That was bound to happen with China's explosive growth, but it's a temporary phenomena, and the 70 years is an artifice. Long term in an old and stable country like ours, not owing the land a property is on would lead to structural value only being dominant, with just one exception. That is...

But with services that's dangerous since they will have to be genuine offices with the business done through them. That means some of our experts in charge in those countries and resident there. Once established with their families there, they will easily be enticed to join our European rivals...

But 80% of our exports to the EU are services and that is likely to be lost, judging from what has happened to others in this respect. The EU doesn't give services access to outsiders. It's that 80% we'll have to find customers for elsewhere, and the prospects for that are very poor. So as...

Yes, that's it exactly, a surplus from the current account to pay back loans. It's not much and they've a very long way to go, but it's better than us with no surplus, spending more than our income. And only today it was announced that worsened. .

That isn't a new problem, just a long agreed loan. The fact is that their austerity program has put Greece into surplus on the current account, meaning they now have money to pay back against the loans. That's a big improvement on their former deficit situation. Meanwhile we remain in deficit...

Agreed, once again it reflects the duality of London since the Tories gerrymandered it by expanding Greater London to include staunch Tory fringes in the Home Counties. A mismatch if ever there was one. .

:D. That doesn't sound like a Theresa May wish list! .

All perfectly normal, a 100,000 protest is peanuts, we've had more than 10 times that in London a few times, even bought water cannon but weren't allowed to use them. Europe is doing ok, the economy is recovering, Greece is in surplus and the Right have been vanquished. Meanwhile we in the UK...

Yes in London a comfortable 17% gap in favour of remain when all included, but even the rest of the country has reversed the referendum with a full 4% advantage for remain. An 8% swing is substantial. There's clear signs that fear is setting in as the problems are beginning to be exposed, and...

According to the polls asking the most honest question, it's 40 - 60 in favour of remaining now. .

Very distorted as this quote from them shows: A total of 23 per cent – described as “Re-Leavers” – said that they voted Remain last year, but now believe the government has a duty to carry out the will of the British people The bold highlighted text clearly shows they were answering a...

I agree a customs union is the best compromise and think we should have made that clear at the outset. But I have my doubts whether this present government will realise and accept that. They still have a "Walk out if we don't get our way" mentality. .

I wouldn't be that confident. The population have already swung against Brexit by a far bigger margin than Brexit won by, if the swing got much bigger Corbyn might see it as a winning opportunity in a general election. .

Empties on the way back from Manchester. :) .

And that's after being stopped at point of entry and having to answer questions before admission. .

Everyone has their price, which is why most of it ends up anywhere but Scotland! ;) .

:D. I know, making Cheddar cheese was a real "Gotcha"! .

Only if you go for independence. Meanwhile it's UK whisky. :) You make Cheddar cheese up there, so you can't have it both ways! .

Yes, he lost the general election when he was leading the Tory party, thus avoiding us being stuck with him as a prime minister for five years. .

Depressingly for the Brexiteers, Greece is now running in financial surplus and the whole of the EU's economy is recovering. Just as our UK economy is on a downturn and widely agreed to get much worse. .
