What you need for all the picked fruit ,is some batter puds and whipping cream, Yorkshire's don't have to be just savoury, they can make good desserts too, they not called puds for nothing!

Flung from a oven in Bexhill on sea.
Get this back to the right thread quick before Eccles cakes comes.

Does anyone understand what this fool imagines he is doing?
It must be hard to contradict yourself regularly and and so consistently misunderstand the other posters, but he/she/it manages it every time!

No wonder that it couldn't make it's few brain cell form enough of consensus to vote either way in the referendum.

Play nicely, no nastiness please.

When it comes to "Own Goals" no one does it like the Express
"
EU PARALYSIS: Brussels dealt hammer blow which could KILL OFF all future trade deals
BELEAGUERED Brussels was dealt another severe body blow today as Europe's top judge threw a massive spanner in the works over its hopes to seal future trade deals across the globe."
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) sparked pandemonium with a strong hint that the EU will have to seek the approval of all national parliaments before striking economic pacts from now on. "


Forgetting that Gloating about this "fact" of theirs doesn't bode well for our chances of negotiating after article 50 does it?

The question to ponder is simply this: is it likely that any of the people who read the Express and take what it says seriously sufficiently intelligent to understand what that headline means?

Any is a wide basket, majority perhaps not.

It didn't take long for him to clearly identify himself as a sad, internet troll whose real name is Wayne Kerr. Actually, there are lots of Wayne Kerrs who make incursions into internet forums but some of them are actually intelligent....well, semi!

Well, at least that isn't something you can accuse him of, is it?

Hello! Anyone still in this, "all talked out", talking shop?

Who's going to prison then for their involvement the Duetcher Bank fraud?

I would have thought the EU would have been all over this, being the bastions of ethics and good practice that some on here seem to believe. The EU, all that stands between the UK's corrupt financial practices and the monetary annihilation of the poor.

So, Duetcher Bank have a pile of loans sitting on someone's desk. They are in full knowledge that the people who have taken out these loans are going to default on them. So, what is to be done? They package them as prime, gold plated investments to sell on to the unsuspecting. Nice.

Presumably, handsome bonuses will have been taken on the back of this, "work." People will have profited from fraud. So who is going to prison? The top man would be a good start. He / she is paid the big salary in return for taking on the RESPONSIBILITY of running the show.

In or out of the EU, the situation demonstrates that this kind of activity is condoned by governing bodies, so the EU can not be held up as being the warden of ethics and principles. They are the same old pale $h!t but contained in a different bucket.

I'm puzzled as to why you've plucked this out.

Deutsche Bank have only done what many of the others in Britain and Europe did in what caused the 2008 collapse, with the US banks in the forefront having invented this way of selling on bundles of worthless securities.

Either they should all be prosecuted or none, I see no legitimate reason for solely picking on a German bank.

And lets not forget Italy's banking situation or Luxembourg's tax.
Italian government has just authorised 20 billion euro bail out for its third largest bank. Accepted nothing new here apart from looking who is actually footing the bill. Reatail invested bonds...predominantly owned / invested in by ordinary people.
Yep, isn't EU champion of ordinary folk.!!!

I picked it out flecc, because others on here have suggested that BREXIT will give bankers a free hand to continue their corrupt practices. That BREXIT is somehow a conspiracy, sold to the unsuspecting in order to allow practices such as this to continue.

My point is that corrupt banking practices will continue regardless of whether we remain in the EU.

Of course, my post could also be read as a racist attack on the Germans, which is the default fall-back position.
