Very short term NO and long term DEFINITELY NOT.

There is so much vitriol and cynism in this thread now, I feel the urgent need to clean it out so that we can fill in new acid, so here we have a temporary switch to something completely different. At least, its London.

I recall how surprised I was back then when learning that this little thing actually indeed could sing - and very well so.

And now back to the main program.


:O:

NO CHANCE, not in a million years, try thinking outside of the box.

Here's a clue: Terrorism connections.

Have another: “It’s about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA.”

Some journalist said on Danish or was it Swedish TV, a while back

This charade and all those problems surrounding UK leaving EU have scared other politicians in rest of the EU.

First I was sad. I'm one of those who gladly had voted leave.

Then I understood it.

UK is not ONE country but consist of Great Britain, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland together they form the UK.

And the problem is around Irland and Northern Ireland.

So countries like Denmark, Sweden, Germany a.s.o would not have the same issue if they, through a referendum, decide to leave.

^ That is why this country is called Great Britain :O:

I wonder how the historians will look at this in 20-25 years from now ?

With critical eyes or with understandable eyes ?

Lord let some brain fall from heaven.

When the Euro enters the final stage of explosion, it will pull the EU economy down with it. Then you want to be as far away from the EU as you can.



If the Eurozone were the Chernobyl reactor, we are in the phase now where the reactor core is already oversaturated with Xenon (debts, bonds) and no active cooling gets done and the power output level (inflation) is very low. The ECB currently tries desperately to drive up the power output again so that the Xenon gets burnt again and so decontaminates the core again. Just any moment now we will see how the power output skyrockets upwards in no time and then somebody will push the emergency shutdown button. Then the control rods drive back into the reactor, and the moment their tips touch the inside, the whole thing blew up in Chernobyl, and the fiscal equivalent will happen in the Eurozone.



The good thing is for the next hundred years or longer nobody will dare to ever try predatory FIAT paper money systems or European currency unions again. However, when the last living time witness of the evnt has died - mankind's memory is very shortlived, it seems.

I don't think you have to be an expert on economy to understand, what's happening today will sooner or later backfire.

Negative interest and all other those things in our economy.

Have you considered writing a novel? :)

Hard to believe Bercow is a Tory MP but thank God he's retiring at the end of the month.

Steptoe must be spitting feathers, he's been anti EU all his political career and rules over all the party with an iron fist aided by Labours equivalent of the brown shirts (Momentum) yet he has allowed himself to be shunted into a corner by elements that are fast making the party a remain party.

Could well be two days of light entertainment ahead.

Did i get somethign wrong on Saturday? It was reprted that the vote planned for Saturday was not held at all? It was pulled back before it was held, at least this is what the newspaper in Germany said....?!

The Government dropped the 'meaningful vote' because the Letwin amendment was carried prior so in effect became an alternative 'meaningful vote'

The vote on the deal was dropped. Period.The Letvin amendement did not vote on the deal either. It plans to do so, like Johnson planned to have a vote over his. Both have not taken place yet.

There was no vote on the deal on saturday, Letvin does not change that. The argument that the Letvin amendement is to be counted as a vote on the dela, is comparing apples with oranges.
