Sorry not a good paste. Not an expert unlike some.

A sleight of hand presented as facts. The kind of behaviour we have come to expect from beleavers.
Perhaps the 'fact' that 28 European countries have a faster rate of growth than UK in 2016 (http://www.tradingeconomics.com/forecast/gdp-annual-growth-rate) is just too much to bear (best not to mention that UK is 123rd in the world).

UK GDP Growth Beats Expectations!!


The UK economy advanced 0.5 percent on quarter in the three months to September of 2016, slowing from a 0.7 percent expansion in the previous period but better than market expectations of 0.3 percent, preliminary estimates showed. It is the first GDP figure covering a full quarter following the EU referendum, suggesting growth continues to be broadly unaffected with a strong performance in the services industries offsetting falls in other industrial groups.

The services industries increased by 0.8 percent, contributing 0.64 percentage points to growth, compared with an increase of 0.6 percent in Q2. All 4 of the main services aggregates (distribution, hotels and restaurants; transport, storage and communication; business services and finance; and government and other services) increased although growth in the transport, storage and communication industries was the main reason behind the increase in services growth between the 2 quarters. It increased by 2.2 percent (0.6 percent in Q2), the fastest expansion since Q4 2009, primarily driven by the motion picture, video and TV programme production, sound recording and music publishing activities, and computer programming industries.

Industrial production shrank 0.4 percent, contributing negatively to the expansion (-0.05 percent), following an increase of 2.1 percent in Q2. 3 of the main production aggregates decreased with: manufacturing falling 1.0 percent following an increase of 1.6 percent in Q2; energy supply decreasing by 3.6 percent following an increase of 4.6 percent in Q2 and water and waste management declining by 0.2 percent following an increase of 2.1 percent in Q2. In contrast, mining and quarrying increased by 5.2 percent, following an increase of 2.8 percent in Q2.

The construction sector contracted 1.4 percent with a downward contribution to quarterly GDP growth of 0.09 percentage points. This follows a decrease of 0.1 percent in Q2 and marks the biggest downward movement in the construction industry since Q3 2012; however, this is in the context of a pattern of growth to Quarter 1 2016 when construction surpassed its pre-downturn peak.

The agricultural sector also declined 0.7 percent, following a 1 percent contraction in Q2.

Year-on-year, the economy advanced 2.3 percent, higher than a 2.1 percent expansion in Q2 and better than market expectations of 2.1 percent. It is the fastest growth rate since Q2 2015.

Good news, Cameron and the Eurosceptic Tories got us in this mess, Boris and the lot will keep us in this mess and we will have to pay for this mess called Brexit.

..and the joke is, 52% are still voting for these jokers. A Tory party in fight ruins the UK and Leavers applaud and want more. Silly silly people.

I have heard 52% now believe again that the world is flat and want to burn the 48% who still insist the world is round.

Wake up Leavers, you have been taken for a very expensive ride.

"It is a woeful re-writing of history to claim the country expressed one single opinion, or even worse still, the additional re-writing of history, that they knew exactly what Brexit meant, given the Brexiteers, this sort of motley crew of Farage, Gove and Johnson, didn't bother to tell people what it meant. It's quite right now that people like Tony Blair say yes, of course we're now heading towards the exit door, but since we don't know what the destination is, the country should be given the opportunity to make a judgement in some shape or form on the final package."

Bad news. It is all going pear shaped. Brexit means ****.

“The four fundamental freedoms are not negotiable for us,” said Weber, who is leader of the largest centre-right bloc in the European parliament.

“We will not move a millimetre from this position. This is the reason why the British prime minister has now changed her stance and is backtracking. She will have to explain to the British people why she cannot keep her promises. There can only be a good agreement between the EU and the UK if Europe’s basic rules are accepted.”

Somebody starts to **** themselves. Reality is kicking in :goodluck:

The metaphor used to describe a possible interim deal in the German foreign office is that of a hammock, with one senior official quipping: “If it’s too comfortable, the Brits will fall asleep in it.”

The pair, who first met as Europe ministers more than 20 years ago, spoke for 30 minutes in English on Monday without going into any detail on Brexit. Barnier had a “courtesy coffee” with Davis, at the UK’s request, to re-establish contact, a European commission spokesperson said.

Good news. Brexit just wasted nearly a decade of Tory attempts to balance the budget, regardless whether you think this was a good idea or not.

Hammond Forecast in Line With Osborne’s ‘Brazen’ Brexit Warnings

The projected “black hole” in Britain’s finances as a result of the Brexit vote is roughly in line with projections made by George Osborne a week before the referendum and denounced as a “brazen smear” by campaigners to leave the European Union.
The then chancellor of the exchequer, sharing a stage with his Labour predecessor Alistair Darling, said on June 15 the public finances would take a 30 billion-pound ($37 billion) hit if Britain voted to leave. The Office for Budget Responsibility projects the U.K. will have to borrow 21.9 billion pounds in 2020, compared with the 10.4 billion-pound surplus predicted in March.

British fishermen will be able to catch hundreds of thousands of tonnes more fish after Brexit because it will be able to overhaul "unfair" fishing quotas, the fisheries minister has said.

George Eustice said that Brexit will provide a "good deal" for fishermen because current quotas give a "disproportionately large" share of catches to fishermen from the EU.

He said that after Brexit the UK will strike new "reciprocal" arrangements with the European Union which will give fishermen a greater share of catches in British waters and abroad.

I truly hope I am wrong, that means Brexit is not happening!

The Pound got a bit stronger when the High Court made the decision that Parliament has to be involved in the process. This means the chances have increased that Brexit will derail and fail or at least there will be a softer fall. Does it not make you think, that 48% and the rest of the world believe that Brexit can only hurt, hence the drop in the Pound and only when it might not work out the Pound gets stronger. Considering as well that the EU said there are 4 freedoms and not 2 or 3. Therefore Brexit with a higher Pound translates into, no limit of EU migration, payment into the EU and ECJ is still in charge... What was Brexit all about.:spin: A Tory Party bonding session!

It was reported last night on the BBC news that economists before the referendum had predicted a large impact impact on the UK economy, but so far these predictions have NOT come to pass. The latest figures show that the economy has in fact gone in the other direction and has in fact grown by 0.5% in the three months after the Brexit vote, which must be inlight of the title of this thread be good news.

PS. As is normally the case Peanuts reported predictions were wrong!

Carol55, what part of nothing has happened yet do you not understand!

This is a slow deteriorating process. Investments are reducing, i.e. a new machine or factory is not built. The Bank of England prints more money. The Government borrows more money. The Pound dropped and inflation goes up. Prices rise and suddenly there is only bad news. Unemployment rises, pay is lower and house prices drop. The UK economy is mainly supported by consumer spending and the service industry. If the consumer runs out of money it all goes pear shape. At the moment you see hamster buying. Get the new fridge, car and clothes, before we can not afford it anymore. Tell tell sign is consumers spending money on food and nights out. Let us continue to party as long as we can. “Real wages" will, remarkably, still be below their 2008 levels in 2021. I cannot stress enough how dreadful that is – more than a decade without real earnings growth. There has not been a period remotely like it in the last 70 years. Do you remember 0 hour contracts? It is happening now.

In addition, the OBR’s prediction of a £122bn deterioration in the public finances by 2020-21, of which just under half, £59bn, is directly attributable to Brexit, looks reasonable, even cautious. Public sector debt, on its forecasts, will top £1.9 trillion by the end of the decade, up from £500bn 10 years ago and £1 trillion in 2010. The Brexit effect is an addition to government debt we could have done without.

Yes, in 15 years the countries debt will balloon 4 times to £1.9 trillion. Scotland and Northern Ireland should leave the UK, as it would be cheaper for them in the long run.

... and you are trying to be clever stating Armageddon has not happened... silly silly

The Good News is relentless

More than a billion Pounds has been wiped off the UK’s deficit on trade in goods and services since the Brexit vote.
The official (Not Peanuts) figures show that the gap last month was £4.5billion, shrinking from £5.6billion before the referendum.
Even more good news is that latest UK trade figures has been driven to a jump in exports, up by more than than£800million to £43.8billion.

Now I'm off to cook Sunday dinner and given the 'Good News' I might (not that old misery guts Peanuts would approve of) have a glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape along with our roast beef. :wine:

Good news, Theresa May said Brexit will be 'complex' and 'hugely challenging

Carol55, interesting, the gap is shrinking from £5.6 billion to £4.5billion, so £1.1 billion. Exports only jumped by £800 million. We are missing £300 million.

Please explain to us why that is? Could it be import prices have gone up and/or export prices have gone down? What is the good news?

Good News for the UK's future generations.

In the future after Brexit, Britain will once again be able to control its own borders and it will no longer have to listen to interfering self opinionated EU poloticions and non British judges, nor will it need to obey the vast mountain of interfering directives from the depth of Brussels. Britain will once again be able to make its own laws, set its own level of taxes and negotiate its own trade deals, which is something that will be the envy of the remaining eu members.....the future for our families will soon once again be under our own control.

In short GB will once again be a key player on the world stage. GB will in fact be all the more powerful as it will have one thing very few European nations enjoy: the freedom to decide its own destiny.....something only a fool would dispute, but we should expect that fool to try!

Now it's time to enjoy another GB tradition....A Sunday Roast and just maybe a glass of Italian Barolo....along with fast cars, the Italians do produce exceedingly good wines.:wink:

Choices are

1. UK stays in the Custom Union of the EU. No own trade deals possible.
2. UK leaves Custom Union and we will be like lambs to the slaughter. 60 million against China and India with billions. No chance for a good deal. We will have to make so many concessions that it will not be worth it. What are we actually going to trade except for Scottish lobster, which seems to be doing very well within the EU regulations and masters.

Good news. Reality hits, Germans stubborn and Spain does not want to pay the medical bill.

Waiting for the pain

The Germans argue it makes more sense for the EU to keep the trade-off on British expatriates’ rights up its sleeve as a sweetener during the most painful phase of the negotiations, likely to occur in 2018. It was naïve for the British to expect the issue could be taken out of the overall context. By then, Britain could be gripped by a Brexit-induced slowdown, with foreign financial firms moving jobs from the City to the eurozone and inflation due to the pound’s slide eating into living standards.

They are convinced that Britain will only negotiate realistically once the weakness of its hand has sunk in with the Conservative leadership and pro-Brexit voters, many of whom maintain that Europe needs the U.K. as much as the U.K. needs the EU, and seem to believe that Britain can continue to enjoy the key benefits of the single market without the constraints.

Seen through that prism, cutting a quick deal on citizens’ rights might have perpetuated illusions in London that this is a negotiation among equals, rather than a lopsided situation in which Britain, having voted to leave the club, is dependent on the goodwill of all 27 former EU partners.

A prior deal on citizens might even have raised the temptation for London to walk away after two years without an exit agreement and renege on the bill for its residual liabilities to the Union, which the European Commission Brexit team has provisionally estimated at around €60 billion. Besides, committing to continue giving reciprocal free healthcare cover to more than 300,000 mostly elderly British citizens is a heavy burden for a convalescent economy like Spain’s.

What is Brexit all about. Definitely no 350 million for the NHS then....

2. Baroness Neville-Rolfe, a business minister said, Britain has decided to press ahead with plans to join an EU-wide patent system. This is a major overhaul, requiring UK courts to give up jurisdiction over patents, pooling sovereignty with the rest of Europe. One of the central divisions of the proposed Unified Patent Court will be in London, with the other two in Munich and Paris — all overseen by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. There will be British lawyers among the judges. All will proceed, it seems, as if Britain had never voted to leave the EU.

No taking back control then. ECJ continues to rules.

Stirling yesterday rallied across the board following comments from Brexit Secretary Davis. When asked whether the government would consider contributions to the EU, Davis said that the “major criterion” was getting the “best possible access for goods and services” in the single market.

GBP/EUR rallied over 1.3% to above 1.1940, a twelve-week high. GBP/USD also rose over 1.3% towards 1.2700, its highest levels since 6 October, prior to the flash crash. The pound later reversed some of those gains. Sterling strengthened over 1.0% against the Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian dollars.

Some good news on the pound.


Stirling yesterday rallied across the board following comments from Brexit Secretary Davis. When asked whether the government would consider contributions to the EU, Davis said that the “major criterion” was getting the “best possible access for goods and services” in the single market.

GBP/EUR rallied over 1.3% to above 1.1940, a twelve-week high. GBP/USD also rose over 1.3% towards 1.2700, its highest levels since 6 October, prior to the flash crash. The pound later reversed some of those gains. Sterling strengthened over 1.0% against the Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian dollars.

Is that Eric or Carol. Hiding behind other accounts?

Wait and see how the Pound rises when Brexit is stopped altogether. What a waste of time and money this is...

Maybe that's something that you do and hide behind a woman's skirt.

It has been noted that when a discussion goes against you that you try to divert from the truth and make attacks on people, but generally and once again you hide behind someone and on this occasion it's a silly unwarranted remark made by WillakaWill, you should attempt to try posting off your own back Peanuts using your own limited intelligence as you are appearing to be a spineless, brainless individual.

"..............


Tut Tut Peanut, how misleading you are becoming, what was reported by a unnamed source is ......

"Citations Group are considering moving some of its London based equity and interest-rate derivatives traders to Frankfurt after Brexit is triggered, according to people with knowledge of the matter."

Also what has been reported to the Independent, is from a source who does not want to be named. Peanut, you really should stop quoting unnamed sources....remember your credibility is at a all time low! You should follow your own advice and Stop being so selective in what you read.

I seem to remember that a few months ago that you along with many others (including myself!) forecast that the pound would drop within weeks to a rate of £1 to €1 and now the trend has more recently gone in the other direction, can you give us any indication as to why this would happen, surly it's shows a indication that now the worlds markets are begining to see GB out of the eu as a more positive move.

No it is very straight forward. A hard Brexit or WTO rules and we will have parity of the Pound to EURO. No Brexit and the Pound goes back up. This is how the world sees us. **** up your own country and you suffer, common sense and all will be well.

and still... Brexit has not started yet...

The Tories say the Richmond Park by-election doesn’t change anything on Europe. But the passion of voters in the south London constituency and the first signs of an emerging anti-Brexit cross-party alliance point to how Theresa May could be defeated nationally. In times to come, Sarah Olney’s victory may be seen as the moment the fightback began.

The best chance of stopping Brexit is not in the next few months but in two years’ time, when May returns from her European negotiations with either a bad deal or no deal at all. That’s when more MPs may have the courage to say we must stop the madness and give the people a chance – via a new referendum – to say whether they still want to quit the EU.

essexeddie, you, like many Brexiteers have no clue what Brexit actually means. What are you coming out of?

One of Cameron’s major mistakes was to promise his party and the electorate an ambitious renegotiation of EU membership terms that he could never deliver.

Similarly, May and her Brexiteer team must know by now that the idea that Britain will give the EU-27 nothing yet still gets unfettered access to the single market is pretty fanciful.

Leaves what? Think about it, you have even less clue than the Tory party and they had 5 months to come up with something. As the Spanish say NADA...:doh:

What is going on in the UK? Please enlighten me. From where I am and I seem to have a good seat with an excellent view nothing good. There are more immigrants from outside the EU than from the EU. What is done about them? It is easy to blame the EU for 40 years about what is wrong with the UK. Bit of an old hat won´t you think. The Tory bonding session failed and us peasants have to pay for it as usual. Have you ever heard about change within. Maybe you should question what our politicians tell us. The lies and incompetence. Only good thing about Brexit will be one excuse less and hopefully the public will then see the controlling elite for what they are.

I give you just one example where this is heading, but you will find a reason to ignore it too:

Last week, Theresa May said ‘there was more to do and we will do it’ when it comes to tackling this invisible killer that takes 50,000 British lives prematurely every year.

The problem is, her statement came in the wake of yet another humiliating legal defeat for the British government - the second in 18 months - when the high court once again ruled that the government’s plans to tackle illegal levels of air pollution were so inept, so scant, that they were in fact unlawful.

At home, the government has been dragged through the courts for failing to set out how it will meet its air quality targets, abroad, it has actively led a coalition of EU governments in trying to water down a range of measures that will halve the number of early deaths caused by toxic air pollution by 2030.

One good thing, in future when you visit the EU you can get some fresh air.

Queen, not elected, Lords, not elected, Prime Minister not elected and you complain about the EU. :stupid:

You are very quick with insults.Tell us your grand plan or shut up!

Silly man....do not ask essexeddie his opinion, he has not got one. :doh:

Today at the Supreme Court. Government lost it big style...

In one exchange, Lord Mance asked Eadie to explain what parliament’s role would be in the Great Repeal Bill, legislation that once passed will transpose EU law that currently affects UK law into domestic law. May first announced plans for the legislation at the Conservative party conference in October.

Mance asked this question because one of the key assumptions at the heart of the government’s legal argument is that MPs will get to have a big say on how Britain leaves the EU once Article 50 has been invoked.

The justice said: "Do you have any evidence that parliament will play a role once Article 50 has been triggered?... What actually is parliament’s role [in the Great Repeal Bill] other than what was said at Conservative Party Conference?"

Eadie could only respond with "pass."

Theresa May to publish fag packet on back of which Brexit plan is scribbled

In what is being seen as a significant climb-down by the Government, Theresa May will make available the fag packet on which she scrawled the plans for Brexit after her 6th pint in a local pub.

Although not officially released yet to Government, copies of the fag packet have been made available to the press.

The fag packet reads

1 – Leave EU
2 – Sort all the **** out

Which seems to indicate a clarity of purpose, if a lack of detail, on the part of the Government.

There is also an interesting insight into the mindset of the prime minister as she formulated the plan while writing the acronym FML clearly in one corner of the fag packet and a small, crudely drawn picture of male genitalia in another.

Liberal Democrats have claimed the release of the fag packet is a victory for Remainers with Tim Farron saying “This is terrific news for everyone who voted to – No wait. Come back. We’re still relevant, we are. We got a new MP and everything!”

Labour seemed a little more guarded in their response, saying only – “Europe? That sounds like something we’re supposed to care about.”

Mrs May is understood to have been reluctant to release the fag packet as it still had a couple of silk cut in, but was talked round after an aide promised to look after them.

Good news. EU will give us one last chance.

Yesterday Michel Barnier, the European Commission’s chief negotiator, said the Brexit talks need to finish by October 2018 so that the European Parliament can ratify deal. This means that we, too, will get time to examine the deal and reject it if we don’t like the look of it.

If Barnier – and before him Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s chief negotiator – hadn’t said this, there would have been a risk that Theresa May could have bounced the UK into backing whatever deal she managed to negotiate. Say she triggered Article 50 as planned next March and had then come back with a miserable divorce arrangement in February 2019. We’d have been so close to the two-year deadline that MPs would have had little option but to grin and bear it.

But Mayhem won’t now be able to play such a trick. Even if she doesn’t formally put the Brexit deal to our parliament until after it has been ratified by the European Parliament, she won’t be able to stop MPs and peers debating the text in October 2018. If they don’t like it, they will then have time to ask the British people what they think in a new referendum. And if the voters don’t then want to quit, we’ll probably be able to cancel Brexit.

This means, we will get a really bad deal in the first place. They already said any transition deal has to be bad, to kick us out of the hammock in case we stay in it too long.

This is what you call bespoke trade deals, we are open for business.

Brexit trade minister and North Somerset MP Liam Fox has admitted Britain will have to effectively have the same trade agreements with other countries around the world – even after leaving the European Union.

Dr Fox announced he has opened discussions with 164 other countries in the World Trade Organisation, but because Britain has just two years before it leaves the EU, he will have to 'replicate as far as possible' the current agreements and 'obligations' to the World Trade Organisation.

And that - given the Brexit campaign was won largely on the basis of the promise of bespoke trade deals between Britain and other major countries outside the EU, like Brazil, China and the US – has caused criticism from Brexit campaigners.

Reality hurts, but then you Leavers will chase any bone, even if it chokes you.

Good news, 20 years of misery before the benefits of new Trade deals kick in. Well done Brexiteers. Hope your grand children hold you responsible. :stupid:

Yesterday 89 MPs voted against Brexit. I am proud of the UK to have MPs who put their country first.

At the next election the Tories will get their marching orders for what they have done to us 48% and definitely more by then. Scotland and Northern Ireland are forced into a decision they did not want and all this because of a Tory bonding session gone wrong, to keep backbenches quite.

The EU will decide on the future of the UK, not us!
Firstly, by the deal we are getting and secondly, how they deal with us under WTO terms. Remember, they are in charge at the WTO not us.
They have given us their choice already, best deal is remain and the single market without 4 freedoms is not possible. Leaves us with EU WTO terms, which we already decided to copy. In addition, law is a copy and paste job too. So much to the bright future :crylaughing:

What will be better after Brexit? No Brexiteer can give me an answer, as they are all clueless and it shows with many people on this forum, you only get insults.

Mayhem and the Brexiteers have a huge problem, in politics you make a deal before you inform the people. Allowing you to look like the winner, you only tell people what you have already agreed on and you know you will achieve. In this case the EU is not prepared to do so before notification of Article 50.

Mayhem has now been forced to inform us before triggering Article 50 and what she is trying to achieve during negotiations. For her this is like a stab in the dark, she has no plan, hence the no running comment etc. ... and it will be her downfall. She has no clue what deal the EU will give here. Trust me they know already.

...and the deal will be so bad that it will be rejected and we will Remain. Two wasted years, madness, and what a shame... :thanx:

I have achieved what I wanted and will stop posting for a while. Will be back when there is some important issues or end of 2018 when the 2 referendum happens.

**** news today!

The fall in central London house prices is accelerating...

Values were down year on year in five boroughs and the City of London in October, compared with just three local authority areas in September and only one in August, according to latest data from the Land Registry.

The biggest fall was in the City, where prices are now 8.8 per cent lower than last year, followed by Kensington and Chelsea, which has seen a 4.9 per cent annual drop.

Other boroughs with falling values are Westminster, Camden, Hammersmith and Fulham and Richmond. Areas where prices look likely to turn negative in coming months include Islington, where they are up just 0.3 per cent year on year, and Wandsworth, where they are 2.8 per cent above 2015 levels.

Important bad news. For those who are or plan their retirement in Spain.

Britons retiring to Spain are attracted not only by a warm climate and Mediterranean lifestyle but also by free access to a well-regarded health system, with London ultimately picking up the bill by refunding Madrid for their health costs.

It is unclear if that EU-mandated arrangement will continue as the issue is likely to become tangled in divorce negotiations set to begin by March. Pensioners meanwhile worry they may have to return to Britain's stretched health system, another example of unintended Brexit consequences rippling across Europe.

A return of ailing pensioners to Britain would threaten to further strain its National Health Service (NHS) where patients can wait for hours in hospital corridors before they are treated - not an outcome envisaged by Brexit campaigners.

50 Billion :twak:

46-year-old Brexit voter Simon Williams remains utterly convinced he could negotiate a better Brexit deal than the current government after learning of a potential £50bn ‘divorce’ settlement for outstanding liabilities.

The potential £50bn bill is to settle ongoing liabilities that the British government has agreed to contribute to while it was inside the EU, though Williams says they should tell the EU to ‘shove it’.

He explained, “This is just like that time when Pizza Hut put that tip on my bill – I wasn’t having any of that. I told them to shove it, and so that’s what they did. End of story.

“They’re just trying to pull a fast one by slipping £50bn at the end of the bill in the hope we’ll just pay it.

“But they can’t make you pay it, I looked it up; it’s the law. Not the law according to ‘experts’, the law according to my mate Dave in the pub.”

Williams went on to explain that Brexit is a lot like when he got divorced.

“Yeah, I just refused to contribute to the mortgage I’d happily signed up to a few years before and we lost the house. I now live in a rented bedsit and the missus had to move back in with her parents. Win-win.

“So if they want any tips, give me a ring on the mobile.”

Garbage. Garbarge. Garbage ������������������������

Very informative, you are right about Brexit, leaving the EU, it is Garbage. MAD,MAD, :doh:

The Mirror says the country will be handed a £50bn bill to leave the EU. The money is made up of the “UK’s final two years of EU budget payments plus pensions liabilities and other commitments we have previously agreed to”. This bill has been “confirmed” by EU negotiators. The Mirror adds that EU Ambassador… anyone? Anyone? Yes, it’s Sir Ivan Rogers. Well, he says leaving the EU could take ten years.

That May has been in Brussels with the other EU country leaders has not escaped the Mirror’s eye. It says May lacks authority and presence in meetings. Her “inexperience” is a “major handicap for Britain”. Her rivals see “victim” stamped on her forehead. She was awkward when filmed standing alone as “Europe’s power players hug and greet one another at the Brussels’ summit”. It was “excruciating”. May was “desolate”. The other leader then told her to go while they all went to dinner together.

Good news for Leavers. ABC of what is going wrong.

The gap between the continent and England has never been wider. While every morning our press, most especially the two Andrews – Marr and Neil – and the Today programme, work themselves into a lather over Brexit, the rest of Europe shrugs its shoulder and says, “S’il vous plait, just get on with it.”

As Theresa May saw for herself in Brussels last week, the EU 27 are now in Zen mode. The hopes of some in London that different EU capitals could be divided one from the other have proved fruitless. The talk of “punishing Britain” is empty waffle. Talks with chief negotiators from the European Commission and Council and ministers in EU capitals produce a common line. They see Brexit as lose-lose but they respect the decision.

There is no aggression, no desire for a row, but equally no sense that the rest of Europe has to follow Britain down the road of hostility to other European citizens or to tear up the common rule book.

Spain has 1.1 million Romanians living there, not to mention the 800,000 British, France has 650,000 Portuguese and Germany 2 million Poles. But the kind of anti-Polish hate language or Nigel Farage saying he would not want a Romanian family to move in nextdoor is virtually unknown in Europe.

Germany has eight frontiers with EU countries, plus one with Switzerland, and 380,000 European workers cross German frontiers every day to add value to the German economy. The idea of a return of entry and work visas, or controlling every lorry or van or car crossing a frontier to trade goods or do business, seems to any German politician to be just slightly potty.

If the Britons want to pull out of the customs union and revert to having to fill in hundreds of millions of custom forms for any good or service sold to the world’s biggest market, which will include hiring thousands of new customs officers on the public payroll, that is Britain’s problem but not one for sensible continental European businesses to get involved in.

Ministers’ jaws drop in EU capitals when they hear of appeals from Theresa May or David Davis for a quickie agreement on the status of British ex-pats on the continent or EU citizens here. May can easily – and should – make a Government announcement on the status of EU citizens in the UK once we are out of the EU, but the right of all EU citizens to live and work everywhere is part of EU Treaty law. The idea of opening up negotiations to write a new treaty law in a few weeks just because of Brexit xenophobia makes no sense anywhere in Europe.

No EU capital likes the European Court of Justice, which is more of a giant commercial court and administrative tribunal despite its grandiose title. The UK has won more cases than it has lost at the ECJ. But a rulebook needs an arbiter, and so the rest of Europe remains puzzled at the fact that Britain, the nation that invented “playing by the rules” and accepting the umpire’s decision, now can no longer bear to do so.

The non-Europhobe press here report announcements by the Japanese and other banks that they will relocate key parts of their activities to have full single market access which ends the day the UK starts to discriminate against EU citizens in terms of travel, work and residence rights. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe knows at best it will get a small segment of City business but overall it is New York that will benefit as global finance leaves London and hence Europe.

Europe is puzzled by personal attacks on Michel Barnier by Andrew Tyrie, the normally level-headed chair of the Commons Finance Select Committee, or the insistence of Labour bigwigs on echoing the Ukip call for “managed migration”. Why, they wonder, doesn’t our Government instead work out how to reorganise the UK’s labour market to support jobs, training and fair pay for British workers, which would reduce low-pay employers’ preferences for foreign workers?

For European governments, Article 50 negotiations are narrow and technical. Once the UK is out of political Europe in the spring of 2019, then the talks on trade, customs union rules, and the dozens of agencies and funding from Europol to Erasmus to Horizon scientific programmes can begin. They will last years.

The EU celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome in 2017. It will be 2027 before England’s relationship with the rest of Europe is settled. If then.

Good news EU has now decided our Brexit plan.

We do not need to listen to the clueless Tories "Brexit means Brexit" and "No running commentary" anymore.

On the same day that it has been reported that Ivan Rogers, our man in Brussels, told Theresa May that it will take a decade to negotiate the final terms of exit, the EU27 have given us the first signs of what they see as the path to that deal: withdrawal, transition and exit.

"Withdrawal" will cover the process of leaving and the final bill for programmes already agreed and partially paid for during the terms of Britain's membership. Or, as much of the British press is calling the "divorce bill". It's a better analogy to see it as leaving a dinner with friends midway through but leaving some money for your starter and drinks.

But that the Telegraph's splash is "EU hands Britain £50bn Brexit bill" attests to the PM's domestic problem. It is next-to-impossible that a Brexit deal won't involve Britain paying not just for the food already eaten, but continuing to stump up for some of the rest of the gang to keep eating, but many of May's biggest cheerleaders in the press and her parliamentary party are opposed to it.

Then there's transition. That's the deal favoured by Philip Hammond and much of business. Here, domestic politics and the domestic demands of the EU27 are, for May, happily joined. No-one in the European Union wants a transition that lasts forever, and that the deal will have a number of "sunset clauses" according to the plan approved last night, will make it an easier sell to those Brexiteers who fear that the transition will take forever.

It will be EU WTO terms, good luck Leavers.

Very Good News & On Topic

From today's news.aluminium smelter has 'bright' future, new owners say.

The new owners of a unique aluminium smelter in the Highlands have announced plans to almost triple the workforce after securing its future.

The plant at Fort William in Lochaber - the last of its kind in the UK - was bought from Rio Tinto for £330m by a consortium comprising Liberty House.

The business also includes hydro-power plants at Fort William and Kinlochleven which will be run by SIMEC and provide power to the manufacturing facility.

The purchase safeguards 170 existing jobs and it is hoped that 600 more will be created through smelter production and engineering expansion.

Liberty, which will run the smelter facility, is best known in the UK for its growing steel interests having snapped up several facilities including the Dalzell plant in Motherwell from Tata.

Its chairman, Sanjeev Gupta, said: "We hope this day will come to be recognised as the start of a bright new future for Highland industry.

"It puts Lochaber right at the heart of our vision for sustainable and integrated local production that can revitalise British manufacturing."

The Scottish Government is supporting the investment by guaranteeing the smelter's power purchases from the hydro station at Fort William.

The data shows the UK is the most popular destination in the European Union for overseas firms.
Commenting on the figures, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said: "These impressive results show the UK continues to be the place to do business.
"We've broadened our reach with emerging markets across the world to cement our position as the number one destination in Europe for investment."
The report suggested that 116,000 jobs were created or safeguarded by overseas investment last year.
The US remains the biggest source of inward investment, accounting for 570 projects, followed by China with 156 and India with 140.

Good new May will only last until May.

After an initial phase of post-referendum arrogance and euphoria, it has become increasingly obvious that May’s government completely misread the likely EU response to a British exit from the bloc. It now seems likely that the UK will continue to stagger from failure to failure at an accelerating pace.

May’s dilemma stems from the fact that the “Leave” coalition, while sharing certain conservative values, comprises two incompatible factions: mostly middle-class, affluent pensioners who want to leave the EU because they think it is too bureaucratic and protectionist; and mostly working-class voters who want to leave because they favor more protectionism.

Clearly, there is no form of Brexit – or post-Brexit Britain – that will satisfy both groups. This explains May’s desperation to push Brexit through as quickly as possible. She wants to get out before voters realize that the Leave campaign sold them a false bill of goods, including the promise that they could keep all of the benefits of EU membership, particularly full access to the European single market, without having to allow free movement of labor.

Moreover, although May was in the “Remain” camp during the referendum campaign, she realizes that, as Prime Minister, she will be held responsible for any failures in the Brexit negotiations. She also knows that she cannot possibly succeed politically, because the media will always spotlight “defeats,” while hardly noticing “wins.” That gives her every reason not to define her goals, and then to declare whatever deal she secures a “victory.”

Paradoxically, while the Conservative Party leadership has decided to represent the incoherent Leave coalition, no one is speaking for the 48% of voters who sided with Remain, except for the Liberal-Democratic Party, which has minimal influence in Parliament. This is even more surprising when one considers two deep structural factors that will cut short Leave’s continued political dominance in the medium term.

For starters, a significant cohort of Leave voters tends to be “politically disengaged.” Leave won by a margin of 1.2 million votes, one million of which were cast by people who did not vote in the 2015 general election that furnished David Cameron and the Conservatives with undivided power. These disengaged voters will likely not participate in future elections, though they might mobilize for a second EU referendum, if one were to be held.

Second, the Leave camp has an age problem: my own rough estimate suggests that, every year, Leave-voter deaths will exceed those of Remain voters by 150,000, while new Remain voters entering the electorate will surpass those of Leave by 150,000 (after adjusting for differential turnout between young and old). This generational dynamic alone will tip the balance in Remain’s favor by about 300,000 voters each year, and it will eliminate Leave’s majority by 2020.

Shortly after the referendum, I asked a former senior Tory official why no respectable politicians wanted to represent Remain voters. “No one in Britain (either Remain or Leave) really cares about the EU,” he replied. But while that may have been true in July, it is not true now, as indicated by both sides’ passionate response to the result itself, and then again to the recent Supreme Court decision affirming Parliament’s role in triggering Article 50. Equally telling were the last two parliamentary by-election results: pro-Remain liberals overturned a 23,000-vote Conservative majority in Richmond Park, London, while the UK Independence Party – which favors a “hard” Brexit – made gains in Sleaford and North Hykeham, in the east of England.

As Lord Ashcroft’s fascinating exit poll following the Brexit referendum shows, Leave and Remain voters’ attitudes differ on almost everything, from the death penalty to environmental conservation. And anyone reading the two sides’ increasingly heated online interactions can see that they heartily despise each other.

There is now a profound divide – what British politicians call “deep blue water” – between Remain’s growing constituency and Leave’s diminishing one. This will be the defining split in British politics for at least a generation. And yet the vast majority of practicing politicians are on the declining side of this divide, where the supply of leaders far exceeds demand for them.

The UK is approaching a fundamental political realignment, for which the current government is totally unprepared. It will come – probably quite suddenly – as soon as enough people recognize that May has, through little fault of her own, inevitably failed to “get the best deal for Britain.” As the economist Herbert Stein famously observed, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” So May’s government might last until May, but not much longer.

Good news. Mayhem answered all her own questions, but not the ones asked. :stupid:

‘So… was that a yes or a no?’ A number of MPs on the Liaison Committee asked the Prime Minister that question during her evidence question today. They weren’t doing it to make a point: Theresa May spent most of the hour and a half stubbornly answering a set of questions that she had clearly decided in advance with lines also decided in advance, regardless of whether those questions were very close at all to the ones being asked in the Committee room.

She was most opaque on the question of whether Parliament will get a vote on Brexit, circling around the issue by listing the opportunities for MPs to discuss Brexit. None of these involved a vote, but as the Prime Minister mentioned the debates, statements and votes on the Great Repeal Bill that were being provided, she did so with a tone of frustration as though she couldn’t quite believe that Parliament was annoyed it wasn’t being given a vote when she was giving it lots of other things instead. The smart bet, of course, would be that Parliament won’t get a vote – why else would the Prime Minister dodge the question three times?

It wasn’t just on the vote that the Prime Minister tried to be as oblique as possible. During a rather terse exchange with Yvette Cooper over the net migration target, May managed both to say that she remained committed to the target and also to avoid giving a figure for how low she wanted to drive migration. It was almost as if she was trying to avoid providing any quote herself which could be used against her if she too failed to meet the ‘tens of thousands’ that David Cameron’s government had promised – and missed – while also trying to avoid a story about her explicitly dropping the target, to which she was very personally committed when Home Secretary.

We were promised that we would get more details on the Prime Minister’s vision for Brexit in the New Year. But based on today’s performance, the speech that May says she will give early in the new political term will only answer the questions she has asked herself, not the ones the heads of select committees were trying to ask today.

BREXIT is now a religious cult based on wishful thinking and strange predictions, Theresa May has confirmed.

The prime minister has outlined her plans for fully-fledged cult promising incredible rewards for believers at an unspecified point in the future.

She said: “We will form small, inward-looking communities where anyone who criticises Brexit will be subjected to weeks of brainwashing or human sacrifice.

“I am the one true prophet of Brexit, which means everything I say is a fact, such as ‘Liam Fox is good at whatever it is he is supposed to be doing’.

“I call it ‘going the full David Koresh’.”

Leave voter Roy Hobbs said: “Unbelievers will regret it when they’re being tortured forever in Remoaner Hell, which I’m really looking forward to.”

He added: “I know everything will be wonderful because Theresa saw it in a dream and told me all about it. There’s no Bulgarians and I’m getting a luxury caravan.” NewsThump

THE cherished British right for government spies to have full access to our emails has been snatched away by the despotic European Court.

A ruling on a case brought by heroic Brexiter and despicable traitor David Davis MP has banned patriots from joyfully and involuntarily sharing their texts and emails with UK surveillance.

Tom Booker of Doncaster said: “You see? You see what they’ve done now?

“A sovereign right that the British people have always held dear, one that was in the Magna Carta itself, taken from us by unelected Brussels tyrants.

“The British government – and by extension, the Queen – has always read all my emails. They read my father’s emails, his father’s emails and my great-grandfather’s letters were steamed open by spies because he believed in this country.

“But no more, because the EU thinks I’ve got something to hide.”

A government spokesman said: “Britons can rest assured that the security services will continue to read all their emails, share their nude pictures and laugh at their pathetic sexting, even if they break the law doing so.

“Because that’s what serving your country means.”

Richard Drax, MP for South Dorset, yesterday asked Prime Minister, Theresa May to confirm the meaning of, "Brexit means Brexit".

Speaking after the Prime Minister's statement on her recent visit to the EU Council in Brussels, at which EU member countries discussed the migration crisis, European security, Syria and Brexit, Drax said: "I congratulate my right hon. Friend on her thoughtful statement. Does she agree that "Brexit means Brexit" means that we leave the EU and all the EU regulations? Does she agree that that is the certainty that this country is looking for?"

The Prime Minister replied: "...it does indeed. On the EU regulations, it is important that, at the point at which we leave the EU, EU regulations are brought into UK domestic law. It will then, of course, be open to this Parliament to decide which of those regulations it wishes to continue with and which it wishes to change."

"It is important that we all know what Brexit means," says Drax. "To me it means moving outside all EU legislation, even if we have to fall back on WTO rules.

"There is nothing to fear outside the EU; indeed I believe Europe will move closer to us, not the other way round, as our negotiations get under way and the EU continues to implode politically, economically and financially.

"This is a great opportunity for our country to once again stand on her own two feet, while at the same time trading and working with our European allies and friends. Together we can do great things, but only if each country respects the other's history, language, borders, economy, currency, and democracy."

On a very serious note. One of the reasons the EU was founded. Stop racism!

Police said incidents of racial or religious abuse in England and Wales increased 41 percent in the month after the vote.

There were 3,886 such hate crime recorded in July 2015, rising to 5,468 in July of this year, according to the Home Office.

“I think it has turned ugly,” said Donskoy “I feel extremely sad about it because for me the UK was a really tolerant place to be, it’s made me feel very self conscious.

“I was on the Tube last week and I’m re-reading some French classics and I thought ‘Do I pull my book out of my bag or do I not? What’s going to happen if I do?’ I never used to feel so self-conscious.

“We know there’s stuff happening in the playground too where children are passing on their own parents’ hostility and xenophobia.

“You don’t hear it on the news, but people’s houses are being attacked too, that’s something I know from Bristol.”

The London-based midwife has lived most of her life in England but never thought it would be necessary to get a British passport.

“I was genuinely devastated ,” Anabel told Euronews. “I was on a night shift and went on my break at 4.30am and saw the news and burst out crying. I’d been anxious about it for weeks before because I thought it would turn out the way it did, but hoped it wouldn’t. I still believe it was a vote about xenophobia, racism and intolerance.”

Anabel, 28, says England feels like home but if the country “doesn’t want me” she’s reluctant to pay more than £1,200 for a British nationality.

“I have never felt my mixed race immigrant status as I do now, Brexit has opened my eyes to how people feel and it’s alarming.

[B]“What has been interesting is how people have said to me: ‘But we don’t mean your kind of immigrant’. What the hell does that mean?

“I now feel fear and uncertainty and me not being white puts a bigger bullseye than before for xenophobic and racist remarks.

“I’m devastated and feel very uncertain about the future mainly because the people who created this mess have no clue what to do.

Nina Hofmann, Mother-of-two Nina, who is married to a British man, says she could have to move back to Germany because of a ‘little publicised rule’ has ruined her chances of getting a residency card, a key step on the road to full citizenship.

The freelance language teacher, based in Huddersfield, took time out of work to bring up her children, now aged eight and six.

During this period she did not take out private healthcare insurance, a key requirement of getting a residency card.

She says the rule was not publicised and she now fears she would not be eligible for a residency card until after Brexit goes through.

Nina, 36, told Euronews: “I’m now in a situation where I have a British husband, dual-national children and obviously everyone is saying common sense will prevail but I do know the immigration laws when it comes to families. I’m not holding much hope.

“The worst case scenario is that I’ll be denied residency and have to leave the country that is my home.

“I’m preparing myself for it and we would be able to make a home in Germany in the end but I moved here because I spoke the language and I found it easier to find a job here and my husband already had a house and job and he doesn’t speak in German.

“We could make a home elsewhere, but despite everything that’s happened, I still like the UK, it would be a blow. I find it very upsetting. When I go home and look at my house and I think ‘Is this really my home?‘”
