    EU to have special meet November 11 to seal the deal, or deal the seal of approval

    Wonder how big the envelopes?

    Having a minority government depending on the 7 out of 8 LibDems assorted Orange Irish , 5 dozen Labour Remainers and opposed by the 60-100 of the Moggy-Johnson-Cash for Stone and Peter Bone axis against her.

    Unclear who will gain tho of course at all such summits the hotel pimps and cabbies trouser a result, new ideas, alliances, betrayals and STDs are circulated and the press have a jolly in Vienna or Salzburg

    Could well lead to Mays toppling, a general erection, a second refendum or more Ilkely that wonderful brinkpersonship that Brutish deal with with such insouciance organised chaos, great for spivs currency speculators , day traders and SWOPS

    These deals are seldom done in Ballymurphy Scunthorpe or Dresden where top totty Moxart Kugeln Spa hotels are but thin on the turf

    Boris Johnson slammed for 'suicide vest' comments

    British former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was criticized Sunday following comments he wrote in a British newspaper that referred to Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit strategy as a "suicide vest."

    "We have opened ourselves to perpetual political blackmail," he writes. "We have wrapped a suicide vest around the British constitution -- and handed the detonator to [EU Brexit negotiator] Michel Barnier," Johnson wrote.

    In the article published in the Mail on Sunday newspaper, Johnson wrote that instead of striking a "giant and generous free trade deal," May says "yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir" to the European Union.

    Disingenuous of you Troy. Economically, the UK is still holding up well, in spite of the constant plays by market makers and pundits to denigrate it. Employment figures are the most telling methinks, and hence my reference to 'Club Med'. Have a look at this:

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/...-eu-countries/

    Again, tellingly, the figures for the East European countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Romania etc) would be much, much worse had not a significant proportion of their working age population not decamped en masse throughout the rest of the EU in general, and the UK in particular.

    In the three months to July 2018, unemployment dropped by 55,000 to 1.36 million, with the jobless rate remaining at 4%, its lowest level for over 40 years. The number of people in work was unchanged at 32.4 million.

    So why did the unemployment drop if people in work didn't change? Where did those 55.000 end up?

    Probably through a number of factors, with reaching retirement age the principle one, death and emigration being others.

    Into an oven or under the ground.

    Heat stroke, two days above 19 C, poisonous strawberry blight outbreak at Wimbledon and England just missing a World cup final/loss to the Germans. Same thing happened in 1966.

    Are in these figures included also the newly recruited servicemen?
    Also the stuff of Pentagon will surely be increased in order to manage the increased budget...

    Seriously though those figures doesn't prove that the British economy is growing, they only indicate that the cost for the dole has become lower.

    I see that c u n t Juncker is trying to squeeze even more power away from member countries, asking them to give up their veto on aspects of the EU's "foreign policy" so he and his successors can run around like a President of the United States of Europe (only unelected).

    The sooner we get out of that shit the better.

    New DHSS rules . Take a zero hours shelf filling job and we will pay you the difference in your benefits. Bingo your no longer unemployed.

    Standard government "management of perception".

    Like getting all into higher education to reduce the unemployment numbers and making teachers and bankers very rich.
