The EU to stone wall the UK on trade talks
big majority or small majority, makes no difference the UK will have pretty much a binary decision on the table. Massive queues at Folkstone and empty shops won't look good on TV.

Suffice to say, there will be no deal on the table other than a "diktat" from Brussels for the UK to sign off on in two years time.

The General Election is a great domestic side show, but in the end is completely irrelevant.

The U.K. “is in a very weak bargaining position anyway,” Schmieding said. Victory for May’s Conservatives in the June 8 election “gives her a strong hand in selling to the domestic audience in the U.K. whatever she wants to sell, but it does not give her any advantage in selling in Poland or in Romania or in France or Germany,” he said. “Brexit will mostly be shaped by what the EU-27 is ready to offer, and Theresa May will just have to accept that.”I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by sasguru View PostSo the German economy which makes things and sells them is a Ponzi scheme, while the Uk economy which is based on high house prices and borrowing to consume is not?
behind the marketing glitz it's a rag and bone economy.
up until fairly recently 25% of the german workforce was on 9.50 EUR per hour and due to no minimum wage over a million in 4 EUR per hour.
at the cost of the other member states Germany has:
a) near limitless supply of money at near zero interest rates to soak the capital costs of running factories and making things and lending money to car buyers in finance deals
b) a supply of cheap labour to work in factories, don't care where they come from. 2M from Syria? wheel em in!
c) 25% cheaper currency than it should be. the suffering of the southern states is necessary to create this
d) a single common market and trade deal to sell its goods whilst shunning deals for services
e) a population willing to accept minimal wage increases
so yeah the Germany doing just fine (at the expense of all the other southern EU states) but these conditions are temporary and are not sustainable.
'making things' is a low margin activity in the main and i am much happier the UK is not in competition with the Germans. I am far happier (and so will my children be) earning plenty of money not working in a factory.
what i am not happy about is the Germans (and the french) looking after their own interests by blocking a common trade deal for services.
every dog has its day and judging by the number of brand new german cars on UK roads this year we are very much at 'peak car'.
ponzi schemes can run for decades without getting found out, the EU ponzi scheme run by the Germans will eventually collapse.Comment

if 25% of the German work force are on 9.50eur an hour, then how come when I contracted in FaM ten years ago the local LIDL offered cashier jobs at 13eur an hour ?
I have a very strong feeling you are talking total cr@p
history has shown one of the attributes of the German success is their long term planning
they are and always have been, investing in the future, and forward looking 2, 3, or 4 generations
the low interest rates, this is a result of the financial crisis, every country has low interest rates, even the UK !
so, let's see some evidence to substantiate your fiction
