      Probably time you stopped talking crap don't you think?
      Not as much as the person who introduced the referendums when he din't have to. But then you elected him. So the tit is on you.

        The ratings agencies always know what they are doing. Look at their ratings for credit instruments in 2007. It was assumed these were like flats in a tower on a flood plain - the water would only rise so high. Alas they were all bungalows and all ended up well underwater.

        I would rather listen to mystic meg.

          Is when did that matter a jot?

          The markets pay attention to them and that's all that matters.

            Especially if you own a job in a hedge fund. Get the market where you want it and boomed... Free money from short term suckers.

            If England wants a neet little early coupe it should offer the same tax advantages that Gibraltar has to Cornwall and see the betting industry flood back on shore...

            I'd have a little think about offering more free money to film makers and hydrogen fuel energy start ups... Maybe hand that to Scotland now we don't have give a **** about illegal government aid...

            Yesterday a woke up to having my country back and a contract for a years work in my inbox. Double boomed

              indeed, we should expect our government t stimulate trade.

              Just damn glad I have a fixed rate mortgage. Its going to be bumpy.

                Which will be difficult when all your free trade deals are going for a burton.

                  That is a good thing. The EU was doing some pretty nasty tulip to the UK NHS through TTIP... Some of you remainders need to do some reading on what was being quietly mooted. We just dodged a bullet make no mistake.

                    My concern is that the US will try and force TTIP on the UK (or not force, because Cameron was very pro-TTIP, which is why Obama wanted us to remain in the EU.)

                      You wouldn't want to be the English politician that took that bait. It's one thing for it to come through a back door where you can point at a bunch of EU robots and say they did it to us. But standing in Downing Street and saying look what I did would be suicide.
