Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)

Can I remind everyone that there has already been one request from the team to be polite and avoid name calling. If you can't manage this I suggest that stepping away from the PC for a time might be a better response or to even try the novel approach of using the ignore function

It is a relief she's feeling better, imagine how bad she must have felt if this guy could get in but she couldn't

She does appear to be having a dreadful bout of constipation. No one could vote if they were that full of s

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)

Quote:
SCOTLAND would have to ditch the pound and sign up for the euro if it wants to split from the UK and join the EU, a top Eurocrat said today.

Jacqueline Minor, the European Commission’s UK representative, added an independent Scotland would have to wait in line for membership along with states such as Serbia.

She also poured cold water on claims Scotland would be able to carve out a special deal in Brexit negotiations.

Speaking in Edinburgh, she said: “The negotiations will be with the United Kingdom and that means essentially the Westminster Government.”

The Commission says Scotland would not be able to “inherit” the UK’s membership and would be in the same position as Balkan nations that have applied to join – including Serbia, Bosnia Herzogovina, and Montenegro.

Meanwhile in another blow to remainers risible project fear predictions:

Quote:
BRITAIN has scored a post-Brexit vote hat-trick with builders, manufacturers and exporters all thriving.

The UK’s industrial sector grew at its fastest annual rate, 4.3 per cent, in nearly six years in December.

Construction also beat expectations to rise by 1.8 per cent month on month, up from just 0.4 per cent in November

A third boost came from the shrinking trade deficit as exports boomed, particularly to non-EU countries where there was a £1.1billion rise.

The three successes lifted the FTSE 250, a better indicator of the UK economy’s success than the FTSE 100 index, to its highest ever close. It ended the day up 0.47 per cent, or 87.77 at 18,715.36.

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)

Importance of sorting out post-Brexit medicine regulation highlighted by medical experts. I'm hopeful that the UK government will come to an agreement with the European regulator and this shows the dangers of what some call a "clean break" from the EU.
Quote:
Lives will be lost if the UK sets up its own medicines regulator after Brexit and cuts ties with the European body currently responsible for ensuring drugs are safe, a leading cancer specialist has warned.
Professor Paul Workman, president of The Institute of Cancer Research, said pharmaceutical companies would naturally seek regulatory approval for new drugs in the biggest markets first, potentially putting the UK behind the European Union, United States and Japan.

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)

REVEALED: Britain CAN quit EU without a Brexit withdrawal agreement and save £150 BILLION

A top legal expert has told Express.co.uk that under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, Britain has the legal right to leave the EU without a withdrawal agreement should they not agree to exit terms.

And Prime Minister Theresa May can easily thwart any attempts by EU leaders, including Polish politician Donald Tusk and Luxembourg's former Prime Minister Jean Claude Juncker, to hold the British tax payer to ransom by simply saying “No!”.

Christopher O'Donnell. Thought the name was familiar.

"U.S. securities regulators sued two former financial advisers at Morgan Stanley Friday for defrauding at least 50 mutual fund companies and their shareholders.
Darryl Goldstein, 36, and Christopher O'Donnell, 45, engaged in deceptive acts between January 2002 and August 2003 that were designed to circumvent mutual funds' restrictions on market timing and generate fees for themselves, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan."

That's always been an option. We don't like the agreement then just leave.
Nothing they can do about it but it would harm getting a trade deal with them so not necessarily the preferred option.

Subsection 3 of article 50 actually states.

Quote:
3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

Well, Teresa May was a remainer, but she's putting the majority vote of the nation above her own personal preference for the remain agenda.


Not sure how your argument stacks up in the case of the Prime Minister.

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)

No no no Passingbat Theresa may must be roundly criticised at every opportunity for trying to sort out the mess that david cameron created him and georgey boy have skipped off into the private sunset and are not to blame one jot. All things considered i think shes doing as good a job as anyone would under the circumstances and her plans in other areas are very welcome just a shame they won't get sorted until brexit is.

Ah, David Cameron and Georgey boy; I remember them. Leaders of the Remain brigade if I remember correctly.

They were the ones that categorically said that a vote to leave the EU was a vote to leave the single market. I like that. Well done Mrs May for following through.
