Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?

  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .

- U-Turns on the NHS
- U-Turns on the much demonised deal with the US
- U-Turns on Turkey (Boris had pledged to help Turkey in their bid to become EU members)

Seriously I wonder how these people can say these things with a straight face. I hope the EU will refuse to negotiate with this charlatans forcing the UK to new general elections. For a country who left the EU for sovreignity reasons its ridiculous that the one whose organizing the dances hasnt been voted as a PM by the people.

Nice to see the Venomous Rajoy holding out a friendly hand to Scotland in the event of Exit. Another EU leader putting personal interest first.

Scotland is part of the UK and the UK voted to leave. Why should the EU be expected to bend the rules for anybody? Is it even possible for Scotland to be both in the EU and a Brexit UK?

In my opinion, they should consider a fast track membership to Scotland but only if it untangles itself from the UK. There again I also find that difficult to do in practice. Unlike what the Breidiots say (ie Davis, Boris and Fox, not all Brexiteers), the EU is far more democratic than people think, with each country having a VETO. If Spain doesn't want Scotland in the EU then Scotland will not be part of the EU
 
Scotland are in a pretty fecked up situation.
Even if they gain independence, they will have to adopt the euro to get back in.
The EU rule that new countries must adopt the euro us absolutely bullshit. And that's coming from a europhile

If scottish independence happens before UK EU deal, scotland will come out much better off.

We were hostile to the idea of the Euro last time but with the way the pounds going now, doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
 
Is Scotlands economy strong enough to pass the tests required for entry to the EU?

As it is No.
It currently has a 9% deficit GDP ratio. The limit is 3% of GDP. Also, inflation in the UK will exceed 2.5% in the next 12 months. But for political reasons, the EU is always flexible with these things which is counterproductive.

While I agree their will be an inflation shock before next summer and running higher than usual inflation for a few years as a results of leaving.

Incorrect. Thats just wrong. As I said, I have seen the workings of currency hedging by several giant transnational corps.
They hedge for everything from Yen and Yuan to Rupee and Rand. Which means they (mostly) deal in one of the two local currencies especilly the ones like unilever.

This is just absurd like your %age calculation from a couple of months back.

Think this through for a while and you might figure out that this doesnt even mean anything.

Think you have very little idea what you are talking about - you're the expert who's spent a few summer months faffing about with currencies, right ok , don't listen to experts as per your advice. PS my business was not oil.

Paid (highly so) internship on a currency desk at the biggest investment bank in london, Yes. Thats what we call it in literate people speak.

Its far more credible than someone who cant do 5th grade maths. :lol: And yes most "doom n gloom" remain experts are exactly like you, who cant do simple math but talk shit all the time.

Seems like you cant read properly as well. Read my post again, I said "like oil", not oil.

Darn you really are tedious to explain things to.

Ooh an internship! You have understood none of the posts I made and by your previous posts in this thread you have understood very little of what other posters have said or what's going on around you.
Just hope that the institution you work for have not been running any Sterling risk over the past 11 months.

Typical person who realises they are wrong and start hurling insults. Grow up little boy

To be fair, UK paying billions just for Bank's passporting is a great deal for the EU and a horrible one for us.

Well it depends how the individual 27 EU countries sees it. Some treasure their freedom of movement dearly and they wouldn't like the UK to be able to cherry pick the deals they want even though they will have to pay money for it. Others may be salivating at the prospect of a decent number of companies from that sector pitching camp in their own country instead. Others might be asking if that would set a precedent. Would other non European countries like the US, Canada and China start asking access to financial passporting now too?

I think that the UK would have a better chance of getting the deal if it applies for an off the shelf solution instead (ex EEA entrance or the Swiss model). Unfortunately both have freedom of movement incorporated in it and I doubt May can keep its strong xenophobic minority under control to get that.

It would be a greater say than the Commons could have received on TTIP, were we a member of the EU. Or similarly in the case of the Lisbon Treaty.
 
I don't know why but reading all these articles from the economic ministers discussing inflation recently I get the eerie feeling of hearing pretty much the same dog whistle talk before the subprime housing crisis in the US. I'm not as well versed in economics either but my mom is a hedge fund analyst and she kind of gave me a very shaky answer when I spoke to her too.
 
I was listening to a report which categorised the main drivers behind inflation in 2016 a little earlier, and foremost among them was hotel pricing. Yet with our good summer and depreciated currency, it could be said that this has merely been the sector reacting to the level of demand out there.
