BREXIT - Is This Really Still Rumbling On? 😴

Yes, it's a total shitshow of an interview. “So now we have a government which is completely against enterprise in any form. You don’t encourage inward investment by raising corporation tax or encourage people to work by freezing the thresholds so they’re paying a higher tax. Rishi’s frozen them for the next six years, so that takes us past the next election. You don’t reduce the threshold to the [additional] rate of tax, which was £150,000 before; the Conservatives reduced it to £125,000. As if people earning £125,000 are rich!”Stevo_666 said:

Also: "There’s a whole Remainer contingency [saying], ‘Oh, we must get back into the European Union’, as if the European Union was a great example of thriving economies. It’s completely the opposite. Europe is in decline. Italy, for example, has had no new growth since it joined the euro. " which he combines with: "I speak Italian, a large part of my business is in Italy and if I was in Italy I’d be able to expand quicker than I could sitting here, so it might be something to do anyway from a business point of view."0 -

He sees a Labour Govt as the final straw, the heavy lifting was done by a flip flopping anti-business Tory Party.
And don’t forget that in my eyes you are mr leftiebollox as bizarrely the tvvat is echoing my own opinion.

He backed Brexit because he wanted no tax, so forgive my cynicism if he happens to chose a country that offers a massive tax break if he moves there.Stevo_666 said:

So you agree with me that tax incentives do cause people and businesses to move between countries?rick_chasey said:

He is Italian by descent and has strong ties there. That said, it looks like he doesn't want to get punished by Labour for being successful, which is what he has said. Who can blame him?"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Surprising in some ways there hasn't been more adverse reaction to the two-tier citizenship.

Handy to have the option which passport I want to travel on depending on the destination. Just pick the shorter queue
Also keeps retirement abroad an easy option
So, yeah.

Yep. Same for me, my wife and kids. Made up that they have Irish passports and my kids could work anywhere in Europe when they grow up a lot more easily then their UK counterparts.tailwindhome said:

Stand out stuff from the EU. Anyone needing a swap needs to wait until the afternoon, so they can trade it in the US. No doubt at a premium.rick_chasey said:0 -
You've got to hand it Farage - he certainly knows how to keep the media interested in him, this morning's effort being in admitting that "Brexit has failed".0

Great. Top marks. Against advice from everyone with any understanding of the industry, the amount of Euro swaps cleared in the EU is less than half in a, presumably cherry picked, month.rick_chasey said:

In an ideal world working holiday visas could be introduced with more countries as Brexit has undoubtedly meant a loss in that area. At the moment, the following can work in the UK, and there are similar opportunities in the other direction e.g. Brits can work in Iceland.tailwindhome said:

He said what I posted in the article above. Sure he said other things in it but leaving the UK if Labour gets in was pretty clear.surrey_commuter said:

The hilarious logic of this - all food for UK supermarkets will bear the label 'Not for sale in EU' so no difference is made between products for the GB and the UK markets.tailwindhome said:Superb work all round

Car manufacturers appear to have not got the message as told earlier.

The problem here isn’t a short period of high inflation. These things are cyclical and it’s inevitable these periods will happen.
The problem is why her lot have promoted/created/facilitated an economy where for many full time workers, the remuneration simply isn’t enough to survive on.
Basic wages have been squeezed to the bare bones so huge swathes of the workforce have no headroom for inflation.0 -
Don't worry, Labour are limbering up in the wings ready to outdo any Johnsonn rhetoric. You run a business so good luck if they do get in.skyblueamateur said:
