What is it with Remainers and their randomly demanded short termism? Is 2 years a good timeframe to invest in equities for example? Of course, we are happily enjoying some of those benefits today, which makes arguing for the benefits a lot easier, but I think it could take decades to get the real juicy ones. You know, like investments 68% think Leavers can't count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did see, was the Labour woman promising they would not be seeking to join the single market or customs union. But then saying they would be reopening negotiations to improve certain aspects. Well good luck with that. Unless they make some realistic threats on (for example) fishing, and be prepared to action them in reality, it'll get nowhere.

London mayor’s office ‘banned’ from flying EU flag on referendum anniversary Ministers have been accused of criminalising the flying of the European Union flag on government buildings in England after London’s City Hall was told it could be prosecuted for displaying it on the anniversary of the Brexit referendum. Without so-called advertising consent from Newham council, City Hall, which is the headquarters of the GLA and is where Sadiq Khan, the capital’s mayor, is based, would have been liable to criminal prosecution under the amended town and country planning (control of advertisements) regulations. “With over a million people calling London their home from other European countries it’s extraordinary that the government has effectively banned the European flag being flown without going through a long and bureaucratic planning process. Guardian Well show the flags of the European nations, not the flag of a supranational bureaucracy. Why not the NATO flag ? It's because it is obvious the EU flag is there to show rejoiner sympathies, not for any professed love of EU immigrants. In fact displaying the Ukraine flag is similar because it is to indicate solidarity with Ukraine in the war. Which is something we generally agree with and is government policy. But why are we showing solidarity with the EU ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Fury Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/06/29/german-inflation-jumps-unexpectedly-june-transport-prices/ Quote German inflation unexpectedly jumped in June as a rise in transport prices hit Europe’s biggest economy. Prices rose by 6.8pc in the year to June, up from 6.3pc for the previous month, in a move that will pile pressure on the European Central Bank to press ahead with interest rate increases. The rise compounds the country’s problems as it struggles to escape from recession. Quote Germany’s core inflation – which strips out volatile food and energy prices – climbed from 5.4pc to 5.8pc. It follows figures from earlier this week suggesting that Germany could remain in a recession for the rest of the year. They should have though more carefully before voting for Deutschexit. If only they had understood what they were voting for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a Swiss banker will be happy to accept anyone as a client if they have enough to open an account there, although didn't Switzerland recently drop their neutrality where ruzzian money is concerned? Might be tricky for a lot of people then, although maybe he'll have more luck with his German passport. Does anyone have any evidence the accounts were closed for a particular reason? I did a quick search and Young's accounts were reopened, but after he was told he shouldn't promote hate speech and was "spreading ‘Covid-19 misinformation’".

No. It has taken you eight years and you still think such a strawman is a point of debate. If this were 2015, I could believe that you think the argument for EU membership is that Europe is perfect. But it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
