I don't think it's up to me to jump in defending other posters SH. but do you feel that you have a right to make assumptions about the private lives of other posters ? Not everybody on here has the need to boast about their own (supposed) achievements in life.
Do you know about 30 years ago I did voluntary work for a charity and we needed to raise some funds very quickly and i visited a student who signed and handed over without a comment his giro cheque.................................
There are millions of switched on people in the UK that manage to control their lives. We all have a choice whether to try or not. I would rather welcome a dinner party with Nigel and Jacob, very interesting characters.
One of the rules for this site is that you treat people with respect. Everyone who posts on here is an adult and should be quite capable of self-moderating. I don't believe anyone wants intervention constantly, so please all think about what you are saying.
I don't seem to be the only one with intent to look at options in the unlikely event of a Momentum election victory. Labour 'scenario planning' for run on sterling if elected
At least they do seem to be planning for an event that might or might not happen. The Tories could be faced with the same problem if there is no deal agreed with the EU. Oliver Letwin has warned that there is not enough planning going into that happening.
I'm sure the planning for a 'no deal' is sadly lacking although the reaction to her latest speech will confirm the EU are not serious about securing a decent deal for both parties. There seems to be a growing sense that the UK should now walk away. <img class="lazy-fallback" src="http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/1/183x122/858843_1.jpg" alt="Brexit news UK Jeremy Corbyn EU Labour Party conference video European Union " title="Brexit news UK Jeremy Corbyn EU Labour Party conference video European Union "> 'Enough is enough!' Britain must be prepared to abandon EU talks, says business tycoon JOHN MILLS, a Labour-supporting Brexiteer, has insisted the UK must stand strong and be prepared...
Not really.... I find the divisive nature of your debating rather boring actually.... but I guess it passes your time
Back to the comic I see! You agree that there is no planning for a no deal option. So what does that say? No matter what it costs there will be one. The speech that TM gave in Florence opened that option up. The biggest problem is still Ireland where there seems to be no decent option.
I did not say 'no planning', just undoubtedly insufficient planning. I much prefer some short term difficulties to the vision of Macron's super state, horrendous.
No planning, insufficient planning is splitting hairs. The trouble is you say short term difficulties, whereas most people who have their finger on the pulse don't see it as anything but a huge long term problem. The government is slowly showing signs of realizing that the country cannot just walk away. The tone has changed and reality is starting to kick in.
It will be a long term problem for EU exporters for sure. The UK can walk away and should rather than be humiliated. The tariffs under WTO rules are perfectly OK with the UK's other trade, they will suffice until free trade deals kick in.
The UK is already humiliating itself. There was all this talk about how the French wine producers would go out of business without the sales to the UK. Total rubbish of course as most of the exports go to the USA. There was all this talk about German car manufacturers not being able to survive without their sales to the UK. Total rubbish of course because they are already producing cars for other markets and have said they will suffer a bit, but can quickly make up the small UK market. The UK is a small country and we have seen countries all around the world lining up to do deals with the EU, not the UK.
Agree, the UK has put with the 'negotiations' farce for too long. Deals with the EU take ages, the UK will do much quicker deals, have faith. I'm currently drinking a smashing Australian merlot as we speak. When the free trade deals kick the non EU wine source will be far more competitive.
Which will mean more trade ploughing it's way from far flung corners of this earth - all in container ships which burn up 100,000 litres of heavy oil per hour. Any responsible person always buys products from the closest source. I have never bought a bottle of non European wine and never will do. I also have the World's best beer just next door (Belgium)
