Re: Brexit to Blame again
What a time to be alive :biggrin:
Now we are just waiting for our European brothers and sisters to follow our lead. Let's get back to trading with each other, and forget about all this superstate/open borders/single army nonsense :thumbup:

Fantastic.
But, seeing as Brexit hasn't happened yet, and nobody in Gov't/Whitehall seems to know where to begin, perhaps it has been assumed that it may possibly never happen. :-)

Re: Brexit to Blame again
I heard rumours that they're introducing a compulsory language called eurosperanto. All schools for all member countries will teach in it, and kids will get just one hour per week in their mother tongue. It should be in force by 2022.
I think it's an absolute disgrace. Glad we're out.

Price rises may come into affect because of 2 factors - Trump going on a spending spree with increase inflation (hence price rises) , the cost of buying goods from abroad for the manufacture of products in the UK will lead to price rises due to the level of sterling.
Most economists arent concerned too much about that though. Trump it seems wants the UK to ensure Brexit is a success - with trade agreements asap. A trade agreement with the UK wont impact on jobs in the rust belt states.
Cautious baby steps etc
Trump is a US self sustain protectionist, all the US corporates that have set up here to dodge the US tax code will fuk off home if he gets his wish, trumpet will be a colossal fuk up for us.

Maybe if we followed suit, all of our business would come home too? Globalism only really works for those at the very top.

It's about time they started doing some real stuff, instead of shifting numbers around on spreadsheets, and shafting everybody else in exchange for a small slice of the pie.

it wont, so is this unit military or police? or just nato training, the idea of a european army or integrated police force is laughable, police forces in england and wales don't do much integrating unless forced to by events

I said it was a rumour, so my backside is covered :biggrin: But seriously, there are two EU organisations doing interoperability training with police/military from 7 countries.It seems like their main focus is on economic related civil unrest.

It seems the idea goes back to 2005, and they specifically mentioned civil unrest between the haves and the have-nots. Maybe they had prior knowledge of the coming financial collapse of 2007/8?

Somebody senior wrote a report, and he clearly mentioned economic related civil unrest. The report was then used as a catalyst to set up the interoperability training groups. I guess we will know one way or the other about their purpose if things ever kick off. In the meantime, go and stick your head back in the sand :biggrin:

Actually, thinking about it, the retail sales are also measured in £- so wouldn't these also be artificially inflated by a weak £?
So of the 3 things you mentioned 2 aren't a genuine effect.
The remaining one is unemployment and that was already decreasing and so can't be considered an effect of Brexit either.
