People like Crispin Odey who made £330 Million on shorting the pound ahead of the Brexit Referendum; and James Hanbury. Also Sir Paul Marshall who was instrumental in persuading Gove (and hence Johnson) to change from Remain to Leave.

They are definitely just waiting in the wings for things to go south and then swoop in to get UK assets at rock bottom prices. Hey who cares about huge social disruption, food shortages and increased mortality rates. That's a price they're willing to pay. :rolleyes:

Maybe not quite swooping in, but ...lawyers.
They are going to have a field day with Brexit.

Actually, the same person wrote both - William Rees Mogg. They would be excellent posters but Jacob has a large majority. Still, no harm in sticking it to Jacob at every opportunity.

This is what the EU needs to get their head around.

On the contrary, the UK needs to get it's head around the fact that they are not calling the shots, they do not hold all the cards, and they can't plonk some gunboats outside Brussels and metaphorically threaten to open fire - that's sooo last century.

It is not the EU that is holding up Brexit. It is the utter inability of the UK government to get a deal that is acceptable to their own Parliament.
The EU, for their part, has an agreed deal on the table.

This is what the EU needs to get their head around.

How bloody hard is it to understand.

The EU are not stopping the UK leaving. The EU are not doing anything.

The UK envoked Article 50, the UK cannot reach agreement within parliament, the UK asked for an extension still couldn't reach a consensus and asked for a second extension which it pissed away on a Tory leadership competition, a holiday, a tory internal civil war.

This is a UK clusterfu*k for the UK to resolve. The EU is stuck dealing with the collateral damage and a Tory party trying to do what they have allways dome blame the EU when things go wrong..

The EU are not stopping Brexit the UK are..

So the new leader of the EU, what's her face, Ulrika, nobody cares is now rowing back on the EU army talk after the US made it clear it was 100% behind the UK brexit and was planning to use its support to put the EU back in its box. Nobody is surprised at this.

The US followed by the UK are NATO and the rest are tinpot militaries who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

UK needs to take a leaf out of the US playbook more and talk at the EU and not to it...much better results that way when dealing with the most paper of tigers.

Do you ever do any research before you post?

Gina Miller's case was unsuccessful in the High Court - it won't be heard by the Supreme Court until 17th Sept.

A legal challenge over Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament has been rejected in the High Court.

The case was brought by businesswoman Gina Miller, who argued the move was "an unlawful abuse of power".

Rejecting Ms Miller's case, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett said she could immediately appeal because of the important points of law at stake.

The appeal is expected to be heard at the Supreme Court on 17 September.

Eh, Germany, France, Italy: tinpot militaries???

Do you really think the EU could take the UK sabre rattling as anything other than a complete and utter joke??? Thrumpeteer is 100% behind Brexit (subject to wind changes of course), not the US (they give less than a crap tbh), regardless of what you might think.

You clearly don't have a clue and despite all your internet talk I actually know about this....even every bit of the islands you mentioned.

It would be faster today then back then, that's how easy it would be.

Maybe he has some special plants for bridges laying around after the Thames Garden Bridge fiasco he needs shot of...

Of the total spent by the Garden Bridge Trust, £43m was public money – £24m from Transport for London and £19m from the Department for Transport, TfL said on Wednesday.

The rest of the money came from donations to the trust, or fundraising activities.

The final sum has been reached after an official review into the costs of ending and winding up the project, which collapsed amid acrimony in August 2017. The review decided that a final £5.5m in DfT funding should be given to the trust as part of the cancellation agreement.

Announcing the figures, TfL said the eventual cost was significantly lower than it could have been. However, serious questions remain about how the project was able to spend so much money, and the extent to which the then London mayor, Boris Johnson, backed the scheme.

The figures show that 40% of the money, £21.4m, went to the French-based contractors Bouygues. The trust faced significant criticism for signing a construction contract before all the stipulated conditions for work to begin had apparently been completed.

Johnson signed a directive as mayor in 2016 which watered down some of the conditions that had to be met before more public money was released. Questioned by the London assembly last year on why he did this, Johnson said he could not remember.

1824

In 1785 Friedrich Schiller wrote the poem "An die Freude'' as a celebration of the brotherhood of man. In 1824 Beethoven wrote the music.

Its a celebration of peace and the brotherhood of man. Both the poet and the composer wanted it to be a gift to people. "This kiss to the entire world"
The poem talking of Joy being the motivator.

It's lyrics are about running to the goal of being united with joy being our motivator.

Joy will embrace everyone. And we will all be brothers and sisters.

It was adopted in 1972.

The alternative title is ''all men shall be brothers. ''

It's refrain is 'All men shall be brothers'.

Brexiters of course have turned their backs on Beethoven!

It's not any anthem for any normal person. Couple of soy boys who want to be dominated maybe.
