    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I feel the start of a shaggy dog story coming on here (from you or Tom).

    Even for you - it was indeed.

    There's probably three in that case, I'm not sure whether or not the sun is shining in Hull or even Grimsby.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Have some fond memories of Rotherham, went to Sunday lunch at Grannies with a girlfriend, in the early sixties. Noted that North Yorkshire has the happiest people in the UK (Brexit affected apparently)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You completely failed to answer a very simple question, or ignored it. Probably the latter as it gave you another opportunity to indulge yourself with a repeat of your usual diatribe.That being the whole point of the original question?

    Oh, yes the one with the long bridge and a clapped out Telephone system? City of Culture... apparently?

    Not really NO, it's Not!. Had it stayed the EEC I suspect we would still be there.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That was an engineered (not very well) post wasn't it. I'm not aware that Brexit or indeed the present Government, is in any way wanting, to see Tax evasion and Money laundering continue. Perhaps the sun is shining down there in Grimsby?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Really. The French / UK was very much seen as a means to defeat Germany and nothing to do with a ESU. DeGaulle made it very plain some years later that it would never happen. If it makes you feel any better you can remove the clearly attributed earlier quote and leave this: As Churchill urged a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which bit of this do you find hard to understand? As Churchill urged a Franco-German partnership to lead his vision of a new Europe, he declared that Great Britain and the British Commonwealth, along with the US and USSR, should be “friends and sponsors” of the project. He did not talk of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's a parallel here - can you image trying to get the contributors to this thread running the country / Brexit - perhaps John Wayne is the answer? Not so sure that the other 27 are united, but if I were them I can see the sense in waiting and watching.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm sure that the Government are already on the case. Perhaps it won't satisfy everyone but there is a requirement for company transparency to come fairly soon, if not already in place. US nationals are generally completely sown up by the IRS with all bank accounts, including foreign ones...
