[Politics] Brexit

Digressing, have you set up a SIPP? All the benefits (and risks) of investing in equities et seq, but with tax relief on your contributions.

No idea what that is but, I won't be contributing regularly, this is a one off payment from my savings in the bank.

A SIPP can take a single contribution.

Tax relief would make that investment, in effect, 25% more, or your tax liability would fall by 20% of the contribution.

I'm seriously considering whacking £5k of my savings in to my share ISA in the hope of a share bounce long term, as savings don't earn anything in interest ... Is it a risky move now?
Should I leave it til Jan 5th?

Sorry, waaay out of my field. But the little I do know says [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION]'s advice above is good

Thanks, will look in to this when the paperwork for the application arrives.

Try Hargreaves Lansdown (the Bristol City owner). A bit of admin with a phone call and emailed form, then you’re up and running. You can also transfer in old money purchase pension scheme funds eg they might currently have low growth and high charges.

With HL pick one of their star funds. I have some ideas

Only to you. I have several friends who are in danger of losing income and/or their livelihoods; if you think I am impatient for that to happen, you are wrong-headed (to put it politely) again.

Maybe you could think a bit longer and harder before posting?

Don't hold your breath. This is Mr 'post in haste, ignore the critical replies, then move on to something else' .

Anyway, nice to see this thread is going well, with the two geniuses I have on ignore posting repeatedly, presumably to reassure the rest of you that the sunny uplands are a mere heartbeat away.

only 17% of people think it's a good deal, democracy

Cheers 'H'.

Do enjoy your posts.

See the match last night?

Didn't think I'd ever say this again but maybe the UK is worth a look. The world turned away from us since the Brexit chaos started in 2016. But when it comes to the FTSE100 it may have been a bit irrational, most of its earnings from derived overseas from large blue chips.

The post Brexit word of the future "joint partnership council"....

Expect to hear this a lot, in this place we will discover that true sovereignty does not exist. The ERG seem remarkably calm right now, they won't be when they've read the small print

Any chance of you apologising for your earlier outrageous comment?

There are going to be loads of people finding out that this " Brexit Deal " really is a shit sandwich.The details will be appearing only once the Bill has been reluctantly passed. We are all worse off under this deal although we would all be even worse off under " No Deal" !

I have a funny feeling that the thumbs up thing started because after doing it, it displays a thumbs down symbol and they thought that was what they had given. Now you wouldn't think that level of stupidity would normally reach adulthood, but when I suggested this was the reason a few months ago, a very angry JCFG appeared, started posting on POTG's behalf and the rest is history

JCFG has always been a bit strange (an angry Unionist Brexiteer who voted for a border in the Irish sea ), who used to post on here fairly regularly but not constantly. I have noticed that, in the last year or so, they are on here on one of their accounts every waking minute of everyday, thumbing up and replying to every post within minutes, if not seconds of it being posted.

It's almost as if they have absolutely nothing else whatsoever to do, they seem far angrier than before, and don't seem at all concerned about what Brexit will do to the unemployment situation in the UK. I have no idea why that may be

*edit*
30 minutes and no thumbs up, certainly didn't expect that

Ah, my number one fan is back.

I really shouldn't lead you on but as you are sooo desperate for a good thumbing ..

I wonder who will be the first to ask for this thread to be locked on 1st January, on the day that all the many benefits will start to become clearly apparent

Also shows a binary referendum does not deliver democracy

Who’s you money on, seeing as you think there’s only 1 maybe 2 posters who make up all those who voted for Brexit it should be quite easy [emoji6]

I’m assuming when it is locked you’ll revert to your main account [emoji6]

Obviously, we can discount the views of the #teameu crew on here when it comes to passing judgement on the trade deal but a more neutral assessment can be found elsewhere.

The votes from the Norwegian jury are in ..

“The UK has now reached an agreement that gives them more freedom and more independence” .. “the British have a better agreement than the EEA. They get access to the internal market and the common trade that is desirable, but they do not have to be part of a dynamic regulatory development that places strong ties on the individual countries’ national policies. …The most difficult thing for Norway is that we are bound in areas that are national policy, and that it happens in more and more areas. The British have now taken back this authority, and it is extremely interesting”. - Marit Arnstad, parliamentary leader of Norway’s Centre Party

“because the British escape the European Court of Justice. Then they are no longer subject to EU supremacy and must not accept any EU legislation in the future as we must. This agreement is qualitatively different and safeguards national sovereignty in a better way than the EEA does for us”. - Heming Olaussen, leader of the Norwegian Socialist Party’s EEA committee.

Makes you wonder who’s next right?

Get Covid out the way and I wonder how many natives start to become a little restless, my money on Italy.

You've had 6 hours to respond, (sneaking on and taking quick peaks under your POTG account) and that's the best you can do ? Even you have to be disappointed with that

And sill desperately repeating every Guido Fawkes quote with no source. I wonder what they would make of you voting for a border in the Irish sea



Sadly, I have smoked Aubergine which, I'm sure will prove far more challenging than this
