Some of your points are very true, but not sure the pound is devalued, it is actually where it should be, having been over valued in the past. The pound is fluctuating depending on which Conservative or MEP farts, but even so it is remaining reasonably stable. I don't believe this is a false economy, I think it is exactly as it should be, when the exit actually takes place the pound will drop, but within a year it will be back at todays level.
Not according to unbiased reports, the FT, not known for printing fake news, said last week that if there was a second referendum it would give the "leave" a stronger position.
Many of those who voted remain initially are now so pissed off with the way the EU is hell bent on destroying the UK for daring to leave, that they would change their vote to leave too.
The National debt, although high, has been reducing over the last two years and the UK's GDP has increased, the Pound Sterling, while fluctuating, due to Brexit good/bad news, is still fairly strong and still retains it's international status, only the Deutsche Bank sees a negative future for the Sterling and that may well be due to a Government directive as Germany will suffer hugely when the UK leaves and no longer contributes to the EU.
Had the EU commision kept the basic common market as it was intended, we would not be having this discussion, but the power crazy, unelected leaders of the commission are terrified that if the UK leaves and survives then other countries will also leave, and that will end the Euro.
The commission has brought this on themselves and now they are fighting to save their jobs, their secret bank accounts and their elite lifestyle, and doing so with no regard to how their actions may hurt the man in the street.
Financially we will most definitely be better off, and once the dust has settled trade will resume much as before, but with a much larger marketplace for the UK together with being able to buy from anywhere we like, the return of New Zeland Lamb for example.
And from what I am hearing from friends and relatives, many who voted to remain, they are changing their minds, feel that the way the EU commission is treating the UK and our right to leave, how certain unelected arseholes think they can mock our leaders. All adds up to them not wanting to be a part of that "club" any more. Britain has proved time and time again, mess with us at your peril, we will always win eventually.
I'm guessing you are young so maybe you need to realise sometimes life is cruel, give up thinking about the girl and find someone else or take up a hobby that will help divert your attention. Unrequited love is the most painful love of all, most people experience it, most people find someone even better.
I've been keeping in touch with my housekeeper, making sure she and her family are safe, my home is in South Cebu, so just rain and some windy conditions, but nothing as bad as Yolanda. The real effect will come later as the farmers assess the damage to crops etc, North Luzon is the main area for Crops so that will be bad for exports and likely local pricing will increase.
Thankfully most of the Philippines has been missed this time, but South China is taking a hammering, news on China TV is not good, several buildings damaged or even down and flooding all over the place.
Really: n Not in China they don't, boys can and do run wild, girls are the ones who get punished, often for the boys' naughtiness. I find it heartbreaking the inequality of it all.
There must be a God, the biggest liar and muck spreader in the world is losing his platform, Wonder who will take over to continue the lies about Obama and the Clintons? Hopefully Trump, then everyone will know they are nothing but exaggerated lies and half truths.
A great all round guy, maybe not the best actor in the world, but one of the best film entertainers, his films were easy watching and always a joy, RIP.
Are you referring to the White Helmets? a hermit is someone who alone please supply credible links to your accusations.
Syrian Civil Defence, aka The White Helmets Who are they? 3,000 volunteers from 115 centres across Syria who provide emergency relief at the scene of attacks.
What do they do? The group works in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Conventions to protect civilians from danger, speed recovery from the immediate aftermath of hostilities or disaster, and provide conditions necessary for civilians’ survival. The group has saved at least 60,000 people so far.
Where does it operate? In opposition-held areas: the volunteers have been targeted by Syrian government forces and they can’t safely access regime-held areas.
When did the group form? After training for local volunteer groups was provided by Turkey mid-2013, the first annual meeting of representatives from local volunteer groups across the country was held in October 2014.
Who funds it? The governments of the UK, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Japan, and the USA - through Mayday Rescue and Chemonics – as well as private donations.
Who opposes it? The Russian government, allied with the Assad regime, alleges that the group is affiliated with al Qaeda.
Instead of fake propaganda youtube videos, why not watch a real documentary The White Helmets A Netflix film awarded a number of titles, including an Oscar for best documentary. But no doubt scorn will be poured over it, as it undoes the agendas certain members have in this thread.
"President Donald Trump’s closest aides have taken extraordinary measures in the White House to try to stop what they saw as his most dangerous impulses, going so far as to swipe and hide papers from his desk so he wouldn't sign them, according to a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward. Woodward's 448-page book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," provides an unprecedented inside-the-room look through the eyes of the President's inner circle. From the Oval Office to the Situation Room to the White House residence, Woodward uses confidential background interviews to illustrate how some of the President's top advisers view him as a danger to national security and have sought to circumvent the commander in chief.
Many of the feuds and daily clashes have been well documented, but the picture painted by Trump's confidants, senior staff and Cabinet officials reveal that many of them see an even more alarming situation — worse than previously known or understood. Woodward offers a devastating portrait of a dysfunctional Trump White House, detailing how senior aides — both current and former Trump administration officials — grew exasperated with the President and increasingly worried about his erratic behavior, ignorance and penchant for lying.

"He's an idiot. It'?s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails. We're in crazytown," Kelly is quoted as saying at a staff meeting in his office. "I don't even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I've ever had."
CNN obtained a copy of Woodward's book, scheduled for release September 11. The explosive revelations about Trump from those closest to him are likely to play into the November midterm election battle. The book also has stunning new details about Trump's obsession with the Russia probe, describing for the first time confidential conversations between the President's lawyers and Mueller. It recounts a dramatic session in the White House residence in which Trump failed a mock Mueller interview with his lawyers.
Woodward sums up the state of the Trump White House by writing that Trump was an "emotionally overwrought, mercurial and unpredictable leader." Woodward writes that the staff's decision to circumvent the President was "a nervous breakdown of the executive power of the most powerful country in the world."
Not sure which is worse, Hillary gatecrashing a wedding or Trump's huge lies to entice people to his rallies But I do know that neither are what a prospective leader of the world's most powerful country should do!
Sorry but who cares? I really cannot see why someone like the Kardashians are so popular, there have done nothing for society and look no better than anyone else, in fact I have seen plenty of women in Asia who are far more stunning and have given all they can and more back to their villages etc. plastic people are a sickness the world can do without, IMO.
The way I see it is that the banning was misused by certain posters, they just banned anyone with a different point of view, which destroys the whole concept of a forum. As for the trolls, the answer is simple, don't respond to them, they will give up and move to another thread, having said that, I am not sure there are many trolls on CS, but rather posters with an argumentative character. It would be useful if members could hide threads posted by those they have no interest in reading, make it easier to keep up with threads they are interested in. I also think there should be a limit of one thread in 24 hours, stop the attention seekers.
Wrong again, he is the topic because he was a brave American patriot who died. Strange that many of his supporters in 2008 were Vietnam vets, his downfall was choosing the wrong running mate.
In my humble opinion, had he won, not Obama, the USA would have grown and prospered, and no way would Trump have had a chance to run for presidency, so a win-win situation.
You can believe what you want to believe, and I will do the same, whichever, doesn't matter, he was a brave soldier who was willing to give up his life for his country, Trump was/is a coward who lied to ensure he was not called up. I think I know which was the better man, as for giving up information, he was tortured and maybe it broke him, not many people can withstand that kind of treatment, hell, I would give up Prince Charles' private Tel number if refused a coffee. Not all men are as strong as you.
After Sen. John McCain passed away on Aug. 25, publications nationwide applauded his service, both in the Navy and in the Senate. But news of McCain’s death also dragged up old claims that McCain was not the war hero he claimed to be.
A 2017 article posted on Revenge of the Herd claims, "John McCain was pardoned for treason." It alleges that, during his time as a prisoner of war, McCain gave information to the North Vietnamese in exchange for better treatment, and that he would have been executed if President Richard Nixon didn’t pardon him.
The story resurfaced after McCain’s death and was flagged as part Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
"Those who promulgate the “pardon” aspect of McCain rumours never cite a single piece of evidence documenting that such a pardon was extended to McCain, save for occasional vague references to the notion that McCain was supposedly one of a group of 33 Vietnam-era POWs who were collectively granted pardons.
We contacted Professor of Political Science and Pardon Power Blog editor P.S. Ruckman, Jr. to ask whether there was any truth to the claim that John McCain had been pardoned by President Richard Nixon, who told us that his extensive review of data from multiple sources did not corroborate it:"
The Chinese have that covered, so he is probably searching for the 11th Commandment, "Only those who never lied can enter Heaven." for when the Potus passes away.
A Dictator demands loyalty, a President demands competence, sad that those who support Trump are not interested in supporting their country, A country is more than one man, whatever his political position and should not be above the law.
