I am not dismissing poverty. I really feel for all the people globally that have nothing and little hope or ability to do anything about it. But that is not the situation in the UK. Why do you think it is that people are prepared to camp in Calais for a chance to come to the UK? Is France...

Please explain why that is Tony, because I think the opposite.

Completely disagree. 1) Poverty is defined as an income percentage of the average (something like 60% of the median I think). Therefore poverty is constant and caused by nothing. By definition it always exists. 2) Nobody in this country is poor on global standards unless they choose to be so...

Some good points Mart; I'd forgotten about Communism. Many of your points are similar to mine - how free movement is killing poorer countries: we need people to stay to become entrepreneurs in their native countries but it's much easier to move away. The gutter press is called the gutter...

The benefits of investment are dwarfed by the economic impact of EMU. Yes, they were poor before, but they could cope because they could control their own fx rate. Now they cannot. It's similar to me to the ERM debacle and GBP. It will all come crashing down in the same way IMO.

Free movement isn't bad in its own right; it's bad in the context of a currency that fails most of Europe.

OK, some poetic license with the dates. That's not important; people didn't move in their hundreds of thousands in 1957 because they didn't need to. They need to now because of the poverty imposed by EMU.

OK, so this is what I think; which I have stated before so you may recall. The EU wanted to be a economic superpower. And it decided to do that it needed a single currency. It implemented that without thinking through the consequences and so now the entirely predictable outcomes are very...

I hope you are right.

They are not related, don't be embarrassed. It's still the right decision IMO but there will be unpleasant people who reach the right decision for the wrong reasons.

We are only in a predicament in the opinion of remainers. Why these seemingly unrelated rules? I have an opinion, which I've already shared. What reason do you give for them?

I distance myself from homophobia; racism; non-democratic behaviour; playing party politics with issues important for the whole of Europe and name-calling to replace empathy and reasoned debate. There shouldn't have to be a choice between hard and soft Brexit. We have a choice because comments...

It's disappointing to see some leave supporters now behaving as badly as the remainers. There was some shadow cabinet Brown lookalike on the news this morning pointing out that you don't have to reveal everything; but let's go through the correct process.

M I'm reading it :)

Why would Nick include quotations not relevant to his point? (Not citing anything to avoid an eye-bashing)

Manually.

Wouldn't do the horses - it's over too quickly and you don't get time to hedge a position.

I used to do this for about 3 years - laying and betting and picking up the spread. I focused on League Winner in the Championship and Leagues 1 and 2 because I discovered that on Saturday afternoons the market became less liquid and every club who won shortened significantly and then later...

Yep; 87th minute. City with 20 shots to their one. Everyone says we were robbed.

No reason to suspect you will pay more. Fixed rate mortgages are based off interest rate swap rates in the London derivatives market. They are calculated to be neutral against the market's expectations on future base rates.
