Cakery. "The expectation would be... pressure may have been applied"... as a sovereign nation within the EU the UK would not have been obliged to have delayed approval and the current position cannot therefore be described as a benefit of Brexit.

So are you suggesting that if we had still been a member we would not have been allowed to have approved the vaccine in the way we have?

A wild guess... The Express - Boris has pulled off a winner as Brussels folds The Sun - ditto Telegraph - Victory, but Tory backbenchers demand more Mail - ditto The Express and Sun see the whole Brexit thingy as a binary issue, a bit like an ITV gameshow, and thinks most of their readers see...

Please point out where anyone has attributed Brexit to the fall of Green's empire. One of the effects of the two events was compared, that's all. Did you really read the post you replied to?

I think Wz might know exactly who he was replying to. Does anyone bother with lower case fairy anymore?

Seems high, notwithstanding the shortness of the remaining lease. A reputable leasehold enfranchisement agency recently estimated a figure of between £8.5k and £11k per flat for leaseholders to acquire joint freehold ownership of the block in which their flats are situated. The average value of...

An unusual proportion of the posts on this thread are completely bizarre.

It is, but I am sure that the OP has said he already owns the freehold. N

Proforma JC response: ignore questions, wave red herring in air, attempt joke, dash off. You rarely let us down.

Ŷ Your determination to be as patronising as possible has left you looking a bit daft. Even if your third sentence wasn't a grammatical car crash it would still make no sense. I simply wanted to know the background to Robert Chote saying that all forecasts are wrong. You know, the...

Your congratulations to me on knowing how to do a Wiki search are gratefully accepted. Your foray into evidence gathering was less successful - one of your links was over eight years old and the other was behind a paywall. As it happens, they weren't needed. I accept that forecasts are not...

Ah, the old conspiracy of experts trope. One expert gets something wrong so let's imply that your average expert knows nothing more than a Kentucky pick-up driver or an English football forum shouter. The easiest, laziest argument of them all. I am not clever enough to say I agree or disagree...

You'd better ask the Treasury-funded public body established by the government to provide independent economic forecasts and analyses that provided the data. While you're on you could ask them about the four percent hit to GDP they suggest Brexit will cause even with a deal. Alternatively you...

George Lansbury :blush:

With one or two exceptions, NSC's Brexit enthusiasts have always belonged to this faction. The fact the the OBR report that a no-deal Brexit would add 300,000 extra job losses to the funeral pyre is of no interest to them.

Apologies if this has been covered, but a query. The three households rule will cover our immediate family on and around Christmas Day. We also have an old friend, now living alone. Assuming we remain in tier one, we will resume our habit of regularly visiting him at his home come 2 December...

to which can be added yesterday's update from the centrist Resolution Foundation: "The scarring effects of Covid on the economy could cost every adult in Britain £1000... but the long-term effect of Brexit on the economy will be even bigger with households having already felt that via higher...

Thanks for this. It saves me looking at the TV. Having to watch the oleaginous Michael Gove and other members of his desperate little bunch of squirts always gives me a blinding headache and a persistent dry cough.

Well you got that off your chest then.

And that bloody Jimmy Langley signing for Fulham. Greedy sod.
