Hmm - personally I'd rather be rich and have a shortage of cultural assets rather than the other way round. Communist countries prioritised cultural assets yet their citizens couldn't wait to be rich. Hmm. I suspect your grasp of what comprises a cultural asset is rather tenuous, which is probably what draws you to the American way of life and doing things rather than the European. |

It makes me wonder just how arrogant you have to be to look down your nose at people who don't eat sea bugs snails and frogs. I was merely responding to Jonksy's lament that he couldn't find any shellfish in a French supermarket. I've never been in one that didn't but you shouldn't take that to mean I eat it myself (I don't) or that I demand that anyone else does.
Don't be a count all your life, why not take a day off?
LOL, I wasn't necessarily talking about you. Pillock.  |

Read Monbiot's criticisms of the CAP and re-evaluate your position. Nothing to do with venture capital investments. CAP is farming and land management. Which is to say...no one wants to put money into UK business ( unless it ia a political party and comes with promises of preference). To be fair, there has been investment in UK Biosciences. I remember the glorious days when the EU almost singlehandedly rebuilt Birmingham. Nor to mention holdung members to account for transport infrastructure standards...including pot holes. |

Your figures are for 2022. We're now in the second quarter of 2024, and the services sector that's pulled the UK's Brexit's chestnuts out of the fire is losing financial impetus as firms delist from London.
As City A.M. reports: The London Stock Exchange is set to lose as many as 30 £100m-plus firms from public markets this year, a figure bringing into sharp relief the troubles on London’s public equity markets.
Thirteen firms have announced a takeover this year and already completed the transaction.
And some seventeen more takeovers or delistings have been announced and are awaiting completion.
A host of small-caps under the £100m threshold have also either gone private, gone bust or announced plans to delist.
All your optimism would be credible if only I hadn't visited France four times since Christmas and been shopping in supermarkets there. The choices are stunning compared to UK supermarket offerings, and prices often seem lower.
So, despite your facts and figures, I'm not feeling any better off and experiencing lower energy, council tax and food bills...
Half the fucking shelves were empty the last I went to that shithole...LOL And there were no shellfish on offer either unlike here.... They had sold out. |

In an interesting bit of news, Canal+ (the French version of Sky) is going to list on the London stock exchange in a slight to the Frankfurt and Paris exchanges.
Apparently it wants to be more open to international investors - the EU being rather parochial.

There was nothing good being part of the EU anyhow, so if anyone thinks we're worse off out of that dictatorship seriously needs sectioned and brain examined.
