Winstanley the brexit deal is positive take a look at the ftse**

Winstanley is sour grapes.., Falky it’s not the Brexit deal per se, it’s the end of some uncertainty that has bolstered the market slightly, omitting the financial sector completely, it would seem.
Brexit has made no difference as per se.

In your dreams.

More fool you, if you thought this was going to power into the 40s on the back of an isolating deal that didn’t hardly mention the financial sector, apparently! Good ole Boris, eh.

But I will reply, you’ve being predicting well into the 40’s for weeks, possibly months on the back of a Brexit deal ... it’s you Falky matey that needs to shut up.

‘So what's gone wrong as last few days we were all wondering where In the 40s this would open’
Freedomfighter, too many people listened to the likes of ‘Falky’ is anyone does that they need their head read. Negative interest rates are still a possibility, and Brexit was never going to be positive IMO, especially with the financial sector left out completely it seems.
Oh well, people will have to get over it ‘at least we have our country back’, eh!

£3.72 ... on profit taking, but it will rise sharply in the new year breaking into £5+ by end of Feb.
In the spirit of the Christmas season I'm happy to guess, although truth is I haven't a clue.

While we are reaching new heights (nothing to do with Brexit IMO), it's time to wish all you guys a happy and prosperous Christmas and new year to come. I've enjoyed reading your posts, take care, keep safe.

‘certain G Schapps’
.... and no reply, why does that not surprise me.

Because it’s easy to be wise after the event, and that why you’re not a leader of a political party.

For those wondering why France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland and Germany have banned travel from the UK independently, and not as the EU as a whole -- it's because EU member states are sovereign and make decisions independently of each other.

I’m not so sure Labour actually had a stance on leave or remain. I remember getting annoyed that Corbyn appeared to be non- committal. In hindsight of course we can see how difficult this was.
I'm sure the average brexiteer didn’t think of what they were promoting as a manifestation of civic four-nation nationalism. However, the breakup of the UK could be the result. For many, though, their rallying call was different - Ethnic Brit-nationalism - a toxic mixture of white grievance, middle class resentment and male insecurity, it is quite disturbing. These sort of people have a predisposition to overcompensate - ‘make Britain great again’ ... and all that. Most of the cheerleaders had never witnessed Britain as great and were working off a script of collective romanticised nostalgia of a time they never knew, with the messenger bringing that bile from over the pond. For those of us whose love of our countries is based on values rather than symbols, on behaviour rather than nostalgia and cooperation rather than isolation, this view cuts no ice.

On leadership qualities, considering the vote was close and Corbyn was trying to triangulate the contrasting views this can be considered a strength and not a weakness. Corbyn’s mistake was indeed not to take a definite position, that I agree. However before this he had quadrupled the membership of the party, so I would say his popularity was high. I’m not going to get drawn into the anti Semitic smear campaign thing as it would take up too much time and this is not the place.

good luck with that.
Yes people just want to go on holidays, but I think you underestimate the collective feeling of being coerced into accepting vouchers and the finding them almost impossible to redeem.
It will knock the confidence in the airline.
Hopefully, you’ll regain your losses.
Have a good Christmas.

“Its not the airlines fault stanley, its covid”.
Why yes of course- but pouring gasoline on the fire is not going to help, is it? In any case, turning around customer relations is difficult now they’ve shot themselves in the foot.
To compound the covid situation, Brexit deal or not won’t lift them far off the ground.

Carolyn McCall must be glad she got out too!
This Arline is now a shambles.

Mavic,
So was I, but got wise and got out.

I still hope they go down the drain, but if you see a glimmer of hope, good luck with that - you’ll need it.

bald_eagle,
I also have my doubts about how informed the public were if a no-deal happens. Most likely it will be severe, and the severity blamed on other occurrences. One can’t help being cynical, but the covid situation could be the most welcome scapegoat ever to have trotted up this government’s lawn, if a no-deal becomes a reality.
Remember that it was open to the government to extend the transition. We didn't have to face covid and Brexit simultaneously. Of all the terribly stupid and irresponsible things they've done, that deserves the number one spot.

"Brexit, it's all a bit silly really".
Now where shall I put it?

How about ‘on Nigel Farage’s forehead’

Absolutely, bald_eagle.

The herring is an oily fish rich in protein and vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to health. But, at the end of the day we like our cod and chips, (hake is much nicer IMO).
