Yes Picket I did. Getting close to it now.

The FT has reported that they've seen a document showing the EU is willing to impose up to $294 Billion in tariffs against the USA. That and Angela Merkels government being on shaky foundations will be the reason the futures are down quite a bit this morning.

The reasons there's complications is because remain supporting Treason May took 9 months to even trigger article 50, this gave Gina Miller time to force a Parliamentary vote on it even though the people had already voted. This got the unelected Lords trying to stop Brexit too. Now the EU thinks all they have to do is give us a bad deal and democracy is stopped. It doesn't't have to be complicated, just leave absolutely everything to do with the EU and go on to WTO terms. Then make deals with the rest of the world. But we have a remain supporting PM who's weak, indecisive and very disingenuous and who should never have been given the job by the Tory's. You wouldn't ask a a fox to look after the chickens. So why ask a remainer to look after Brexit.

This might hit the markets a bit tomorrow, well the DAX anyway.

razor wire*

I hope this is the end of Merkel, she is the worst thing to happen to the EU. Although I think the Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez is about to replace her as the worst EU leader. He's started taking in the boats full of Economic Migrants, and wants to remove the razor with from the border fence between the Spanish territories of Ceuta and Melilla and Morocco.

I think Christopher Hitchens was amazing... we really need more people like him in today's world. He had researched to the point where he could counter anything the leftists tried to throw at him.

His brother Peter is good too, he also thinks Europe is doomed, it's too late. Both were/are very smart guys. Yes I just read the article, out government is a joke. Inflatable tanks? No wonder Gavin Williamson has been threatening to oust Treason May.

host*... time for a coffee I think. My fingers have a mind of their own

They voted leave* but then turned out to be a remainer pretending to. They do it on LBC the radio station too, if the hose is smart they question them in such a way that exposes them as always having been a remainer lol

I look after a low functioning Autistic child. My wife's a high earner, there's no need for me to take something stressful on when we have more than enough coming in. When he goes to school full time, I'm considering it.

If I had a pound for every time I saw an obvious remainer pretending they voted leave, but they changed their mind I'd be rolling in it. So many people on Twitter etc saying they voted remain but now XYZ... I then go throught their posting history and all they've ever done is argue for remain haha :-)

Pete, I'd need to look into it in detail mate... not got the time. You should read all their company reports, every major RNS and come to your own decision. But I wouldn't put anything that you'd lose sleep over in it. Think of it as a pure gamble. Aim is always a pure gamble.

Qz,

Difference is, I put my money where my mouth is and voted to leave despite the scare mongering... whilst you clearly voted to remain. Champaign socialist indeed.

And for the record I think socialism is a horrible idea that doesn't work. Just look at Venezuela with it's 40,000% inflation. If Marxist/Socialist Corbyn and McDonnell get in they want to do the same things Venezuela did.

haha hope he spares a thought for you mate. But I don't think putting tariffs on foreign oil is in the US best interest. Last time I read, the US was now a net exporter... so that would harm US oil companies. As there's no trade deficit in oil it wouldn't be worth his while.

The way I see it (and it's only an opinion)... The US debt is astronomical, it's growing far faster than GDP and I don't just mean government debt. All debt combined it's about $70 Trillion. Sooner or later that is going to cause the mother of all downturns... it'll probably make the 1930's look like a prosperous time.

He could do nothing about that like the previous presidents did, or he could try to at least stop the trade deficit with other countries. He's got an ego, so he won't like the market going down either though, so if they take a significant hit, he'll probably say something on Twitter and up it goes again.

The market will only go on a sustained downtrend if the tariffs filter through to actual negative growth data in the various economic measures.

QZ,

Yeah none of us are real... pretend people voted out. The country is being invaded without a referendum, Brexit was the first fight back from the majority population who can see where this country is going. That's the "real world"... of which the rich haven't a clue because they're segregated from it in their areas with hardly any immigration. And the ones sitting on expensive property in London have been leaving rapidly to get away from the forced Cultural Marxism that the British people were never once consulted on. London is now officially only 45% White British.

I'd rather be poor than accept where the country is headed. And no I'm not talking about Skin colour. I couldn't care less if the entire population had black, white, yellow, brown of fecking tartain skin. Skin colour means absolutely nothing to me.

I care about British Culture being wiped out, and the influence a certain demographic will have over the way my Child lives in the future. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2099502/white-british-population-has-fallen-by-more-than-half-in-just-20-years-in-parts-of-uk-as-country-becomes-more-segregated/

How dare Trump try to lower American gas prices... He should be considering DayTrade in Cornwall's portfolio first haha.

Only kidding mate :-)

Also Branson... if it's that easy, just setup an Irish company and that gives access to the EU, then anything you've lost in the cost of doing that will probably be clawed back in the form of the aggressive lowering of Corporation tax the UK is likely to do.

And see if the UK makes a success of Brexit after the years of political bull sh*t and posturing is over... watch the rest of the countries sick of the EU start leaving one by one.

Branson,

If the UK leaves, I mean properly leaves... not Treason May leaving... actual Brexit... eventually someone like Trump will get voted in and make that Irish company uneconomical tax wise if it's in anyway linked to the UK. Just as he's doing by using tariffs to stop companies outsourcing now.

Most leave voters didn't vote due to economic reasons. Neither did I... in fact I'd happily take a nasty recession on the chin just to stick two fingers up to the EU Marxist project... I'm not poor either, I care about the state this country is going to be in for my child when I'm old and on my way out.... no control over our borders, little control over the laws we make... everything else is a secondary consideration for me, and I'm pretty sure Millions of other Leave voters.

But in reality how well we do in the world after Brexit is purely down to the leaders we have in power. We need someone to "Make Britain Great Again" :-)

Get a room ffs :-)

Right you! In the naughty corner now. And don't come out till you've said 10 Hail Mary's

Whether or not Trump will turn the screws tighter I mean*
