Farage isn't too keen on immigrants, you continually voice your vile hatred of boomers. Little to choose between you.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -
I've repeatedly pondered and discussed the concept but, unless done so inadvertently, I have never once claimed the UK is creating business value faster (or vice versa) than it's being sold to foreigners.
Many are implying that the sale of UK companies is unmitigated good news. Maybe you should start correcting them instead of arguing about the relative rates of business creation and sale.
indeed before brexit vote, many pro EU people were arguing that large amounts of inward investment was a direct positive result our being firmly in the EU.
you (inadvertently maybe) seemed to support that proposition;
I'm glad you now recognise that inward investment has a significant downside.0 -
Repatriation of a foreign national is a legal nightmare.....it often takes years and you need the co-operation of the receiving country in any event!
Once again this is because soppy liberals create weakness in the system.
Deport those claiming they are stateless / playing the system to a desert camp (Morocco for example might be happy to host it - they helped with extraordinary rendition in the past) where they can drag their heals and claim they are from nowhere for as long as they like.
We need pragmatism back in society, not more hand wringing0 -

So what?
Inward investment happens because the investor thinks they can make a return. Some of that can be directly related to EU membership - it would be hard to envisage Nissan building their Sunderland plant if the UK was trading with the EU using WTO terms for example.I'm glad you now recognise that inward investment has a significant downside.
Maybe mention that next time someone other than a remain voter suggests inward investment is a good thing?
Not that I agree. I recognise that there are positives and negatives but not convinced that the overall impact is negative.
Do you find seeing everything in black and white a curse or a blessing?0 -
UK moves up 'best for business' list despite Brexit fears
Forbes cited improved UK scores on corruption and tax burden plus an upturn in the stock market as it published the annual list.

Yeah, anyone against setting up concentration camps in a North African desert is such a soppy liberal.0 -
You see Conrad this is the kind of post that really winds me up. You clearly know nothing in relation to the law on this. Why don't you at least respond to what someone says to you instead of just coming out with your prejudices. You need international co-operation and reciprocal agreements....nothing to do with being liberal or hand wringing. You can't stick someone on a plane unless you have such agreements. You also have to take account of their human rights because if you don't their lawyer will sue. It's called due process. Only countrys which are undemocratic ignore it! The same human rights that apply to you in your life apply to everyone else!Once again this is because soppy liberals create weakness in the system.

all seems very sensible
I try to stick to the economics where this is applicable
so I post that
-supply and demand determine price
if supply increase more than demand then price tends to fall
if demand increases and supply doesn't respond the price tends to rise
I comment on the UK current a/c deficit and note the consequences are increase in foreign exchange borrowing, sale of UK assets and decline in inflow of dividend
I also note that situations with a lerge deficit tend to lead to a fall in the value of the currency which often leads to interest rate rises.
of course there are also inter-relationships which allow different interpretations of the same theory and the same facts0 -

12 people are dead and don't have the luxury of being wound up. And it was all so avoidable with just a bit of common sense and realism (so lacking on the left.). Cameron was right. Full Stop. End off.
Merkel is an idiot. She was wrong about the refugees and she was wrong in the way she dealt with Brexit. I feel sorry for the Germans no matter who they vote for - they always end up with Merkel.0 -

Nissan already have a plant and a complex supply chain in place. Along with an established highly trained workforce. Upping sticks and moving elsewhere isn't that straightforward.0
