Stop saying Netflix in here.

Somebody hasn't had Netflix and chill this weekend...

I feel sorry for Moggy. He's been led down the garden path by liars and truth haters that try to make Netflix out to be the Big Bad, but just you wait. After a couple of years of no Netflix you'll still be suffering with all the same problems and you'll be looking for something else to blame.

BANK OF AMERICA: Theresa May's Brexit plan means 'lower incomes all round'

LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May's plan for a "hard Brexit" will lower UK incomes and cost up to 10% of GDP over 15 years, according to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In a note to clients, the US investment bank highlighted the economic benefits of the customs union and single market, as well as the costs of leaving.

Free trade via the customs union with the EU "has been a key driver of rising average living standards in recent decades (though of course there is much debate about the distribution of income)," analysts led by global economist Ethan S. Harris said in the note. "So cutting trade with the EU would be economically negative in our view."

Meanwhile, the single market "helps economies of scale," the analysts said. "The UK attracts foreign direct investment from abroad in part because of its membership, which often boosts productivity by bringing in external expertise."

"So exiting both the customs union and the single market would therefore be economically costly: it would introduce frictions to UK/EU trade that do not currently exist, which means reduced trade volumes between the UK and EU and therefore lower incomes all round."

"What will be the precise economic costs? No-one can be sure because there are no recent precedents for this type of action," Bank of America said. "But the evidence suggests that the costs will be large, of the order of 5-10% of GDP over perhaps 15 years. This is one reason we are pessimistic about UK trend growth."

He will still have the memories of previous streams as they will be allowed to stay, when nothing changes it will be fault of those memories holding him back, at that point the only option will be to round up those memories and store them in a memory camp.

I think you are just blinded by Project Fear and are not looking at the opportunities that breaking away from Netflix can create.

Stop talking down services like Amazon, iPlayer and YouTube or else the failure will be your fault.

They're the people who expertly strawberry floated up the world economy in 2008.

They probably know something about strawberry float ups then.

Looking at today's Telegraph headline makes no sense to me.
May is claiming a trade deal will open the door to US Jobs.
Isn't that more or less the exact opposite of Trump's American jobs for American people rhetoric?

Everything May says just seems to make her sound more and more like she's living in some fantasy land.

I guess the hope is that the US doesn't look as the UK as a foreign country, or at least not wholly foreign.

I know a lot of English people don't really see America as foreign but I don't think it works completely the other way round.

Here's why I think anyone worrying about immigration (either because they believe there's too much of it or are worried it's now going to stop) is in for a big surprise. Let's say these EU negotiations go to gooseberry fool (and I think it will), alongside low taxes, deals on immigration is May's biggest asset because it's what businesses clamour for the most. They're all going to want it and the UK government will be in no position to negotiate, even with Australia (dead cert) and the other 3. It simply won't be enough (unless something incredibly far-fetched happens like free movement of people with the USA). She'll have to open it up to China, India etc. I mean this is a fact, so if it's not the EU then immigration will just come from somewhere else. Maybe some will optimistically hope it's now whiter (though Eastern Europeans are white and that was still a problem for some) but it's not going anywhere. That ship has sailed. Which is why I can see support for UKIP dropping like a stone and then rising back up again when the Conservatives don't deliver on their immigration pledge (a pledge she could have quietly dropped after Cameron).

Whiteness is sociological not biological.

Brexit

Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?
