"Public broadcaster ARD’s regular DeutschlandTrend survey with research group Infratest dimap showed on Friday that 16 percent of respondents said they would vote for the AfD in a national election - a 2 percent increase from the last poll on September 1st." A significant trend, another 2% in less than a month ! Next year elections are going to be very interesting. |

What happens in other countries will depend on what final agreement the UK ends up with for Brexit day. |

Again: nobody seems to be able to answer this simple question.
The entire premise assumes that Britain will magically and inexplicably stop buying European goods. Is the UK planning to ban European imports? What for? So it has to import everything from the USA or Australia at a premium? Requiring all UK businesses to establish new supply chains from afar? Why? Equally, nobody can answer this basic question: What is the upside from Brexit? |

Bring Back Britannia
The Daily Telegraph has launched a campaign to return a modern-day version of HMY Britannia to the seas to help secure trade deals once Britain has left the European Union.
A great Idea Make Britain Great Again :britflag: |

Bloody silly idea. How will a floating luxury home help to make trade deals? Get real.

It has been said that the EU stands to lose billions in trade with Britain, and that suggests Britain has leverage in negotiation. But Britain would be cutting its own throat by banning or imposing tariffs on European imports. So that leverage is a delusion. |
Re: Bring Back Britannia
Well, I suppose the proposal is a recognition that new trade deals are going to take a decade or so to materialise, not the couple of years promised by the Brexiters, since recommissioning The Britannia would take at least that long. I doubt whether the feasibility study will be much less than two years.

seriously you remoaners crack me up! |
re: Post EU Referendum
More of those pesky details remoaners keep bringing up:
Brexit: True cost of UK leaving EU without trade deal revealed World Trade Organisation rules mean that UK exporters would be hit with the EU’s Common Customs Tariff – a wide range of taxes on imports. These would serve to push up the price of UK exports, rendering them instantly less competitive in local markets and damaging British-based exporting firms. In 2015 official statistics show the UK exported £133bn worth of goods to the rest of the European Union, almost half of our global goods exports. This included £10bn in food and drink, £16bn of fuel and around £10bn of motor vehicles. A separate analysis by the London School of Economics suggested the welfare losses of moving to the WTO rules in a “big bang” would be up to 3.5 per cent of GDP per head instantly. |

Good God alive!! I find myself agreeing with Gideon : https://www.theguardian.com/politics...st-hard-brexit
A sad day indeed. I do hope there's a satisfactory antidote to this episode around lunchtime. |
re: Post EU Referendum
Do we really want post-Brexit Britain to be the world’s biggest tax haven? (and could the Home Secretary be the first casualty of the pre-Brexit era?)

re: Post EU Referendum
Apparently, it's already the money laundering capitol
London is now the global money-laundering centre for the drug trade His warning follows a National Crime Agency (NCA) threat assessment which stated: “We assess that hundreds of billions of US dollars of criminal money almost certainly continue to be laundered through UK banks, including their subsidiaries, each year.” Referring to HSBC’s record $1.9bn (£1.2bn) US fine for money laundering for the Mexican Sinaloa drugs cartel in 2012, Mr Saviano said: “The biggest UK bank! Yet it has scarcely been written about. The British treat it as not their problem, because there aren’t corpses on the streets. |
