Umm, I must have missed something. This article was in The Guardian, whose editorship is left-leaning and Europhilic but most certainly anti-PM and to be fair, have probably been a better opposition to the Tory Government than HM's Official ...

Why Traders Are Taking a No-Deal Brexit Threat In Their Stride
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 12, 2020
Ok, I didn't realise that you were expecting me to answer specifically to what read as 2 rhetorical questions. So, as you're demanding I answer them and in the spirit of a season of glad tidings, I'll oblige: 1. The justification is that it was the ...
Brexit - PM Johnson: Where I stand now, it's looking very very likely we will have a no deal
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 11, 2020
I've made this point before: facts are only established on the past. Anything relating to the future is merely conjecture, how ever hard you press that the past guarantees any future outcome. You might be right but also you have no certainty ...

Yes, two definite opposing outlooks. The easy bits of trade of goods has been covered. Principles are harder to fudge.

I don't disagree with most of your content there. I was only making one particular narrow point. Have a great weekend.

You've misinterpreted it, so apologies if I needed to be clearer: I wasn't stating it as YOUR slogan but that it's YOUR-FAVOURITE-SLOGAN to ridicule. It WAS a BJ/Tory Party manifesto slogan in the General Election, pre WDA, not after it and it ...
Brexit - PM Johnson: Where I stand now, it's looking very very likely we will have a no deal
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 11, 2020
Amongst one of your favourite slogans to chastise is the 'Oven-ready deal'. In the interests of being factual and not misleading, which you oft seem keen to throw at any politicians, that expression was pre-2019 General Election and was in reference ...

Sorry, I must do better at highlighting when I've made a joke.
Maybe Brexit Isn’t So Bad After All
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 10, 2020
Some interesting observations contemplating general principles rather than the standard economists' comfort zone of projecting a model with 10-to-the-negative-powers of a percent difference in something on 2 axes.
Maybe Brexit Isn’t So Bad After All
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 10, 2020
Yay! Good. Constructive response, always welcome. I can agree with much of what you state and I wholeheartedly agree that lessons can be learned from the past but as traders we all know that whilst history rhymes it never foretells, a bit like MA's, ...
Raab: UK Doing Everything We Can To Reach Brexit Deal
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 10, 2020
I have 2 responses to the above comments, not specific to hose who have made them. It could easily be many others making the same comments: 1) 98% of the deal is apparently sorted but the remainder is an issue of principle. Now, irrespective of my ...

Brexit: Senior UK Source Says Further Talks Over Next Few Days
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 9, 2020
Yes, I too have a problem with parasitic CEO's brought in to scalp off whatever they can. I applaud genuine entrepreneurs who take risk with their own livelihoods and succeed. I congratulate Elon Musk, for instance. I don't begrudge him the paper ...
U.K. Urged to Levy $350 Billion Wealth Tax to Pay for Pandemic
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 9, 2020
When a tax doesn't produce the proceeds the government calculated, then the solution is always yet more taxes in something of a descending spiral and it chokes the growth essential for providing increased tax income. The UK is already at a very high ...
U.K. Urged to Levy $350 Billion Wealth Tax to Pay for Pandemic
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 9, 2020
Addendum: taxation only ever looks at the 'cost' angle, never at how to promote growth and the generation of more income for all by means other than government intervention and encumbering future generations with the chains of debt.
U.K. Urged to Levy $350 Billion Wealth Tax to Pay for Pandemic
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 9, 2020
I do agree with your sentiments about inequality and the likelihood of condensation of the proceeds of the last decade and in future in the pockets of the few. I can't say I have the answer(s) but there are many ways of "skinning a cat" or, as in ...
U.K. Urged to Levy $350 Billion Wealth Tax to Pay for Pandemic
- DaJoWaBa commented Dec 9, 2020
It's always the crowd-pleaser: "tax the wealthiest", despite the fact they already pay a huge proportion. Whilst smart to tax something immobile and illiquid for short-term gain, even if you CAN do the required bureaucracy more quickly than the tax ...

No, not crude at all. He has not been shy to emphasise his Irish Roots and has stated from the off that he would get involved. Having an innate understanding and being available to help is a little different from stating a desire to get involved in ...
