The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
MPs against the motion are the only ones making strong structural arguments. The Remainers just whinge about temporary hardships or support for sheep farmers etc. . They are just existing arrangements of the EU and not necessarily good ones for the country in the long run. We now have a PM with a grasp on accountability and where freedom lies.
I think an extension can be granted unilaterally! so Boris might have to rethink his plans while the EU play out the hook till we tire on it.
The EU citizenry of the UK I believe will have to win an election and revoke article 50 or if Boris gets a majority then we are taken out with no deal. It is ridiculous that the backstop is used by EU and US Congress to shackle us - Boris is right about the Backstop which when you boil it down amounts to a victory for the gun toting policy of the IRA over the whole of the UK not just the North, and facilitated by EU single market. The threat of violence returning shapes policy. It proves to me the violent nature of EU and US foreign policy against our peaceful cooperation with free trade.
Don't know where this post went-see if I can reproduce it.
Proroguing parliament might be the only way to get a proper Brexit. I can see progress to an election before 31/10. I would hate to see a parliament that is permanently a minority government so a Tory/Brexit party victory would decide things for the country. A lose would also decide things. At present though the tactic of parliament to dumb down to EU poodle is not a strategy befitting the Mother of parliaments.
I do not want to see parliament vote again achieving brexit. There really is not that much difference between no deal and deal and at least with no deal we would be able to offer help ailing brexit victims needing to be kept going. A deal amounts to subservience to EU rules and therefore no aid to businesses. Businesses go bust and we are reliant on EU imports-we become like Greece.
The Isle of Man is small enough to be overlooked by the EU.
The PM's trip round UK makes me think independence would be good. If he was honest I think he would agree gdps of independent kingdoms would go up. N Ireland can make its own mind up on its direction. The EU is not a community based organisation but power/industry/commerce monopoly encouraging trade wars with other big blocks and tariff barriers with undeveloped countries.
If we cannot make our own agreements post Brexit then we still cannot be accountable: domestic politicians use the EU as an excuse to do nothing. We have become directionless and lacking in identity because seduced by the EU. The EU I believe do not take that much in annual contributions as a % of gdp but pay their President as though a head of state like the EU parliament is just a big set-up with small decisions to make that creates red tape.
An 'old' friend would be Brave Spartacus type horse. I had a wager on Nikki Steel and Nibras Again for a Sunday Double but Spartacus in the 3.45 at Market Rasen would have been a good choice. Any on the card like that today I wonder?
Had a thought: the conservatives are not fussed about EU elections because a big Brexit EU Parliament membership will lead to the EU ejecting us with no deal in October if Westminster is still in disarray. That would suit Mr Farage who put up a good fight on the Andrew Marr Show today.
Back to normal today-good job.
Unable to access sharechat too.
The EU have benefitted from our past involvement in Ireland in that the Irish have not become a close trading nation with us but opted to cosy up to Europe. I agree it makes sense for Northern Ireland to join the Republic while geography also suggests the whole of Ireland should align to the UK. If the ability to strike our own trade agreements is upheld in the Commons and the EU will not bend then we might be ejected with no deal by the EU. (see the Ambassador to the EU being interviewed on Newsnight yesterday). The UK will then have to do piecemeal emergency trade arrangements to overcome WTO rules?- manage the chaos- while businesses assess which way the wind is blowing.
You have your views off pat kenj. Re no deal I was rather lazily referring to a situation where a border with the Republic has to be in place for stuff not covered by a customs union. The Tory/Labour talks might be able to garner support for this and sideline DUP red line. The backstop sticking point needs unpicking with a bit deeper analysis on the tail wagging the dog effect.
