big, big trouble again! This time it's for urinating in the street!

David Cameron - foul language and urinating in the street

Ed Milliband - the Labour leader who stabbed his brother in the back.

That's the sort of 'deal' he does.

Hi Aldwickk,

Read it this morning in the Telegraph.
Although absolutely disgusted by it, I was not surprised.

If the facts are as reported, the Police were obviously negligent.
I just hope the Builder takes the Police Authority to court to try and recoup any losses.

What's the point of this new agreement when no one has ever stuck to any of the previous ones if they didn't want to ?

EUR still gonna fall apart at some point imo.
