I am sure Trump didn't know that. Also China in the 60s was no where near as militarily capable as today. I don't think that rhetoric frightens North Korea because they know China will never allow the USA to take action on the Korean Peninsula.

Although "fire and fury like the world has never seen before" comes very near...

Which is why I said I would be careful of doing that.

On his head?

Ok. I believe you. Any info on Trump? Might explain a lot.

No. I said that if everyone signs pledges to go to war, then it could quickly escalate - as has happened before. China will never allow North Korea to fall to Western powers. We would follow a resolution from the UN.

No. But I think Labour is too tolerant of it.

Did you not read Dave's chart on anti semitism? More chance of being a Tory.

North Korea is not the problem. China would be involved if push comes to shove. If everyone commits to fire and fury and then it kicks off.. then we have the situation as at the start of WW1. I wouldn't be signing any deals pledging us to involvement.

In the case of us ..we are starting from afresh.., we were 40 years in the EU. Now everyone knows we have to catch up.... do you think that we are in a stronger position than other countries?

Yes you are in the playground. History tells you many things. Usually when you have to go with the begging bowl you lose out. Have fun in the playground....

Quote from today's paper: “The longer the talks seem to go nowhere the worse it gets for sterling,” said Neil Wilson, a senior market analyst at ETX capital

Not really. The consequences are different, but the premise isn't. There was no way May could come back with nothing. A piece of paper about an agreement to have an agreement- according to Dave offering our armed forces as a carrot - is what is being bigged up to keep the heat off. There are...

Well there you go...... shfwhf if we have to trade our armed forces for a trade deal we would have access to through the EU.

Germany has a far higher portion of GDP from manufacturing and exporting goods than the U.K. . Our strong point is financial services - which we are now going to partly sacrifice so that e.g. Postal workers in Chatham feel that people are at last basing policies on their views.

Falling steadily? I transferred money before Brexit at 1,40. Then more at 1,14. Now it's 1,07. that is in just over 1 year and, significantly, since the Brexit cock up. Do they? Do you know that we will ever get out of this low point? If so when? The bond prices reflect the amount of risk...

No, but the Euro is obviously not the crap currency you'd like it to be.

When Chamberlain went to Germany he got a scrap of paper which he bigged up to take the pressure off himself..... some accounts even claim it was put together quickly in the hotel lift on the way to the foyer. Sounded great, but the rest is history. May got a piece of paper promising a deal...

The euro is gaining in strength against the dollar and the pound- I'n glad I've got more Euros than Pounds... This is no deal yet with Japan. The EU has a deal with Japan which we would use if we were in the EU. Just because your prediction was right on one subject doesn't mean it will be on...

May and the U.K. Are under pressure because of Brexit. There was no way May was going to come back with nothing. We don't know what was discussed behind closed doors, but we do know that a 'scrap of paper' doesn't necessarily count for hard facts. Any deal has been kicked two years down the...
