yes, more of the same. Everyone understood that, millions and millions voted for change. Their reasons to do so may be unconnected to the EU though.

she may find a Chinese bike with a full throttle much easier to ride up Welsh hills.

changing VAT is expensive for everyone, retailers don't like that because they have fixed price points. Deduct less NI is the easiest way to put extra £100 in the pocket each month for those who are on PAYE. The extra money gets spent right away, increasing economic activity and encourage...

a quick fix is to lower employee's NI contribution.

I always try to keep the RPM on the high side by shifting to a lower gear before hitting the hill.

flud, no wonder you are so embittered about France. It's just a case of knowing the laws in France. Yes, French laws are complex but the system is transparent. Your French property must have been checked and measured by a 'géomètre officiel' and marked by 'bornes cadastrales' so boundary...

Who is going to break it up? the shared aims of its member countries will evolve over time, I expect treaty changes from time to time but not its dissolution. The natural geography favours its existence.

that blog was dated 01-June, based on the assumption that holidays here after brexit is more expensive than before, which is not yet the case at the moment. Brexit is more likely just us standing outside the door with a fig leaf to protect our pride, like flecc would have put it, then our prices...

Agreed but they don't have yet July figures for High Street shopping, touristic activities, restaurants, hotels, B&Bs etc. they should show good growth because of the cheap Pound. In general, inflation boots tax receipts immediately through VAT and duty.

the PMI would not worry me because it's just a poll. The real data is the ONS' Q2 current account result after the referendum. We'll know it in September or October. Current forecast for Q2 is -31.7B.

assuming that the important people will stick to what they have said I don't think brexit will be damaging to the economy. Trade with the EU will remain more or less same, augmented by a deal here and there with the non-aligned countries. The strength of the Pound is a matter for the Treasury...

there is a difference between a passport (which carries protection) and identity (how we see ourselves). Our passort is currently British and EU, we have protection of both. After brexit, we will have lost the EU protection. I can understand that you get irritated because some of us, including...

I agree with this view. As long as we stay as close as possible to the EU, Scotland won't need to choose between EU and UK. The damage to the economy is not important compared to the rise of the far right politics.
