Being serious this time...
Does anyone genuinely reckon that Brexit WILL be halted/reversed? Interesting times ahead, methinks... |
Don't think it will be reversed.
We spend our lives panicking about nothing. Nothing will change,just a bit of initial volatility ( due to our expertise in worrying.lol) |

The public uprising has begun! 50,000 people is a pretty huge protest against anything, let alone something that "most of the country now accept"! Just watching last night of the proms, looks like it could be the official after party; there's nearly as many EU flags as the Union flag :P Notice, it's only London, nowhere else in the country do you see protests. Pretty much mirroring the referendum result. 2/3 of the population now want the UK to leave the EU, obviously excluding London:D From the Huff Some 1,700 people said they attended the event on Facebook.:lol1: But while organisers had hoped for thousands of attendees, other pictures showed a largely deserted Whitehall https://www.google.co.uk/amp/m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/uk_59b405a5e4b0354e44122a1b/amp one politician budding to become a stage actor said He said: “I’ve gone from anger to distress, from fury to despair. But since the Brexit negotiations begun there’s a third emotion I’ve been feeling. He's bound to get the Lawrence Olivier award:lol1: Another who's is obviously up for a Oscar. Said One marcher, wearing a blue beret emblazoned with yellow stars, told the BBC she had joined the rally because she felt "totally violated by the idea of Brexiting". Didn't anyone tell her, yellow and blue clash :D The Green Party member said, to applause: "I want a similar meaningful vote for people in Westminster. "Not a gift from the Government but a right"And I also want a vote for the people of this country And a Big Mac And. Fresh flowers ever morning :norty: |

Yep, and on the premise of remai/oaners shown here, the Welsh referendum in 1997 should have been annulled ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wels...ferendum,_1997 ) Blair made sure that wasn't going to happen. Changed his tune since :lol1: |
Amazing really , we're too busy devising ways how best to Stick it to rest Europe , while we let slide our responsibilities overseas territories

Nothing 'pure' or democratic about handing lots more executive powers to a government voted in by the minority of voters |

Martin: ALL governments are voted in in that way. |

Martin: ALL governments are voted in in that way. I know. So why wasn't that the thing that we needed to fix first, rather than the EU/Brexit? You either believe in democracy or you don't |
So, another interesting week in Brexit politics:

Certainly, its price setting has a lot to do with their market assessment, but you can't possibly argue the exchange rate is not part of their consideration!

Brexit makes Trump supporters look clever.

You either believe in democracy or you don't Anyhoo the warning signs were there on the Welsh referendum; just 6000 odd people dictated the final result on their devolution. |

Oh yeah, for as long as I can remember big USA brands have always tried to adopt a $1=£1 pricing structure....
My toolbox full of Snap-On tools is tantamount to this...even back when £1 was $2 the tool prices was still priced 1:1 |
And don't even get me started on the japs.........

uh yes you can, should be £770 if that was the case (based in 1.3), they could put them at £850 and still have plenty of head room in for fluctuations.

https://apple.news/AyH0MiYhbQJauZy82asjxWQ lol at "thousands". Er, that'll be a paltry <7,000, then. Technically correct of course......but honestly! Sheesh. So, here's some context for you, found by simply clicking a couple of links: The petition was opened on/at 2017-09-12/9:42:01.831 - so Yesterday morning! The article was published on/at 2017-09-13/17:21 - Just under 2 hours ago at time of writing! So, ignoring the fact that the article was probably written some time before it was published, the petition acquired 7000 signatures in just over 31 hours! Under two hours later, its now almost double on 13831 and has increased by over 500 in the time its taken me to write this. The closing date for the petition is 12th March 2018 (6 months from the creation date)! What do you think the total will be by then? The petition requires 100,000 signatures for consideration for debate in parliament. Its acheived over 1/10th that in two days before the link has been posted all over social media! Have a look back in 10 days time and see how much over 100,000 it is! Then come back in March and make a joke of its insignificance! :hjtwofing Just checked back and its now 14,273! Here's a direct link to the petition if its too difficult for you to click through from the independent article: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200004

That poll is currently zooming up at a fair rate. Now over 17,500.
Interesting times ahead. Thing is, the Art.50 talks will (or will they?! lol) be well developed by then. So could end up being a case of too little, too late, regardless... |
