OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

[swaledale]

yo yo yo peasants.

Happy Brexit day.

Feel happy that we are not now part of the £400 billion loan the EU has taken out, rising to 1 trillion over the next 5 years as they look to over come their short sightedness sidling up to Putin.
happy days

This would be the Putin who it seems funded and supported Brexit? The Putin that Johnson and the Conservative party have been very close to and happy to take money from no questions asked? The Putin whose Oligarchs money has been willingly laundered through London with no protest from the Government? That Putin?

Yet apparently according to you, expert on international relations that you are, it was a mistake to work with Russia to see if economic trade and rapprochement might be encourage them to be less hostile?

Still wait nd see if Trump gets back in power before your blindness and ignorance lead to claims that make you look just a little silly!!

[SithHappens]

No, still wish we were in the EU

Pot and kettle again Fail, never cover the whole picture do you?
The Labour party is said to have received hundreds of thousands in donations from investor and hedge fund manager Martin Taylor since 2012 - including up to £95,000 to Sir Keir Starmer’s 2020 leadership campaign. Mr Taylor co-managed the Nevsky fund, which had significant investments in the Russian economy, holding stocks in Russia’s state-owned bank Sberbank, its oil producer Lukoil, as well as its multinational energy corporation Gazprom.

Putin trade-
yearh how did that work out then?
Lets trade with Putin and let him control the energy flow. Then when he does what he wants, he threatens to turn the taps off and has us bricking ourselves.
I'm glad you don't pull the strings Fail, we'd all be in jack boots or gulags by now.

Still wish we are liable for the trillion loan as well? More basket cases to bail out soon.
Oh the joys

They fixed the dial up in Notts then.

That’s worthy of a lol

Nah he'll have returned from his winter sojourn in Thailand, where a functioning dictatorship is the way to go apparently.

Oh you really are a rather dim aren't you? For one, we weren't talking about Labour, for two you were erroneously suggesting that being out of the EU meant we were free from Russian influence, when actually if you knew anything, you would see it suits Putin just fine for the EU to be weaker.

Well I don't ever recall you flagging up the dangers of trading with Russia before but in any case, your looking in the wrong direction, the real threat comes from elsewhere.

Your comment about jack boots and gulags is ironic, your the one that would have made a "good" German back in the day. I mean it was you lauding the military dictatorship that is Thailand as the way to go?

[SithHappens]

Off topic, but as tricky has appeared again genuinely would like to get his take on the going ons down the road.

It is amazing that in all the budget commentary almost no attention is paid to Brexit costing £40bn of lost annual tax revenue. The OBR, Goldman Sachs, Tony Blair Institute and the Centre for European Reform all estimate lost output at a minimum of 4%GDP
