Slight problem with that notion
They did not originate the headline, the Institute of Directors did, and they are as Conservative as they come.
Sorry that trope won't wash.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date

Now what have you been reading? Calm down & step back, this isn’t doing you any good.
The state and a company pension. Nothing else.
Not that your opinion matters, but do you disapprove of pensions?
And yes I don't need some self styled financial genius to explain how pensions are financed thank you very much
Stick to the thread ! you've failed twice already to do that and that's before 7:30 AM
Oh dear, there might be a few tears and cheap cars up for sale. This could be an opportunity replace my 17 year old Subaru Forester dog taxi.
Living off investments then.
Where did I say I disapprove of pensions. Ofcourse I dont. I recently started drawing my own works one. Its fantastic. You are making the distinction between investments and pensions when in reality they can not be seperated. They are one of the same.
Amazing how many people criticise the very system that feeds them.

he was making a point about our government rushing through the Lords a bundle of laws and statutory instruments before brexit date. A lot of them put current consumer protection at risk, such as a cap on lending rates. We have a few street lenders who exploit people in financial troubles, credit card companies charging lots of interest etc.
Without checks and bounds, money lending is not a service, it's blood sucking parasite. Capitalism needs to be restrained, controlled and organised.
A questioning, possibly rational, response might have been to ask if a significant number of E27 firms are considering shifting to the UK - whether as small satellite operations or wholesale. And let us know whether there are any?
If it is pretty much all one-way, then that rather underlines the importance. If two-way, especially if the shift to the UK appears larger than the other way around, it undermines it.
That’s fair enough. I don’t disapprove of pensions, I love them, I started a company one at the age of 16, my friends thought I was crazy. That pension is paying a government backed index linked final salary now and it’s ace.
What does puzzle me is when you are so heavily critical of people who invest for themselves, effectively cutting out the pension or investment fund manager’s rip-off fees. You were severely critical of the property deal I completed last year, yet you as a pensioner benefit from exactly the same type of investment scheme. The only difference between you & I on that front is that I did it myself, and you pay a fund manager.
Could you forgive me if I said that I thought your stance is hypocritical?
that's a legitimate question which has received little attention.
My guess is most businesses wanting to reposition themselves either wholly or partly in and out of the UK will want to wait another month for some clear direction.
No brexit is still possible. Fundamentally, any deal with the EU will show up that promises of any brexit related economic gain are difficult to achieve while the downside is made more obvious.
That will shift a few voters to remain. My guess is remainers will make the push for second referendum if TM fails to move the backstop.
May's deal is still 50/50 at the moment.
Anybody watch Andrew Neil take apart Ken Livingstone on 'the week' last night?
If you thought James Dellinpole got destroyed last week on that show - Livingstone I think managed to top even that.
His defence of Venezuela quite appalling - and he paid the price.

Thinking is work. You had to work two hours so the money was not free. Free money is the stuff you get when you don't lift a finger.
Poor little fingers...
I'll explain: a lie would be to say "there is no such thing as free money" but I didn't say that did I? And we all know who the sad little person who calls people liars is, don't we? Celui qui dit est celui qui fait...
I did watch Ken doing TV harakiri on Andrew Neil's This Week.
He walked straight into Neil's trap like James Delingpole did the week before.
It goes to show that many of our politicians and journalists are totally uncritical and lazy thinkers.
when you didn't actually read the agreement and think you are too clever to need to I wonder why he didn't just Google bit as they came up for discussion?

I agree, what is surprising is people going on that show thinking they can wing it against Andrew Neil. It’s a shame many other political interviewers aren’t as well briefed as he is.
Well that wasnt expected... In interests of harmony did not want to name OG..
