"Scummins gone Vaccine close Trump gone BoZo on the ropes Just got to get back in the EU and normal service will have been resumed" Well we will probably get a deal The deal will very likely cost the UK far in excess of what it cost to be a full member of the EU Never mind, we'll be free to do whatever they tell us with absolutely no input into the rules we will need to obey to get our "free trade deal" God help the young people that will eventually have to fix this shit | |||

"Scummins gone Vaccine close Trump gone BoZo on the ropes Just got to get back in the EU and normal service will have been resumed" However Cummings was not even an MP and was due to leave at the end of December in any event. On a simplistic basis he left his job six weeks earlier than expected. Trump was good for the American economy, just look at the performance of numerous USA companies such as the Deere Corporation . The vaccine is good news assuming that there are no side effects. We can safely assume that the Conservative party will be in power for 4 more years. Even if Boris stepped down , there are plenty of candidates to take his place , all of whom are extremely capable. | |||

There is zero chance of getting rid of them anytime soon. | |||

"Isnt anyone going to ask about the good reasons for leaving the EU today ? "I understand why people are frustrated and ask. But the reality is, it's just a stick to bash leavers with. There are no logical reasons for leaving, and yes it's frustrating that the country has been voted into a cluster fuck and it's an epic waste of hundreds of billions of pounds etc etc. As we're now past the point of no return. All there is left is to make fun of people who are still clinging to the Brexit dream. I'm just as guilty of this as much as the next person. Should really stop. | |||

"Cargo cults are marked by a number of common characteristics, including a "myth-dream" that is a synthesis of indigenous and foreign elements; the expectation of help from the ancestors; charismatic leaders; and lastly, belief in the appearance of an abundance of goods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult Any of this sound familiar? | |||

It would take 15 years of continuously being £800 better off just to break even from the £200 billion hit we've taken this year.

" So it is possible that the leave campaign won by doing a better job of ‘scaring the masses’? " Quite possibly. But with other extenuating factors of course - including very many of those listed above. See most of the things listed above are not speculative thinking, they are in fact generally the truth about the way the EU fundamentally operates. Sadly not very democratically most of the time. Of the Two 'so called' Levels of Democracy within the EU (European Council and the European Parliament) The European Council - unelected members - out 'Politic' the European Parliament - the individual Heads of Member Countries - time and time again. And this has long been the palpable distaste that people have had for the 'fundamental anti-democratic' nature of the EU as it stands now. | |||

" The issue is that as every day passes the likelihood of a positive outcome any time soon appears to be getting smaller, ideological reasons apart I don't see our or the next generation seeing any benefits. I couldn't give a stuff about the EU or any of the bullshit politics, but I do think however we have more in common with european citizens than the US, India or any other country. My loyalty is to the pound in my pocket and the cold hard fact is it was devalued by brexit and it looks as if it will buy less from January. Again if anyone has evidence that there will be an economic boost please share. PS my budget needs more than £800 a year to break even next year. | |||

Joking apart , the 2016 referendum was a sham, both sides lied and in my opinion both sides shouldn’t have been allowed to campaign . They should both have produced their reasons for staying or leaving that were checked and ratified by an independent source, and left it at that. I know that would have been nearly impossible these days with social media etc but if you want a true result then you can’t allow both sides to tell unsubstantiated lies | |||

" Again if anyone has evidence that there will be an economic boost please share. " The UK, in particular, has seen little economic benefit from the Single Market. UK goods exports to the 11 fellow founding members of the Single Market have grown over the years 1993-2015 at just 1% pa. Over the same period, UK goods exports to the 111 countries with which it trades under World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules have grown at 2.88% pa, nearly three times faster. This helps to explain why UK exports to the EU has fallen from 60% to 44% of total exports since the Single Market was introduced. Services account for 80% of the UK economy but only 40% of the UK’s exports to the EU are services, amounting to just 5% of GDP. The result is a £28bn services surplus but a £95bn goods deficit with the EU, leaving an overall £67bn trade deficit in 2017. Even strong supporters of the EU, like the Financial Times’ Wolfgang Münchau, concede that the Single Market is ‘not visible in the macro statistics…. the data are telling us a different story – that the Single Market is a giant economic non-event, for both the EU and the UK’.

I have no argument with that. But until our country is run by a Mature Senate we have to pick the lies from the truth, and the truth from speculation. And unreservedly believe that person-kind is incorruptible.
Somehow I think . . . "Exactly, it is a sad state of affairs when the ‘winning ‘ side is the one that told the most believable lies. Time will tell on Brexit, but the fact it is 4 years since the referendum and 6 weeks until the deadline date with no EU trade deal on the table, is a worry . | |||

Somehow I think . . . "We're stuck with the Lord's for now. And the Tories. And as of 1st Jan we will no longer have the EU as a layer of protection against these things. While I also don't like the EU, the structure of the EU and many individual elements of it. There are also some positives. And I still haven't seen anything that makes me think leaving will in any way benefit the UK. Meanwhile we have taken a huge hit to the economy, and have have lost our freedom of movement within the EU. Plus all the smaller things like the internal "boarder" in Kent for goods vehicles, problems with infringement on the GFA etc. | |||

ANSWER - I refer to my earlier post on PPE, Jeremy hunt discounted flats . Javid city job. Planning permission queue jumping saving £40m. Race haven status. Expenses on all MPs. We are would leaders in corruption. We just hide it as little perks. I’m doing nothing illegal is the usual answer. Morally bankrupt. | |||

I have idea how. Brexit itself is widening the divide as we speak. The clever thing they did was to pit normal people against one another. Meanwhile lining their own pockets and doing whatever they need. "They" being the likes of the affore mentioned ERG, Garage's American sponsors, Johnson, etc. | |||

Or they'll just carry on with the "the Brexit cluster fuck is the remainers fault"." It will all be 'their fault', them over the channel.. It was apparent in the run up to the referendum on here that some expected the 'bloody foreigners' to simply tie the line and do as we wish, because after all we are the UK.. Despite all the evidence that they don't need us to the extent they will roll over etc and it's still the blame game.. | |||

"Scummins gone Vaccine close Trump gone BoZo on the ropes Just got to get back in the EU and normal service will have been resumed However Cummings was not even an MP and was due to leave at the end of December in any event. On a simplistic basis he left his job six weeks earlier than expected. Trump was good for the American economy, just look at the performance of numerous USA companies such as the Deere Corporation . The vaccine is good news assuming that there are no side effects. We can safely assume that the Conservative party will be in power for 4 more years. Even if Boris stepped down , there are plenty of candidates to take his place , all of whom are extremely capable.
Name 3
Doesn't matter. the tory party is now the brexit party, all the non believers in the Brexit cult have been purged. We're at the situation now where Jeremy Hunt is on the left of the parliamentary party. Your remaining choices are like picking between Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler and Hitler."Even the labour party have accepted the fact the uk is out of the eu | |||

"Are you saying jcb practice tax avoidance which is illegal or tax planning which is perfectly legal and is done by every person who pays any tax. If the dont publish their accounts how do you know "millions" have disappeared " No I have not said anything is illegal that they have done. Unless you can’t read my post? Over a certain threshold a limited company discloses accounts. It’s the higher ownership trail I’m referring to. Reuters revealed in excess of £500 million was transferred out of the manufacturing unit and then onwards to the service company again owned by the one man and then disappeared. The ultimate destination is not disclosed. Non domicile is tax planning as you say which means the English billionaires living in London don’t pay tax which is legal but wrong in anyone’s balanced view of a fair society. | |||

"HAve six more . . . https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-six-best-reasons-to-vote-leave These seem like criticisms of the EU rather than benefits to leaving. Another article already pasted in on a previous thread quantifies the Financial benefit of leaving as being up to £800 per family per annum This has been debunked at least five times per everytime you post it. Debunked ? No one is asking you to accept the article , however it gives a detailed explanation of the logic behind the figures and is written by some very distinguished academics . The Hobbit was written by a distinguished author, doesn't make it true.. All it actually is an opinion which you as usual have latched on to as you are unable to look at certain issues objectively.. . For now, I will compare my views/ opinions against those of the electorate and a number of FTSE 100 company directors. The views of Tim Martin and Lord Bamford are perfectly acceptable to me. These are people who have achieved considerable success in life and keep many people enployed. Tim Martin has achieved outstanding success in a business with cut throat competition where many have failed. Any one who has worked on a farm or in the construction business will appreciate the success of JCB. You do know Boris was on the JCB payroll before becoming PM don’t you! £40 k a year for 8 hours a month. David Davis got £60k for his few hours a month. What advice could Boris and Davis give to a global excavator manufacturer ? The answers is none but Boris could get Brexit and devalue the pound to make his diggers cheaper. No bias there then . Tim Martin doesn’t give a shit about his staff so stuff him. Dyson supported Brexit then moved to Singapore for tax reasons knowing the U.K. wasn’t the place to do business. Czech Republic’s got his factory in Europe. Hmmm U.K. first?. Are you seeing a pattern? Hi. Currency movements are simply a case of swings and roundabouts. Some people gain , some lose and this has always been the case. No doubt JCB could do with his many skills. You forgot to mention that any movement in currency would also make some of the components of JCBs more expensive. As JCB have a number of manufacturing plants abroad including one in India it may be that currency movements are not as important as some would like to think A lower pound benefits anyone bringing money into the UK and this would also include pension fund or dividend income. Anyone with shares in Amazon , Netflix , Microsoft or the Deere Corporation will not want to see the pound becoming stronger too soon . If to use your terminology Tim Martin did not give a shit about his employees people would refuse to work for him .As things stand he has succeeded where many have failed. Success should be admired , not criticised. Tim Martin is a success true but he was quick to lay off staff rather than let them benefit from the furlough which wouldn’t have cost him. That’s the reason I don’t like him but yes he’s made a fortune so by that measure a success. Most people in hospitality are younger so expect lower wages. Tim Martin knows that very well. You lose every time you travel. A single currency means you don’t. It’s that simple for the lower income groups. JCB manufacturers globally so can benefit form currency by deciding where to supply from at any given time. The UJK sites source at least 40% of parts from the U.K. so are less exposed than many companies. Selling whole vehicle exports cheaper through currency is always going to outweigh importing the sum of the parts. Did you also know JCB doesn’t publish accounts as it’s a private entity and can keeps it’s dealings private. The only two shares are owned by Bamford himself. However hundreds of millions of pounds are know to have been taken out of his companies with no end destination recorded. Wonder where that’s gone. JCB is a success to be very proud of but they are not stupid when it comes to avoiding tax and making money on currency. I'm calling bullshit, total absolutely bullshit. You really don't think hmrc doesn't know JCB exists "The HMRC know the owner of the Daily Mail exists too and lives in Wiltshire. He doesn’t pay any U.K. on his vast fortune due to his claim to be non domicile. Your turning my post into a tirade at a successful company it’s not. It’s the owners financial payments to politicians to support a political decision to benefit that company. I have no beef with JCB I have a beef that politicians are on the payroll while supposedly working in Parliament on behalf of their constituency and that tax rules are biased against the average earner but generous to very rich residents. | |||

"Are you saying jcb practice tax avoidance which is illegal or tax planning which is perfectly legal and is done by every person who pays any tax. If the dont publish their accounts how do you know "millions" have disappeared No I have not said anything is illegal that they have done. Unless you can’t read my post? Over a certain threshold a limited company discloses accounts. It’s the higher ownership trail I’m referring to. Reuters revealed in excess of £500 million was transferred out of the manufacturing unit and then onwards to the service company again owned by the one man and then disappeared. The ultimate destination is not disclosed. Non domicile is tax planning as you say which means the English billionaires living in London don’t pay tax which is legal but wrong in anyone’s balanced view of a fair society.

" Those pesky low income cleaners and bar workers again, not reaching the threshold. Yes it’s the higher income PAYE earners who are paying and guess which industry most of those jobs are in and where there’re going. I’ll give you a clue , banking or financial services and out of the U.K.. Brexit is a true giver! Once you get into the multi million earners who are usually in business the tax as a percentage starts to disappear and the elite rich well, you may as well not bother looking as you will find a little contribution for good order but the Caribbean account will be a lot fatter. | |||

Non doms could simply move abroad and pay no tax in the UK. " Indeed there is a risk they would no longer pay any tax in the U.K. Which brings you nicely on to the proposed EU legislation which would stop them living anywhere in Europe without paying the tax due. But of course the vested interests who backed Brexit wanted to avoid the new legislation on tax avoidance. Boris mate can you get us out of the EU? So all those Russians would have leave Europe or go back to Russia. Hmm those gulags aren’t quite Knightsbridge! . . As tax regimes in Europe are mostly aligned apart from the likes of Luxembourg and Dublin I suspect they will stay in the city of choice, London. Remember they can live tax free around the world in say Dubai or the Caribbean but Dubai is prone to changes of heart by rulers and the Caribbean has beaches and err well beaches. They would stay where they are comfortable if a little less wealthy. The plan isn’t to take all their money just some. | |||
