Quite possibly influenced by

Commons vote to ratify Brexit very likely, says No 10 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37691270

Any package without some form of Single Market access won't get passed in Parliament.
It's amazing what a currency collapse can do

Coase Theorem 2 hours ago
This is worse than an experts view
This is an investors' view
US businesses, like Japanese ones, are just flat out saying that the UK is less attractive if it isn't in the Single Market
And unlike any UK business this can't be dismissed as a lack of patriotism
It just is what it is

@NP O Lordy, don't you get it? There will be no low tax low reg economy on the EU's border hoovering up investment precisely because the EU will ensure that low tax low reg economy has no access to its market .... which at stroke eliminates its sources of investment

Say you are an individual with a spending habit. And an ok job. But no.pay rises since 08. And spending more than income. And the credit union lends you money but you use it for day to day spending  . And now you want to jack in your job and set up an import export business. But you are not sure about taxes. And you tell the credit union to f**k off. Then next day you ask them for money.
That is what Brexit is like.

Real wages are down 10% since 08. Osborne wanted to reduce the deficit to zero but could not cos of wages. So the UK has a big deficit. Funded by foreigners . Beggars cannot be choosers. Brexit would be OK if no deficit. But it is not with a deficit.

They import 40% of their food. The UK is seriously densely populated

The population of England and Wales is seriously dense, not so much Scotland.

It's really South East England and a circle including the midlands and a space from Liverpool to Leeds.

They need a lot of productive economic activity to keep everyone happy.

If you go back to 1500 Ireland and England had similar populations. It is not clear that England took the right road.

The decline in UK real wages since the pre-crisis peak is the most severe in the OECD, equal only to Greece. Both countries saw declines of 10.4% per cent between 2007 Q4 and 2015Q4.

That article has little, or in fact anything, to do with brexit.
If people felt the system was working for them they wouldn't vote for chaos

So what's going on with Wikileaks and Assange. From what I can gather John Kerry made some threats towards Ecuador that they should extradite him ASAP or face serious consequences. Assanges Internet access has been cut off now by Ecuadorian officials.

This follows the leak of Hilarys Goldman Sachs speeches along with the podesta emails and others. There might be some move in the coming hours where he is removed from the embassy and placed under arrest.

This is all from reading Wikileaks tweets and other insider sources which will either be proved true or false as events take shape.

Goes to show how much the establishment, corporations, media and all their backers want Hilary rather than a Trump or Sanders putting the brakes on their gravy train.

Might all be a ruse by Assange as he might have nothing left on her though from what I've read it should already be over for her. Perhaps if she wasn't running against a buffoon like trump it would be, but then only for Trump running against a corrupt hag like Clinton is he still in the race. Bizarre situation. Hard to believe this is what America has to choose between.

If either of them was running against almost anyone else, this election would be done and dusted.

Worst pair of candidates ever.

This whole thing makes me think of this Malcolm X quote, especially the bit in bold


"It isn't a president who can help or hurt; it is the system. And this system is not just ruling America, it is ruling the world. Nowadays, when a man is running for the President of the United States, he is not running for President of the United States alone; he has to be acceptable to other areas of the world where American influence rules. If Johnson had been running all by himself, he would not have been acceptable to anyone. The only thing that made him acceptable to the world was that the shrewd capitalists, the shrewd imperialists, knew that the only way people would run toward the fox would be if you showed them a wolf. So they created a ghastly alternative. And it had the whole world—including people who call themselves Marxists—hoping that Johnson would beat Goldwater. I have to say this: Those who claim to be enemies of the system were on their hands and knees waiting for Johnson to get elected---because he is supposed to be a man of peace. And at that moment he had troops invading the Congo and South Vietnam! He even has troops in areas where other imperialists have already withdrawn. Peace Corps to Nigeria, mercernaries to the Congo!"
That is a fantastic quote
