Why is the UK importing huge amounts of gold?

I'm guessing the bullion market? https://www.ft.com/content/0407854e-f9d0-11e6-9516-2d969e0d3b65

Given that map, looks like if there are going to be shortages in the UK because of Brexit, it'll be shortages of new vehicles.  But I guess the Brits can just ride bikes from Tunisia.

They'll have lots of empty car factories, they can start building Morris's again.

Looking just at each country's biggest export is pretty deceptive, since it could be that France's top 10 exports are more significant than all of South America for instance.

I refuse to be interested in this latest "shock defeat" - a meaningless bill to support in spirit what we already knew the MPs don't want to be seen supporting (can also be called reality).

Plus, of course it got defeated. It was a Brexit-related bill to support something. It should have been against something and then it would have gotten a majority.

Meanwhile there's no negotiation with the EU and no progress on, well anything.



Ultimately, unfortunate or not, at this moment in time the best option is May's deal. As a friend of mine aptly put it: MPs rejecting it now is like a drowning man in the sea refusing a rescue boat, insisting to wait for a ship to pick him up.

Yeah that map is not very useful.

I do hope we are all wrong about this and Brexit brings nothing but freedom and wealth.

And sparklers, don't forget the sparklers.

edit:
Oh and maybe some of those pretty Chinese lanterns, too.

I wonder if the 7 British Languishites who voted leave still think that was a good idea.

Great point.  Any takers?

[The Larch]

Do we even have 18 British posters anymore?

Angulutus (?sp) thingy was one, but he only occasionally drive-by posts now.

I'm not sure there were that many in total?

Shelf, Brazen, Tricky RH, Warspite, the famous one, Angulutus thingy, me, PJL guy? , Swallow, someone I know, um I'm missing a few surely?

The Russian bots voting in the poll probably still think it is a good idea.
