Olof has shagged worse, but he has ****ed an entire country. Olof the tory will be as happy as a pig in **** if the appeal goes down (in law it must as the referendum was legislated as being consultative), May will call an election with brexit as part of her manifesto and wIth corbyns labour party being unelectable ( statement of fact) there will be a tory govenment for 15 years, if the sweatties **** off over brexit the tories will be in power for ever in England... Good work olof.
The problem is he does If Brexit goes pear shaped, the leave voters will not blame themselves, there will be plenty of politicians telling them its the conservative governments fault, the bearded one (or even worse, a hard left successor) may become a credible alternative - more to the point, may be seen as the only alternative That may be another reason to regret Brexit, we will see
I hoped we would vote Brexit, I swayed from believing we would leave to believing we wouldn't, I thought it would be close. I could see good and bad for both, to be totally honest if we had remained I wouldn't have kicked up a **** storm and screamed and cried, I would have accepted the vote. I thought Trump would win, just like Brexit there was 10% sitting on the fence in the polls, fence sitters usually mean they are going to vote for what many see as controversial but they don't want to be burnt at the stake for it. I personally feel Trump is better for a Brexit vote, Clinton would have dropped the UK to the back of a queue. Again, just an opinion, I might be wrong but who knows.. I knew my stocks and shares ISA would drop on a Clinton defeat so again, I could see good and bad no matter what the decision. What I am 100% convinced about is Corbyn will never win no matter what happens. Get shot of him and get a likeable figure in like Milliband senior and then it is a different story. Last three elections I have voted Labour Labour UKIP and the next one I won't hesitate in voting May as things stand
Agree with you that Trump may play well with our Brexit challenges, Ristac. Unless he's so protectionist no one gets a trade deal. Think he can see the parallels to himself and Brexit, and for sure Obama was not going to do anything to help us (and I doubt Clinton would have us at the front of the queue either). That's about the only positive I see from Trumps election. On Corbyn, my worry is he is sitting in the place that is the only alternative to the current PM. (Leaving aside fantasies about the LibDems becoming a winning force) That means, if he survives long enough then he could become PM. I disagree with you that its Impossible. Though it would need things to get pretty bad first. Also when I say Corbyn, I mean Corbyn or even worse a hard left successor like Mcwhateverhescalled. They are rigging the Labour voting system to make sure their mad supporters can keep them in power for ever.
Well that was short lived, FTSE dropped 2% on opening with the news of Trump, I checked again expecting a further drop and it's actually up on the day.
Speculators speculate shock horror: Did you see anyone here suggesting that a blip in the share prices this morning was significant. I have made a tidy some from the bookies and stock market today. I have also bought some very cheap Mexican mining stocks today because the Peso has devalued by 25% they were cheap as chips. The Peso will bounce back by the end of week in a correction of the initial kneejerk reaction and I shall sell at a profit 10% profit if the Peso only recovers half of what it lost this morning.
