  1. Must be correct. Seeing the video evidence I'm sure the jury will reach the correct verdict.
  2. Brexit benefits: Reduced vulnerability to international shocks Former Treasury economist and fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Julian Jessop, says that leaving the EU has “reduced our vulnerability to international shocks” in the market. The ONS agreed, saying the UK “may be more resilient to global supply chain disruption than other economies” due to supply chain changes made because of Brexit. Increased use of domestic suppliers The ONS also released figures in 2022 showing that businesses had moved to using more UK suppliers since the end of the transition period that followed the country’s withdrawal from the EU – a big boost for UK businesses. This trend has continued in 2023, with nearly three quarters of businesses reporting that they were able to get all the goods they needed within the UK without any disruption. Less EU restrictions After Brexit, the UK is less restricted by some EU regulations. It is argued that a positive result of Brexit has been an ability to trade more freely with non-EU markets – for example, the US and Australia. The UK is putting in place new trade agreements with many non-EU countries around the world. Increased opportunity for growth Emerging markets such as Brazil, China, and South Africa account for more consumer spending every year. The fall of the pound makes British products cheaper for international markets, which could make them more appealing and benefit exporters. Simplifying the reporting burdens for small and medium companies The government is reviewing the thresholds retained in EU law and the filing requirements for businesses that file micro-entity accounts, aiming to reduce the reporting burden on many small companies. In May 2022, it issued a press release saying that 350 EU rules were to be ditched “creating simpler, more flexible and transparent procurement.” The government said these would “level the playing field for SMEs and drive economic growth across the UK.”
  3. Remainer pressure group piece, which falsely links a fall in UK trade due to Brexit, by ignoring trade in services, when the overall trade data demonstrates no such effect: Keep digging, ladies...
  4. If the above hasn't educated you, my other favourite source for debunking the net zero scam here, should do, for those that give a shit and can spare an hour to learn.
  5. The UN is at it, as usual:
  6. Read the paper.
  7. In anticipation of the ad-hominem attack on the author of the paper I referenced above, Katelyn N. Larossa is currently an Analyst at the United States Department of Defense. A seminal paper.
  8. The above is taken from this paper which pretty well sums up my long held opinion on the net zero scam. It also explains what net zero has to do with Marxism. HTH
  9. Like I said, an instructive read. Good summary above, with the important bits highlighted.
  10. So, you didn't read the report referenced above, did you?
  11. Fort those that are interested in the details, here's the report that forms the basis of the argument that Brexit has not affected UK trade. Try and park your prejudices and study the facts. Who knows, you may learn something and build your knowledge. I did.
  12. What is it, an idiots convention today? Where does that extract say the UK trade growth is solely due to inflation? Of course adjustments have to be made. That is a fucking million miles away from saying the UK trade growth is solely due to inflation, as your special needs pal above, posted.
  13. A statement after the last budget.
  14. And in respect of the OBR's predictions, you really are having a laugh: OBR's GDP predictions (%) Forecast year Prediction Actual Miss* Growth was: 2015 2.7 2.6 0.1 Worse 2015 2.8 2.6 0.2 Worse 2016 3 2.3 0.7 Worse 2017 2.8 2.1 0.7 Worse 2018 2.5 1.7 0.8 Worse 2019 2.4 1.7 0.7 Worse 2020 2.1 -11 13.1 Worse 2021 1.5 7.5 -6 Better 2021 1.4 7.5 -6.1 Better 2021 1.6 7.5 -5.9 Better 2021 1.8 7.5 -5.7 Better 2021 4 7.5 -3.5 Better While you're in comedy mode, tell me the one about the UK trade growth being solely due to inflation again.
  15. I was posting about CO2 levels, not climate change. Dangers of climate change? 🤣 You really are a moron. Read the post again without dribbling on your keyboard.
  16. Looks like King Charles was reading this post:
  17. I'm obviously not as smart as you, so help me on this one. You are saying that the growth in UK exports is purely down to inflation. I assume you've corrected for the change in the value of sterling, as the dollar, the safe haven, has risen inexorably? On the other part of your "argument" I happen to think that the policies of Liz Truss, although badly implemented and communicated, i.e. high growth, low tax, were correct. Pity they weren't properly funded, but they will be, soon. As far as "denying climate change" who the fuck denies climate change? Certainly not the IEA. Maybe they "deny" the massive con that is "net zero". Only a terminally dim Marxist would think "net zero" is a good idea. It's a .03% CO2 okay and .05% CO2 millions die, type of idea. Listen, the truth is that at less than 0.015% CO2, all life on earth dies. Net zero, a method by anti-capitalists and some green capitalists to relocate trillions of dollars. I'm a fossil fuel/CO2 fan.
  18. UK exports to EU countries climbed by 13.5pc between 2019 and 2022, before and after Brexit, with exports to non-EU countries growing by 14.3pc. Meanwhile, UK services exports rose by 14.8pc to EU nations and 22.1pc to non-EU countries over the same period. What data do you have that contradicts those figures? I thought not...jog on pal.
  19. Another nail in the coffin of Remainer delusions:
  20. I know that ice hockey can be physical, like WWE on ice, but fuck me, Matt Petgrave ,simply drop kicked Adam Johnson with his blades. The aftermath was horrendous and I hope he gets banged up. That was no accident.
  21. What they want as I don't pay a license fee to them. Now, Channel 4....
  22. Add to the list anti-Semitic reporting and a failure to call Hamas "terrorists" and the Beeb will soon be going the way of many of the ghastly paedophiles they overpaid, with our money. What a horrible organisation they have become. Defund, now!

    Tragic as it may appear, eventually it will turn out to be "Might is Right". In the long term the pain will recede and memories fade, I'm so glad we have no skin in the game. Realising how lucky we are to live in the UK may be the only good to come out of this.

    I think the genesis of the problems in Palestine occurred towards the end of the First World War. The remnants of the Ottoman Empire chose the wrong side and the victors, France and Great Britain in the main got to decide what happened with Palestine. In fact, it was the League of Nations, a precursor to the UN, that decided, by granting a mandate to the British over Palestine. Add to the mix the Balfour declaration below and you have the seeds sown which leads us to the current tragic events: It's worth reading the Balfour declaration, which to me, was a fair and hopeful statement. Anyone that has watched Lawrence of Arabia, a Romsey lad, will understand how the British helped the Arabs drive the Turks out of the Middle East. The problem has been that every evil empire since has tried to subvert the situation, largely based not on politics, but religion. The worst of these is Iran. The US in 1979, during the Carter administration, allowed the Iranians to get away with murder and kidnapping, when the US Embassy staff were taken hostage. Carter, the weakest US President in history, gave in, just as Biden did recently. As Kipling said, many years ago, when the Vikings did the same thing as Hamas in England:
