Agree, the 3 years of uncertianty needs to end. Business will find the loopholes quick enough once they know what the rules are
Had a chuckle at the doom and gloom media today The usual subjects, Labour and media are complaining about the £2.1 billion being spent on brexit preparation, whilst saying it is a waste and should be spent on something elsezzzzzzzzzzzz. They continue to not mention much of this preparation is needed whether we have a deal or no deal, whether it be a clean break or a soft brexit. I saw the Governor of the Bank of England give his last report before October the 31st and he said there is a 1 in 3 chance of recession and that would apply whether we have an exit with a soft deal or a clean break and onto free trade/wto. He also reduced the growth forecast for the next two years from 1.5% to 1.35% On the forecast, he is still predicting growth for the U.K. and as many brexiteers have said, it is expected to be lower within the short term, probably 2-3 years, as a re-balance but it's still growth. The governor mentioning 2020/2021 is significant. Now when he says a 1 in 3 chance of a recession, being the depressive remainer he is, it actually means a 2 in 3 chance of no recession at all. With him also viewing a clean break wto/free trade deal the same as a soft brexit, it means it makes very little difference as far as the bank of England are concerned between the two So Happy days all round.
So by comparison, fairly optimistic? https://www.euronews.com/2019/07/31/europe-s-economy-is-slowing-down
As crazy as Lord Adonis is, I thought this was a bit of a silly and unnecessary comparison from his twitter earlier https://twitter.com/Andrew_Adonis/status/1156808893353332736
Shock horror. We're all to eat 'Christmas food' apparently from October onwards. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/en...tion_uk_5d430fd7e4b0acb57fc91c6a?guccounter=1
Excellent. I love parsnips and only usually get them on my Christmas dinner. Does this also mean we'll get our Easter Eggs in January? Brexit can't come soon enough.
It’s a lot closer to being intact than Irish reunification It’s intact in the sense that the majority of laws you seem worried about would still be generated by Stormont, should that get going again and Westminster Defence Health Education Pensions Etc Have you seen the polling on Irish reunification? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....s-of-irish-would-vote-for-united-ireland/amp/ I will repeat again. I said, everyone is a winner and a loser. There is no clear cut solution to this problem. Only the ERG / old colonial / rule Britannia idiots believe that to the be the case If NI goes, it makes it easier and more for Scotland to go also. I wish you guys would look further ahead
If it's anything like my experience with the French once I got to 69 it went no further..... but it had been a while.
Right, the irish times explains the american beef now allowed into the eu The eu has a quota every year of 45,000 tonnes of non hormone beef from outiside the eu, This number was almost all supplied by the south american meat producers/country The recent eu-Mercosur trade agreement with a group of South American countries will now allow 99,000 tonnes of South American beef enter the EU market annually as well as poultry, and other farm products This meant they had left the 45,000 tonnes a year arrangement, America seeing a chance to get a foot in the door of the european beef and farm industry, have now negotiated to fill the gap, the south americans used to fill. In trade terms, within the last 4 months, the eu have allowed an extra 99,000 tonnes per year of beef into the eu to compete against eu farmers, and, access to the Americans who are already saying this is the first step in getting into the eu farmers market https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/us/trump-announces-agreement-on-beef-trade-with-eu-1.3975741
