Freggyragh Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 There are two rival marches at the weekend: The remain one will be in London. Local support groups to help with transport. The march Sir Nigel abandoned to simpletons will probably be happening along a coastal footpath in Lincolnshire somewhere. It doesn’t arrive in London until a week on Friday (goodness knows why they picked that day). It does cost £50, but that might just get you a discount on a photo with the frogman- he won’t be marching himself, bone spurs don’t you know.

woolley Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 5 hours ago, John Wright said: The answer depends on what you are looking at. Annual borrowing in absolute terms. Reducing. Annual borrowing as percentage of GDP. Reducing. Total borrowing in absolute terms. Increasing. Total borrowing as percentage of GDP. Increasing. No it doesn't. Freggy was saying that borrowing now associated with Brexit is frightening compared with the financial crisis. It's a fraction of it. Total borrowing in absolute terms has been increasing most of the time since the Napoleonic Wars! As long as there is SOME borrowing from one year to the next then obviously absolute borrowing increases. Very poor attempt at spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Poor Sir Nigel. The leader of his new brexiter party’s only turned out to be another bloody Nazi. He must curse his luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry revokes Article 50 by walking across a keyboard in No 10, and sending off to Tusk a draft letter in Theresa's name that was judiciously prepared some months ago by a remoan staffer "just in case". The following day the news bulletins are running a lighthearted "and finally" piece about David Cameron walking out of the shower and saying good morning to Samantha. That's when she tells him of the horrible dream she just had about the Brexit saga and, worst of all, Theresa May becoming PM. "You have a vivid imagination, darling." he tells her. "Don't be silly. Thank goodness George talked me out of that referendum, eh?" Cuts back to the smiling newscaster who wishes everyone a pleasant evening, "and don't have nightmares."

Sales in Next's stores fell nearly 8% last year to £1.95bn, while online sales rose by 14.7% to £1.92bn. It said online was a "long-term threat" to its High Street business, but a "larger opportunity" for the group. The retailer also said it could see "no evidence" that Brexit uncertainty was affecting consumer behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular line amuses me. Why would NEXT have seen any changes in consumer behaviour due to "Brexit uncertainty"? Did they expect people to be stockpiling clothes or waiting for post Brexit sales?? 50 minutes ago, woody2 said: did you read your link........

The rise in online sales does not offset the drop of in store sales so overall their sales have fallen. They are bound to say online provides a larger opportunity in the future but that also means that they are likely to reduce the number of stores they have.
