Another who confuses the oven ready Brexit deal that was subsequently approved by a majority in the UK parliament and given effect by the UK leaving the EU on 31 January, and a free trade agreement which was subsequently being negotiated in bad faith by the EU, as recent developments illustrate, about which this was never said.........

Never let it be said Phil does a fact check before pasting a link...

BennyD - I seem to remember you swore never to post anything on this thread after you threw your toys out of the pram (that was around post #2,000). Too bad you forgot your own commitment as we sure could do without your swearing and your bile.

Oh yeah Brexit as if we didn't have enough problems.

I'm not sure there's any point to a trade agreement, Britain ain't open for any business with all the forthcoming Covid19 lockdowns.

Just received my morning update regarding all things power related (electricity, gas, oil, coal, solar, wind etc etc etc).

The fears in the market are that with a no deal Brexit Sterling will all most certainly lose at least another 10% of it's value against all major currencies, not just the Euro.

So to add to all of the woes of recession, unemployment and Covid19, everything we import (most things) will cost even more.

And they say 2020 is bad, I reckon 2021 will be even worse!

Yeah, ditto.

Still, it's all a gamble. Whilst a no-deal outcome might bollox the pound, I suspect a deal won't do much to bolster it significantly, not long-term.

(Like I know what the **** I'm talking about.)

Also I'm paying far less tax here as against the increased tax level of one-man MSC Limiteds in UK now.

Tories are pulling every bit of slack up to themselves, people have nothing left to give now, won't even pay for the less-well off kids school dinners the b4stards.

And it's not even the poorer folks getting fleeced like I said, anyone not in the clique, small businesses, the self employed, musicians, etc.

Time for change, big change....

Wasn't my words. It's from a highly respected energy data company.

Ironically, I'll be paid in Euro's for a job which has DD going on at the moment. That will hopefully be concluded in January so I guess I could technically earn more £££'s

Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t realise it was a Christian reading group; allow me to go and stand on the naughty step. While I’m there, I’ll look for the emoji with the two fingers.........

Of course it is, Labour, Socialism, communism, Trotskyism yada, yada, yada. Obviously we will be soooo much better with that lot of fringe fuckwits running the country. This time, the Tories will leave the Socialist b4stards with no money, so we can see how they get on. Karma is a b!tch.

I'd like to argue but not in the mood. Other things on my mind.
