Fullerene Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Alternatively, couldn't we just get Kim Jong Um to nuke us? There is a good chance the bomb would be highly inefficient and there would be a lot of unused uranium left over that we could then grab hold of. Problem solved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Very long article and for an American audience so a lot of it is stuff we already know. but what comes over is the utter bewilderment and naivety of the politicians over the complexity of Brexit. Old fashioned British muddling through without a strategy and hoping the Civil Servants would work it out seems to have been the modus operandi. Small excerpt. Quote May declared, “The authority of E.U. law in Britain will end.” The line sounded technical, but it caused great shock outside the U.K. Withdrawing from the European Court of Justice meant that May intended to take Britain out of more or less every regulatory mechanism devised by the bloc, from drug safety to aviation rules. Senior officials working on Brexit were also astonished: there had not yet been a detailed discussion of the E.C.J. with May and her team. “They didn’t know what it meant,” the civil servant told me. The pound fell sharply, and European governments began calling, trying to decipher May’s intentions. “You think, Oh f**k. This is going to be fun in Brussels.” That morning, May had also announced that she would trigger Article 50 by the end of March, 2017, which would put in place the two-year deadline for the country’s exit. The Prime Minister’s political staff were adamant that she activate the clause soon, to show the nation that Brexit was happening. But British officials familiar with the E.U.’s processes argued for delay. By starting the clock before the government had fully defined what it wanted Brexit to look like, May risked giving the E.U. an inherent advantage in the negotiations—time would always be against her. Diplomats insisted that some informal bargaining was possible before the technical talks began. “You need to go around Europe,” the senior official explained. “Sit down with Merkel and Macron and say, ‘This is our vision, O.K.? Do you guys buy it?’ You figure out where your landing area is. Then you trigger Article 50.” Sir Ivan Rogers, the U.K.’s permanent representative to the E.U., and Oliver Robbins, the civil servant in charge of Dexeu, were given twenty-four hours’ notice of May’s announcement. Both objected; both were overruled. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/07/30/theresa-mays-impossible-choice Edited August 3, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interviewer was cheering him on rather than challenging outright lies. Quote We did think, though, that the exchange rate would go down. We took a lot of heat for saying that in advance, but it was the easiest call one could make, probably the easiest call I’ve seen in macro in 25 years in terms of what was going to happen to the exchange rate if the vote went a certain way. It did. We thought inflation was going to rise, we thought the economy would slow. And all of those have transpired. Every prediction, every forecast, every comment in that environment has been amplified. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2018-bank-of-england-mark-carney-interview/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Comment from BBC site, it's really laughableAmazing to think the UK survived for 6 years without selling a single £ to Europe, when our supplies from the ROW were being bombed and torpedoed by the Germans. when we leave the EU what will happen is the the French, Spanish, Germans and all will be rioting in the streets because they cannot sell to us and the EU will collapse.Arrogance will be the cause, The EU leaders will be to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
