This is you, isn't it...... I've still got that tank top. You've still got that gormless expression too.

12 million people applied to be on the new series of the Great British Bake-Off. Apparently, it's the only way to get milk and eggs after Brexit on Oct 31st !
It's true I tell you !

Get a grip. Do you really think leaving the EU would be cost free? There will be one-off costs, no doubt. Open your mind, open your eyes. Try to look at the bigger picture. Malaysia are not very happy with the EU - "“The key is to rethink the European Union’s misguided policy on palm oil,” Mahathir said. “A fresh attitude toward palm oil, unencumbered by influential special-interest groups, could lead to even better trade terms between the UK and the region than it currently enjoys." Malaysia offers a good deal to the UKAustralia offers a quick deal. “If we face a no-deal scenario then we would be urging and encouraging the UK to negotiate and finalise an agreement as quickly as possible,” Mr Birmingham told the Financial Times. “I would absolutely hope that we would conclude negotiations this year.” - FTThe EU only has 15% of the World Trade, and that is declining. That means there is 85% elsewhere and growing. The EU are terrified that the UK could strike a good deal with the US, and many goods currently imported from the EU can be replaced by the same, cheaper goods from the US.

No problem when there are costs, as long as they are openly declared so that people can make an informed decision. Were they? No of course not. Malaysia? Yep, the EU correctly has applied pressure on them to stop destroying their rain forests to plant for Palm Oil. Perhaps you agree with destroying the natural habitat? As for Australia, of course. But like all trade treaties it takes time, everything is all bluster and bravado. Just because they are white and speak English wont make any easier.

What about the Ethanol added to your petrol. Huge areas of land are growing crops for this, when they should be growing food. Is your fuel 90% or 95% petrol? It doesn't matter, because apparently it helps the environment. Forget about growing food eh? "Just because they are white and speak English wont make any easier." - Blimey, you'll have some snowflakes complaining about the racist tones in that comment !

So, The answer to environmental destruction is to impose more? Interesting concept. Meanwhile, back at home "In the first four months of the financial year starting in April, Britain borrowed 16.0 billion pounds, up 60% compared with a year ago." That's before all the bluster and hubris our current charlatan of a PM, before the impact of Brexit on trading and tax receipts, before (I think, nobody seems to know) all the (laughably described) "contingency planning" costs have actually been incurred. All the while, James Cleverley, the Tory Party chairman, refused to publish the governments own research paper (Yellowhammer) on the impact of Brexit because the general population might "misconstrue" it. Ok then. The resident leaver genius in the Government, Michael Gove, maintained it was an old report and out of date. Reliable sources state however it was dated August 1st 2019. We being lied to again?? You think?

The EU are glad to destroy one part of the environment to boost their Green credentials with the fuel additives. Their objection to Malaysian Palm Oil is not based on environmental issues, but to protect EU farmers who produce things like Rapeseed Oil. As for the Yellowhammer Report, give me strength ! Heard it all before, and it was prepared by a Remain Government ! "UK expenditure strains budget as Johnson eyes more spending" - This is an interesting one. You complain time and time again about 'austerity', yet you now complain about the government spending money! Make your mind up!

What on earth does the story about the CEO of Cathay Pacific got to do with JRM? You're losing it in your desperation to find a story, any story.

What propaganda? Probably best if you refuse to discuss it eh, as once again you'll be shown to be wrong.

Relax guys, Trump will simply buy us as the 52nd State and turn us into a giant golf course. Where's the 51st gone? I was referring to the Greenland purchase request by Trump. Seems he has taken umbridge (no, not the village in the Archers 😁) and now has pulled out of a visit to Denmark. Nothing to do with Obama visiting around the same time, honestly.

Off topic I know, but a shining contrast in doing this compared to say, Jacob Rees-Mogg The Leader (🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡) of The House and resident fossil.
Jacob Rees-Mogg who co-founded Somerset Capital Management that has nearly all of its investments abroad in 'emerging markets' including Putin's bank in Russia that is under EU sanctions, the Chinese dairy industry 'Mengniu Dairy' (see Chinese contaminated milk scandal) etc. and has seem the value of investments increase due to the weaker pound.

That is a terrible article written by someone who has no idea how the financial markets work. I'm pretty sure that with his 25 rip roaring years in the City that Oldie will agree with me. Deary me, is this what passes for journalism these days.

More good news.... UK set to announce huge Asian trade deal despite 'Project Fear' ploy. "The agreement with South Korea will allow businesses to keep trading freely until after the October 31 exit date. The new free trade agreement also allegedly replicates the parameters of the current EU-South Korea trade deal which was signed in 2011. Recently appointed Trade Secretary, Liz Truss will apparently sign the deal with Korean Minister of Trade, Yoo Myung-hee in London." Trade deal with South Korea

Wouldn't pass muster in the financial analysis demanded in the City.

Deary me, is this what passes for journalism these days. A quote you often make. So in reference to the claim made in this article how do the financial markets work, in layman's terms??
