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.

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.

| Quote: |  | | | The business moves, other economies strengthen in relation to a weakened currency. It’s pretty basic economics really. Unless I am missing something here? Please enlighten me. | | | | | 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.

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

| Quote: | | | | | 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.

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

The brand has just failed to become a success in Europe.

Theresa May’s deal has been defeated again by 391 votes to 242 - a majority of 149

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