  397. SUNAK MUST GO! So three reversals on Sunak's promises - 1) Tax Increases rather than cuts; 2) Dropping the Enabling Bill to allow Ministers to modify EU legislation meaning full legislation in every case will be required and stopped by Civil Servants; 3) Fracking ban - another EU-WEF policy in support of his Chinese interests. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  398. 'Mistakes wre made' this is a line straight from the Soviet Propaganda era, when excusing the Purges, Defeats in WW2, forced deportations and genocide. In fact they were STRUCTURAL to the system - as are Sunak-Empty Suits policies. Sunak-Empty Suit another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. At least 200 careerist Tory MPs are pro-Sunak-Empty Suit, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents.

  866. Oh No He isn't! Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  892. The main problem for the Brexit process was that the overwhelming party political machines of ALL the parties in Westminster were Remainers and attempted to frustrate the referendum decision. NO government, not Cameron's or May's became a pro-Leave party officially until Johnson was elected Tory leader and PM in mid 2019 and then without a majority to implement the decision until he got a Dissolution. ALL the Westminster opposition parties were and Remain pro-EU. Only Farage's Brexit Party got an overwhelming mandate but that was in a EUroParliament Election the UK should not have participated in. That too was a deliberate intention of the Remainer Parliament to try and keep the UK in the EU and try and get a representation in Brussels they could claim had 'reversed the referendum'. It blew up in their faces and Farage's party was the single largest in Brussels. What I find so remarkable is that the Pro-EU people seem to think that 'UK Leave' is not in any way damaging to the EU. Can anybody give me an example wherein if an organisation loses 20% of its value and the equivalent GDP of nineteen other members combined, but who have no trade with the others of significance, how it is not damaging? Twaddle and the UK has by joining CPACC, as the Fifth largest economy added to Japan as Second created the largest trading association in the World, it will also cement the UKCAUNZ association incidentally to this leaving the US to easily create further bi-laterals within the CPACC framework.

  993. The latest stats are out for Scotland’s economy, and they make dire reading for the SNP. Scotland’s deficit between money spent and income raised has more than doubled in 2020/21 to £36.3 billion. Almost as much as the entire Holyrood budget… This represents a deficit of 22.4% of GDP for the year – up from 8.8% in 2019/20. By comparison, the UK’s national figure hit 14.5%. Scotland’s 22.4% stands in contrast to the 10.4% after the financial crash in 2009/10. However, the UK Treasury finances its obligations using Low Interest Long Term Debt which are Ten Year Bonds at 0.26% and most of these borrowings were made to refinance higher rate debt redemption, the UK Treasury 'owes' most of this debt in effect to itself. This is another UK Treasury subsidy the Scottish debt and deficit is supported by. An independent Scotland would have to offer Italian rates of 17% and it cannot sell them as this would mean the Italians cannot afford to service them. Certainly Scotland cannot. The pathological lies are not just the public ones from the SNP which tells whoppers off the record to its supporters - such as "Scotland gives more in tax than it receives" and "We can have a Scots Currency equal to the Pound" or "We can afford our Deficits and finance our Debt at current taxation levels", or "When we rejoin EU we will have a huge export market". All lies based on the Unicorns and Rainbows of non-existent economic and trading viability. ‘REFERENDUM-NEVERENDUM’ WHEN ? NOT IF? So just WHEN will the SNP pass their Referendum Act? WHEN are the SNP applying for a Section 30 Order from Westminster? WHEN will the SNP hold their own Referendum without a S30? As ONE THIRD of the Scots Electorate Abstained in the Holyrood Elections and a slight majority of votes cast were for Unionist parties then the answers are NEVER! The ‘abstainers’ turned out in droves in 2014 to Vote No. Some 2m Scots Voted for the Union and 1.6m for RemainEU, lower turnout because, well because the Bennies know that the EU membership does not affect their income. The SNP will constantly claim they are being refused a referendum but Gove has already told the SNP they can have one - this means the SNP dare not hold one as they know they cannot win. So it will be the same Auld Song and ever more demands for HM Treasury money without accountability for it.

  1329. The latest stats are out for Scotland’s economy, and they make dire reading for the SNP. Scotland’s deficit between money spent and income raised has more than doubled in 2020/21 to £36.3 billion. Almost as much as the entire Holyrood budget… This represents a deficit of 22.4% of GDP for the year – up from 8.8% in 2019/20. By comparison, the UK’s national figure hit 14.5%. Scotland’s 22.4% stands in contrast to the 10.4% after the financial crash in 2009/10. However, the UK Treasury finances its obligations using Low Interest Long Term Debt which are Ten Year Bonds at 0.26% and most of these borrowings were made to refinance higher rate debt redemption, the UK Treasury 'owes' most of this debt in effect to itself. This is another UK Treasury subsidy the Scottish debt and deficit is supported by. An independent Scotland would have to offer Italian rates of 17% and it cannot sell them as this would mean the Italians cannot afford to service them. Certainly Scotland cannot. The pathological lies are not just the public ones from the SNP which tells whoppers off the record to its supporters - such as "Scotland gives more in tax than it receives" and "We can have a Scots Currency equal to the Pound" or "We can afford our Deficits and finance our Debt at current taxation levels", or "When we rejoin EU we will have a huge export market". All lies based on the Unicorns and Rainbows of non-existent economic and trading viability. ‘REFERENDUM-NEVERENDUM’ WHEN ? NOT IF? So just WHEN will the SNP pass their Referendum Act? WHEN are the SNP applying for a Section 30 Order from Westminster? WHEN will the SNP hold their own Referendum without a S30? As ONE THIRD of the Scots Electorate Abstained in the Holyrood Elections and a slight majority of votes cast were for Unionist parties then the answers are NEVER! The ‘abstainers’ turned out in droves in 2014 to Vote No. Some 2m Scots Voted for the Union and 1.6m for RemainEU, lower turnout because, well because the Bennies know that the EU membership does not affect their income. The SNP will constantly claim they are being refused a referendum but Gove has already told the SNP they can have one - this means the SNP dare not hold one as they know they cannot win. So it will be the same Auld Song and ever more demands for HM Treasury money without accountability for it.

  1393.  @Rumpelstyltskin  All this is on the public record. From 1921 the Free State was BANKRUPT, the Punt was Sterling Area currency with its Interest rates, Exchange Rates and Fiscal Policy managed by the Bank of England and HM Treasury. . In 1974 it FAILED to achieve the Economic Admissions criteria for EEC membership. The UK explained that it did not regard the self styled 'republic' as independent because it received subsidies from the HM Treasury, also its main export was its people to the UK and main income from UK resident 'nationals' repatriating salaries. The EEC then designed the Commission Budget which created an arrangement whereby the Gross-Net National Contributions system transpired as the ONLY Net Recipient (income greater than expenditure) of the Twelve members was the RoI. This remained so until 2014. You write - 'doing quite well thee days' you mean compared to the Balkans and Baltics? BIG DEAL, sure not quite Donkeys and Beetroots. The RoI's standard of living is 20% lower than NI-UK. All the statistics about the RoI economy are Leprechaun Economics (Paul Krugman Economics Nobel Laureate) based on faked GDP-GNI (No version of Irish GDP statistics give a meaningful account of Irish living standards as former Irish Central Bank chairman, Dr Patrick Honahan has admitted https://www.centralbank.ie/news/article/press-release-economic-letter-is-ireland-really-the-most-prosperous-country-in-europe-04-january-2021) Dream on. 2022 - Celebrating the Centenary of Irish Disunity.

  1458. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  1875. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  2201. Alba are as much a bunch of fanatics as the SNP. Utter twaddle. The latest stats are out for Scotland’s economy, and they make dire reading for the SNP. Scotland’s deficit between money spent and income raised has more than doubled in 2020/21 to £36.3 billion. Almost as much as the entire Holyrood budget… This represents a deficit of 22.4% of GDP for the year – up from 8.8% in 2019/20. By comparison, the UK’s national figure hit 14.5%. Scotland’s 22.4% stands in contrast to the 10.4% after the financial crash in 2009/10. However, the UK Treasury finances its obligations using Low Interest Long Term Debt which are Ten Year Bonds at 0.26% and most of these borrowings were made to refinance higher rate debt redemption, the UK Treasury 'owes' most of this debt in effect to itself. This is another UK Treasury subsidy the Scottish debt and deficit is supported by. An independent Scotland would have to offer Italian rates of 17% and it cannot sell them as this would mean the Italians cannot afford to service them. Certainly Scotland cannot. The pathological lies are not just the public ones from the SNP which tells whoppers off the record to its supporters - such as "Scotland gives more in tax than it receives" and "We can have a Scots Currency equal to the Pound" or "We can afford our Deficits and finance our Debt at current taxation levels", or "When we rejoin EU we will have a huge export market". All lies based on the Unicorns and Rainbows of non-existent economic and trading viability. ‘REFERENDUM-NEVERENDUM’ WHEN ? NOT IF? So just WHEN will the SNP pass their Referendum Act? WHEN are the SNP applying for a Section 30 Order from Westminster? WHEN will the SNP hold their own Referendum without a S30? As ONE THIRD of the Scots Electorate Abstained in the Holyrood Elections and a slight majority of votes cast were for Unionist parties then the answers are NEVER! The ‘abstainers’ turned out in droves in 2014 to Vote No. Some 2m Scots Voted for the Union and 1.6m for RemainEU, lower turnout because, well because the Bennies know that the EU membership does not affect their income. The SNP will constantly claim they are being refused a referendum but Gove has already told the SNP they can have one - this means the SNP dare not hold one as they know they cannot win. So it will be the same Auld Song and ever more demands for HM Treasury money without accountability for it.

The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  2406. The UK's GDP grew at 7.1% last year compared to Germany's 2.3% that metric means the UK grew by a greater volume of monetary value than the German economy did. Brexit can give us opportunities but the Treasury and Office of Budget Responsibility along with the PAC are all dominated, saturated, with pro-EU supporters. The Treasury still follows Maastricht Treaty Rules on public accounting fiscal and budgetary management intended for our integration into the EUro 25 years after Gordon Brown made it clear we would keep Sterling. The issues which this man claims are caused by Brexit were actually caused by the fanatical campaign by the Remainer Parliament of 2017-19 to keep the UK within the EU, hamstringing a clean break. This Remoaner - Rejoiner shill ignores some basic economic facts.. 1) You do not need a Trade Deal to conduct trade but they are nice to have, but the WTO-GATT arrangements meant the UK consistently traded more with non-EU nations at a surplus than with the EU at a deficit. So much for the none benefits of the Single Market and Customs Union.. The UK concluded over 60 deals as both Vienna Treaty 'successor roll overs' (which it was claimed would not happen) and then expanded them by negotiating for those elements excluded previously which benefitted UK trade. 2) These deals were such that coming out of the World Covid Recession in mid 2021 the UK had increased the surplus with these nations by an additional £20 Billion on pre-Brexit levels. By import substitution-swapping to non-EU suppliers UK -EU imports were lower. 3) The reason why no FTA was concluded with the USA is that Congress and the US Trade Department are opposed to it because the UK has a surplus in trade and payments with the US and an FTA would exacerbate that to no clear advantage to Washington. Please stop interviewing idiots like this man.

  2443. Sunak-Empty Suit is the author of the current mess! Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

  2885. Let us just remind ourselves of the staggering victory the people of this country had over the ENTIRE Establishment - every one of them from the vast majority of Political Classes as the major parties and the smaller Nationalist wannabees, the career Civil Service, the Big Brother monopolistic CBI Businesses, the entire Groves of Academe and their associated Swamps of Education, the Quality Press, the Bigoted Broadcasting Corporation, along with its 'independent’ rivals and their special 'dependency class the Commentariat, also the alleged Comedians with their snarling prejudices, the Luvvies of the Glitterati and Culturatti and their associated hangers on of the 'Sports Personalities'. All of them, ALL, got the biggest Collective Kick in the Crotch and then up the Backside from the vast Majority of the Electorate who turned out in the largest proportion and numbers ever seen in our Country. This was achieved not only against the EUroFantasists but also in no small part despite the unremitting propaganda which turned out to be so shallow that even Spending Twice as Much on the Remain side (that does not include the Government Leaflet neutrally explaining we Must Remain - for which Cameron should be Surcharged for £9m) as on Leave and We Still Won! However, the Establishment is still trying to keep the UK closely aligned to the EU as an attempt to reintegrate us back into it, hence their devotion to the NIP, a device to keep the entire UK within EU arrangements and also the Treasury adherence to the Maastricht Treaty GDP-PSBR-Deficit rules even though Brown ruled out joining the EUro in 1997..

  2914. The latest stats are out for Scotland’s economy, and they make dire reading for the SNP. Scotland’s deficit between money spent and income raised has more than doubled in 2020/21 to £36.3 billion. Almost as much as the entire Holyrood budget… This represents a deficit of 22.4% of GDP for the year – up from 8.8% in 2019/20. By comparison, the UK’s national figure hit 14.5%. Scotland’s 22.4% stands in contrast to the 10.4% after the financial crash in 2009/10. However, the UK Treasury finances its obligations using Low Interest Long Term Debt which are Ten Year Bonds at 0.26% and most of these borrowings were made to refinance higher rate debt redemption, the UK Treasury 'owes' most of this debt in effect to itself. This is another UK Treasury subsidy the Scottish debt and deficit is supported by. An independent Scotland would have to offer Italian rates of 17% and it cannot sell them as this would mean the Italians cannot afford to service them. Certainly Scotland cannot. The pathological lies are not just the public ones from the SNP which tells whoppers off the record to its supporters - such as "Scotland gives more in tax than it receives" and "We can have a Scots Currency equal to the Pound" or "We can afford our Deficits and finance our Debt at current taxation levels", or "When we rejoin EU we will have a huge export market". All lies based on the Unicorns and Rainbows of non-existent economic and trading viability. ‘REFERENDUM-NEVERENDUM’ WHEN ? NOT IF? So just WHEN will the SNP pass their Referendum Act? WHEN are the SNP applying for a Section 30 Order from Westminster? WHEN will the SNP hold their own Referendum without a S30? As ONE THIRD of the Scots Electorate Abstained in the Holyrood Elections and a slight majority of votes cast were for Unionist parties then the answers are NEVER! The ‘abstainers’ turned out in droves in 2014 to Vote No. Some 2m Scots Voted for the Union and 1.6m for RemainEU, lower turnout because, well because the Bennies know that the EU membership does not affect their income. The SNP will constantly claim they are being refused a referendum but Gove has already told the SNP they can have one - this means the SNP dare not hold one as they know they cannot win. So it will be the same Auld Song and ever more demands for HM Treasury money without accountability for it.

  2945.  @alienthed.e.i.9165  Thank you for exposing your ignorance. But then you are a very confused and bigoted person. 1) I stated clearly that the Israeli settlers in Gaza BOUGHT the land from Gazans after 1973 Egypt-Israel Peace Agreement. The Israeli government as part of the Peace Process with the PA-PLO agreed to remove these by paying the settlers compensation and then giving the land to the PA. Bought legally from Gazans through UNRWA. . Surely you can understand that simple transaction! 2) The 'lands' were NOT illegally occupied, except by statements made by ... the PA-PLO pushing wiht the Arab League pious resolutions in the UN. This has no legal status. 3) There is in fact no real Palestinian Authority because it is split between various warring factions, Fatah, Hezbollah, PIJ, Hamas.. 4) The reason Israel is larger than was mandated is because in 1947 the Arab League would not allow ANY part of the Mandate to be given to Juvvs and the Arabs were in fact Egyptian or Jordanee nationals. The seven national Arab League armies ordered the Arabs there to leave - 150,000 did so and 125,000 did not, in order to attack the new Israeli state which was confined to the mandated territory. 5) The Arab League LOST and Israel acquired the other parts but not WB and Gaza. This was where the AL ordered the Arabs to live as 'refugees' although they were invited back by the Israeli government but the League would not allow them to go back. In fact these Arabs that were land owners sold their property through UNRWA to either Israeli individuals or to the Israeli government. 6) The Israeli government conquered Gaza, WB , Golan and Sinai in 1967 when the Arab League under Nasser attacked it again. Israel signed a Peace Treaty with Egypt in 1973 and gave back Sinai but Egypt did not want the Gazans. Already in 1971 the PLO attempted to overthrow King Hessein who expelled them. 7) In 1988 Jordan gave the WB to the PLO and effectively declared itself neutral to Israel. 8) Israel has attempted to give Peace for Land with the PA but the PA do not want Peace. The mineral resources if exploited by Israel will be spent on the Gazans and WB but you of course are wholly unaware that the main non-Arab income to the PA is in fact PA domiciled Arabs income tax paid for working in Israel given to it. 9) Israel supplies power and water to Gaza for free but Hamas do not care if it is cut off because of their terrorism as this will reinforce their victimhood narrative. When Anwar the Hamas leader was asked about the effects on civilians he responded that this was a matter for UNWRA not him. NOW GO AND EDUCATE YOURSELF WITH THE FACTS!

  3416.  @andyc7917  More economic ignorance and drivel from you! Scotland does not have its own currency and if it did it would be worthless as the Scottish economy is a basket case. Scotland’s deficit between money spent and income raised has more than doubled in 2020/21 to £36.3 billion. Almost as much as the entire Holyrood budget. This represents a deficit of 22.4% of GDP for the year – up from 8.8% in 2019/20. By comparison, the UK’s national figure hit 14.5%,, however the UK Treasury manages that by its ability to issue low -interest bonds 10 years at 0.26%. That is the UK Treasury covers that of the Scots in its own management operation through LIBs . Scotland would not even be able to issues bonds at Italian rates 17% at 10 years and the Italians cannot find buyers for them. The Pound's value on the ForEx is not in any way reliant on the Scottish economy which is a fraction of the UK's. Even the SNP admit they would have to use the Bank of England Note Issue (either until it qualified to join the EUro, it can't or find an alternative, it can't) which by the way is to completely replace the Scots Notes of RBS-BoS later this year. So no independent currency, so no control of interest rates, or ForEx, or ability to borrow at a discount or in fact any independent Fiscal Policy! Perhaps you can go and look at the experience of the 26 Counties Failed Sate from Day One of Independence when it was forgiven its UK portion of the UK National Debt and could still not cover its own budget, nor borrow because it had failed in its previous debt obligations. It used the Pound-Punt which had the same status as the Scots Notes ie BoE backed. The pathological lies are not just the public ones from the SNP which tells whoppers off the record to its supporters, like you. - such as "Scotland gives more in tax than it receives" and "We can have a Scots Currency equal to the Pound" or "We can afford our Deficits and finance our Debt at current taxation levels", or "When we rejoin EU we will have a huge export market". All lies based on the Unicorns and Rainbows of non-existent economic and trading viability. I wonder if you are related to Koko The Kilted Klown who spouts ';hilarity' at psychotic levels in this forum..

  3505. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  3580. There are 1.2 Billion M@zl1ms in the World living in millions of square miles of Africa and Asia. There are 15 million J6vvs of which 8 million live in Isr@el, which is the size of Wales or New Hampshire. Yet somehow Isr@el is the problem. In 1948 there were 120,000 Arabs in the Isr@el1 state and today 2 million, 20% of the population with the highest standard of living in the region as Isr@el1 citizens. Netanyahu was imprisoned by an Arab Isr@el1 judge. No land was 'stolen' by Is@el, it was purchased from Arabs who were told by the Arab nations not to return after 1948. The buildings in Jerusalem from which Arabs were evicted as squatters recently were also purchased by Is@el1s from the Arab owners. Is@el1s settled in Gaza, having bought it from Arabs, were forcibly removed by the Is@el1 authorities in 2006 and compensation paid to them, the settlements were then given to the PA. So land legally bought in Gaza was given back for free to the PA., which destroyed the productive farms which had been left as 'symbols of occupation'. In 1948 there were 240,000 Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza. Today there are 4 million with the same third world standards as in the neighbouring Arab nations. . So this is 'genocide'? There are Arabs, M@zl1ms, Druze and Christians in Is@el. There are none of these minorities in Gaza and West Bank. So that is Apartheid. Indeed the Juvvish populations of the M@zl1m nations is numbered in just a few hundreds their having been persecuted by those governments and they left for elsewhere, mainly Isr@el. ..

  3640.  @ScottishRoss27  Absolute drivel: no matter how often you repeat your nonsense and I give you practical examples as to the trash thinking you write up, you just post it all again and again. Typical make believe Sporran Economics from the SNP-Alba. What you are saying in your economically ignorant and illiterate way is that Scottish derived taxation should be spent - hypothecated - for Scotland. Well, as a matter of simple arithmetic it is - Gross Receipts of Revenue are less than Public Expenditure (Revenue-PE) and the shortfall is made good by the UK Treasury. As for your facile examples, which cannot create any new jobs contributing to the GDP as they are all just Civil Service roles - as Scotland is part of the Union and receives the same benefits and Public Expenditure as the UK PLUS additional monies because of its economic decline ie Revenue-PE imbalance then it can't have the trappings of an independent state as a Scottish Treasury (Deficit and Debt ratio to GDP) , it has no independent Fiscal and Monetary system (ie a taxation base and an actual currency managed by Reserve-Central Bank). Nor can it host an independent Stock Exchange of any value, how would it raise private capital in IPOs of it was even a fraction of that of say Oporto and be reduced to a retail share swap shop reliant on systems of ... well London (you have no idea of what any of that means do you!). I have further news for you Koko-Kilted Klown (Yes, I know who you are) . Scotland has none of these now as part of the UK and won't have them as part of the EU either, you Arbroath Smoky Brained Tartan Twitt.

  3757.  @leesmusic1  really quite simple - there are two types of Remainer, those who do not accept they LOST all the arguments over the last 45 years because they know nothing about the EU and those who are paid to lie on its behalf. Neither group can make a positive case for it. You of course know nothing about trade, commerce, international economics or what Foreign Exchange Rates in a Floating Currency are for. 1) The Euro is undervalued against the Sterling, yes Sterling is overvalued even now, because the Euro cannot reflect the value of the German economy which it was designed to subsidise. 2) The UK has the largest EU nationals ex pat population of any European nation. It IS the preferred employment choice and furthermore the shortage of labour is because of the strength of the UK economy compared to the Donkeys and Beetroot economies of 15 of the 27 EU statelets. At the lower end of the market we have had not trained enough of our people because those mechanisms w- the Manpower Service Commission and TIndustry Training Boards were destroyed by Sir Humphreys telling Ministers 'We can get them from the EU for cheaper'. Now we can't - GOOD this leas to more domestic opportunities. Burt then you have clealry demonstrated you understand nothing about macro-economics or the Labour Market. Now, you MAKE a positive case for ANY nation to join the EU - and no silly prattle about the Four Control Mechanisms or the Hearts and Flowers nonsense especially the Price Fixing anti-Competitive anti-Consumer Mechanisms of so called Single Market and Customs Union.

  3784. ​ @stephenconway2468  Garbled nonsense. Ireland was NEVER 'united' except under the English and then British Crown. The UK attempted to give it 'Home Rule' and the fanatics would not accept that many of their compatriots did not want it. So fine then: Home Rule was granted in a way that could have led to later unity and the North remained and the South immediately began a civil war with each other over the very policy they claimed they had wanted. Nor was the arrangement offered any different from the other Anglo-phone members of the Empire which became independent - the Canadian confederation did not originally include Newfoundland, NZ was supposed to become a State of Australia, South Africa was a Union. After WW2 the Raj became three separate nations , the Cameroons merged as did the Somalias, but the two Rhodesias and Nyasaland went their own ways. The UK took the RoI into the EEC-EU and paid its accession fees (before you go ballistic and blathering this is a matter of simple arithmetic of the then EEC budget). Dublin could have said it did not want to join - oddly the main argument in the Accession Vote was that 'the UK has joined'. The DUP has accepted the GFA as it entrenches their authority and if the SF withdraws to collapse it then they have a more effective Union anyway. Again, O'Brien ended his public career as a member of the Unionist group that promoted total integration into the UK as like Wales and Scotland at that time. He should know, he was a TD , Government Minister and one time Dublin Ambassador to the UN. ALL Irish Republicanism is fake, they either pretend to not being part of the UK or slavishly follow a European power - Rome, France, Germany all now merged as the Commission- to attempt to prove their non-existent independence. Scottish Indy believers need to look at the history of the Failed State of the 26 Counties and be warned to be careful what they wish for.

  3844. Actually, you know nothing about these issues. You are a complete IGNORAMUS. There has been NO genocide of Palestinians, in fact there are ten times more of them now than in 1948. What did happen was that the Arab neighbour nations have exploited a grievance culture among this group for political purposes. However since the Sadat Peace Treaty and Camp David most of these have ceased to be belligerents. The Abraham Accords have deepened this status. Hamas is intentionally trying to stop the formal peace deals - the spark was that Saudi was to recognise Israel. There has been no occupation for75 years. What you are referring to as 'Palestine' is Israel. You seem unaware that as part of the Oslo Accords Israel withdrew from Gaza and forcibly removed Israeli settlements there. This was a precursor to the general agreement in regard to the West Bank settlements. The history is straightforward, 95% of the LoN Mandate territories became the Arab nations of Saudi, Iraq, Syria and Jordan with Lebanon. A sliver of this was given as Jewish settlements. The Arab nations attacked it and were defeated. These then ORDERED the Arabs to leave and refused to treat with ben Gurion to let them back. Israel and Israelis BOUGHT property off the Palestinians in the empty areas. Nor is Israel an 'apartheid' regime because 20% of its citizens are Arabs and their parties sit in the Knesset and were part of the recent Bennett Coalition. You also seem unaware that the judge in the recent Natanyahu trial was an Arab. In Gaza however, you cannot be a Christian, Druze, Shia never mind a Jew and that looks like apartheid in the extreme to me. Israel has been increasing the number of work visas to Gaza residents as an attempt at normalisation. Hamas do not like 'normal'. Indeed it murdered the Al Fatah PLO representatives in Gaza when it took over in 2008. Nor is Gaza a 'cage/open prison'. It has been blockaded by EGYPT and Israel because of Hamas turning it into a terrorist training camp and base. what 'open prison' has massive armaments and fires rockets into the neighbouring state? If you go to Gaza it looks like any other ME City, shopping malls, fast food outlets and restaurants. Not a prison camp. Because of Hamas's activities they have turned what could have been a prosperous metropolis into a hell hole. Hamas have spent more on its rat holes underground than would be necessary to create a Metro System of benefit to its people.

  4061. There are 1.2 Billion M@zl1ms in the World living in millions of square miles of Africa and Asia. There are 15 million J6vvs of which 8 million live in Isr@el, which is the size of Wales or New Hampshire. Yet somehow Isr@el is the problem. In 1948 there were 120,000 Arabs in the Isr@el1 state and today 2 million, 20% of the population with the highest standard of living in the region as Isr@el1 citizens. Netanyahu was imprisoned by an Arab Isr@el1 judge. No land was 'stolen' by Isr@el, it was purchased from Arabs who were told by the Arab nations not to return after 1948. The buildings in Jerusalem from which Arabs were evicted as squatters recently were also purchased by Is@el1s from the Arab owners. Is@el1s settled in Gaza, having bought it from Arabs, were forcibly removed by the Is@el1 authorities in 2006 and compensation paid to them, the settlements were then given to the PA. So land legally bought in Gaza was given back for free to the PA., which destroyed the productive farms which had been left as 'symbols of occupation'. In 1948 there were 240,000 Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza. Today there are 4 million with the same third world standards as in the neighbouring Arab nations. . So this is 'genocide'? There are Arabs, M@zl1ms, Druze and Christians in Is@el. There are none of these minorities in Gaza and West Bank. So that is Apartheid. Indeed the Juvvish populations of the M@zl1m nations is numbered in just a few hundreds their having been persecuted by those governments and they left for elsewhere, mainly Isr@el. ..

  4091. Ahh 'the Scot 'Rifkind! His endorsement of Biden is the kiss of death'! TRUMP'S RECORD IN OFFICE:- 1: The Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Act, signed into law by President Trump, focused on increasing the role of women in the STEM fields. The Act compels NASA actively to promote STEM subjects to women and girls and encourages women to pursue careers in aerospace. Currently, only one in four women who receive a STEM degree ends up working in a STEM field. 2: The Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act was signed by President Trump in 2017 and authorises the National Science Foundation to support entrepreneurial programmes aimed at women. The Act encourages women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world. 3: The Administration helped launch the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative which is set to release more than $1billion for women entrepreneurs. 4: In February 2019, the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative was launched by the President. The initiative intends to reach 50million women in the developing world by 2025. The goal of the initiative is to provide ‘women with quality education, training, and support, so they can secure and thrive in well-paying jobs in their local economies’. 5: One of President Trump’s early executive orders dealt with the re-establishment of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The President moved the initiative from the Department of Education to the Executive Office of the President and appropriated $360million to historically black institutions, a record amount. 6: The opioid crisis was declared a public health emergency in October 2017. The Trump administration has secured $6billion to fight opioid abuse; $2billion has been provided in grants to help States, territories, tribes, and local communities prevent and treat opioid abuse. 7: A year after declaring the public health emergency the President signed into law The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. The Act makes addiction treatment a priority, prevents overprescription and trains law enforcement officers to intercept shipments, which has led to the first indictments against Chinese nationals for fentanyl trafficking. 8: President Trump has ended the gag clauses that stopped pharmacists from informing patients about lower drug prices. 9: President Trump’s blueprint to lower drug prices has led more than a dozen drug manufactures to enact price freezes, rollbacks, or reductions. 10: In 2018, the FDA approved a record number of generic drugs which will lead to savings of $9billion for American patients. 11: ‘Right to Try’ legislation has expanded access to experimental treatments for terminally ill patients. This provides new treatment opportunities for patients who have tried all existing options. 12: An executive order passed in 2017 bans colleges and universities from receiving federal research grants if they fail to promote free speech. 13: The Department of Justice has received nearly $100million in grant funding to hire additional law enforcement officers. 14: President Trump’s policy of cracking down on the international crime gang MS-13 is starting to bear fruit. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations arrested nearly 800 MS-13 members in the fiscal year 2017, an 83 per cent increase on the previous year. 15: ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 158,581 aliens in the fiscal year 2018, an 11 per cent increase on the previous year. Ninety per cent of those arrested had criminal convictions, pending charges, or had been issued final orders of removal. 16: Removal of convicted criminal aliens increased by 14 per cent from 2017. 17: President Trump launched the office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE). The office’s mission is to ‘provide proactive, timely, adequate, and professional services to victims of crimes committed by removable aliens’. 18: The First Step Act is designed to boost prisoner rehabilitation and create a fairer sentencing system. Crack cocaine is a drug predominantly used in poor black communities; crimes related to crack cocaine carry sentences 18 months longer than crimes related to powder cocaine. More than 500 people with unfair sentences have been released from prison. 19: The Act also expands training programs to reduce recidivism. 20: The fight against ISIS is all but over. President Trump gave military commanders the authority to attack ISIS and this has led to ISIS losing nearly all of its territory, with more than half being liberated since President Trump took office. 21: All of ISIS’s territory in Iraq was liberated. 22: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 saw the largest military pay rise in nearly a decade. 23: The creation of a US Space Force is a much-needed initiative to catch up with Russia and China’s anti-satellite weapons. Ninety-five per cent of Space Force’s budget will come from funds transferred from other areas of the military, with only an additional annual increase of $500million (0.07 per cent of the Department of Defense budget). 24: Just as only Nixon could go to China, only Trump could meet Kim. Prior to the historic summit with Chairman Kim Jong-Un, the Trump administration obtained the release of three American hostages. 25: ‘Jaw-jaw is always better than war-war’: President Trump’s meeting with Chairman Kim has made a lasting peace more likely on the peninsula. 26: The Trump administration has closed two Russian compounds and expelled 35 diplomats in response to Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. 27: The administration also imposed sanctions against Russian agents for their efforts to cause harm to US cybersecurity. 28: The VA Mission Act has allowed eligible veterans to have access to walk-in community clinics that offer immediate, local care. The Department of Veterans Affairs has received a record $73.1billion in funding. This funding included $8.6billion for mental health services, $400million for opioid abuse prevention, and $206million for suicide prevention. 29: President Trump implemented a five-year ban on lobbying for White House employees and a lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign countries. 30: The President donates his salary to charity. There seems to be a lack of knowledge about the President’s time in office; I hope this list has gone some way to start a sensible dialogue about his achievements.

  4266.  @Mezzo396  Twaddle. You know nothing of trade agreements at all, in fact you think that the EU bloc is one, it is not, it is as Customs Union and regulatory system (the so called Single Market) which is inimical to trade, with external and even internal parties. Clearly you get your nonsense from the propaganda unit at the Barlaymont with your idiocy about 'chlorinated chicken' which is risible. The NHS is privatised and the US health sector would be unable to compete with UK suppliers or providers on price. The EU health sectors are privatised and work on a system of insurance. The EU is not a 'massive bloc' it is 6 nations plus another 19 which together do not equal the UK economy and certainly do not trade with each other in anything like the volume the UK did. But this is the usual nonsense pumped out by fools who know nothing of the actual facts. What about EU chlorinated vegetables, or donkey mince pretending to be beef, or infected Dutch eggs or most notably massive doses of anti-biotics in animals. You seem to think that treaties between peaceable nations are a Zero Sum game. They are always mutually and your nonsense about citing US and China is stretching a point of your own as neither of thee have actually any treaties of the kind you pretend. The UK as the second largest European domestic market, of the 5th largest economy, is very attractive to everybody, especially the EU which has now found it is losing exports to the UK but maintains its imports from it. That is the Guardian's 'loss in trade' as if it is a loss to the UK. The UK already trades with the USA at a surplus under WTO, which is why Congress, of any colour, does not want an FTA with the UK. However, the attraction of the UK as a tradig partner is such that the TPPPT has INVITED the UK to join, the ONLY non-Pacific nation to do so and added to the Japanese economy as 3rd in World makes it the actually real biggest mutully beneficial trading partnership in the World. One which the US will associate with a sit has with the USCAMEX arrangement.

  4267.  @mike747436  Another hopelessly ignorant comment about how the EU created rules and legislation - THERE WAS NO INFLUENCE by the UK in these processes. This is why Gisella Stewart a LUK-German national and Labour MP went from being Blair's envoy to the EU Constitutional 'committee' to leading the Leave Campaign. The Commission IS NOT APPOINTED by the MEPs and the EuroParl has no say in the process or framing or revising the Commissions regulations. There is NO SUCH THING as 'indirect' control or democracy. Then you bring in the Lords as if it is a magic rabbit from a hat, the point is that Blair introduced most of the Peers. Ohh by the way, the previous Italian PM to Meloni was APPOINTED from the APPOINTED Senators . Prior to that he was an APPOINTED Commissioner of the EU- President of the ECB. Van der Leyen was like Kim Jong Il APPOINTED from a short list of which was not even on it! HERE IS HOW THE EU DOES LEGISLATION - READ AND EDUCATE YOURSELF:- A perusal of the administrative arrangements shows how the Qualified Majority Vote (ie a Vote weighted towards the tadpole Nations - 21 of them) is manipulated by the Commission through the use of Bribes (sorry I meant to use the technical expression 'Development Grants') and 'the Union Policies' represented by the Commission as Agreed, before any actual discussion:- 1) Treaties and other Formal Documents Agreed in general principle based on the Treaty of Rome ‘general principles and Monet Declaration'; 2) EUroCommission 'tasked' with implementation policy - these are sent to the EUroCouncil of Ministers for 'approval' (with the explanation the Council cannot overturn what is in the Treaties and FDs - see 1)); 3) A Committee of the Commissioners, the 'Committee of the Permanent Representatives' plus members of the Council, plus representatives of the EUroParl hold a meeting 'The Trialogues' to detail the Legislation to put forward to the EUroParl with the rider that the Council has Approved the intentions - (see 2)); 4) The EUroParl accepts the draft Legislation - the EUro Commission President tells them to Accept it because of 1), 2) and 3). The EUroParl passes it. 5) The Legislation directly applies to the individual Nations and is applied without debate or amendment as their own Laws and Directives. If anybody objects they are referred to 1 to 4. OK - NOW WITHDRAW YOUR ERRONEOUS MISINFORMED IDIOTIC POST.

  4362.  @ohdearism  I see - so selling stuff to somebody who needs it is them having leverage - sure, so the EU has leverage over China and the US does it? Or maybe they just have no alternative to importing it - you know like the EU now sells less to the UK in goods, services are miniscule, than it used to before Brexit, but the UK has its largest exports to the EU ever in the last Quarter. You are deeply confused by two separate matters, the second is that ALL importing nations everywhere require that there regulatory measures are met. That is part of the Terms of Trade and you confuse that with 'leverage' Tell me, pray explain why the biggest trading and investment partner of the UK is the US followed by rest of the World and the UK has a surplus with them all under WTO? Incidentally, you compound your ignorance of international trade with that of constitutional history and actual demographic movements within the British Isles. - Who do you think you are to claim you are speaking on behalf of 'the People of Britain' and what you allege their attitude is to NI and who are you to use vile, vicious and sectarian language to describe them as an 'extreme British Orange cult'? In fact most Irish people, RoI and NI, spend a major portion of their adult life in Britain, the RoI citizens have dual status within the UK,. What about if I called them "the Faiche Repoblichaine Plastic Paddy Green Erse Lickers of Brussels Cult in the 26 Counties" then? Bashing out their schmaltzy romantic songs about their victimhood narrative and drinking Guinness in pubs in Kilburn, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham? Ireland has not been 'united', if ever, and certainly not since 1922 when ever since it has taken every opportunity to move further away from the North.

  4398. Irish Unity - Not inevitable now, not been possible since 2021 when the Kaiser's agents decided to have two civil wars, first against Unionists and secondly against each other. Of course instead of really trying to promote 'unity' all you can do is push the vile Sectarian themes. If RoI is so wonderful why can't it commit to offering a 'unity' package to NI? Answer - can't afford it! Scotland and Northern Ireland receive the level of capitation from the UK Treasury required by legislation and UK Government ‘Capitation’ policy for Public Expenditure, especially the Social and Welfare Benefits System, that is to make up the shortfall from Local Revenue income. The RoI propaganda states that they are a dynamic economy but Paul Krugman, Economics Nobel Laureate described this as 'Leprechaun Economics'. No version of Irish GDP statistics give a meaningful account of Irish living standards as former Irish Central Bank chairman, Dr Patrick Honahan has admitted https://www.centralbank.ie/news/article/press-release-economic-letter-is-ireland-really-the-most-prosperous-country-in-europe-04-january-2021 ‘Is Ireland really the most prosperous country in Europe?’ in the Irish Central Bank’s journal ‘Economic Letters’. In brief he explains that Irish measures of GDP are hopelessly distorted and provide a poor guide to either the size of the Irish economy or the living standards of its citizens. In the case of Northern Ireland the comparator would be with the Republic. The RoI has a higher Cost of Living than NI because it is in the EUro (part of the idea of the RoI to create 'unity' rather than maintain Sterling status of the Punt) as well as higher House Prices - a measure of Debt, not Wealth. Wage Rates in the RoI are lower than in NI. Which means the Standard of Living in RoI is lower than NI. This was assessed at 20% difference - according to John Fitzgerald and Edgar Morgenroth of Trinity College and ESRI in Dublin, in their study of 2012 of these matters. These professors are rabid republican Europhiles. In 2016 they 'updated' this study by deciding that if the UK Capitation was excluded from PE in the North then it would be worse off and closer to the RoI. Well of course it would - but there is no UK government policy to slash the NI Capitation against the legal requirement of the expenditures authorised by statute ! The only way that the RoI could take in NI is if it maintained the UK Treasury capitation in NI and extended it to the 26 counties as well - it cannot afford to do so for NI and of course not itself either

  4401.  @grahamfleming8139  Utter and complete TWADDLE and the usual vile, sectarian 'victimhood narrative' completely contrary to the facts of history. Ireland was NOT united until the Norman-Irish Clan Leaders became Feu to the Norman Kings. During the course of its history it was riven with civil wars induced by the Popes and Bourbons to destabilise the Anglo-Irish establishment and the the United Kingdom of Scotland and England. Napoleon tried the same tricks through the fake 'united' Irishmen, in fact agents of another civil war - the same divide and rule he used in the rest of Europe, until defeated by the Irish General Wellington. Ireland became a representative democracy at the same time as the rest of the UK, the Irish Parliamentary Party forming coalitions with the Liberals in Victoria's reign, over represented in MP numbers in the Commons and peerage in the Lords compared to their electorates. The same voted for the same parties as in the rest of the UK were the elected Town and County councils in Ireland as everywhere, in the reformed local government and Parliamentary representation of the Georgian era. The Irish, LIKE the Scots were part of the united British imperial expansion. The OBSCENITY of so called 'Irish republicanism' actually agents of European imperialist interest who would certainly never have give 'Ireland' any form of representative government in any puppet state they promise to the fanatics, who were promoted by Napoleon III, supported the Boers and stabbed the Irish Regiments in the back in 1916 for the Kaiser - brave. Even when given independence they caused two civil wars, one against the Unionists and one against each other! But to make up for that, they were UNIQUELY the only Commonwealth nation not to declare war on the Third Reich, again 'brave'. Your typical IGNORANCE about the size of the RoI economy, Leprechaun Accountancy, based on Rainbows ending at the Blarney Stone. It's Standard of Living is 20% lower than the NI. Even the Head of the Irish Central bank admitted this. As for Scotlnd - the MAJORITY of Scots do NHOT want the fake independence that the SNP promote - so like the Faiche Repoblichaines of the RoI, a variant of Erse Licking of Brussels and Gaerlic Spewing Bile instead of actual policies.

  4625. Total Jerks - apologists for Globalism and anti-Democrats. Obscene. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  4644.  @reddragon3163  Most of what you write is contrary nonsense. UK is the BEST place to start an SME, especially in InfoTech, in Europe precisely because of the NO GROWTH-ANTI INOVATION price fixing EU regulatory regime. That was what my German colleagues clarified for me when they were setting up a 3D Printing business and asked me to become NED Regulatory Officer with a UK Listing. You expose yourself as an economic ignoramus by not knowing what a market is and then claiming the EU-SM is one. As for quoting-referring to an FT Video of selective interviews - well that is hardly evidence of anything. The fact that the UK's exports to the EU in the last quarter were the highest ever and that UK imports from the EU are in being substituted by better price-value alternative sources contradicts most of your special pleading and ramblings. Both the Guardian and the FT led these facts in their stories as "UK-EU TRADE IN DECLINE'..' But to say in effect that UK inflation is bad but EU inflation is not problematic is frankly delusional.. You make no attempt to actually engage with the issues as I explained them except as special pleading for the EU.. The only problem we have with Brexit is that the entire UK Political and Administrative Establishment are hell bent in setting aside the People's Vote and keeping us as closely aligned with the EU as possible despite that the EU is of no benefit to the UK. It has never been about trade, it is about social control by an unaccountable and irresponsible bureaucracy, we now have that infection here by the coup of #unt and Sunak-Empty Suit. 21 Tadpoles plus Six big players is not a recipe for anything other than severe social dislocation- like the Demographic Collapse of the Balkans and Baltic states. The effects on the working class in this country with the influx of cheap legal labour has been disastrous.

  4703. What is this? TRUMP was the most successful President since Teddy Roosevelt. 1: The Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Act, signed into law by President Trump, focused on increasing the role of women in the STEM fields. The Act compels NASA actively to promote STEM subjects to women and girls and encourages women to pursue careers in aerospace. Currently, only one in four women who receive a STEM degree ends up working in a STEM field. 2: The Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act was signed by President Trump in 2017 and authorises the National Science Foundation to support entrepreneurial programmes aimed at women. The Act encourages women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world. 3: The Administration helped launch the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative which is set to release more than $1billion for women entrepreneurs. 4: In February 2019, the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative was launched by the President. The initiative intends to reach 50million women in the developing world by 2025. The goal of the initiative is to provide ‘women with quality education, training, and support, so they can secure and thrive in well-paying jobs in their local economies’. 5: One of President Trump’s early executive orders dealt with the re-establishment of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The President moved the initiative from the Department of Education to the Executive Office of the President and appropriated $360million to historically black institutions, a record amount. 6: The opioid crisis was declared a public health emergency in October 2017. The Trump administration has secured $6billion to fight opioid abuse; $2billion has been provided in grants to help States, territories, tribes, and local communities prevent and treat opioid abuse. 7: A year after declaring the public health emergency the President signed into law The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. The Act makes addiction treatment a priority, prevents overprescription and trains law enforcement officers to intercept shipments, which has led to the first indictments against Chinese nationals for fentanyl trafficking. 8: President Trump has ended the gag clauses that stopped pharmacists from informing patients about lower drug prices. 9: President Trump’s blueprint to lower drug prices has led more than a dozen drug manufactures to enact price freezes, rollbacks, or reductions. 10: In 2018, the FDA approved a record number of generic drugs which will lead to savings of $9billion for American patients. 11: ‘Right to Try’ legislation has expanded access to experimental treatments for terminally ill patients. This provides new treatment opportunities for patients who have tried all existing options. 12: An executive order passed in 2017 bans colleges and universities from receiving federal research grants if they fail to promote free speech. 13: The Department of Justice has received nearly $100million in grant funding to hire additional law enforcement officers. 14: President Trump’s policy of cracking down on the international crime gang MS-13 is starting to bear fruit. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations arrested nearly 800 MS-13 members in the fiscal year 2017, an 83 per cent increase on the previous year. 15: ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 158,581 aliens in the fiscal year 2018, an 11 per cent increase on the previous year. Ninety per cent of those arrested had criminal convictions, pending charges, or had been issued final orders of removal. 16: Removal of convicted criminal aliens increased by 14 per cent from 2017. 17: President Trump launched the office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE). The office’s mission is to ‘provide proactive, timely, adequate, and professional services to victims of crimes committed by removable aliens’. 18: The First Step Act is designed to boost prisoner rehabilitation and create a fairer sentencing system. Crack cocaine is a drug predominantly used in poor black communities; crimes related to crack cocaine carry sentences 18 months longer than crimes related to powder cocaine. More than 500 people with unfair sentences have been released from prison. 19: The Act also expands training programs to reduce recidivism. 20: The fight against ISIS is all but over. President Trump gave military commanders the authority to attack ISIS and this has led to ISIS losing nearly all of its territory, with more than half being liberated since President Trump took office. 21: All of ISIS’s territory in Iraq was liberated. 22: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 saw the largest military pay rise in nearly a decade. 23: The creation of a US Space Force is a much-needed initiative to catch up with Russia and China’s anti-satellite weapons. Ninety-five per cent of Space Force’s budget will come from funds transferred from other areas of the military, with only an additional annual increase of $500million (0.07 per cent of the Department of Defense budget). 24: Just as only Nixon could go to China, only Trump could meet Kim. Prior to the historic summit with Chairman Kim Jong-Un, the Trump administration obtained the release of three American hostages. 25: ‘Jaw-jaw is always better than war-war’: President Trump’s meeting with Chairman Kim has made a lasting peace more likely on the peninsula. 26: The Trump administration has closed two Russian compounds and expelled 35 diplomats in response to Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. 27: The administration also imposed sanctions against Russian agents for their efforts to cause harm to US cybersecurity. 28: The VA Mission Act has allowed eligible veterans to have access to walk-in community clinics that offer immediate, local care. The Department of Veterans Affairs has received a record $73.1billion in funding. This funding included $8.6billion for mental health services, $400million for opioid abuse prevention, and $206million for suicide prevention. 29: President Trump implemented a five-year ban on lobbying for White House employees and a lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign countries. 30: The President donates his salary to charity. There seems to be a lack of knowledge about the President’s time in office; I hope this list has gone some way to start a sensible dialogue about his achievements.

  4788. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  5008. For the idiots who are pro-EU and Rejoin here let me explain how these laws, regulations and directives came into effect - there was certainly NO democratic process or scrutiny:- HOW EU DOES LEGISLATION I think the EU-SSR is a Frankenstein Monster - beyond the control of the Big Six - even Germany. A perusal of the administrative arrangements shows how the Qualified Majority Vote (ie a Vote weighted towards the tadpole Nations - 21 of them) is manipulated by the Commission through the use of Bribes (sorry I meant to use the technical expression 'Development Grants') and 'the Union Policies' represented by the Commission as Agreed, before any actual discussion:- 1) Treaties and other Formal Documents Agreed in general principle based on the Treaty of Rome ‘general principles and Monet Declaration'; 2) EUroCommission 'tasked' with implementation policy - these are sent to the EUroCouncil of Ministers for 'approval' (with the explanation the Council cannot overturn what is in the Treaties and FDs - see 1)); 3) A Committee of the Commissioners, the 'Committee of the Permanent Representatives' plus members of the Council, plus representatives of the EUroParl hold a meeting 'The Trialogues' to detail the Legislation to put forward to the EUroParl with the rider that the Council has Approved the intentions - (see 2)); 4) The EUroParl accepts the draft Legislation - the EUro Commission President tells them to Accept it because of 1), 2) and 3). The EUroParl passes it. 5) The Legislation directly applies to the individual Nations and is applied without debate or amendment as their own Laws and Directives. If anybody objects they are referred to 1 to 4. 6) After this they are put into the National States legal framework as over-riding its own law making process. Now give a single example of when points 1 to 6 were halted?

  5016.  @juliegregory3900  Now let me explain your ignorance, dogma an dbrainwashing:- 1) The 'loss of trade' is entirely due to the UK reducing its imports from the EU, yes a decline in trade with the EU to the UK's advantage by reducing the deficit and substituting better value from elsewhere. That is not a loss of UK exports to the EU, no change in fact higher than ever. 2) The UK is still the employment destination of choice for EU nationals, we have the largest EU expat population of any European nation. Nor need any of these people have returned home, if they did, as opposed to the insanity of the EU promoted Vax mandates. 3) Hospitality industry was the same, covid not Brexit. People could not move as they used to. However, I have noticed no decline in hospitality staff in London, in fact most of them are so young they came after the EU-UK 'deal'. So not true again. 4) The same again with slauhgter houses and food picking. 'According to our farmers' you mean the subsidised non-producing land owners like Heseltine and the likes of Sainsburys. BUT THE SCENARIO you outlined existed ONLY in the imagination of the BBC and Guardian. Just like the so called crisis at Dover, which is due to .. the EU not abiding by their obligations. I wonder why we can't increase wages to give our own people work instead, but of course the destruction of working class living standards through the Fake 'Freedom of Movement' principle, which works ONLY from the EU into the UK an dnot vide versa is the most obscene of all EU policies. "If we leave the EU who will serve my coffee' or clean your bathroom. 5) Whatever the details of the Australia deal, you fanatics had no problem with the anti-UK agribusiness policies of the EU CAP, pay for non-production, which were anti-competitive, yet do against Australia which can under cut the EU price fixing system of the SM-CU. Still with the closing down of the Dutch agribusiness even the EU shall need to get the produce from elsewhere. 6) You are clearly unaware that the EU cannot negotiate deals which are designed for the benefit of all members and there is no way the EU can join the CPTPP. A few bilateral deals, the one with Japan has a 'implementation tail' of at least 12 years, the UK joining CPTPP gets it fully straight away. You also appear wholly ignorant of the distrust the rest of the World has in the EU fulfilling its obligations under agreements - you presumably have blanked out the Mercasur meat deal of some years ago which the EU reneged on. Of course you fanatics claimed the UK would be shunned by other nations, when in fact the UK is the ONLY non-regional nation INVITED to join this. This has become the World's largest trading association because the UK joined it, ie Japan as World 2nd economy with UK as 5th. The EU has lost 20% of its value and its second largest European domestic market after Leave. Also 19 of the 27 members combined barely equal the UK GDP but they actually do not trade with each other at all, their main export is people and their main income repatriated earnings from the .. well the UK. 7) I have dealt with the so called 'fraction of trade' with the EU which has declined due to the UK now importing better value substitutes from elsewhere, the entire UK Trade Surpluses come from non-EU under WTO. The UK will eventually run a surplus with the EU, NOTHING has been lost in value by leaving this racket.

  5024.  @charmainelamont2020  You have provided exactly the arguments I expect you to do as a economic ignoramus and catspaw of the SNP: The current account for Scotland since at least 1950 is in arears. Your figures are pure invention. There is NO proportional GDP in Scotland to make a surplus contribution as you invent. Why do we know this? Well because there was no move to Scottish independence until the early 2000s and the Labour Party which ran Scotland in most local authorities and provided most MPs NEVER made any demands for a return based on that argument, the demands were made only on need for 'special circumstances'. The Barnet Formula was created to take account of the regional disparities and these 'special circumstances' built into the annual and five yearly PE budgets to avoid having to continuously go through these assessment exercises repeatedly. It was created by the Labour Government under Wilson and Joel Barnett (as the CST to Jenkins) as a proportional exercise to 'reward' the heavily Labour voting Scotland and Wales. These figures are never used publicly by the SNP but only promoted among its members. No 'money' from Scotland has been 'left at Westminster'. Standard & Poor's rating for Scotland is nothing to do with the 'economy' of itself and it has no independent borrowing powers. In fact its Banks had to be nationalised in 2008. There is no S&P AAA rating for 'Scotland'. Scotland's 'wealth' is a proportion of its UK GDP PC which ignores the gigantic Treasury subsidy. The McCrone report was NOT commissioned by the 'Westminster Government '(this is now SNP 'sanitised ' New Speak for 'England' without mentioning 'UK') it was invented by pro-SNP-Independence third rate academics to say what was expected but based on Scotch mist. Again, the SNP NEVER use these arguments in public but only to their members. The Scottish economy cannot sustain any independent currency with parity to Sterling, let alone the Norwegian, OTHERWISE IF TRUE then Sturgeon and Co would announce that indeed the 'Monetised Haggis' was to be the new currency on independence , indeed they could create a shadow unit now and tell everyone this was the preparation period. Healey said nothing of the kind in 2013 at which time he was 96. As to Scotland paying 'its fair share' so does everybody else because we have national tax rates, I pay my fair share and so does everybody else. That does not mean 'Scotland pays its own expenditure' as you pretend to imply. The figure of £1Trillion represents what 'financial assets' precisely? You have no actual practical measure to make sense of this. Scotland's GDP PC is not as big as France and none of your quotes mean anything without proof. If any of this was true in context then the SNP would be arguing it for an immediate Referendum. The quotes from the FT are it quoting SNP and pro-Indy commentators. The quotes from the other two organisations are Scottish Independence pressure groups paid for by Holyrood. THE FACTS:- Scotland’s deficit between money spent and income raised has more than doubled in 2020/21 to £36.3 billion. Almost as much as the entire Holyrood budget. This represents a deficit of 22.4% of GDP for the year – up from 8.8% in 2019/20. By comparison, the UK’s national figure hit 14.5%. Scotland’s 22.4% stands in contrast to the 10.4% after the financial crash in 2009/10. However, the UK Treasury finances its obligations using Low Interest Long term Debt which are Ten Year Bonds at 0.26% and most of these borrowings were made to refinance higher rate debt redemption, the UK Treasury 'owes' most of is debt in effect to itself. This is another UK Treasury subsidy the Scottish debt and deficit is supported by. An independent Scotland would have to offer Italian rates of of 17% and it cannot sell them as this would mean the Italians cannot afford to service them. Certainly Scotland cannot.

  5034.  @Alexander-vo4gv  I am talking about they have no idea how to use these assets - even if they worked, they don't. And they don't have either of those things - so you fall for propaganda. Let me now educate you in the operational history of the PLA:- 1) The last major war, ie involving Western forces, it fought was Korea. This involved the 'Human Waves' tactic to push back to conclude it with the original border being agreed for ceasefire. The MIG 15s there were manned by Soviet pilots. 2) marching into Tibet, a nation with no army, or Xinkiang which had a population smaller than Peking and largely nomadic is hardly an indication of military prowess. 3) There were a series of border skirmishes in the Himalayas with India, in the late 1960s, over a few ridges which was something to do with internal politics among the CCP . The Indian armed forces are the most experienced in Southern and South East Asia, having fought and won four wars against Pakistan in land, sea and air campaigns. 4) In 1979 China invaded Northern Vietnam, this was in support of the Khmer Rouge which the Vietnamese had invaded and taken over. The PLA was surrounded, destroyd and withdrew after claiming 'victory' . This victory seems not to have stopped the occupation of Cambodia, maybe it referred to Vietnam forces not marching in to take over southern China! And ... erm that is it with the PLA ! No modern combined arms experience in almost 45 years. Any invasion of Taiwan would end in humiliation in the Straight and the overthrow of Xi by his enemies.

  5103. OPTIMISM - for increasing taxes to pay for Wars and Vanity Projects and telling us to eat insects! Sunak-Empty Suit another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. At least 200 careerist Tory MPs are pro-Sunak-Empty Suit, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently.

  5192.  @ivan-Croatian  No - certain people used that epithet but it bore no relation to the status of the UK's economy which was transitioning from a low value manufacturing base to that of high added value services. The UK joined the EEC our politicians told us that it was just about trade. The UK always traded at a deficit with EEC and then the EU because of the Customs Union. The UK always traded at a surplus with non-EU nations under WTO rules. There was no point of being in the EU for trade, membership was something politicians and bureaucrats preferred but the people did not as they woke up to the reality of the EU's democratic deficit. The UK has the Fifth largest economy by GDP-N according to the World Bank, IMF and WTO. these bodies expect to surpass that of Germany which is reliant on the EUro to subsidise its manufacturing base, in effect a devalued currency unrepresentative of its economy. France is in permanent popular revolt, something you never see in the UK. Italy's economy has been in stasis since the EUro was introduced. Italy and Spain have structural unemployment, pre-covid' of 20%, UK has full employment. Greece is in permanent bankruptcy measures under ECB-IMF . The Baltics and Bulgaria are in demographic decline, losing an average of 16% of their populations since joining. NINETEEN of the other members economies added together just equal UK GDP-N but they do not trade at a fraction of the volume of the UK with each other, or with the Big Six either. The EU does not look very healthy at all. Did you know most EU people think that too as the UK has some 6.5million EU nationals with permanent residency rights, the largest ex-pat population in Europe.

  5325. Sunak-Empty Suit another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. At least 200 careerist Tory MPs are pro-Sunak-Empty Suit, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there.

  5512.  @jacquelinebrunder2384  Brainwashed ignorant twaddle:- THIRTY ACHIEVEMENTS There seems to be a lack of knowledge about President Trump’s time in office; I hope this list has gone some way to start a sensible dialogue about his achievements. 1: The Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Act, signed into law by President Trump, focused on increasing the role of women in the STEM fields. The Act compels NASA actively to promote STEM subjects to women and girls and encourages women to pursue careers in aerospace. Currently, only one in four women who receive a STEM degree ends up working in a STEM field. 2: The Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act was signed by President Trump in 2017 and authorises the National Science Foundation to support entrepreneurial programmes aimed at women. The Act encourages women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world. 3: The Administration helped launch the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative which is set to release more than $1billion for women entrepreneurs. 4: In February 2019, the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative was launched by the President. The initiative intends to reach 50million women in the developing world by 2025. The goal of the initiative is to provide ‘women with quality education, training, and support, so they can secure and thrive in well-paying jobs in their local economies’. 5: One of President Trump’s early executive orders dealt with the re-establishment of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The President moved the initiative from the Department of Education to the Executive Office of the President and appropriated $360million to historically black institutions, a record amount. 6: The opioid crisis was declared a public health emergency in October 2017. The Trump administration has secured $6billion to fight opioid abuse; $2billion has been provided in grants to help States, territories, tribes, and local communities prevent and treat opioid abuse. 7: A year after declaring the public health emergency the President signed into law The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. The Act makes addiction treatment a priority, prevents overprescription and trains law enforcement officers to intercept shipments, which has led to the first indictments against Chinese nationals for fentanyl trafficking. 8: President Trump has ended the gag clauses that stopped pharmacists from informing patients about lower drug prices. 9: President Trump’s blueprint to lower drug prices has led more than a dozen drug manufactures to enact price freezes, rollbacks, or reductions. 10: In 2018, the FDA approved a record number of generic drugs which will lead to savings of $9billion for American patients. 11: ‘Right to Try’ legislation has expanded access to experimental treatments for terminally ill patients. This provides new treatment opportunities for patients who have tried all existing options. 12: An executive order passed in 2017 bans colleges and universities from receiving federal research grants if they fail to promote free speech. 13: The Department of Justice has received nearly $100million in grant funding to hire additional law enforcement officers. 14: President Trump’s policy of cracking down on the international crime gang MS-13 is starting to bear fruit. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations arrested nearly 800 MS-13 members in the fiscal year 2017, an 83 per cent increase on the previous year. 15: ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 158,581 aliens in the fiscal year 2018, an 11 per cent increase on the previous year. Ninety per cent of those arrested had criminal convictions, pending charges, or had been issued final orders of removal. 16: Removal of convicted criminal aliens increased by 14 per cent from 2017. 17: President Trump launched the office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE). The office’s mission is to ‘provide proactive, timely, adequate, and professional services to victims of crimes committed by removable aliens’. 18: The First Step Act is designed to boost prisoner rehabilitation and create a fairer sentencing system. Crack cocaine is a drug predominantly used in poor black communities; crimes related to crack cocaine carry sentences 18 months longer than crimes related to powder cocaine. More than 500 people with unfair sentences have been released from prison. 19: The Act also expands training programs to reduce recidivism. 20: The fight against ISIS is all but over. President Trump gave military commanders the authority to attack ISIS and this has led to ISIS losing nearly all of its territory, with more than half being liberated since President Trump took office. 21: All of ISIS’s territory in Iraq was liberated. 22: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 saw the largest military pay rise in nearly a decade. 23: The creation of a US Space Force is a much-needed initiative to catch up with Russia and China’s anti-satellite weapons. Ninety-five per cent of Space Force’s budget will come from funds transferred from other areas of the military, with only an additional annual increase of $500million (0.07 per cent of the Department of Defense budget). 24: Just as only Nixon could go to China, only Trump could meet Kim. Prior to the historic summit with Chairman Kim Jong-Un, the Trump administration obtained the release of three American hostages. 25: ‘Jaw-jaw is always better than war-war’: President Trump’s meeting with Chairman Kim has made a lasting peace more likely on the peninsula. 26: The Trump administration has closed two Russian compounds and expelled 35 diplomats in response to Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. 27: The administration also imposed sanctions against Russian agents for their efforts to cause harm to US cybersecurity. 28: The VA Mission Act has allowed eligible veterans to have access to walk-in community clinics that offer immediate, local care. The Department of Veterans Affairs has received a record $73.1billion in funding. This funding included $8.6billion for mental health services, $400million for opioid abuse prevention, and $206million for suicide prevention. 29: President Trump implemented a five-year ban on lobbying for White House employees and a lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign countries. 30: The President donates his salary to charity.

  5560.  @Titus9508  You are completely ignorant of the entire period It is you that does not understand. . No decision was made in the British Parliament. The LoN Mandate adopted by the UN in 1945 was followed by the British and they then left. It is your sort of drivel being promoted that causes the problems. Nor do you speak for the Middle East, most of the nations in the region were created by Britain and France as part of the decolonisation of the Ottoman Empire and those borders are the ones followed by those nations. .Apart from Iran and its proxies, the terrorists of Hamas etc and the Syrian regime all of the nations in the region accept the peace treaties with Israel. But Twaddle peddlers like yourself believe the vile terrorist propaganda which cares nothing for the Gazans. There are 1.2 Billion M@zl1ms in the World living in millions of square miles of Africa and Asia. There are 15 million J6vvs of which 8 million live in Isr@el, which is the size of Wales or New Hampshire. Yet somehow Isr@el is the problem. In 1948 there were 120,000 Arabs in the Isr@el1 state and today 2 million, 20% of the population with the highest standard of living in the region as Isr@el1 citizens. Netanyahu was imprisoned by an Arab Isr@el1 judge. No land was 'stolen' by Isr@el, it was purchased from Arabs who were told by the Arab nations not to return after 1948. The buildings in Jerusalem from which Arabs were evicted as squatters recently were also purchased by Is@el1s from the Arab owners. Is@el1s settled in Gaza, having bought it from Arabs, were forcibly removed by the Is@el1 authorities in 2006 and compensation paid to them, the settlements were then given to the PA. So land legally bought in Gaza was given back for free to the PA., which destroyed the productive farms which had been left as 'symbols of occupation'. In 1948 there were 240,000 Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza. Today there are 4 million with the same third world standards as in the neighbouring Arab nations. . So this is 'genocide'? There are Arabs, M@zl1ms, Druze and Christians in Is@el. There are none of these minorities in Gaza and West Bank. So that is Apartheid. Indeed the Juvvish populations of the M@zl1m nations is numbered in just a few hundreds their having been persecuted by those governments and they left for elsewhere, mainly Isr@el. ..

  5704. There are 1.2 Billion M@zl1ms in the World living in millions of square miles of Africa and Asia. There are 15 million J6vvs of which 8 million live in Isr@el, which is the size of Wales or New Hampshire. Yet somehow Isr@el is the problem. In 1948 there were 120,000 Arabs in the Isr@el1 state and today 2 million, 20% of the population with the highest standard of living in the region as Isr@el1 citizens. Netanyahu was imprisoned by an Arab Isr@el1 judge. No land was 'stolen' by Is@el, it was purchased from Arabs who were told by the Arab nations not to return after 1948. The buildings in Jerusalem from which Arabs were evicted as squatters recently were also purchased by Is@el1s from the Arab owners. Is@el1s settled in Gaza, having bought it from Arabs, were forcibly removed by the Is@el1 authorities in 2006 and compensation paid to them, the settlements were then given to the PA. So land legally bought in Gaza was given back for free to the PA., which destroyed the productive farms which had been left as 'symbols of occupation'. In 1948 there were 240,000 Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza. Today there are 4 million with the same third world standards as in the neighbouring Arab nations. . So this is 'genocide'? There are Arabs, M@zl1ms, Druze and Christians in Is@el. There are none of these minorities in Gaza and West Bank. So that is Apartheid. Indeed the Juvvish populations of the M@zl1m nations is numbered in just a few hundreds their having been persecuted by those governments and they left for elsewhere, mainly Isr@el. .. TRUTH ABOUT GAZA Arab blogger, Hoda Jannat is shocked by what she has learned about Gaza since the beginning of the war. In a fearless post, she describes her revelations from the war process and exposes the comfortable life that Gaza residents and Hamas organization leaders have grown accustomed to, thanks to Israel's support. The post uncovers the hypocrisy of the Hamas organization by highlighting the actual conditions of Gazans prior to the war. Here is how she presents it: 1. in the Gaza Strip, where 2 million people live, there are 36 hospitals. There are Arab countries with a population of 30 million that do not have that many hospitals. 2. that Gaza receives free water, electricity, gas and fuel from Israel. Of course, there is not a single Arab citizen anywhere else who does not pay for water, electricity and fuel. 3. Gaza receives $30 million a month from Qatar alone. And $120 million a month from UNRWA; $50 million a month from the European Union and $30 million a month from the United States. There are Arab countries drowning in debt and they can't find anyone who can give them even a million dollars. 4. there was no "siege" in Gaza and all goods are flowing there and the borders are open. Gazans went to Egypt and from there to the whole world. 5. that people live better in Gaza than in many Arab countries. And its residents live much better than many Arab countries. 6. the minds of many Egyptians were programmed by the lies of the Muslim Brotherhood media. 7. that the children in Gaza are not children as we usually think, but children of terrorists with machine guns and suicide belts who have received special training from Hamas. 8. schools, hospitals and mosques in Gaza are organized terrorist barracks and ammunition depots with Hamas subway tunnels. 9. in Gaza there is a Hamas terrorist "subway" system stretching 500 kilometers that Israel can only envy ifit were a transport system. 10. Gaza's so-called doctors and teachers turned out to be active Hamas terrorists. 11. rockets and mortars are kept in the children's rooms of Gaza homes. 12. that Hitler and his book "Mein Kampf" are very popular in Gaza, and its Arabic translation was in almost every house in Gaza, or a portrait of the author. 13. Hamas leasders live a life of luxury, with multi-story mansions with swimming pools and top-of-the-line German automobiles. 14. there is no Israeli blockade on Gaza because it still borders its Muslim brother Egypt. 15. the majority of Gaza's "citizens" support Hamas and other terrorist groups, elected Hamas in democratic elections and celebrated the massacre on October 7. 16. that the so-called reporters and journalists in Gaza working for the Western media CNN, AP, Reuters and others turned out to be Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre on October 7. 17. that so-called 'peace activists' and 'international human rights organization workers' from the UN, Red Cross and WHO, turned out to be Hamas terrorists and corrupt. 18. that each of the main Hamas leaders is a multi-millionaire and richer than President Trump, with a net worth of between $4 and $5 billion each.

  5820.  @htlein  Do you get a special rate when sitting in the Barlaymont Basement Misinformation and Propaganda Unit on Sundays? 1) The EU member states have NO control over the Commission. 2) The EU is NOT representative , the only assembly that pretends to that is the Parliament which has NO status to contradict Legislation, the Council, the CoPeRes (look it up you ignoramus.) the ECJ or the Commission. Gisella Stuart MP, an Anglo-German national educate din Europe was sent as the U delegate to the 'Constitutional Drafting' meetings under D'Estang (eventually magicked up as the 'Lisbon Treaty') by Blair as a Pro -EU safe pair of hands - she came away so disillusioned this convinced her the EU had to be rolled back or the UK had to Leave, she chaired the Leave Campaign. 3) The 'rules ' are not discussed - if they were why is it the Commission tries to impose them on Germany, Poland and Hungary ? It is almost as if they were ever consulted in the first place as this came as a surprise to them. 4) Scratch a FANATIC and IDIOT like you reading the Commission handouts and you find that they - ie YOU - know nothing about the EU system at all. 5) NOW YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF FROM HOW THE COMMISSION RUNS EVERYTHING ON GLOBALIST PRINCIPLES :- A perusal of the administrative arrangements shows how the Qualified Majority Vote (ie a Vote weighted towards the tadpole Nations - 21 of them) is manipulated by the Commission through the use of Bribes (sorry I meant to use the technical expression 'Development Grants') and 'the Union Policies' represented by the Commission as Agreed, before any actual discussion:- 1) Treaties and other Formal Documents Agreed in general principle based on the Treaty of Rome ‘general principles and Monet Declaration; 2) EUroCommission 'tasked' with implementation policy - these are sent to the EUroCouncil of Ministers for 'approval' (with the explanation the Council cannot overturn what is in the Treaties and FDs - see 1)); 3) A Committee of the Commissioners, the 'Committee of the Permanent Representatives' plus members of the Council, plus representatives of the EUroParl hold a meeting 'The Trialogues' to detail the Legislation to put forward to the EUroParl with the rider that the Council has Approved the intentions - (see 2)); 4) The EUroParl accepts the draft Legislation - the EUro Commission President tells them to Accept it because of 1), 2) and 3). The EUroParl passes it. 5) The Legislation directly applies to the individual Nations and is applied without debate or amendment as their own Laws and Directives. If anybody objects they are referred to 1 to 4.

  6018. Sunak-Empty Suit another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. At least 200 careerist Tory MPs are pro-Sunak-Empty Suit, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there.

  6137. Sunak-Empty Suit another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. At least 200 careerist Tory MPs are pro-Sunak-Empty Suit, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Finacial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital UID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there.

  6174.  @mattsmith1859  What trash - all of these non-arguments were trotted out in 2016 and answered then. 1) Nobody has veto power of EU regulations - the system does not work like that and your ignorance of the EU structure is manifest in that statement. To my knowledge there has never been a UK 'veto' and all 'regulations' were pushed through by the Commission using QMV (look it up). 2) The UK only has to follow non-tariff restrictions on regulations - they are not 'standards' on Exports to the EU as indeed does everybody else. The UK follows US standards in exports to the US, Indian standards to India etc etc. As far as I am aware the UK is not a US State nor an Indian one either. 3) The UK does trade with the EU Single market IN FACT our exports to it have risen to record levels but EU imports into UK fallen as alternative sources of better value are substituted. The UK is the second largest domestic market in Europe. Of course you brainwashed fanatics describe this as a 'decline in UK-EU trade' is if it is somehow a negative for the UK. 4) Freedom of Movement - you mean that the UK is the LARGEST employment centre and domicile of EU nationals in Europe of course. Oddly this works one way ONLY., I have never met a waiter in a Rome restaurant from Newcastle and there are no Geordies forming 1005 of the Baristas in the Tallinn Kosta-Lotta Koffee bars. The UK is still the main destination for EU nationals to study outside their country in Europe. Again, very few UK nationals bother with the fourth rate universities of Europe - ohh except Zurich, sorry, not in EU is it! In my professional employment I never have a problem in employment in the EU, nor Malaysia or the USA for that matter. However, many UK nationals retire to EU nations, AND STILL DO SO as financially independent, unlike the low paid benefit supported EU Nationlas here.. 5) I have answered this at 4 - the UK and everybody else is having the same shortages - you being totally ignorant and brainwashed are completely unaware that Germany has a Lorry Driver -HGV shortage than the UK. 6) So NO BENEFITS TO UK NULL POINHTE TO EU! Did I mention you are ignorant, brainwashed and unaware of the FACTS.

  6214.  @pwimbledon  Waffle - the under qualified GCSE's are running the country - they are at the Treasury under #unt and understand nothing about economics. The Tax Cuts were to be modest and to set aside Sunak's INSANE tax proposals when he and then Johnson left office. The proposal by Truss-Kwartang was NOT to increase taxes. Only reason we have this High Tax policy is because the GDP-Debt Ratio of the Maastricht Treaty Convergence Rules are still being followed. Brown decided in 1997 that Sterling would not converge with the Euro. This is the usual pro-EU treasury and Establishment position of rejoining the EU. The UK's debt being bought by investors is because the UK is a safe haven, they actually have a lower interest rate than inflation. In effect the UK is being paid to hold their money. The fact is that Interest rates on UK borrowing is low because most of the high interest bonds were refactored so owned by the Treasury. I can assure you there is no term such as 'humungous' in any branch or theory of economics. What is necessary is to manage the deficit and debt repayment system. A growth plan allowing people to spend their own money, rather than Treasury bureaucrats taking your income and spending it on pet projects is INFLATION inducing and inimical to growth. The Treasury argue , as does #unt, that increasing the number of international poor immigrants somehow increases GDP even through it reduces the working classes wage levels. So less of your third rate Pre School Economic Theory.

  6390.  @wundurra24  The chaos and criminality was deliberately encouraged by Democrat local politicians refusing to police the activities of the so called 'Anti-Fa and BLM' rioters and actively encouraging them.. It did not occur in Republican areas. Give an example of your allegation of 'pandemic mismanagement' which was not repeated anywhere else in the World and also who else blamed the CCP for creating it? Trump left most of the lockdown decisions to the States. His other evaluations of the Scamdemic have proven true - not a genius, I have been saying the same since the beginning. Anti-Big Pharma was on eo fhis themes - hope you have the jabs and are feeling better? As for 'buffoonery' - well explain this then: Trump created more employment in the US than for decades. Trump repatriated US corporate jobs back to the US. Trump made US corporations increase the pay of car workers etc in Mexico Trump penalised the CCP for dumping and for manipulating the R-Yuan to gain trading advantages. Trump got Kim to halt his missile-nuclear programme and actually went and talked to him, never done before. Trump increased Military spending for the US arsenal. Trump negotiated an honorouble withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump refused to attack Iran over a minor incident, but he also prosecuted the sanctions against its nuclear ambitions - something Obama-Biden encouraged the Mullahs to pursue. Trump warned the EUropeans to reduce their reliance on Putin-Russian fuels. Trump told the Europeans that they had to increase their defence budgets. Trump, through the Abraham Accords, was Nominated by six Heads of Government for three Nobel Peace Prizes for his efforts. Furthermore, Trump got a larger number of Latino and Black voters as well as White working class supporters and Women than any previous Republican candidate and the largest vote ever for an incumbent candidate and carried more counties than any other candidate including Biden in 2020. Any more propagandist lies you want to promote in favour of Biden's 'successes'?

  6462. Why is this imbecile being interviewed? H eis a EU fanatic and Anti-Trump. The UK has NEVER been aligned in policy with Europe. For all of my life - I am over 70 - the UK had been described as 51st State! As for the US taking 'more notice of Ireland' ths si untrue - The 'Oirishism' of Democrat politicians is a pose for a margin of votes in the North East States. RoI has neglable trade with the US and is not in NATO. Actually it would be a good idea to be 51st State - the UK would have the largest presence in the House, plus two Senators, perhaps eight if we joined as four states, and would have the largest Electoral College Vote, thereby guaranteeing pro-British presidents. 1) The UK has a trade advantage with the US. That is why the US Dept of Trade and Congress do not want any trade deal. 2) The UK is the largest investor in the US and this is reciprocated in the UK. 3) The UK and US share foreign policy aims. 4) The 'special relationship' with the US is in Nuclear arsenals, military basing and intelligence sharing ie GCHQ-Five Eyes. That is the geo politics. The rest is cultural. 5) All Americans I know, Dem or Rep are Anglophiles, they are all establishment types, Ivy League, Oxford- Rhodes. He presumably only knows Guardian reading-WaPo and NYT readers, guess what, they hate Americans too!. 6) This guy says 'outside London' the UK has an economy the size of Mississippi; has he been there? NOT TRUE - he is inventing a general statistic - the GDP of rest of UK is not lower than Mississippi. The 'Median income spread over its 3 miilion inhabitants is just $45.500 (take out the capital metro of Jackson of 600,000 and it is even less. The UK's is GDP PC £56,000 for 67.5million people. That simple arithmetic shows he is being selective, indeed inventive!. 7) What is the disadvantage to the UK in its realtionship with the US.

  6489.  @drdecco1  Myth not reality , I am more Irish Catholic than Biden incidentally, - all part of the victimhood narrative of the Faiche Repoblichaine fascist movement. The summary executions and disappearance of Irish Unionists and government officials, the murder of RIC members, the 'stab in the back' in 1916 'uprising spasm'. You think that uniquely in the UK everybody was sitting around drinking tea and suddenly somebody said 'let's go after the Irish' by using the Irish ? Most of the units were Irish, but of course as ultra-sectarian fanatics these people (and I suspect yourself) will not allow people to be 'Irish' unless they sign up to the false ideology of 'anti-Britishness' ie in being Unionists. Just what was it that the IRA-IRB, or whatever these fanatical terrorists' designation was at any time, claimed to be 'fighting' for? The constitutionalist Irish Nationalist party was in elected control of most of the local councils, the majority of the Parliamentary Seats - they even held one in Liverpool - and were having a rational negotiation about 'home rule' with Lloyd George and the Coalition when their pretend campaign for liberation was undertaken. What did it result in - the ultra sectarian First Civil War, which resulted in 'Home Rule' that was already on offer and to celebrate their 'victory' in that they held another Civil War with each other. But the icing on the cake, yet more terrorist outrages across Ireland and the UK off and on for the next 70 years , including an alliance with the Nazis against the 'Brits'' and actually against De Valera too. There could have been a 'United Ireland' from 1922 until today like there had been for centuries before, United Under The Crown.

  6532. SunakEmpty suit cannot 'level' with the public as he claims he beleives the opposite of what he does- He claims he was anti-Lockdown yet wasted a fortune on it. He claims he was for Brexit but has just scrapped the enabling act to allow Ministers to vary the EU legislation which means Civil Servants will keep us as close to the EU as possible. He claimed he was pro-Fracking and has now banned it. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing.

  6685.  @paulfenton7776  The usual lies and rubbish, you make it up as you go along. Do you get paid by the Misinformation Unit in the Barlaymont ? The only stupid mistake the UK made was joining the EEC in the first place and as a Labour activist in the 1970s (along with Foot, Benn and Shore) we warned of the dangers of the Rome Treaty. We lost the argument 2 to 1 then. After 40 years we won the argument by the largest vote for anything in British history. The EU and US are not 'working' on anything. The EU - and you pro-EU fanatics, claim that the US has 'lower standards' especially in its competitive agri-produce. What sort of 'negotiation' can be held on that basis? This was the LIE you people promoted about the UK and US agreeing food imports. The EU is protectionist and inefficient except for Holland which i now being closed down for insane Net Zero reasons. The UK is the US's largest European and mutual Investing partner. So the UK is already ahead of the EU. You are not aware that Canada only entered into an agreement with the EU to get easier access to its largest European market, the UK! More LIES about UK being 'bullied' into agreements with Aus NZ, these were not 'unfavourable' at all, the UK agri-sector had been hollowed out by EU-CAP rules , still followed by DEFRA because they want to Rejoin. There was never any complaint from the UK farming interests about the way they were disadvantaged by EU price fixing and 'standards' , ie anti-competitive regulatory measures, in the EU and policies that stopped UK farming from exporting to alternative markets because of those policies and trade barriers. Basically, 'free EU 'single market' competition for UK is 'good' but with anybody else 'bad'. In fact the SM is intended to be anti-competitive. The EU is the biggest trade bully in the metropolitan nations, especially within the EU. There is no 'high table' of the EU because it is run by an incompetent anti-democratic bureaucracy, and the EU is NOT the biggest trading anything,. By 'Trade Bloc' - you mean it is a 'Block On Trade' and the UK reduced it by 20%. the UK has had no overall loss in value of exports to it, the recent 'decline in trade' is that we no longer import as much from it. Some 19 of the members states only just equal the UK GDP but they do not actually trade to the same level within the EU as the UK does. There main export is their people and main import repatriated wages to from actually the UK!. You may not have noticed but the UK as the Fifth largest economy has just joined by invitation', the largest trading association in the World, the CPTPP, because the UK economy makes it so as second largest member only to Japan. This will create by the US joining the very 'deal' that you claim is either inimical to the UK or better if the EU is involved. Perhaps you should see a psychoanalyst to find out how you can entertain permanent anti-British double-think on these matters. .

God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. At least 200 careerist Tory MPs are pro-Sunak-Empty Suit, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there.

  6748.  @patarciepaul  What complete drivel and nonsense uttered by somebody whose knowl;edge of trade is non-existent. . The 'gravity model' of nearness is a fiction. If it was true you cannot explain why the UK consistently ran a deficit with the EU in its so called 'Single Market' yet ran a Surplus with Worldwide non-EU on WTO Rules over the entire period of EU membership. You also seem unaware that the UK's decline in imports from the EU is solely due to alternatives of better value from much further away. What is more the EU knows this, otherwise it would not bother with its Customs Union and Single Market model which was created solely as a BARRIER TO IMPORTS FROM OUTSIDE OF it. The UK does more trade with India than RoI , you are deeply confused about that, there is not even a fraction of Imp-Exps with the 26 Counties and NI does none at all with it. Again you are very confused as to RoI stats. Let me explain, all RoI stats are fictions based on money transfers and NOTHING to do with trading of goods. Again, you understand nothing about JIT logistics. You produce these phrases and have no idea of their content. Do you actually comprehend what the meaning of 'chain' is? Do you understand the concept of 'timing'? Of course not because you think that the decline in imports from the EU somehow worsens the UK's trade. In words of one syllable and simple arithmetic ... International Trade is Not a Zero Sum and the UK's trade with RoW is not an exclusive alternative to trading with the EU or the Isle of White for that matter.

  6751.  @mike747436  You are an IGNORAMUS who repeats the usual pro-EU garbage and you know nothing about international trade. There is NO Veracity n the 'gravity model' of trade , if that was so then there would have been no British, Dutch or French Empires across the globe and that China, Japan and Korea could not be the largest trading economies they are by just relying on their 'near neighbours'. You clearly know nothing of New Zealand Lamb and Dairy produce being a CHEAPER staple for British households before we joined the EEC. Indeed NZ has found major markets elsewhere in the World which are just as far from it as anywhere - eg Iran. and the simple proof of that is the EU itself has to expand trade beyond Europe The Trans-Pac. is is NOT about 'replacing' or 'compensating' for EU trade as being out of the EU has meant:- 1) UK still sells as much as it ever has in value and volume to the EU, which means there is NO point in being in it. 2) The UK imports less from the over-priced EU as being outside the Customs Union and Single Market means we can source better value from else where. Which means there is NO advantage to the UK being in the EU. 3) The EU cannot get the goods from the UK except from outside the EU, otherwise they already would do so. 4) The EU has therefore lost trade with the UK and shall continue to do so. 5) The UK therefore benefits in gross from these deals as both EXPANDIG sales beyond the EU and gaining better value form non EU sources.

  6863.  @duncmcinnes8569  You don't get anything about facts . The Scots voted for it because the Treasury was bankrupt as were most Scots because of the Darien Scheme, it wasn't just Dukes it was the entire financial system, just like RBS in 2008. Of course the Aliens Act was punitive, why should on enation give rights to another without any duties or obligations.? Scotland got the same number of seats as in the Edinburgh Parliament in Westminster and they got the same number of attending Lairds in the Lords as that were entitled to sit in Edinburgh too. Also senior Lairds could be elected to the Commons if over the quorum in the Lords, that's why the Earl of Ancram was a Minister in the Commons under Major and Tam Dalzell (Lord Binns0 was a Labour MP. The Scots were over represented in MPs as were the Irish when they joined. The 1707 arrangement was not a fair system and this changed in 1832 were the seats in 'rotten boroughs' were redistributed to the growing cities. So it was hardly fair to the English either. The various Municipal Corporations Acts, from 1835, also reformed the electoral systems in the towns to ordinary Scots benefit. I suggest you read proper history as opposed to facile propaganda. There was NO benefit to England taking on Scotland's debt. There was also the minor issue of the Bourbons pushing the Stuart cause through Scotland to consider in 1715 and 1745. So who was 'shafted'? Ohh - I see, the Scots had the Oil in 1707 and the English stole it. That sort of history!

  7098. The ONLY COALITION that will happen is NOT Lib-Lab but in fact Con-Lab to keep the Populists out. Look at Germany where all except AfD are in the Government. Reform UK is the only party who are electorally successful as when it was Brexit Party. Sunak-Empty Suit was Nominated by just 160 Tory MPs out of 368, he was rejected by his party members. He has NO legitimacy having got rid of Johnson and Truss and was rejected by his own party members. He is another Posh Boy like Cameron, smoothy chops with no depth. God Help us since 2010 two Etonians and a Wykhamist, what happened to meritocracy? The majority of Tory MPs are, pro-EU Rejoiners and Globalists who care nothing for their own party and hated Johnson for getting them elected on a 'Get Brexit Done' campaign. 1) Sunak's career in 'banking' was in fact as a placeman for his family's investments, not an 'investment manager'. 2) As Chief Secretary to the Treasury he was unaware of the UK liabilities in the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development HQ'd in London. 3) As Chancellor he followed the Treasury orthodoxy of adopting the Maastricht Treaty Euro Convergence Rules on Debt-GDP Ratios and adopting increased taxation into a Recession. 4) He was an enthusiast for the Lockdowns printing £450Bn to keep everybody at home. 5) Sunak did not take any advantage of the Brexit decision by relaxing EU rules on Financial Services. 6) His family are big investors in Digital ID investments owning a company with special patents. You can see which side of personal freedoms Sunak will fall on. 7) The man whose wife informed HMRC that she didn't have to pay UK taxes as she spent most of her time abroad and wasn't planning on settling here permanently. The man who held a green card so he could become an American domiciled throughout the period he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The man who owns a luxury mansion in California so he can retire there. 8) He claimed to be pro-Brexit, well he undoubtedly will keep EU policies in order to rejoin. 9) He claimed he was opposed to lockdowns yet was responsible for massive money printing to keep them going, paying people to do nothing. 10) He has abandoned the Brexit Implementation Bill, claiming he was a Brexiteer. He said he would protect the Defence Budget and cut it in real terms. 11) He said he supported Fracking and has now banned it.

  7135.  @Maryhadalam  Israel has had Peace treaties with most of the regional nations for decades, since it won the Yom Kippur War. The Iranian Theocratic Fanatical regime has spent a fortune trying to destabilise those nations and funds terrorist organisations within them. Part of this is the constant misrepresentation of Israel among ordinary Muslims, ignoring the fact that Juvvish populations of those countries were ethnically cleansed through legislation against them and expulsions. There are 1.2 Billion M@zl1ms in the World living in millions of square miles of Africa and Asia. There are 15 million J6vvs of which 8 million live in Isr@el, which is the size of Wales or New Hampshire. Yet somehow Isr@el is the problem. In 1948 there were 120,000 Arabs in the Isr@el1 state and today 2 million, 20% of the population with the highest standard of living in the region as Isr@el1 citizens. Netanyahu was imprisoned by an Arab Isr@el1 judge. No land was 'stolen' by Is@el, it was purchased from Arabs who were told by the Arab nations not to return after 1948. The buildings in Jerusalem from which Arabs were evicted as squatters recently were also purchased by Is@el1s from the Arab owners. Is@el1s settled in Gaza, having bought it from Arabs, were forcibly removed by the Is@el1 authorities in 2006 and compensation paid to them, the settlements were then given to the PA. So land legally bought in Gaza was given back for free to the PA. In 1948 there were 240,000 Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza. Today there are 4 million with the same third world standards as in the neighbouring Arab nations. . So this is 'genocide'? There are Arabs, M@zl1ms, Druze and Christians in Is@el. There are none of these minorities in Gaza and West Bank. So that is Apartheid. Indeed the Jewish populations of the M@zl1m nations is numbered in just a few hundreds their having been persecuted by those governments and they left for elsewhere, mainly Isr@el. ..

  7157.  @VincentRE79  WRONG - Sunak is already the MOST disastrous. the Money Printing is a useful tool in certain economic circumstances, counter cyclical spending as a multiplier effect. On Sunak's watch it increased exponentially and actually created the crisis itself - there was no economic malaise to be cured by this method when he introduced it. What happened under Sunak - the Treasury-EU-WEF puppet - is as follows:- 1) He agreed to the Lockdown and then the so called 'Furlough Scheme', which actually made the Lockdown popular with the Public Sector employees, who were the main recipients of Pay for No Work, who contributed to the 'popular view' it was a 'good thing'. This caused inflation in a Stagnant economy, in fact declining economy - ie Stagflation. 2) Sunak then created further Public Expenditure, Money Printing, by offering 'subsidies' to 'Eat Out'. People would have done so with their enforced savings from non-social activity during Lockdown. 3) On the relaxation from Lockdown there was a Recovery. By adopting Maastricht Euro Convergence Rules on Fiscal and Deficit Margins, irrelevant to UK economy-Sterling, Sunak announced NIC- Tax Increases during the Recovery, choking it off. The Deficit at that point could be managed and afforded through the increasing Tax Receipts for the Recovery and GDP expansion. The Sunak policy has caused Stagflation, Tax Increases are inflationary as central Public Expenditure reducing individual choice in the market. Tax Cuts allow boost to Recovery as discretionary, necessary private expenditure the market can react to as genuine demand. Frankly, as Badenoch and Truss have already laid this out as EU scheme we should scrap she has my vote.

  7329. There has been an awful lot of heat and noise, but very little light, as various politicians and pundits and other gravy-train riders reacted with predictable confected fury to the Government’s decision to scrap the northern leg of the HS2 train. One of the many complaints is that, if Britain is to be a modern economy, then we should have loads of high-speed trains just like France and Germany. Unfortunately, those making this argument seem to have forgotten what little they may have learnt in their O Level geography. Now let me explain why it is totally ludicrous to have high-speed trains in a tiny country like England. France is a big country – about 640,000 km². Germany is quite a big country too – 357,592 km². The U.K. is a small country – about 242,000 km². England is an even smaller country – 130,000 km². So, France is five times the size of England and Germany is almost three times as large as England. Both France and Germany have extensive high-speed rail networks. It makes sense to have high-speed trains in a large country. It doesn’t make sense to have high-speed trains in a small country. Now let’s go a bit deeper. The French train route from Paris to Lyon to Marseilles can probably be seen as comparable to the U.K. train route from London to Birmingham to Manchester in terms of how it connects major cities. But the differences in distances are huge. Paris to Lyon is 292 miles, whereas London to Birmingham is only 128 miles. And Lyon to Marseilles is 195 miles, whereas Birmingham to Manchester is a mere 86 miles. Or if we take Germany, the route from Berlin to Frankfurt to Munich could also be compared to HS2’s London to Birmingham to Manchester. The distance from Berlin to Frankfurt is 341 miles – much more than London to Birmingham’s 128 miles. And the distance from Frankfurt to Munich is 244 miles – considerably more than Birmingham to Manchester’s measly 86 miles. The much greater distances in France and Germany justify high-speed rail networks. But squandering over £100bn on cutting just a few minutes off the train time from London to Birmingham and then even fewer minutes off the train journey from Birmingham to Manchester is utterly ludicrous. And I won’t even mention the fact that HS2 might not even ever get to Euston station. There never was and never will be any need for a high-speed train network in England. The distances are simply too short. On the now-cancelled Birmingham to Manchester leg, the train would hardly have enough time to get up to speed before it had to slow down. Why the political, bureaucratic and engineering geniuses who planned the whole thing couldn’t see this more-than-minor geographical problem defeats me. This matters because building a high-speed line is much more expensive than building a traditional (say Intercity 125) line. The track has to be much higher specification to support the higher speeds and the line has to be much straighter than a conventional line meaning there is less flexibility to go round geographical hindrances like hills. So, if Britain really needed extra capacity on the London to Birmingham to Manchester route, we should have just built a much cheaper traditional rail line. Or even cheaper still, just upgraded all the signalling to allow more trains per hour on the existing track. One other argument for building HS2 that has surfaced more recently is that some people are now using the environemental excuse for the thing. They claim the line will provide more capacity for freight trains thus reducing the number of lorries on our roads and helping to ‘save the planet’. But if carrying freight is the priority, you don’t need a high-speed line or even an Intercity 125 line. Most freight doesn’t mind if the train travels at just 50 or 60 mph. I hate to be positive about any politician, but Sunak has made the right decision by scrapping the Birmingham to Manchester 86-mile section. I find it more than slightly surprising that during all the furious arguments about the decision nobody, as far as I know, has mentioned the utter stupidity of having high-speed trains in a tiny country like England. But maybe this is to be expected as we now live in an age of unreason where opinions matter much more than facts.

  7342.  @gemmag.2988  The problem with her is that she was born to a totally corrupt father - amoral. He of course 'fell off' his yacht named after her. Before reading my points below I just want to say I am in fact a member of the UK 'Friends of Israel'. However, it is my belief that Robert M who was a 'Ruthenian' who spoke a number of Slavic languages and was recruited into the SOE by its head Victor Rothschild for contacts he had in East Europe. His SOE contacts and perhaps Rothschild led him to become involved in the acquisition of the Messerschmidt 109s built in Czeckoslovakia and sent to form the Israel Air Force in the War of Independence of 1948. Clearly he had Soviet intelligence contacts to allow this. He then created a very good business model - he had Eastern European and Soviet academic journals translated into English and printed over there and sold them to Western university libraries at a handsome profit. Again this required extensive contacts in the Soviet system. I dwell on this because of Ghislaine and Epstein being rumored to have used their Trafficking and Procurement business to blackmail people. This is in fact the Soviet method known as 'Compromat'. However, as demonstrated Robert M had contacts in the Israeli intelligence system too. Frankly, Epstein came from nowhere and yet access to finance to set up his operations yet he had never been a big player on Wall Street, yet is described for his income purposes as a 'Finacial Advisor'. Ghislaine was allegedly left penniless along with her brothers Kevin and Ian (all Balliol too because Robert M had endowed a Fellowship there) after the death of the father and the discovery that his Mirror Newspapers empire had been embezzled and was bust. No money left, all the pension funds emptied out in 'share support' operations apparently. Yet Ghislaine then takes up with the 'penniless' Epstein and suddenly they are operating a 'Socialite' network at great cost and suddenly Epstein is said to be worth millions. Who was the handler and who the agent in the relationship? So was the family business a double agent spy and-or freelance espionage and blackmail operation? .

The UK Establishment do not want to leave the EU system - the vast majority of ALL Westminster MPs, all but a handful of the Lords, a all the Civil Servants at the top five levels.. There is NO need for the NIP at all, it was invented by the EU and the UK Establishment and Varadkar to keep the WHLOE of the UK in the EU system. The Backstop' NIP was insisted on by the Remainer Parliament of 2017-19 a a condition of giving Johnson a Dissolution. The EU Parliament and the Dail knew that the NIP and Border issue was irrelevant.

I am so happy that the Stormont Assembly is DEAD - that is the only good thing to come out of the NIP. But then you write utter twaddle about everything.

  7393. @Scott Smith Ignorant brainwashed buffoon repeating the same old same olds. 1) The EU is not so, the UK in 45 years always had a deficit with it which is now reducing to the UK's advantage. 2) The Atlantic trade is done at balance or usually a surplus under WTO rules. The US is also the UK's mutually largest investing partner. Canada negotiated the CAN-EU agreement to access its largest European market, the UK. 3) The reason the Congress and the US department of Trade-Commerce do not want deals in general is that as there is either balance or surplus with the UK this would work to the UK's advantage. It would also enable us to import better value agricultural items. But you probably believe in the 'standards' lies of the EU. 4) The UK 's agribusiness has been destroyed by the EU CAP policies of 'set aside' and the SM price fixing system. No screams about that when we were in the EU and of course DEFRA still follow those rules. So UK farming is distorted and uncompetitive because of that. How about them actually investing and producing. I cannot recollect any UK farmer complaining against NZ Lamb before we joined the EEC - strange that. 5) Indeed the DEFRA and other departments insisted on quotas in the roll over and new deals to keep the UK aligned to the EU CAP and gave additional quotas to the EU. Utter disgrace and to our consumers disadvantage. It did not help with the negotiations with the other countries, overall though the agreements are a better fit for the UK than the previous EU agreements. 6) More ignorant twaddle - there were NO 'EU subsidies' they all come from the UK Treasury and these have continued . 7) You understand nothing about Brexit and are even more ignorant about the EU. Mogg did not move anything to Dublin. Under EU rules of domestic fund management there has to be an EU registered office with representatives. That is all that happened. 8) Economic ignorance is your stock in trade. The lies of the BBC and Gaurdian are not facts - Germany's food inflation index is twice that of the UK; the OECD and WB both predicted in 2021 that the UK would between 2022 and 2026 have the best growth in the G7 except that there wo uld be a lag effect in 2023. This has been compounded by the Energy Price Crisis ACROSS EUROPE. The IMFexplained the reasons for this slow down and it did not say that Brext was a contributory factor. I have had enough of your blather.

  7646.  @martynblackburn9632  Utter twaddle You certainly are a fool - what you understand about international trade can be written on the back of a stamp and used for its usual purpose. Before retirement I was a Director of companies on the Frankfurt aM stock exchange. 1) The UK trades internationally and does not have to belong to the EU to do so. The US and China trade with the EU and are not members. 2) The UK is the largest trading partner of the US in Europe. Both nations are each others largest investing partners. 3) The EU acts in restraint of trade and is anti-consumerist with its anti-competitive price fixing system, the so called 'single market' . As the rest of the world trade expands the EU falls behind and so the UK needs to trade with the rest unconstrained by EU bureaucracy. 4) Since the UK was in the EU our exports to it have not changed, because these goods and services cannot be replicated within the EU. However, imports from it have declined, to UK's balance of payments benefit, as alternative better value sources have been substituted. 5) the UK is the largest recipient of rest of world investment in Europe. Current economic problems stem from the UK Political and Administrative Establishment slavishly following EU algnment in policies, especially the Maastricht rules on EUroZone debt-tax ratios convergence which the UK is not a member of. 6)The covid response from ALL political parties in Westmnster was insane and has led to major social and economic disruption.

  7762.  @phillipdavies9233  Utter trash and Soviet Propaganda. 1) The USA won the War against the Nazis and Imperial Japan - the USA provided immense war materiel support and food to the Soviets otherwise they would have been defeated and locked up in the East. 2) The Soviets were allies of the Nazis and divided Poland between them and Hitler. They then invaded the Baltic states and Finland, getting a bloody nose from the latter. 3) The Communists threw millions of lives away. They only fought on one Front, their own. Stalin tried to negotiate a separate peace at Kursk. They don't even designate as a 'Word War'. 4) The British and Commonwealth Forces were fighting the Nazis in the Balkans in 1941 and the Soviets did nothing about it - Brave! 5) The British and Commonwealth Forces defeated the Nazis - Axis in North Africa at the same time as the final assaults in Stalingrad. The fought 2,000 miles across desert. The Allies defeated the Axis in the Mediterrenean, sinking both the French, and Italian Fleets; they fought the Battle of the Atlantic, launched the Air War against the Axis destroying their War Effort in the East. The Western Allies then invaded Sicily and then Italy. 6) On 6th June 1944 the British and Commomwealth Forces with the US Forces arrived in Normandy. On that day the Soviets were still in their own territories. 7) What do you know about military tactics and the history of WW2 .to make such an asinine statement ? If Hitler did not invade the USSR then he would have lost the war in the West as well.

  7829.  @YUDNSAY  Johnson has even less say on Ukraine matters than those of the UK, which we find did not amount to much. What deal ? Donbas was shelled because there was a civil war going on, caused by Russian separatists armed by Putin. Some of the Ukrainians were militias with 'Nazi' style ethno-linguistic nationalistic attitudes and so were some of the Russians. The main organisation doing the shelling was the Ukrainian army. Putin on launching his annexation and invasion of the Donbas stated that Ukraine had no right to exist except as part of Russia, was that in the Minsk Accords? In fact you cannot demonstrate what you believe is in the Minsk Accords. The issue was that Putin wanted the Donbas to be split off and Ukraine Balkanised. Was that in the Minsk papers? Merkel says very little out loud and anybody can interpret what she says or more usually does not say, but there is NO formal treaty embodying the points that Putin claims were in it. However, there was no application for Ukraine to join NATO anyway. In fact NATO only had two members with a border with mainland Russia and that only from 2004, Latvia and Estonia. The Kaliningrad exclave has a border with Lithuania (also 2004) and with Poland, but that was before the Minsk meeting. A faction in Ukraine is anti-Russian and by default wanting to join the EU, Putin chose to believe that was a breach of the Minsk Accord, although in fact he did not claim this when taking over Crimea which was done to control Sebastapol and on the basis of his 'Nova Rossia rhetoric. Nor did Putin have any issue with Finland being in the EU. Furthermore Finland has joined NATO because of the Ukrainian invasion and I am not aware that Putin has made any remarks regarding that. We should not adopt any WHO suggestions it should have authority over UK public health. issues.

  7980.  @maxwild1212  The UK does not have to enact EU directives on anything it does not want to. The Treasury can drop Maastricht guidlines. the DERFRA can drop the CAP . The DoEnergy can adopt non-Eco Loon policies; the DTI can support UK industry and employment without reference to the Commission or ECB. It also means there is less wriggle room for UK civil servants and politicians to say "I agree, but this is now decided in Brussels" which actually means "Can't do anything about it , nor can you so buzz off.2. Of course, you are so IGNORANT, you understand none of these points. Do you want to discuss the economic stasis of the last 20 years plus since Italy and Spain's adoption of the EUro? Greece's permanent bankruptcy, or the Demographic Collapse of the Baltic and Balkans? Somehow these facts never cross your befuddled mind. The UK consumer already benefits from the removal of CET from non-EU sources - you clearly do not go to your local supermarket do you. Let us now deal with your manifest ignorance as outlined in your final sentences: 1) there was never any advantage to the UK and its people of being in the EU, its policies aimed at destruction of not just every nation state but especially British industry, commerce and manufacture and the Tobin tax proposals were aimed at destroying our Financial and Consulting Services sectors. 2) We always traded at a deficit in the so called 'Single Market' yet at a Surplus with non-EU under WTO. Freedom of Movement was a sham - it just meant Europeans came to the UK, some 6.5m being the largest EU expat permanent residents in Europe. 3) Brits have always retired to Europe and non-EU nations - notably, Spain, Portugal, Greece before they joined. The better healed to South France and Italy. Professionals like myself can still work in the EU - I am retired now - but in all my years in being in business in Europe I never met a British Barista in Vilnius or an English waiter in a restaurant in Rome. 4) Hardly any UK Students go and study in the third rate University Sector of 'EU'rope -not a single one in the World Top 20 (Zurich is so, but that is not EU), nope UK universities are the preferred choice in Europe and among non-Europeans too. The Erasmus Programme meant UK tax payers paid for their education too. 5) Don't give me the 'hearts and Flowers' and 'Peace ' Guff - the EEC and EU could not have got underway withotu the UK-US inspired NATO and all the new eastern bloc joined it before the EU. 6) I see you regard democratic choice in the largest electoral choice in British history and not a 'narrow victory, is a 'holy cow'. You condescending, supercilious h@£f vv!t. 7) Clearly you have NO legal knowledge at all, as the referendum arrangements were made under an Act of Parliament, the result was turned into a further Act, the Withdrawal Notice was another Act and the conjoint treaty with the EU was also approved by a a fourth Act. That is 'legal weight' and it was also in concordance with Art 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. It is fanatics like you who are ignorant of the reality of what the EU actually is that makes me proud that the BRITISH KNEW WHAT THEY VOTED FOR and it is not the make believe and fantasy of ignoramuses like you.

  8034.  @raypurchase801  I think I should be overwhelmingly nasty to frankly. It is no good trying to pretend to some advanced knowledge based on a supposition of something you think that you know post facto. This is the procedure of a faux intellectual. Let's take apart your last sentence 'Netanyahu/ Mossad must have known something was coming', yep, the blood curdling Hamas terrorists were plotting an outrage against Israel, who would have thought otherwise? The point was that this is against a background of constant rocket firing, infiltration of murder-suicide attacks across Israel at all times. What is more the leadership of Hamas and Jihadists scream a constant, daily diet of genocidal doomsday statements against Israel and Jews. Like so many of your kind, pretending to intellect, you seem unaware that if Israel did not want Gaza to exist it need not have withdrawn from there in 2006. The IDF was sent in to physically remove the Israeli settler who had bough the land from Arabs, they were paid compensation by Israel and the PA given the land for free. Israel does not need a reason to occupy Gaza as it had no intention of doing so from 2006. Israel did a deal of 'Land for Peace' with the PLO-Fatah and since then has had no peace. Indeed Hamas murdered the Al Fatah representatives in Gaza. You also seem to be unaware that the number of work permits issued to Gazans had increased over the last year, which Israel regards as a process of peaceful normalisation. Hamas does not do normal. In fact it was the process of normalisation and the extension of Trump's Abraham Accords to Saudi and Gulf States that set off the recent Hamas tactic of 'all or nothing' , being a death cult they prefer nothing. Israel did not cause thsi attack by ignorance which seems to be your inference. Its policy was to isolate Hamas and indeed the PA - PLO from the Arab nations, something that Jordan and Egypt fully support.

  8050.  @xiaoabrose  You don't understand the issues - then you write total nonsense. This is because you are pro-EU Remain. If you claim you do not understand it then you display total IGNORANCE of modern trade between metropolitan nations - I suggest you read the LINKS below. The real reason why you profess ignorance is because you do not want to know the answers. The EU may well be a trading bloc but it has the most comprehensive Trading Agreement it has ever entered into with a non-member state with the UK. This is because the UK has EXACTLY the same standards as the EU. Yet the EU pretends that a border across which a tiny fraction of UK-EU trade overwhelmingly of DECLARED goods are somehow likely to threaten the RoI and the EU by extension so called 'Single Market' (actually, the Price Fixing Protection Packet for Producers and Distributors Against Consumer Interests. ) . Northern Ireland did not want special status - it wanted neither the cake nor to eat it -- this was foisted onto them as a device to ensure the UK, not just NI, remained under Commission control by the May-Remainer Parliament of 2017-19 and embodied in both the Withdrawal Agreement and into the 'Deal for a Deal' that Johnson had to make to get a Dissolution in 2019.

  8136. Barnier suggests the UK would be 'welcome to rejoin EU'! The UK Establishment -especially the Tories with Sunak-Empty Suit want to rejoin EU. Why? So that they are beyond electoral and public responsibility and accountability and can point at the unelected irresponsible EU Commission "Not my stupid policy' the big boy did it and ran away". This is why he adopted the 'Windsor Framework' which extends NIP to the entire UK to keep us aligned to the EU. However, let's breakdown the reasons for Barnier's 'generous offer' made here:- 1) Barnier says the UK is 'welcome to Rejoin'. Why should that be? What advantage is there to the EU for the UK to rejoin it? Well, that the UK as the Fifth largest World GDP is actually the second largest domestic market in Europe. 2) Actually, when the UK was in the EU it was the largest export destination for all other members. The UK was 20% of EU GDP. Now that the UK has joined with Japan in the CPTPP that is now the largest World trading association. 3) By leaving the SM & CU the UK was more easily able to obtain imports of better value than it had from the EU. This is shown in what is said to be a 'decline in UK-EU trade' but in fact that is made up of reduced EU imports,; UK Exports to EU are largely the same, actually higher in the last quarter than ever because of energy-gas pricing. 4) Actually this also affects EU budgets additionally to the loss of UK membership fees, because the UK made the largest contribution to the Common External Tariff as we imported a higher proportion of non-EU goods than the others. 5) It is interesting that the UK remains the largest employment destination for EU nationals in Europe seven years after the Referendum. In recent weeks I have met Europeans both unqualified and highly qualified who have come here in the last few years since CV19. 6) It is also noteworthy that although France has a larger population than the UK it has fallen further behind the UK in its seventh place GDP. Also, the UK has narrowed the difference between itself and Germany's GDP in Fourth place with its even larger population.

Enda Kenny had no issue with Brexit and the GFA, he knew it was a technical issue and his Border Chief told the Dail so:- Top Irish official explains how border can work post-Brexit NIALL CODY IRISH REVENUE CHAIRMAN TO COMMITTEE OF THE DAIL 25 MAY 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGIHFkBW-LM “NO IRISH BORDER IS NECESSARY - SEE WHAT THE EU PARLIAMENT says on this:- 'Smart Border 2.0: Avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland for Customs control and the free movement of persons' http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2017/596828/IPOL_STU(2017)596828_EN.pdf” Now I wonder why Barmier did not mention this? ‘An Irish Nationalist Criticism of The Northern Ireland Protocol’ 26/03/2021 by Anthony Coughlan Emeritus Professor of Trinity College Dublin, https://briefingsforbritain.co.uk/an-irish-nationalist-criticism-of-the-northern-ireland-protocol/ Varadkar, the EUroCrat introduced by the Commission (and back again despite being rejected by t6he RoI electorate.) invented the the issues to keep the UK within the EU. The NIP is the 'Irish Backstop' invented by May and the Remainer Parliament of 2017-19. 'Brexit' if you mean the Referendum, did not kill the GFA , the SF did so over the Fuel Subsidy row. It was revived when SF rejoined the PSE; that was an interim partial and voluntary decision by the SF which was not structural to the GFA PSA. .The NIP was imposed over the PSA-PSE so that the DUP-Unionists refused to participate because it actually infringed the entire point of the GFA, which is consultation and mutual agreement of ALL parties in the PSA-PSE. The T&CA was mean to remove the need for the Backstop, the T&CA was not agreed until December 2020, the NIP was agreed and imposed by the Remainer Parliament of 2017-19 as a price of a Dissolution.

  8254.  @kevonslims7269  You live in a world of make believe. No - honestly, the Guardian writing its usual fantasies is not a brain drain. In fact I suggest the authors of this nonsense have brains full of the stuff that goes down drains. The biggest destination in Europe for professionally qualified people is the UK, before and after Brexit. The UK is the preferred European destination for the rest of the World's professionals. I note you do not proffer a single counterfactual argument apart from BLATHER. Farage did not say anything of the kind - reminds me of when the Guardian claimed that Farage had demanded that Brexit be stopped three weeks after the Referendum., BILGE. Same sort of BILGE as that London would cease to be the FS Centre of Europe, still won't happen. More in London FS that the EU added together . The EU is not in a position to let anything 'GO' of the UK, the 'GO' is their leading academics who 'GO' to the UK. There is no brain drain to the EU from the UK. A handful of EU funded academics have to return home because of their funding. That is not a drain. You are of course unaware that the EPA (look it up) was supposedly withdrawing from London and transferring to the EU; it is an EU body. Unfortunately, although the organisation moved, it transferred to the UK government its building and resources its scientists stayed in London and the EU had to try and rebuild it from scratch in Amsterdam. I have already covered the point TWICE that it is UK academic establishment that likes their expenses perqs jaunts to Europe, not for research but for the holiday. Also the 'Horizon' is promoted by the Civil Service as to why the UK should be 'more cooperative' with the EU, which is precisely why we should not. However, the T&CA bound the EU to co-operate with the UK in the Horizon programme. I am glad they have not, because it proves that the EU have breached their international obligations and a treaty commitment and therefore we should scrap the T&CA for their non-compliance. May I add that you are an ignorant brainwashed half wit .

  8256.  @gloin10  You waffle nonsense and do not even understand arithmetic! - You write exactly the same ignorant rubbish as in 2016! 1) of course the UK is the biggest 'beneficiary of Horizon Joint-EU/UK science3 - BECAUSE THE UK IS THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR YOU NUMPTY! There is no practical benefit to the UK maintaining its own research investments. Of course you do not understand that there are UK-European (NOT 'EU') programmes that work co-operatively, aerospace the most notable. There is No way scrapping the NIP can lead to a 'trade war', firstly because the UK is the second largest domestic market in Europe and the second largest European market for the EU. Secondly because even if the C&TA is scrapped, which has NOTHING to do with the NIP arrangements, then WTO obtains and this bans 'trade wars'. 3) Now you compound your drivelling idiocy by thinking that the UK does not benefit from WTO. A) The UK has never had a trade surplus with the EEC-EU (so much for 'mutually beneficial bloc!) but has more trade and at a Surplus with the rest of the World under WTO . B) WTO means that the T&CA current Quotas which safeguard non-competitive volumes against non-EU imports would be abolished to the detriment of EU exports to the UK. So WTO is EXACTLY the route . Why do we know so ? Well because the Remainer Parliament of 2017-19 insisted on the 'Deal for a Deal' rather than allowing a default 'No Deal/ WTO' as the price of giving Johnson a Dissolution and with the NIP keeping the UK aligned with the EU SM-ECJ.. Fantasy nonsense about NI and Scotland and the UK based on your blithering fake narrative. You know NOTHING of international trade, commerce or economics!

  8332.  @goodday512  You are BRAINWASHED, what was the 'catastrophe' you imagine? The catastrophe has been the Biden administration's inflationary economic stagnation-recession and military failures. Trump was the best President since the Roosevelts - Home Policy, Economic Policy and International Policies. He was responsible for bringing home jobs. He frightened China's Xi into stop dumping product and unfair currency manipulation. He increased employment levels among working class and blacks; he renegotiated the NAFTA to the fairer USMEXCAN arrangement, he even insisted on US companies in Mexico increasing the pay of their employees to purchasing parity with Americans. Trump was castigated for opposing the Big Pharma Lockdowns and proposing cheaper remedies for the so called 'Covid Pandemic'. All the correct policies as we knew at the time but the fanatics claimed the opposite - Trump was right. He opposed the Eco-Insanity by increasing US domestic energy production and distributiion, describing th e'enviiro-nazis for what they are, Cow Farts'. He crossed the border to meet Kim after belittling Kim as 'rocket man' for threatening Japan and Guam. He castigated the EUropeans for not spending enough on Defence for NATO and not to over rely on Putin-Russia for energy,;. They laughed at him; well they are not laughing now. He started NO foreign wars and tried to withdraw from armed confrontations of no benefit to anybody, eg Syria, he carried a big stick and destroyed a Russian air-base and found a resolution in Afghanistan with the NATO allies. He imposed sanctions on the Tehran Terrorist Regime. With the Abraham Accords he created a series of treaties between Israel and a group of other nations which involved him being nominated by four national heads of government for three different Nobel Peace awards. That is UNIQUE. Needless to say the Swedish Loons and Bigots did not even consider this and gave it to the EU - for WHAT exactly?

  8599. ​ @steveb951  You are the FASCIST who ALWAYS runs to scream support for the anti-democratic Brussels Bureaucracy. As to your ASININE points. There has been NO problems exporting UK food as sales are up to previous levels a few forms being filled in is just screeching FAKE NEWS as a Barlaymont Troll. The NIP problems are caused by the EU which asked for the arrangement to 'protect the integrity of the Single Market' (Barnier) but now interpret it to mean 'cause dislocation in GB--NI trad. Scrapping this and let the Irish impose a hard border for Brussels will expose Fake Republicanism and Irish Unity once and for all. The fishing industry is NOT in tatters - the dislocation of landing nonsense was dropped by the EU when it hurt their own processing companies - as does ALL EU nonsense. Old News now FAKE NEWS. Less than 75 of British business does ANY dealing with the EU and not EVEN 60% of them report any difficulties at all - hence the full post Covid recovery in trade -FAKE NEWS. There has been no rising costs attributed to Brexit as the Sterling -Euro exchange rate is more to the UK advantage, declining imports from EU are to be encouraged as EU exports are over-priced. FAKE NEWS. There has opnly been a significant increase to consumer prices because of Covid Recession - recovery - NOTHING TO DO WITH BREXIT - FAKE NEWS. 'Reduced Competitiveness': now you are in FAIRY TALE LAND there is increased competitiveness thanks to open market - the SM -CU was meant to keep prices high against competition from outside,. A BALD LIE on your part. The LSE figures bear no relation to rerality nor to any CBI data, which noted massive increases in UK manufacturing and exports -FAKE NEWS. As the complete opposite of every single point you have made is the reality and the shops can now fill with competitive goods without the imposition of EU price and manufacturing controls and Tariffs then Brexit is a success. But then somehow you do not occupy reality as a MSM paid for TROLL.

  9180.  @liestricks  All the usual stuff and nonsense, ignorant twaddle and propaganda of the Barlaymont Basement Disinformation Unit. Apart from your ignorance there is your make believe - WHICH US PRESIDENT promoted Brexit ? Obama actually came to the UK to threaten us all on behalf of Cameron and Biden keeps wetting hios pants over the NIP and the now DEAD GFA. Putin was very much pro-EU because its Energy Policy was to rely on Gazprom and Nordsee Pipelines . I do not recall that the UK was a customer for these? Art 16 of teNIP is not 'breaking the agreement' it is part of the agreement the NIP NOT the T7CA and Art 16 was IMPLEMENTED by Uvd Leyen during the pandemic, but id not bother to notify the Irish poodle Varadkar. . I do not hold a brief for the current Lords, created by Blair, but it does not have the authority to block legislation but has done so. It is a in fact the Lords which has been the most antagonistic to ANY and EVERY Brexit policy. Why? Because a majority of Peers have direct payments for EU lobby groups and EU interests. The UK constitution is NOT unusual in having a non-Elected Upper House. The last PM of Italy was an appointed Life Senator and then he was appointed as Premier. In fact he was previously an appointed EU Commissioner and appointed President of the ECB. Most Upper Houses in the EU have forms of non-Elected representatives. Go check your comparators. The fact is that on NINE occasions, since 1997, the British people have been asked about the policy of being in the EU by parties running for election promising a referendum on either extensions of EU powers or membership. Each time the party, Labour or Tory, has won yet then not carried out its promise until Cameron was required to in 2016. Why the reluctance to hold a referendum until then .. because the UK establishment , like the EU political leaderships, know the answer will not be the one they want. You clearly do not recall the national referendums on the so called 'European Constitution' which in every country that had one it was rejected. It was therefore dropped, but then brought in by back door as the 'Lisbon Treaty'. I remember Macron when first elected admitted the French if given a Frexit Referendum would Vote Leave. In every EUro Election since 2014 the EUroSceptic parties have increased their representation. Indeed the largest p single party to sit in Brussels was the Brexit Party until 2019. As for trade - the UK is less of an importer of EU stuff because it can be had for better value from elsewhere and is doing so. That trade is in decline - as for your idiotic suggestion that WTO trade is too expensive or markets too far, the please explain why the UK always ran a deficit with the EU as a member in a so called'mutually beneficial trading bloc' but has always had a major surpluds with non-EU nations under WTO. The EU cannot find another market within the EU that is 20% of what it used to be - 100% less 20% is 80% that 80% CANNOT be as big as the previous 100% - 27 of the EU states have no viable economies to speak of and hardly trade at all. But then the rules of common sense and basic arithmetic never held with EU fanatics. I suggest that you go and get analysed for your Brexit-EU Derangement Syndrome and your pathological obsession with the UK Leaving.
