    Methinks readers of this thread will note the constant attempts by some to provoke unpleasant disagreement.
    Just as they will note a distinct lack of contribution other than the aforesaid provocation. ;)


    Appeals to the 'crowd'.

    Delivering the story his readers want to read. Again full of unnamed sources excepting Barnier who confirms Mrs May's speech will be "very important".

    "Former ECB board member says EU rules could pose bank run risks"

    European Union rules on winding down failing banks could increase the risk of bank runs, a former board member of the European Central Bank said, reigniting a debate triggered by the collapse of Spain’s Banco Popular.

  • You've posted the same thing about 10 minutes ago.
    You discounted it so I posted more sources so you could read them too. ;)

    As the last thread has been trashed, could we perhaps start again?

    Anyone who wishes to continue the slanging match, please continue posting on the other one.

    The Daily Mail piece is verbatim the same article - it even says Reuters in the link.

    The Standard is based on the same story and is verified by Mr. U. Source.

    It may well be true - what's it got to do with Brexit?

    What about the stuff that couldn't go to the devolved parliaments because of the EU but are now going to Westminster?
    I don't remember any such powers, but even so it's all open to depate. If Scotland really want a power, they can argue for it in parliament, if they win they can have the power. If they lose they don't. Scotland can't really complain about not having powers they've never had.

    Or the ability to modify any laws "for brexit" without running it passed parliament?
    Only for two years and then parliament will have to pass any amendments. It seems perfectly sensible. If someone finds a loophole in the Great Repeal Bill and the transfer of laws from EU to UK courts then it makes sense to allow ministers to quickly plug those holes, instead of allowing people to exploit loopholes until parliament can provide a permanent fix.

    What about all the eu regulations we'll have to mirror without any say in them?
    Hardly worth worrying about. We don't have to mirror anything. We can create our own safety regulations if we want. Doesn't really matter.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    By Brexit loon do you mean Dennis Skinner? Dennis has spent his whole life looking out for the interests of working class people - while you support Tony Blair - who has spent his whole life making himself rich.

    Really who is the loon (or hypocrite)?

    If you're on the opposite side to working class people and on the side of the rich elites - you are on the wrong side.

    Ask Dennis.

    They're all confused, they follow so many pied pipers they tie themselves in knots, not realising the very roots of their political leanings are the very same people they now despise.
    The left sees things differently. They hold up democracy as a cornerstone of their thinking but are the first people to throw it into the trash when it gets in their way. It is no surprise that all historical radical left wing revolutions have led to dictatorial rule. Their response to the Brexit situation is typical of their ilk. They attack democracy, and more importantly, they attack the people exercising their democratic will. Those people? The white working class of the UK.

    Soon as the results came in they were quick to blame their loss on those pesky ignorant, racist, xenophobic, blue collar, working class whites.

    You see when the left needs votes to win an election all of a sudden these elitist, highly educated, upper middle class academics talk about their solidarity with the struggling working class. They uphold unions and socialism as their salvation and decry capitalism. Soon as that working class shows any inclination to go against their radical regressive, SJW, moral relativist agenda, they crucify them at the stake.

    That is when the subtle condescending attacks against their "education” or their “racial motivations” begin to make the waves on the mainstream media political panels.

    £:$ at 1.36 - that's up about 4 cents on the week. The highest level since the referendum. Still dire against the € but some solid gains this week.

    Great news.

    So three reputable sources saying the same yet it's not worthy of pointing out in this thread in your opinion?
    :rotfl:
    And who said it had anything to do with Brexit?
    Must I remind you of the thread title?
    "Brexit, the economy and house prices"
    You might not think a billion pounds to government coffers relates to the economy but I'm fairly certain most will. ;)
