Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

Yi, I think he's laying the groundwork for Norway.

A not unreasonable goal, but I don't see how it's furthered by stating "everything will be ossum."

Don't you realise he's channelling Churchill, hence the over use of never and history; honestly Yi, the things he says Will come to pass.

In part it's his brand. I think Farage is our Trump. Boris used to boast about being pro-immigration and his whole style, that's worked so far, is broad cheerful optimism and jokiness.

I don't think it's real and I feel like he's been caught out now but I think that's what he's doing.

Corbyn reminds me of a British Sanders, and in a bad way.

I honestly can't think of a "good way".  They are both flogging really stupid idea that should have been put to bed by the 1970's.  Back in the 1990's sanders was still trying defund the military and get rid of the CIA.  I imagine both of them cried a lot back in 1989 and 1991.

Sterling down on early trading as the Eastern markets open.

Next few days could be quite choppy.


Supposedly Osborne has regained some composure and will speak* this morning before trading starts in Europe.

edit:
Apparently he'll just be releasing a statement; canned or rallying call who's to know.

Sterling now down:

Sterling was trading at $1.3365, down almost 3% from Friday's close. Against the euro it was trading at €1.2147, down 1.4%.

It does occur to me actually that if you're remotely interested in politics and not a mentalist we really should join the parties now because this stuff is too important to be left to Tory activists and Momentum

Join what parties?  You mean the Conservative and the Labour parties?

THE TIME TO MARCH ON QUEBEC IS NOW

Are you so anxious to join the hysterical Anglo euros in their downward spiral?

Pound will be volatile, don't sell during one of the lows.

I'm thinking of joining three parties :

Labour - so I can vote for a sensible centre-left candidate.

Conservatives -  Stop Boris!

Lib Dems - I sort of am one.


I'm also wondering whether to become active in politics, but that sort of thing is not really my line at all

  I am totally confused.  If you join Labour, you are supposed to hate the Conservatives.  If you join the Conservatives, you are supposed to hate Labour.  How can you join both?  It is like cheering for both England and Argentina when they meet in the World Cup.

#1 for Barcelona for Ciudadanos (our strand of lib-dems), has been a member of the Socialist Party and the Conservative Party before joining up with them 

And you'll find many like them over here. Move around until you find a party that will get you elected. "Professional politics" at its worst.
