Lord King, the former governor of the Bank of England, has said that the UK should be “self-confident” about leaving the European Union since there were “real opportunities” for economic reform and new trade deals which meant Brexit could be a success. He highlighted agricultural reform and a developing relationship with the Republic of Ireland as areas where the UK could be positive. Read full article

    Nothing would make you happier than to have the UK fail, right?

    Is that the best you could manage?

    A few days with Senora Voice got all your hostilities out?

    “Lord King said it was too early to tell what the overall effect on the economy would be, despite data since the referendum result being more positive than many economists predicted.”

    I think that is a fair assessment, while things will be different post Brexit, and there will be separation pains initially, in the longer term an independent UK offers it great opportunities to trade world-wide free from the bureaucratic shackles of the EU.

    It all comes down to the resilience, adaptability and enterprise of the people of the UK and on that measure alone the portents look good.

    Merry Christmas, Think Voice Chronic

    “Voice” - do you remember your nasty remarks against the female poster “ilsen”?

    I seem to recall your verbal abuse and misogynistic comments included a fascination with her genitals and the colour of her pubic hair.

    Putting that together with your own accounts of provoking motorists and others so that you can physically bully them, paints a picture of a very unsavoury character.

    Your “Think” persona is just a leering avowed sexist - no ambiguity there... !

    Context Puppet....
    Since when did ilsen say she was a woman...?

    ilsen
    I was referring to those that think being a 'ranga' is a 'disability'... or that people of a certain colour hair exist to be bullied by others.
    Transpose ginger hair with 'brown - eyed' people and you can see how ridiculous these type of comments are.
    I hate this casual racism as it is to the detriment of all people, everywhere.

    Oh no Ilsen must be Ginger....
I'm so sorry...for you...
All is not lost....say hello to Mr 40 vol Peroxide bottle...
...and don't forget downstairs...there's nothing worse...

    Where does it say that I'm referring to a woman...
    The article was about Prince Harry....
    Your sick mind and obsession with women is deluding your memory...
    Outed again..are you feeling stupid.....?

    By back-pedalling do you mean quoting what was actually said, instead of your warped and twisted interpretation of what was said...?
    Are you seriously stupid enough to think you can lie and get away with it...?
