pmi survey worst since 2009 sure sign of a recession going by news reports to referendum Result
Yes all that's happened in three weeks? you can thank the doom monger so for that!
I doubt it Italy is virtually bankrupt, not a rescession as forecast the whole world economy has slowed down, and technically we are still in the EU!

I don't think we will pull out of the EU be a financial disaster for the UK
 
Are golf courses not (generally) on privately owned land? Are lots of them either in the countryside, or next to open spaces/greenbelt?

If you owned one, I very much doubt you'd be pleased to have a CPO slapped on it in order to accommodate/house the general population, nevermind an immigrant population.

There is neither the space, nor the infrastructure, nor (Dare I say it? Well I'm going to anyway, because it's the case) the will to accommodate the current rate of immigration.

And we ought to build for our own first, last & foremost.

When you say 'for our own'.

Why do you care about people who happened to be born in this country more than those born elsewhere ? People who you will never meet or interact with, who's only connection to you is the fact that they happened to be born on a certain piece of land.

It's very strange. This idea that you should care about people born within the same political border more than others, out of some warped sense of relationship through nationality.

Do you care more about your immediate family than someone from another country ? While your view above is noble, unfortunately is not replicated around the world. It is a sad fact of life that we care for those who are closer to ourselves usually at the expense of others. This may not be nice but it is the common fact.......
 
I see the likes of the Independent newspaper are still running our country down.....I find it hard to believe that a newspaper that only used to sell about 50,000 copies and is owned by a couple of Russians would do this.......
 
Chief economist at World Economics, Professor Brian Sturgess, said the signs already showed Remain’s Project Fear was “completely wrong”.

He added: “The pound was overvalued by at least five per cent before the vote and now is undervalued by about seven per cent, excellent news for exports and our trade balance.

“The economic good fortune is coming even before we agree trade deals around the world. Prospects are good and they will only get better.”

Yesterday the FTSE 100 built on an 11-year high level earlier this week of 6,700, climbing to 6,730.48.

Ashok Vaswani, UK chief executive of Barclays, warned: “This is an opportunity to step up and say, ‘Hey, we are bigger than how we feel.’ It’s definitely not all doom and gloom.”

Leon restaurants founder John Vincent said: “This is really exciting. We needed a kick up the arse.”

Immediate family is completely different.
 
Immediate family is completely different.

Not really, you then have cousins, uncles, aunts, schoolmates, friends, etc etc all spreading out within your country......similarly we have an affection for Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians etc because we regard them as distant cousins, or even actual cousins. You cannot force people to accept or love other nationalities or races, history and belonging always come to the fore, no matter how altruistic ones views......
 
The Confederation of German Employers' Associations or BDA has demanded the EU adapts to "wish of the UK to adapt free movement."

The demands come only days after crisis hit Mrs Merkel met with new Prime Minister Theresa May in Berlin.

Oliver Zander, director general who oversees the BDA's Metal and Electrical Engineering Industries, told German news agency DPA: "There has to be balance between the interest of the business community, to keep the British as integrated as possible, and the wish of the UK to adapt free movement.

"The German metal and electrical engineering industries deliver more than 55billion euros (£46billion) worth of products to the UK each year... we should do everything to prevent a rupture. Otherwise we only damage each other."

This stark warning from German business chiefs reveals the true state of the EU and the economic desire to maintain good working relationship with the UK post Brexit.
