DCBLT, another one with limited understanding of what's happening. He still doesn't understand the law of the land. Just like all the other remainers lol.

Chuka Umunna's on, sick as a Blackpool donkey, love it.
He just stated that no deal is a distinct possibility.

Your thought processes and how you respond are somewhat baffling CC.
I despare.

Yvette Cooper's amendment to delay Brexit for up to 9 months (I thought the EU had a say on that) has just been voted down.
We're on our way we're leaving.

The treacherous Grieve amendment just got voted down.

"No country, not even Italy or Greece suggests they aims to leave..Others plan to join."

CC The current policy of the EU have left southern European countries in a desperate state (so bad in fact they have to put up with the likes of DCBLT). All joking aside its only the euro preventing these countries from leaving and its only the euro holding this experiment together, at this moment in time.
Effectively they've created a giant debtor's prison, but it will end and it won't be pretty.
As for the others who would like to join .....
Macedonia
Montenegro
Serbia
Turkey
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Kosovo
Albania

Wow CC take yer pick out of those.

They are all in denial in Brussels JR, but soon, maybe sooner than they think the realisation will take hold. Over half of our MP's can't see it either. I guess they've had an easy ride in what amounts to all the current sitting MP's these past 40 years, they haven't known anything else.
Anyone with half a brain can see that the current EU setup is unsustainable and the majority of citizens do not want more integration. Why would you want to hang on to something that is destined to failure.

The thing I liked about Europe was the difference between European countries, the more national identity is being eroded the more resistance the so called elite will encounter.

If he's been up all night LT is probably driving back to the UK for something medical.
If he's a Guardian reader he will have noticed that UK retirees in the EU will lose free healthcare under no deal Brexit.

More popcorn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Germany and Italy report negative last quarter growth, sssh don't mention France.
Conclusive proof that Europe is in the midst of an economic slump.

Full blown recession on the cards, not a good place to start when you're still trying to recover from the last one.
I thought it was the UK that was at risk, well that's what all these remoaning bods keep saying.

The single currency area's economy is still growing, but doing so at a glacial pace, how long can they keep their heads above water?
Not long methinks, especially with the forthcoming elections, that should shake em up.
Draghi's got it covered lol.
Time for some popcorn boys, what do you think DCBLT, CC?

The Czech Republic central bank is "intentionally" avoiding membership of the eurozone by ensuring it is yet to fulfil all the criteria necessary before Brussels could force them to adopt the euro. Seems this Euro lark is not as popular as it's cracked up to be.

BTW tricky that Agincourt book is over 500 pages, that's a bit much for a 'no nothing' Brexit supporter.

Be careful when mentioning 'local people' I'm sure most on here remember how that one phrase got the locals (well a certain section of em) backs up.

Lovely country France (in places) trouble is that it is full of french people.

Entente Cordiale my arse, they can't forget Agincort.

The ECB downgraded its outlook for the European economy by shifting the balance of risks towards the downside while trying to remain credible about how they felt the European economy would evolve over the next few months.
The lack of inflationary pressure and the weak economy continues to call into question the European Central Bank’s assessment of the eurozone economy. Last week the ECB left interest rates unchanged, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that they won’t be able to raise rates this year, as they would have liked to do.
This was confirmed after the central bank downgraded its economic outlook by stating that economic risks had shifted to the downside, and it was admitted that officials had discussed further possible stimulus measures in the form of TLTRO loans.

Now don't get me wrong but haven't we been here before?
This is how it started, a brief ECB history of the struggle since

2010 - SMP (Securities Markets Programme) Introduced to ease credit conditions, equal to 2.2% of the Eurozone GDP.

2011 - LTRO - (Long Term Refinancing Operation) At least two goes at this. First one 489b Euro then an extra 529b 3 months later.

2012 - OMT ( Outright Monetary Transactions) This was Draghi’s ‘’whatever it takes to save the Euro moment.

2014 - TLTRO (Targeted Long Term.. ) This time the ECB declined to say how much debt it will purchase. I guess they were running out of acronyms, lol.

Then we had another ‘Big Bazooka’ QE that went on for a bit, just winding up now, but it appears its now restating the 2014 programme TLTRO.
Like I said haven't we been here before.

The manufacturing sector has been struggling for several months now, and recent events have shown that there is little evidence of a pickup in the short term. The end of 2018 saw a number of major economies flirting with stagnation at best, with a number in contraction territory including Italy and France.

Yep, we been here before. The sooner we distance ourselves from this continual mess the better. No clue EU.
Poor old DCB is stuck in it, not sure where CC is, but he will get it one day, lol.

Ps; CC We've discussed this trade issue before, you're going around in circles just like the EU.

CC you just don't get it do you, this claim has not been debunked, we want our own trade deals we don't want anything through the EU.
In case you haven't heard we are leaving the EU, these trade deals are beneficial while we are a member but we are leaving.
Surely you can take that onboard.

.

"it's the will of the people.60% of the people voted for parties that wanted a permanent customs union in the 2017 election"

It was all about making our own trade deals which would not be possible if the UK was in the customs union.
Now we know Labour has said it wants 'a' customs union but nobody knows what the difference is between the present EU customs union and Labour's fantasy customs union.

Where did you get this information singe?

Myanmar?
Wids, there will be a few Rohingya that'll disagree with that BBC article.

Every Labour government, thats everyone including Blair's, has left power with the unemployment rate higher, much higher than when it got elected.
From 1997 until the collapse you could have put a monkey in No 10 and the UK would have boomed.
In case anyone gets carried away if you remember it was a time of unprecedented world wide boom ending with BUST. You know that cycle that Labour had thought they'd ended.

Another thing when talking about Blair take a minute to reflect on all the misery he left behind, and all the widows, orphans and parents of this country, and still to this day will not accept any blame whatsoever.
I was never fooled by him, but plenty were, and still are or so it seems.

Misguided or what!

"Tony blair made britain important"
Can't believe I've just read that.
As a matter of interest, what was his legacy?

This is a bit rich!!!!
Draghi explains the slow down in Europe.....

1) Protectionism - That's a bit rich coming from Europe, that's one thing they are good at.
2) Brexit - Oh we're being told it hasn't happened yet, but all those UK companies moving to the EU obviously hasn't helped them. Wonder what will happen if we leave without a deal?
3) China slowdown - Grasping at straws again, what over 6.5% growth, so China has been keeping Europe buoyant all these years. What does he want double digits?
4) German car industry slowdown - Wait till the UK leaves that won't help em.
5) Political developments across Europe - That's what you get with the EU setup, peeps ain't happy, you call it populism. I call it common sense when you are on the receiving end of mass uncontrolled immigration and a currency that's not fit for purpose in most of the Euro area.
6) US fiscal policy/projections - The Euro hasn't quite got as much sway as the dollar.

But he says EU banks are better prepared for a slowdown than the last time - Frightened to use the R word (recession) but note he said better prepared, well balance sheets are better, but ready no chance.
Apparently, he's hopeful that this slowdown won't last long. - That's his job to talk it up. Lol.

Europe going well DCBLT/CC this is your club, more popcorn!!!!!!!!

I have a sub 500 limit order in place (497) who knows they may get scooped up.
Too busy today to monitor anything.
