You can find a lawyer to say just about anything.
The authority is with the Executive (the Cabinet), not with the Parliament. Day to day Parliament has little authority, their purpose is scrutiny of decisions made by the Executive, and voting on legislation. |

It appears women can be better leaders than man. Seems to me May and Merkel have very good understanding:

Who knows? Is it a move to stop the UK leaving? If we leave without a trade deal, our economy will suffer, lots of lost jobs so we're in a catch 22.
The only thing I know is every economic indicator is pointing towards recession so I'm going to spend a ton of money on my August holiday as a last 'big one' and then batten down the hatches. With my property rented out, I'll be fine. Landlords without mortgages are OK in recessionary periods because no-one has money to buy. One of my other businesses is very busy at the moment but suspect that will die in a year or 2.
If sterling drops and UK inflation rises further (it will rise considerably), that will cause me problems so to hedge, I'm going to buy something in another country. Maybe shares, maybe just currency.
Either way, I have no idea what the financial future holds beyond the coming recession and short term inflation. ____________________ FZR400 (blown engine), ZXR750 (blown engine), ZX6R (accident), CBR600 which had engine issues after which I learned to change gear..., CBR900, CBR924 (stolen), CB600, CB1300 (everything blew up), BMW K1300GT (written off, hit from rear while stationary), Bandit 1250 for a couple of months, Triumph Sprint ST 1050 (nicked) and somewhere in there, I wrote off a Ducati 748 at Cadwell. |

I see the French are up to their usual game of "piss off the English".
There are queue's of around 8 hours to cross the Channel via Dover because French authorities have stepped up border control on this side of the Channel.
Nothing wrong with that you might think. Well, there wouldn't be if the French hadn't also decided to only open 3 of it's 7 booths to cope with the extra demand and extra checks. There was only 1 of 7 border control booths open last night, during utter chaos building up on Kent motorways. Each coach was taking 40 minutes to check. How many coaches an hour do you think pass through Dover?
Quote: |
French Border Authorities have been operating at a heightened level of security.
However, the French border control booths have been seriously understaffed overnight with only three booths available for tourists out of a potential seven.
At one stage, only one French officer was available to check passengers on hundreds of coaches, resulting in each coach taking 40 minutes to process.
The Port of Dover, which has no authority over French border operations, raised concerns over French manning levels with the UK Government earlier this week and the Government, in turn, raised the issue with its French counterparts. The current wait remains lengthy and passengers should contact ferry operators for information, consider delaying their departure, and ensure they have plenty of water and food with them if deciding to travel.
The Port shares and appreciates the frustration of the travelling public. We are doing all we can as a responsible port operator. Our Chief Executive has just spoken with our Dover MP Charlie Elphicke to help us escalate this once again at Government level. |
No doubt there'll be a few strikes thrown in for good measure now. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

If we leave without a trade deal, it's not us who loses out the most. Making EU imports more expensive could be a very good thing for our manufacturing and farming industries, who are currently being undercut by cheap EU prodcuts.

You can say that again. I'd say the smart money is to buy in the UK, the rise of the FTSE100 of almost 12% since the referendum to a record high since last August shows others do too. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

UK manufacturing is shit and expensive.
4 months overdue for parts, some of which were no bigger than my thumbnail. In fact, they even manufactured them WRONG. Despite drawing the plans themselves. That delayed the process by a month.
It's no wonder we rely on making money by playing with invisible things.
You call EU manufacturing, but they can provide complete components built from high quality materials, to inspecting body standards, with less fuss and delay. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

don't know why everyone seems so keen to put England down and big up the EU, especially on manufacturing.
couple of months ago I had to order some CNC tooling from the machine manufacturer (have go go through them to keep warranty) in France, they were so badly made they didn't even fit their own machine then when I got some replacements the "stainless steel" they are made from has rusted more in 3 months than others have in 7 years. ____________________ killa wrote: Im an ass man myself |

When components on ships are made all over the EU, Holland, Germany, France, even Italy, Spain and Latvia, because they are better than what our so called great country can make, I think it does say a lot.
And bnp72's experience doesn't mean all foreigners/muzzy/dolescum are cuntbags, but it does in his head.
Tell me why the NERC vessel, being built in a British shipyard, isn't using mainly British components? Because the country once at the forefront of shipbuilding and Maritime sector, now can't provide the parts to build them? ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Maybe because under EU competition rules, all government contracts must go out to tender so all member states can put a bid in and the cheapest gets the deal. Isn't it against EU rules for the UK government to just give the work to a UK firm?

Or because we are more than capable of the quality, but struggle to compete with the EU on price? It's no co-incidence that we make many of the parts for the aerospace industry. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

What UK manufacturing is superior? Yes, we have some of the worlds best engineers and designers. But manufacturers, we are not any more. |
Aerospace... You know, Rolls Royce etc...

I really wish your extremely simple explanation of the world was true. I really, really do. Unfortunately, too many years of experience mean I see the strings.
For example, the FTSE100 increase is being sold to me as a way of hedging against the localisation effects of Brexit and the investor herd is buying because of this. i.e. £ will drop further but FTSE 100 companies are more international so they will benefit from our lower currency. As an aside, no-one is pretending our FTSE100 firms won't sell more but they will benefit from the effects of a lower currency.
I have 3 income streams. Brexit is pushing one up in the short term but am predicting it will die in around 9 months. A second is rock solid in a recession although a lower £ means inflation. Finally, my third is delayed but I think it might work although I don't know.

So, with the IMF predicting the UK will out perform Germany and France over the coming year, maybe you could invest in lesser performing EU countries, to make sure you earn less from your investments, whilst sticking 2 fingers up to the Leave camp at the same time? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
