	Congratulations to Geoffrey Cox, Attorney General, for resisting considerable political pressure when writing his opinion. No challenge to Blueangel!

I think the lesson here is what happened Goldsmith's reputation after the legal advice that he gave over Iraq. No self respecting lawyer would want to suffer the same.

I think we've all had enough of James O'Brien's brain farts. Especially since your mate Rees-Mogg went on his show and made a complete fool of him.

Wow, is that really how you saw that interview go?

I mean, really?

Question is, when this vote gets smashed down again tonight, will Theresa May finally go? It could be the case now that the government will get brought down. With this legal advice it's clear that not only is she a hopeless negotiator, but that she's also not trustworthy.

I particularly like the last point...

Errr, yeah?

How does this work?

Still waiting for JRM to answer a question, any question.

That was a one-time effect as it happened in a short time, but not in the following years. Actually the GBP has gained back some of those losses afterwards.

So the question remains unanswered.

Anyways, Somerset Capital is a capital management company. They make their money from managing and investing other people's money, not from the gains off those investments (although they need to be competitive of course). Brexit has no effect on that.

Yeah.

Just listened to the whole thing. I guess it helps explain where your views come from if you think that.

	The change in the law a couple of years ago made trusts much less of a tax dodge, bringing trusts that previously had tax advantages back into the system. We have seen from the accounts that he has huggable taxable income, why would a wealthy person risk prison due to tax evasion? It really does not make any sense. Not really anymore for a UK domiciled resident other than ISA's open to everybody, pensions have a tiny limit & benefits are taxable. Unless they are 100% legal it's not worth someone in public life taking such a risk, plenty of jealous lefties trying to catch him out. Anyway it's his wife who is really rich from inherited wealth, not JRM

It's a real eye-opener that in this Brexit frenzy over the past two plus years how the Leavers have cast all self-respect aside in favour of holding the hardline Brexiteers in some kind of infallible deity status.

The excruciating lengths that they go to to defend, simper, excuse and shield is quite breath-taking.

I have my own view on politics but cannot for one second believe that anyone is as god-like as is sometimes portrayed here. Everyone has their faults and everyone has their price. Especially those in power and especially those who are used to privilege and favour.

Just hope you're not going to be disappointed - it's a long, long way to crash.

Maybe that's why I'm in favour of the EU. They seem to be able to see right through all the bullshit.

	So who is then? & what is/was your point?

In short it was just an observation that the Leave supporters seem willing to go to extraordinary cringey lengths to swallow any kind of bullshit, provided it comes from their hardline Brexiteers.

Don't you think to question anything that comes from them?

What they say seems to make perfect sense, the UK will be better out of the EU preferably with no deal. Can't wait

Nissan is ending the production of the Infiniti Q30 and QX30 sport utility vehicle in the United Kingdom, by the middle of this year. Luckily nothing to do with Brexit.

Nissan said in early February that it would reverse plans to build its X-Trail model in Britain, choosing instead to manufacture the SUV in Japan

Wonder why they no longer view Western Europe as a good market for luxury vehicles; it is a real puzzle?

How often do you see an Infiniti?
The brand has just failed to become a success in Europe.

I should have taken the Clueangel challenge
Theresa May’s deal has been defeated again by 391 votes to 242 - a majority of 149

Fish Paste · #**18378** 12.03.2019, 20:30

Well, looking a lot like no deal Brexit now.

#**18379** 12.03.2019, 20:31

I'm starting to think that just maybe there are some people in Britain who aren't so keen on this Brexit idea.

Or no Brexit, you can just drop the "deal" part. Let's see how the next vote goes.
