I need a Euro sign on my keyboard! ;D

1.206. Not that good when you factor in the Euro is struggling. Still not to be sniffed at. I dare say it will go up a couple more points over the next few days.
Cheap Euroland holidays again for Brits.

What about the Popular Front?
He's over there...

Time for the blame game.
Labour. We would have won if it hadnt been for Brexit.
We lost because we had Corbyn as our leader.
I wonder if Corbyn will resign as leader and take his momentum elsewhere?

The lazy tinkers haven't finished counting ours yet...

Ficking idiots.

Scotland and Norn Irn have voted heavily in favour of nationalism, which is a big concern. We could see the break up of the UK in the near future if things aren't handled carefully.
-
A great result in my opinion, we were discussing at work yesterday what could happen if Corbyn got in a terrifying scenario.
-
Ah, and all the folks I know who supported Corbyn are now blathering on about how the country is ruined, they need to move abroad now, we're entering a "Neo-Dickensian era", and that anyone who voted tory should find the most vulnerable person they can and shout "f*ck you" in their face ::) ::)
-
They've finally added ours up... a resounding battering for the Limp Damps and the communists ;D
First order of business? Get breakfast done... :D

One Labourite was calling for Corbyn to resign after the first 9 results had been declared!!Probably be calling for him to be publicly hanged now :D Last I heard Corbyn was refusing to go for a while yet :-X Locally I half expected opening the curtains and seeing signs of the world ending Labour lost Scunny to the Tories :o :o
-
Yes!! 8) 8) 8) 8)
Well, I called him a "Buffoon", but by golly he did it, and how! :D :D :y :y
Now the real work starts to get this country back on track, Brexit done, and the promises made about the police, NHS, and anything else hopefully fulfilled :)

He'd have a few years stay of execution while they argued the toss over how they hanged him or have another people's vote

Corbyn by saying they need a period of reflection before he goes is just showing his Marxist ideology at work. When you gain a position of power never, ever, ever volunteer to relinquish it. IMV he is hanging on to the job, until the election failure passes & will then try to hang on for good. :(

It's the membership who choose the leader of the Labour party and the membership are overwhelmingly hard left Momentum types. ;)
Momentum will want to maintain their control and influence and will make sure that a Corbynista is elected to the leadership, and they will plough on with their hard left agenda. ::)
-
So......
it looks like the rest of you will be joining me and Uncle Stemo (we left the EU in March)
unfortunately for you all, we had a 11 month head start :)
by the time you all get to the party.......
me and Uncle Stemo will have drank all the booze,
done all the fit lasses,
and ate all the nice things at the buffet ;D
so all that will be left is dry,curled up ,egg n cress sandwiches and salad
that'll learn ya ::)

That's excellent news :y With Corbyn at the helm Labour will be unelectable, and that's the way I like them.

I see wee Jimmy is acting all important like, and issuing her demands as usual. ;D
We'll be out of the EU before she even gets to mention indyref 2 to Boris.

Yep agree with that Uncle STEMO! :y
It makes you wonder what might have been had Boris become Tory leader in 2016 and just shows how utterly useless Theresa May was. ::)
-
Indeed. We have one person to blame for the last three and a half wasted years. Gove, the treacherous little shit. I hope Boris takes revenge on him now that he has a solid majority.
I just got up after my night shift and shout downstairs to swmbo "get breakfast done". It didn't work.

Well if they want to leave, and think they have enough tax payers to support them, then let them go, as that means all English tax collections stay in England, if you talk to people with a bit of education, they all stay that the amounts Scotland would make from oil and whiskey, isn't as much as WEE Jimmy thinks, and Ireland would struggle to.
-
They wouldn't have any oil ;)
All they would be left with is tourism and whiskey. I was about to add salmon, but whilst that is profitable enough to fly it around the world, it's produced in Orkney and Shetland* where the oil comes from... ;D
*Both of which only agreed to respect Scotland leaving the UK on the condition that they would remain independent of Scotland 8)
-
Between a rock and a hard place. :-\
Boris Johnson is not the new messiah. He is an inbred bumbling upper-class buffoon. :-\
But what of the alternatives?
A slip of a girl who should really be attending to her husband and children.........or a sad old man with a watch that stopped working in 1978.
All in all I prefer bumbling old Bojo.......in the same way I would prefer a dose of the pox to cancer.
No winners here. :-X

You can't add Salmon, he's going to jail for being a perv.

On purely financial terms your right. Historically when the heavy industry was still around, the North of England, Scotland, Wales and Norn Irn more than paid their way within the UK. But those days are gone and aren't coming back.
Despite what anyone wants to believe, Scotland and the rest of the UK 50 miles outside of London, is heavily subsidised by Southern English taxpayers, and would flounder without that subsidy.
Theres more to it than just financial considerations though. The UK has been an incredibly successful political union for centuries, whether in warfare, industry, the arts, culture etc. etc. and I believe all concerned will rue the day if it is ever broken up.
The UK has punched above its weight for a very long time in almost every measurable way.
It might be a clever move from Boris to flood Scotland with more cash for two or three years, then give them another referendum, hopefully win it, and shoot Wee Jimmys fox in the process.
-
I was just thinking that last night the BBC had Sophie Raworth outside in the cold and wet putting together a jigsaw map of the UK in various shades of blue, red and yellow. ::)
I went to bed at about 0230 and she was still there. Was the poor love out there all night? ??? :-\ ;D

The biggest problem Boris now has is situated north of Hadrians wall.
I suggest a bare knuckle fight between Boris and wee Jimmy.
Winner takes all. :)
-
Couldn't agree more M'Lud
We must do right by Morag; we must return to Scotland and you must fight her in the old Highland way...bare breasted and each carrying an eight pound baby!

Biggest problem might be Laura Kuensberg and the rest of the media. Listening to them all trying to explain the election outcome. They are as usual in denial like Corbyn.

Im pleased boris got in. But like Albs says hes not a messiah. He better deliver this f.....g brexit or I will personally go down there and... well in reality if brexit doesnt get done Id protest by never voting again.
I thank corbynski for being an immovable object as leader. I wonder if labour had got a fresh face a year ago whether the stupid public would have voted differently. Though obviously this was brexit v remain and at least for now faith is restored in the British public.
It was also lovely to see Jo Swinson get handed an arse tanning. Just gutted it wasnt me doing the tanning. Having said that shes been wearing the same green dress for the whole campaign so one wonders if its like a tuna taco 🌮 downstairs 😩😩😩😩🤮🤮🤮🤮

Brand loyalty and her tactic of conning people into a siege mentality, with her as their protector. She is a vile specimen of humanity with no scruples whatsoever.

If it wasn't for Nigel Farage, Theresa May would still be PM and we'd have been voting in a 2nd BREXIT referendum on Thursday rather than a GE. ;)
-
With a majority of 80 Boris will no longer be held to ransom by the Victorian undertaker and the rest of the ERG. They are history.
Brexit will now be a soft compliant Euro-friendly Brino. That is one thing Farage has right. :)
-
If it wasn't for Farage we wouldn't have had a referendum in the first place. You might think that a good thing or a bad thing, but its the truth.
Whether or not he has, or wants, any kind of future in politics remains to be seen, but he will always be a hero to me for bring democracy and sovereignty back to this country.

I suspect after his Grenfell gaff and getting kicked into the Zummerzet weeds for the election campaign, JRM will be returned to the backbenches for the foreseeable future. ::)
And far from being a far right dictator that the leftie types will depict him, I think Boris will be a centerist PM as he will be keen to keep all those new voters onside. ;)
-
He has always been a centrist, despite what the msm have recently tried to portray him as. To them, anyone who supports Brexit is a Nazi.

Yes and the Guardian are so far left that I'm surprised that they havn't branded Jo Swinson as a right wing nutter! ;D
As to BREXIT, in my view Boris has 2 choices to achieve his aim of getting a deal by the end of next year. Firstly he could do a Theresa May and simply agree to all of the EU's demands or secondly he plays hardball and walks away with a bare bones agreement that just gives zero tariffs, zero quotas and mutual recognition of standards.
Time will tell what we will end up with, but my preference would be the bare bones arrangement that leaves us with the loosest possible relationship with the EU and gives us the greatest flexibility to deal with other countries and trading blocks. :y

I think were lucky.... Farage and Boris have saved us. (For the moment at least).
-
I wonder if labour had got a fresh face a year ago whether the stupid public would have voted differently.
I think it could have been quite different. Labour had the right manifesto (if you are a socialist), but the wrong leader. Many, many people voted Tory, myself included and against my better judgement, purely to stop Corbyn.
Though obviously this was brexit v remain and at least for now faith is restored in the British public.
The media spout that, but I don't think it really was. Even I don't think the British public are that stupid. If it was, surely the Brexit party under that other unelectable 'tard Farage might have sneaked some seats.
I think most remainers respect democracy, so would potentially vote to leave if their had been a People's Vote or whatever. The fear from the Brexiteers side would be those disgruntled leave voters who have now discovered the promises, such as the £350m a week to the NHS and the EU would roll over and give us anything, were always outright lies.
-

The choice will be hard leave, or almost all in. Have you not paid attention since the referendum?
I think the whole world sees BoJo's deal as worse than TM's.
And to lose your biggest trading partner when you are a tiny, insignificant island leaves you with minimal options in a multinational world. China is fast becoming a place not to snuggle up with, which starts to leave us vulnerable to being the 51st state.
-
Would becoming the 51st state be worse than being the 28th state ?
I feel we have more in common with the U.S. than most of Europe.

I've been paying enough attention to see that the dynamics have now changed drastically and that there will be a deal of some sort. So all your talk of losing our biggest trading partner is 'dangle berries' frankly, and it all comes down to who Boris plays hardball with, the EU for a bare bones FTA or the Brexiteers/ERG in the Tory party for a BRINO status. ::)

We don't have to be either. We can be friends, cooperate and have free trade arrangements with the USA and the EU without having to integrate with either. ;)
Time will tell of course. ::)
-
Despite all his piss and bluster Boris is a one nation Conservative at heart. He was never really comfortable around the swivel-eyed 'little Englanders' like Rees Mogg.
Brexit will be like a 2 minute boiled egg. :)

As far as I know its Theresa Mays deal, but he has thrown Norn Irn under the bus. I believe that's the only alteration to it, but I hope Im wrong.
If Gove hadn't stabbed him in the back after Cameron ran off, Boris could have negotiated a different deal to spineless May three years ago, but we are where we are I suppose.
Im still not sure if her utter uselessness cost May a majority at the last election, or if she actually wanted to lose it.
I only hope that the parts of the EU we are still attached to, and shouldn't be, are things that can be unpicked in the future once the dust is settled. Otherwise, we will have to wait for it to collapse, which might take a few decades.

This. I often complain about the shithole of a country I live in but, when I think of places I should have moved to when I was younger, I realise they are as bad.....or worse.
Most of them are full of foreigners :o

it's the wastrels we've elected for so long that I have no faith in. And what little hope I had that would change is fading.
And no, I don't want to live anywhere else as that would merely change (some of) the issues.

Yes, why on earth cant we have a few (doesnt have to be all of them) not so well off well educated normal folk involved :( after all thats the majority of the people living here.

Not this yet again. Two demerits and stay behind after class. Any country with a GDP in the top six in the world is not insignificant. Major economy is the correct answer.
We lead the world in healthcare, pop music, financial services and technology, Online shopping, clean growth, offshore energy, attracting investment, literature, London, football, private security, animal welfare, private schools, universities, motorsport, contemporary archictecture, film special effects. I could go on but that should be enough for any Brit to be proud of some or all.

Exactly, not to mention were the best moaners too ;D :y

How's the weather? Not had a proper winter tyre debate for a while... ::)

Fine here at the moment, and Im tooled up with my Yokohama Guarda proper rally snow tyres on the Evo, so I will be going anywhere the height of the car can transverse come the snow. I cant wait ❄️⛄️ Let that be the start then :y

If anyone reads the rage-rags (Express etc), apparently Swinson might come to the house of Lords because the current party leader wants her "Back in Parliament as soon as possible" and nominating her for the dissolution honours list is a way of achieving that.. #jobsfortheboys
Or .. is it "jobs for the girls"? "Jobs for the people"? No, that one sounds too Marxist for the LimpDems.. ;D
-
Well, she did serve as an MP for a total of almost a whole parliament, and lead her party for the best part of three months, so surely its richly deserved.
She also fought hard to cancel the referendum result and Im very sure it was nothing to do with her husbands company receiving approx. £3.5 million from the EU last year.

Wow, how the hell can that be allowed to happen?

Its a gravy train, and it carries a hell of a lot of passengers.

Not this yet again. Two demerits and stay behind after class. Any country with a GDP in the top six in the world is not insignificant. Major economy is the correct answer.
We lead the world in healthcare, pop music, financial services* and technology, Online shopping, clean growth, offshore energy*, attracting investment*, literature, London, football, private security, animal welfare, private schools, universities, motorsport, contemporary archictecture, film special effects. I could go on but that should be enough for any Brit to be proud of some or all.
Crossed out the ones that are simply 'dangle berries', whatever the Mail might proclaim. The *'d ones will go when we lose our biggest trading partner.
And as for London being something we lead in, WTF? Like Kenya leads in something called Nairobi ;D
Its this belief that Great Britain still has an empire that will destroy us. Like it or not, we live in a global free market society, unless you want to try true Communism, which I'm guessing we don't by the Tory majority.
-
I really am sorry you feel that way about my list.
I am not going to waste my time explaining the list as you clearly do not have a desire for Britain to be great at anything. We will just have to agree to disagree .
As far as London is concerned, despite it being a place I personally care not to go to, if you were to ask around the world it is viewed as being THE city having such a mix of heritage, food, things to do etc etc. There I have just wasted my time. Hey ho .
-
London through rose tinted glasses. I lived there for ten years in the nineties/noughties. It was a shithole then, and that was before immigrants started stabbing each other over drugs to today's extent. Anyone who thinks London is something to be proud of needs to go and live there for a while.

The EU isn't free trade, it is a tightly controlled common market with 27 different opinions. Being out of it and genuinely free to trade independently can only be a good thing.
Lunun does have some commercial value as a global tourist destination in much the same way as places like Paris and Venice, and is in that regard highly rated. Millions of tourists every year do wonders for the local and greater economies and isn't something to be sniffed at. Although I would never volunteer to live, work or visit the place.
Likewise, it is still a leading player in the global market arena.
UK Plc still has a lot to offer.

Couldn't agree more, in the same way as many European capitals like Paris, Rome, Athens and so on. As do other UK cities, such as Oxford and Edinburgh. They bring in many £'s to our empty coffers. And the US £'s will keep coming, and if our currency stays low, still makes it affordable for our European cousins, despite any additional costs getting here :)
And I concur with the last sentence as well. Its not for me. Nor is Paris, which is essentially just like London, but smells more. Can't comment on Athens, as I've not been since I was about 2 ;D

Working in a multinational corporate company, with multinational suppliers and customers who I get to talk to regularly, it is most definitely not THE city. Its a city, but there are many others that people put higher. Sadly, in the case of some of our vendors, its London we drag them to ;D

I have been highly amused today listening to Labour apologists on Radio 4 re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. ;D ;D ;D

For me, touching on what DG mentioned, I cannot see how 27 countries all wanting different things could possibly work. This is one of the main reasons I voted leave. Square pegs, round holes etc.
Also to be in this less than perfect arrangement we probably pay a lot in. Forget the 350 million 'dangle berries' that was on the bus and I dont know how much nor do I really care. But itll be a lot. But these are the reasons. I personally dont believe we are a nobody country. But I do acknowledge we are not the empire we used to be.
As for London I like visiting. Soooo much history. And loads of cool things to see and do. ABSOLUTELY wouldnt want to live there.

Poland might be expelled !

Wont happen. The Germans might invade tehm, but they wont expel them.

Steve Bray "Mr STOOOOOOOOOP BREEEEEEEEXIT". Has hung up his megaphone at last. Hopefully he will be locked in a room with rubber walls wearing a jacket which does up at the back, and will never be seen or heard in public again.

No doubt his funding has dried up, so he's having to move out of his freebie flat in Westminster on the same street as JRM , and has to go back to his bedsit in Port Talbot. ::)
Nice gig for a while though! :y

I never thought I would hear myself saying this, but there was an excellent letter in The Times today from Jack Straw, asking the Labour excuse merchants, in short form: "Just what part of the farewell message handed to you and your left wing policies by the British Electorate do you not understand?"
:y :y :y

We moved out of London in 1987 , best thing we ever did lived in Norfolk for about a year & then over the border to Lincolnshire go down there once or twice a year for theatre & to visit my elderly aunt (95) would never move back to that aptly called " shithole".

Ah, but in that case a 48%/52% should go the way of the 48% :P
Tis ironic though ;D

Its bollix because it includes Labour as a remain party, which they weren't. They were a confused party sat on the fence and couldn't agree which way to face. And their leader was a Brexiteer when Farage was still at primary school.

Never unfortunately. ::)
As long as the EU exists there will be a faction that will want the UK to be a member, they will constantly campaign for that and it will be like a running sore that never heals. :(

Just seen this moron interviewed on tv. He said "we (the remainers) will never give up. We cant give up. We have Boris Jonnson as PM, its Germany in the 1930,s now, and look how that turned out."
All because a democratic vote went the way he didn't want. Words fail me.

Nothing we aren't used to, really.. look at Ireland/Eire. Scotland/England. Gibraltar/Spain. Falklands/Argentina. Now we just get to add EU/UK to the list, I guess, and wait for the EUA to start blowing things up?

Lets add Yorkshire England to your list. Support is growing :y

If that was true, this goon would have been dealt with by something like the SA and made to disappear quite some months ago, and the likes of Corbyn would also have been "eradicated" ::) ::) :D ;)

Nay, lad. When you speak of Yorkshire, people visualise the green and pleasant land that is North Yorkshire. It's not so green and pleasant in south, west or east.

Yorkshire is a place to stop on the way to Scotland to generate the miserable mood necessary to survive Scotland.
The Yorkies(that's what they're called isn't it?) willingly help you with this process :y

Ah but we take the rough with the smooth, suave and sophisticated.

Watching the News at 10 earlier I had to laugh at the sight of Boris and Jezza walking to the House of Lords for the Queen's speech, with Boris grinning like a cheshire cat and Jezza looking like he was on his way to an appointment with the Lord High Executioner! ;D

Boris tried to engage him a few times, but corbshit was having none of it, his face looked like a smacked arse.
