Labour to withdraw amendment for 2nd referendum, JC won't support it, therefore they haven't got enough support.

JC still on the fence, you can't please all the people all of the time, come down off of that fence and make a decision.

Stirling doing well, the closer we get to end of March seems the better for the U.K.

CC....
A margin of error, three percentage points, in the IMF's case this could probably be widened somewhat.
Here are some actual verified figures (Sept 2019), not projections, or in this case a stab in the dark.

EU unemployment rate worst performers
Greece 19%
Spain 14.9%
Italy 10.1%
France 9.3%
Croatia 8.2%
Every other country in the EU recorded figures above the UK except Germany, Poland Netherlands, Hungary, and Malta. And yes the UK is still in the EU but with project fear Mk2 in full swing and all these companies relocating, (funny you hardly see the incoming businesses reported) seems we are doing better than most.
Not very convincing, doesn't portray a region that is booming does it?

Youth unemployment 14.9% overall.
Greece 37.9%
Spain 34.3%
Italy 31.6%
This is the future, a lost generation for a lost cause and a failed attempt at federalisation.

If as you say you ''remember pre EEC days very well'' that puts you at least 70 years old today.
As the treaty of Rome (the EEC) was formed in1957 I would expect Europe to be doing better, back in those days we
were rebuilding it, whilst the UK was still on rations.

How is Europe going to react to the next downturn? There will be anarchy, rioting in the streets. Ooh, wait a minute that's what is happening already.

You can't keep defending something that isn't working, one-day Crowcast you will realise.

All those things you describe CC are prevalent in the EU right now, and things are getting worse.
Whereas the IMF (although not an organisation that I great faith in, just look at their past record) however they just announced the UK,s growth will outperform France and Germany. As you know these are the stars of your beloved EU.
Furthermore, the UK will continue to expand not only this year but into 2020 and beyond.
Now I'm sure you've heard about the EU's abysmal unemployment figures and how the UK's just keep improving.

Not to mention the two speed Europe that has been further confirmed yesterday with the signing of the Achan treaty. Yep, another attempt to revive the failing European Union.

Why do people cling onto the past? The EU has had its day, it stumbles on, people are frightened of change (that's usually the ones that have benefitted most from the status quo) its time to let it go.

Sorry for your loss Bruce.
Looking forward to your valid input here on life in the EU again, ATB to you.

I would have thought that by the nature of Wids posts BoomerB that it was pretty obvious that he is a roving ambassador to promote the great European experiment. :-)

''after the scrapping of human and civil rights law, workers rights, job security environmental controls our Brexit leaders plan.''

BTW, Galileo will be seriously compromised without UK involvement, just saying.

I see she is a trained psychologist, perhaps she could give some counselling to the long-suffering BEM investors.

Whichever way you spin it, the outcome of this election farce doesn't look good for BEM's licence application IMO.
Obviously, time will tell (as if we haven't had enough time already) but if you are all honest before the election the general consensus was 'get rid of the greenies' and we'll be on our way. That hasn't happened and I'm sure investors will be disappointed with this outcome especially as they only just scraped enough votes percentage wise to hold these positions.
Listening to ADF who knows more about the way Swedish politics work than most on here, it seems when this application is actually discussed by the government each department will have an input and a vote.
With Amanda Lind now the Minister of Culture and Head of the Ministry of Culture, and Isabella Lövin in charge of environmental things don't look great, do they?
Now I don't know if all the relevant departments have an equal input but you can be sure these two will be shouting the loudest.
Of course, there are some that say this will be decided/settled according to the law of the land, I'm afraid that when it comes to political matters the law invariably takes a back seat.

Saying this, just for clarification I remain invested, and in profit.
My strategy will be to sell probably half my remaining investment in BEM when it is announced about the forthcoming weeks business on the government website (where I hope there will a spike in the SP) the remaining half will be disposed of either with a sense of satisfaction or disappointment.

The sooner this happens the better and everybody can move on.

Who said that CC, oh yeah, Hilary Benn, say no more.
You are so gullible and quite obviously drawn to and consequently only listen to and take on board anything that agrees with your mandate.

Try to to broaden your thought processes CC, perhaps youve been in the 'Westminster bubble' too long.

Lasttrain, more like last gasp, even mick_b has given up.

What are you on CC, trade talks with the EU haven't started yet, get a grip.
As for the rest of the world, remember the protectionist EU said we can't sign any deal's until after we have left, (actually I believe they insisted that no negotiations were allowed).

Don't worry about it they will materialize when the time is right.

Merkel warns EU compromise is needed to avoid a harmful Brexit.

Looks like the EU are more worried than we are. Settle down all you pro Europeans, all this remain nonsense is proving to be futile.

Popcorn anyone! Lol.

13 minutes to spare Wids. :-)

"This is a common tactic, present figures, (in this case import/export) and make the assumption that, in this case, all trade will cease after Brexit"
This is often quoted to the gullible by the 'remoan' fearmongers Crowcast. It might not be anywhere in any sensible media as you say, but it originated in the remain camp.

''On the other hand, leavers very commonly claim to leave the EU will "let us trade" with the rest of the world under WTO .. as if we can not now. That is real nonsense as we are free to trade under WTO with better terms inside than outside already.''
Wrong again CC, favourable terms, (set by who, not the UK) you obviously don't believe the EU is a protectionist trading block, not to mention a corrupt one.

But of course, businesses are complaining, that's the ones with the loudest voice and incidentally the most money to lobby the government and influence decisions. Usually, they know they are on a winner as many in government retire to a cushy job in the city or some multinational, however, it's not so easy this time as the people have spoken, and those in government don't like it.
That's another reason we're in this mess MP's trying to appease their future masters and keep the electorate sweet.

Another remoan favourite is 'nobody voted to be poorer' I don't give a monkeys how much it's going to cost us because I know long after we're gone our grandchildren will be raising a glass and giving thanks to the foresight the UK showed 'back in the day' providing we can withdraw from the unholy mess that is slowly unfolding accross the channel.
Actually, it probably won't be before we've departed. You know deep down Crowcast that the current EU set up is doomed to failure, why on earth would anyone want to hang on to that mess? People in Europe are beginning to realise it, its just that we had a chance and took it first.
Where the UK leads others will follow.

Have a good weekend all.

European businesses’ greatest fear is the future of the European Union, according to analysis by UBS.

The Swiss bank said in a note to clients on Friday that its survey of 600 business leaders across Germany, France, Spain and Italy found their number one concern is “uncertainty about the future of the European Union.”

EU going well lads!
More popcorn DCBLT

This is a common tactic, present figures, (in this case import/export) and make the assumption that, in this case, all trade will cease after Brexit.
Trouble is peep's believe it, if anyone thinks that the UK will loose nearly 50% of our trade after we leave they are seriously deluded.
You know better snige.

Did they breathalyse him?

LONDON (Reuters) - Stuart Kissen, head of sugar trading at Swiss commodities trader Glencore (GLEN.L), has resigned, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Kissen joined Glencore's sugar division more than a decade ago, according to his LinkedIn profile.

A Glencore spokesman declined to comment.

As you were DCBLT, for your information.

A no-deal Brexit “cannot challenge the law” passed by Parliament, of leaving without a deal if a no deal was agreed.
It passed the withdrawal act, in the knowledge that if no deal was agreed we would leave without a deal. An indicative vote cannot challenge the law which was passed by Parliament.
As it still stands right now that is the law.

230.

Kinnock was anti EU, he soon change his mind after he was ousted.
From the moment he fell in the sea at Brighton his fate was sealed, downhill all the way.

JMO got banned before Christmas, he asked admin to ban him, and they did.
Just saying.
