    What's positive about it? It has virtually nothing to do with Brexit and you've ignored the enormous negatives in the same article. What do you have to gain from pretending Brexit is a roaring success while simultaneously moaning that it's not happened yet when there is negative news?

    Of course, positive news has nothing to do with brexit, but negative news does, and the prophesies of some on here..... :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    And how just like you to have nothing accurate, relevant, interesting or funny to add. Just tedious attention seeking. :emoticon-0118-yawn:

    Even you aren't deluded enough to not see the difference in relevance between our politicians being clueless to the point of our most senior negotiator walking away months before negotiations start and manufacturing increasing a bit after a crap summer.

    Good to see Kustard liking your stuff. The next step is teaching him what any of it means.

    Don't know much about him, but he's got a lot of experience with Russia, which should help him with the various anti-EU campaigns! <laugh>

    Any opinion on this appointment?

    Hardly bad news about construction, FTSE etc, no matter how much you try to play it down.

    Some guy I doubt you'd heard of and whose failed negotiations played a part in triggering the referendum resigning earlier than the November he'd planned, is only 'doom and gloom' because the beeb told you it was.

    The negotiations will be being carried out largely by big business leaders, the politicians will be formalising it.

    Anyone seen Le Pens interview yesterday.

    Apparently she doesn't want to leave the EU or come out of the Euro.
    She wants a reintroduction of the Franc so French people can choose which currency they prefer.

    The Euro ambassador was dead man walking, the financial news is neutral (equally good/bad) and we are none the wiser as to what May wants out of Brexit.
    It's called the road runner effect as I understand from an Article by an economist. You keep running despite being beyond the edge of the cliff and it's only when you look down that you fall.

    She must have been monitoring the UK government formulating its Brexit "plan".

    Yep I can see Alan Sugar and Mike Ashley there now. Our most senior diplomat is only there to make the tea.

    I'm not saying it's bad news if manufacturing or the FTSE is performing well. I'm saying it has little to no relevance to Brexit while the diplomat story clearly did.

    I read she wants to regain sovereignty by ditching the Euro for the Franc, but soften any economic difficulties by adopting the ECU (the basket of currencies before the Euro).

    Sugar and Ashley? What are you burbling on about?

    The bit about the FTSE etc having little to do with brexit, is simply you catching up what I've been pointing out since day one, and your buddies have been saying I was wrong, so welcome to the other side. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I've posted links to her interviews previously, but some chose to not view them, and make incorrect assumptions on what she said instead.

    A winky face. Crack that bottle of Harvey's open.

    Why mention the FTSE at all then apart from your desperate attempt to pin anything good on Brexit? The relevant stories are clearly not positive. That March deadline will be here soon.

    Which business leaders will be negotiating then? Has May appointed them yet?

    You really haven't got to grips with much of this at all have you. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It's not a desperate attempt to pin things on brexit, more to point out we don't live in a brexit bubble, as you agree with me on, and I've been saying time and again. If you'd read instead of looking for an argument, and seeing this thread as being them and us, you'd perhaps have noticed.

    May will not be appointing the business leaders, no. That's not how the world works.

    This is very much interpretation and she wasn't 100% clear.

    The direct translation as best as I can tell is
    'I want a national currency with the Euro as a common currency'.
