[quote=kimbers ]That world suck for scientific/ medical aid as UK was/is a major driver in shaping those regs

Lol, smart people who do things like .. make medicine... are STOOPID and can go kick themselves in the face. We won't need them or their stupid pills once the walls go up. We didn't need medicine in 1953 and we won't bloody need it in 2023

Well how does that match with their previously over- negative assessment of the UK outlook and their below consensus view now. You seem to be contradicting yourself - UBS is giving their (rich) clients a negative message albeit a less radical one

Are all their (rich) clients short sterling?

Forcasts are always correct and must be treated as gospel, is that the message here? 😆

No. The message is don’t overdo/bother with the doom and gloom, especially from those who lie about getting their predictions right. Just be amused by them and carry on as normal

Feelings were mixed but overall Investors told us that they remain optimistic:
We are living in the most unpredictable period in history say 82% of UK millionaires. Financial and economic risks are top concerns in this situation, but Brexit is the top domestic threat.

It can be hard to focus on facts and the long term. Nearly three quarters feel distracted by short-term risks. Meanwhile, emotions, not facts are increasingly the driving force behind voter choice and public opinion.

Investors remain confident about the future. 65% are optimistic about reaching their long-term financial goals and 77% believe Brexit will have a positive long-term impact on their finances. But are there signs of overconfidence when planning for the future?

I think one thing's clear, UBS aren't giving a toss about the ordinary man in the street.

UBS confident millionaires will be able to play the system either way, shocker! 😆

Don't worry folks the moneyed classes will be fine, we're all saved... phew.

There's no contradiction.

You can grasp how 'confidence' affects the 'value' of things in a capitalist economy?

Now have a think about how changing forecasts, and lobbying for clarity on a somewhat tumultuous decision can be used to affect 'confidence' and therefore the 'value' of things.

We were very good at it too. See all those ships in the English Channel? ENGLISH mark you. Bring it on.

Reading on my phone today I saw THMs contributions

What a fantasy world - behind tbe scenes negotiations going well? What nonsense. there are none. Economic damage / flight of bankers no issue - can he not read?

We have gone from top of the g7 to almost the bottom. IMF, CBI, BOE all state the damage is real and happening but in THM world everything is rosy.

the guy is a deluded fantasist

What an honour that (1) you have read my deluded nonsense and (2) took the trouble to misquote all of it in order to make your insult. That’s some skill.

It’s a privilege when the original IB makes such an effort. Quite made my weekend. Thank you so much.

I assume he picked it up reading your posts and well done for not doing a Zokes this time. I am glad you have remembered that your role is to try and provoke emotional responses in others, not deliver them yourself.

PS you meant misreport not misquote [ assuming the dictionary still applies to you] so you not being as smart as you like to pretend you are made my weekend

It may be that I've just woken up, but could you add a couple of commas to that sentence so my sleep-deprived brain can understand it? 😆

So not as bad as it could be, no plan, no ideas and a huge amount extra to be spent on borders, agencies and extra crap? Excellent chaps full speed ahead see if you can get some ice for my g&t off that big floating ice cube...

I note that for all of THM's bellicose waffling, he's still been unable to explain the connection between him sorting out visas for some hypothetical staff he hypothetically manages and Brexit.

Oh, and thanks junkyard. It seems it takes punctuation and two coffees to facilitate comprehension. That may be due to your grammar, but it probably also as quite a lot to do with the last few drinks I had last night 😉

Oh there won't be any abuse. THM doesn't do that despite several posters complaining about it, and one specifically citing his attacks as reason for leaving this thread. Fake news. Sad.

House
Are you finally admitting to trolling now or is it like being a tory in that everyone knows you are but you get upset when folk say it you and deny it?

PS glad you are still reading and I get the free pass from your abuse - its a terrible price to pay*

* please dont mistake this as a goad to get a response**

Home Office officials have privately admitted the department is having problems increasing its immigration staffing levels as part of its Brexit preparations and [b]may have to recruit Polish and other eastern Europeans[/b] to help register the 3 million EU nationals in Britain.

Good resurrect TJ, the posse has been disappointingly quiet hasn't it? Anyone would think this was a thread about Europe not the posse's Autumn meeting. Perhaps they will rally to the call now that the Master of the Hounds has blasted his mighty bugle. Tally Ho!

Meanwhile in Frankfurt for some meetings, will be interesting to get back to some facts again and to see how they see future with Frau Merkel and their views on Brexshit. Even here, the news will be less made up/exagerated than ^

Do have a pleasant evening....

teamhurtmore said something stupid.

I assume no need to turn the killfile off as without the killfile it would be much the same?

I’m just killing time while I wait for the tennis to finish on Sky before RedZone starts. I thought you’d be watching it thm. This is the men’s final though - not sure you’d take a few points of these lads like you would from Serena. (I suppose she could always double fault.)

Oh thm, you have a problem here - you’ve become a figure of fun in the thread. You probably need to have a think about why that’s happened. In the meantime, try the currywurst. I hear it’s lovely this time of year.
