If it wasnt for brexit we would be on tariffs of 20%. So we now have the potential to attract thousands of jobs to the UK.

However, Brexit has !ist the economy 100bn per year. That equates to 30bn less in the public purse so overall it's a crock of shit Leggie.

Pathetic Europe..Europe rips us off..The remoaners have gone into meltdown over Trump's comments..Kick their arses Donald!!

Look at the bigger picture Leggie not just one event, how are we going to attract 1000s of jobs to the U.K., stick to footy Leggie.
Following Brexit, many financial institutions, seeking continued access to the EU market, moved operations or staff from the UK to the EU, primarily to cities like Frankfurt, Dublin, and Paris, due to the loss of "passporting rights.

You haven’t a clue tbh let’s hope you don’t have an investment scheme/private pension linked to the Stock Market, it will have decreased substantially in the last couple of days, do a bit of research before posting crap.

Fruit and veg still rotting in UK fields,Jamie through lack of pickers ..go on say it

Where are the students to do the picking?

How do you know how it's all going pan out in the end clever arse.?.. You're all flouncers you remoaners.

Being happy about this is like being happy that a burglar has only taken 10% of your stuff rather than 20%

Trump's Tariffs..Endless begging bowls from poorer EU countries and then theres the coalition of the willing to fund try.How will Ursula cope with it all?

I know who it's going to hurt most

Judging by the massive declines in the global markets the out come looks very bad.

Who ?

Wonder how Japan survives all alone…the EU are putting feelers out to Kazakhstan and Georgia now…Putin will be getting even more paranoid now….a poor time to spread the EU influence.

Not if the burglar has been getting robbed by the ’victim’..you conveniently choose to forget the other side of the story..Grauniad as Private eye used to spell it….por spelling was their forte ?

The world will re-calibrate their economies and Trump will appease his red neck supporters.
The UK could take advantage of this by making or channelling foreign goods to the USA. Chinese firms opening or buying companies in the UK?

I think anyone can see the advantages the 10% gives us….to the disadvantage of the E U..for company relocations.

Special relationship or pet poodle.

If it pays a dividend grab it…there was never a special relationship…..that was post war wishful thinking….the Americans would never have come into the war if Hitler hadn’t been dumb enough to declare war on them…..public opinion in the US was only concerned about defeating Japan and saw no need to come over despite Roosevelt wanting to.
No one realises at the beginning of the war the US was selling us armaments, not very good ones actually, but as our gold reserves were running out, they’d supply us only if we sold all our assets in the US to them at a knockdown price, some big names were sold which were resold to US companies at an handsome profit by the US Government.
Lovely people.

Then up pops Pearl Harbour right on " cue " to persuade the people to join up Again follow the money certain countries made a absolute fortune and restarted failing economies. Not to mention the bankers.

We ended up skint.

Also didn't America fleece us and or milk it for all it was worth then, basically lending us the money to continue fighting the war, a debt I believe we only paid off around the turn of this century. That's the way Capitalism works, and the US are the masters of that increasingly doomed ideology.

That's what Trump is doing now in his negotiations with Ukraine

Exactly..but with US Coke and Burgers…has opposed to Russian Cabbage…one bad option, one slightly less bad option.
Proof that the meek will not inherit the Earth.

would not be bad if the eu was booming and it was only this country that was a mess. for the average man in the street he might not have seen the benefits of leaving the eu but not missed out on much because we have left even if in name only.

True(ish), but not the full story.

The Americans were feigning neutrality to keep the US public happy, and were already involved in an undeclared war with Germany as US warships had been regularly engaging U-boats long before the "proper" war started. These recurring naval battles (as part of their "escort role" in the Atlantic convoys) had created a de facto war with Germany even if no official declarations had been issued by either side at that point.

This situation ultimately changed following a request to the Germans from the Japanese ambassador (in late November 1941) to amend the Axis pact - which at the time only required Germany and Italy to aid Japan if the Nips hadn't attacked a neutral country first.

Hitler (with consent from Mussolini) rather stupidly decided to accept the request to support the Japs even if they were the aggressor, and that change was made official three days before Pearl Harbor. (Spooky!!!)

Four days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hitler - who had pretty much forced his own hand by changing the terms previously agreed with the Japanese - formally declared war on the US.

This allowed Roosevelt to respond to Adolf in kind the very next day, especially as the Japanese attack had delivered him the support of the vast majority of the US public to go and kick the arse of any fucker he wanted to...

I remember a russian bloke who worked for agency we used. He got talking about the war etc He was educated to believe the British only joined WW2 in 1945 just before the war finished. Not 1939 and when we told him thats not true he was adamant it was how strange. He got so upset by us all laughing he called a teacher ( brother in law ) in Russia who spoke English and ask him the same question then put him 9n loud speaker...he said exactly the same thing. How strange or what some propaganda here.

not on such a high scale but wonder how much propaganda we have had thrown at us that we believed once.

Demonstrations called Hands Off in The States in more than a 1000 cities, how will Trump deal with them or will he just ignore them and hope they go away ?
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump- ... 025-04-05/

you mean like starmer or any other british pm would also ignore a protest in this country. problem is you,ll find as many or more pro trump supporters around if they made a counter demo. the democrats would never just sit back for 4 years till his term is up in todays world of protesting and the more interesting thing would be the votes of a referendum on his actions. in this country it seems the fashion to be anti trump as it was pro joe with all jis faults.

If there were so many Trump supporters why didn’t they counter protest, it’s not to say all the protesters were Democrats is it although I would be concerned if they did, could be a ‘bloodbath’ after The White House siege.

Behave, the US media is 90% democratic biased and they would claim it was an attack by armed stormtrooper's from Trumps militia surpressing them or some other bilge.
They don’t need to, they won….mind you they could say it was an insurrection and jail them all, but who’d do that….sleepy Joe…?

Didn’t stop the Trumps supporters storming The White House.

Americans overreact…..if we applied their rules here every time someone demonstrated outside Parliament would be jailed.
A couple of hundred people do,not constitute an insurrection…it was hardly the storming of the bastille a total load of biollocks to any normal,person….the end of their country if you’re on Biden’s medication.
Have a nice day Jamie…l the sun’s bout a guest appearance in here.

Any idea how many Labour supporters made the trip ,jamie?.

All the affronted out en masse demanding they be heeded….pity they didn’t listen when they were in power…America’s twee, strident middle class having a tantrum.
Nowt to see.

Its just the Sheep supporters of neo liberalism, , the lucky ones, who are doing okay ( for now ) in this mad crazy world we now live in. Probably have a job, an easy job a home, and kids going to Uni , money in the bank and regular holidays, and best of all, a hope that things will continue to get even better in future, the very hope that many Trump supporters never had. Ironically these very people see themselves as the guardians of democracy, not accepting democracy, calling everyone with a different point of view either a Fascist, Trump supporter, Putin apologist, Racist blah blah blah, or if they can, even better, send them to jail and or ban them from standing in elections.

They always say about politics , if an ideology goes around far enough one way, then it morphs into the ideology it once despised. I think you are seeing this with the neo liberalism of Biden, Starmer, Macron, Merkel, Von Der Leyen, , Lagarde etc.

All millionaires, who bang on about peace and democracy being under threat, whilst starting wars all over the gaff whilst cancelling and jailing all those with a different point of view.

Well there were hundreds of thousands maybe millions of sheep supporters of neo liberalism across many cities in The States, did you check the figures out before posting ?

Never said there weren't many of them, but a million, even 2 million or even 3 million, out of a population of 347,275,807, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of neo-liberalism, more poverty, continuing war, or worse standards of living is it?.

Now this all may continue under Trump, we'll have to wait and see, but at the moment, at least he appears to be trying to sort things out, unlike the neo liberals, neo cons, like Biden, Obama, Von Der Leyen, Lagarde's, Starmer, Macrons etc, who just wanted thing to carry on as they were, which served them pretty well, but not the majority of the rest of us. And yet all of the aforementioned, still want to take us further into the abyss.

They seem in some urgent rush to confront Putin with little concern for the consequences ..rather like WW1 where they all wanted a piece of the action.

They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky...Uncle Festa lookalike?? Sorry wrong thread Mutley

Are you still taking the meds Sussex I had no idea how bad things had got since that shock of your beloved Darlow falling apart. Its important to keep a positive outlook mate and not to confuse films and football with real life.

Hoy FUCK OFF that’s what our lass calls me…or Darth Vader with his helmet off..,cheeky floosie
