You have been proven disastrously wrong on every other issue. You will be proven wrong once again
You know fuck all about Britain yet you give the impression that you are an expert
. I suggest you keep to flight attendants duties and refrain from stupid comments. By the way, is the arsehole going to remain in the WH after Jan 21st ? :lol:

Supporting Brexit was Johnson's route to achieving his lifelong ambition of residing in Downing Street. Had he and Cummings been in favour of remaining in the EU we would still be members - so much for democracy! The "Rule Britannia" fools have been mugged by Johnson, Cummings and the gutter press, we have jeopardised the future of the little industry we still possess; we will now see the erosion of the service industry we are so dependent on.

It is pure lunacy, we have the world's largest and our nearest trading block, yet the peasants who apparently wanted .....independence as well as a top class clown as a PM.
The Daily Expressshit has so much influence with the peasants and mostly geriatric little Englanders.
Just wait for a year or so when the consequences of this suicidal act begins to set in, well who will be to blame ?
By the way, can someone tell this Clown to get his fucking hair sorted :lol:

Lucky I have so moments to spare after a day of Boxing Day test cricket.

I wish you a merry Christmas but above all an even happier Independence Day. I obviously wasn’t wrong was I?

So, enjoy Independence Day.

The EU is further eroding industry.

The UK has a brighter future as part of CANZUK because that places them in the dynamic position of being in the Asia Pacific and North America.

When the trade war with Chy-na finishes, which it will as too much money rides on it, then the IK is exactly where it wants to be with new markets in Asia and Subcontinent, it’s clear, Europe is pretty well done and dusted. Even France can see the writing on the wall and is trying to position as a Pacific power.

As for democracy, the British people voted twice for BREXIT. The mere fact this was being thwarted for years is undemocratic.

I’ll be free of debt in January or February and flush with cash was I settlement is reached as I only owe just shy of 500K. I don’t have any home mortgage. I should go back into it in about 12 months time. It’s pretty much almost free money these days.

And got another to hit the market in February/March.

Pretty good hey?

Now, do you need anymore accounting lessons in the virtues of certain types of debt?

EU seems to be more concerned about the UK watering down Labour laws after Brexit than Boris is, which is why Boris is bitching about sovereignty rights blah blah blah, because he wants to water down UK’s Labour laws and also have free market with the EU, so that he can have an advantage over the EU, which the EU said, “on your bike, Boris”. We will have a level playing field and should you water down your Labour laws, then we will impose duty on your goods. :D

The Brexiteers will get fucked by their own UK government after Brexit. They would deserve it, unfortunately the rest will get fucked also in the UK. For so long British workers were protected by the EU, but now, their fate will be in the hands of the UK government, and not a very promising one either, especially with the Covid pandemic which seems to be getting out of control in the UK. Talk about fate, more like talk about the perfect storm of economic disaster for the UK and her citizens. Well, at least they got their “sovereignty” back with ALL the foreigners to remain in the UK still. :D


And since when should the EU have any input on any friggin laws or internal matters of the UK?

And haha, the EU is like panicking right now because Boris is all too happy to be on him is bike. Be called them out and dealt them the death blow.

Good riddance EU.

Soon, the UK will have a union with 3 of the best countries in the world. They are leaving a bunch of dysfunctional and almost bankrupt bananas for 3 dynamos which are in Switzerland’s league no less. :wink:


So the UK knew all along that it could not have a hard Brexit and funny enough, so did the EU, so Boris accepted the deal based on EU’s terms, which means that, the UK government will not be able to make laws which would tilt the level playing field to it’s advantage, as far as tariffs free goods going to the EU goes. Like it or not, the UK is very much still tied to the EU, but at a lesser advantages than while U.K. was a member of the EU. If the UK believed they had a very strong hand, they would have walked away from the EU with a hard Brexit a year ago and gone with the WTO tariffs based economy with the EU, to which the UK could have passed any kinds of laws they wanted. That would have been the true exit from the EU and a truly taking back their sovereignty. Sorry Paphitis, but the UK did not gain their independence from the EU, hence the fact there won’t be any Independence parade happening anytime soon. :wink:


The way I see it is Britain got pretty much everything it was asking for.

It has a free trade deal, and at the same time isn’t encumbered by EU Law, or courts.

It just needs to abide by certain fair play rules with regard to their free trade. But the EU has no avenues to force the UK to do anything. If it violates the level playing field, it’s free trade might be in jeopardy. It’s just a standard free trade agreement.

And the UK will be out of the EU at end of January.

You just said it : " certain types of debt"
The ONLY acceptable debt is a mortgage as well as a business acquisition. Borrowing to buy a car or a second home isnt a prudent deal. Borrowing to go on holiday, as people do, or expensive items in order to keep up with the Jonesess is a bad idea. Business debts are very different from personal debts where as a business will get tax relief on interest paid an individual will not.
