And finally Odey clearly should stop following Boris’ tips as the fund he runs (swan Fund) performance has been crap and has lost money since the referendum so not exactly making the easy millions suggested.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings.Quote:

:Ummm::Ummm::Ummm:
The money markets are responding with great optimism at the news that a deal is imminent. The pound is now at an 18 month high against the euro. If you're going eurozone in the next few months, and have spare cash just lying around, then get yours while you can because I suspect a small crash will swiftly follow when reality bites
Looks like Johnson can't get the DUP onside.
They need to change their name to the democratic No Party as that’s all they ever do.Quote:

How the fffff folk can't see this is beyond me.
Mark Francois losing it a bit on BBC news when the loud hailer guy was shouting over him.
Called him an idiot and was clearly getting to him.
Absolute outrage if the nation was being denied the chance to hear his words of wisdom. What was he trying to say, that his dad would never have laid down his arms in the way that Johnson's now contemplating?Quote:

Couldn't we have had this deal 2 years ago.?

It was ever thus. Their nationalism comes first before anything else. Loyalty to the flag is more important to them than any concern for the economic well being of Scotland.Quote:

Not surprising. Not sure even with DUP support it would pass. How many expelled former Tories will support?Quote:

Ah no, you see because it's only the imminent threat of No Deal and the overblown hype about Surrender, Betrayal, Traitors, etc - in other words the marvellous negotiating and oratorical skills of the present PM - that have brought EU dictators to their knees and obliged them to agree to re-open the Withdrawal Act.Quote:
