EU Shocked to Discover UK May Walk Away With No Deal | Forex Factory

  • EU Shocked to Discover UK May Walk Away With No Deal

    From mishtalk.com

    The EU now faces the shocking discovery that the UK is not Greece, the EU does not hold all the cards, and the UK is able and willing to simply walk away from ever-escalating EU demands. Bloomberg reports U.K. Threatens to Quit Brexit Talks If It Faces Massive Bill. The U.K. will quit Brexit talks unless the European Union drops its demands of a divorce payment of 100 billion euros ($112 billion), Brexit Secretary David Davis said. Britain’s negotiations on leaving the EU would otherwise be plunged into “chaos,” and even a 1 billion-pound settlement would be “a lot of money,” Davis said in an interview ... (full story)

Only two of the world's top 10 economies - (Italy and France, which are both on the verge of major financial crises -) have yet to express an interest in doing a trade deal with Britain.

The countries which want a deal with the UK are Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Ghana, Iceland, India, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Switzerland, the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela.

I'm quite sure the UK would jump at this opportunity.

By this reckoning it would be a WIN WIN...

Unless of course you happen to be caught in the in fighting about who will plug the financial hole left by the lack of UK net contributions...

This is the THIRD story published on FF about the Davis statement in 12 hours.
There is nothing of interest to a Fundamental Trader even in the original story.
Its a restatement of a long known and developed UK position.

Fundamental trading requires both political and economic literacy.. and extensive research resources. Traders in this area have developed views on most major international issues with currency level implications.

Such repetitions here serve little but to provoke partisan ideological argument... mostly from those with least interest in Fundamental Analysis.

If the case for this FFNews policy is that its is legitimate in serving FF members to present the same story with different opinion-spins and interpretations.. then it might be useful if it did just that and that the spectrum of those perspectives so presented were less myopic.

Lets look at this story as an example..
So far this particular story has had three "Spins".
One from a UK Government mouthpiece newspaper.. Daily Mail
One from an American TV Business network .. Bloomberg
One from an American economic blogger... Mishtalk
What I dont see is any German, French or other direct European media interpretation... which given the deeply political nature of the issue is surely of serious interest... given that in all negotiation whats being "HEARD" is often different from whats being "SAID"... Lol
So what we are served here is spin according to UK and US media, and its questionably informed interpretation of the political perceptions of the 87% of the EU population thats not the UK?

I often think such a situation creates a dangerous form of myopia.
or am I missing something?

Your bitterness knows no bounds.

For one, it isn't a case of the EU "kicking" us out - we chose to leave and will leave.

That is a major difference. Clearly too major for your miniscule brain to figure out.

The UK will have plenty of trading partners that are major economic powers. Too bad EU-groupies like yourself are too fricking stupid to see that. But then again, you just repeat what your masters in Brussels tell you to say, don't you? You're an utter moron, pal.

People in here are responding to your post. Is it not about time you heeded your own advice? And for the record, the UK left the EU because it was undemocratic, oppressive and dictatorial. Hard as I try, I can't see anything related to imperialism, please point it out. Where you come from, running your unsupported mouth off might be a substitute for intelligence, but not in here

The discussion centres around projects that have commenced to which the UK has agreed to participate in the funding thereof; and probably also projects which have not yet started.

Whether the UK could extract from those obligations by relinquishing any and all benefits therefrom is another aspect.

Britain is not going to be allowed to leave the undemocratic elitist nazi club. It never was going to be allowed. Indeed it appears that Mrs May is doing her best to throw the fight.
The older generation that has seen Britain used as a dumping ground for 40 + years and has seen it being systematically finacially raped over the same lenght of time to continually support lost causes and lost economies is now being told they will have to sell their properties to look after themselves should they need social care.
Hmmm now if I was trying to win an election to lead the country to Brexit I would have kept that under my hat. As these were the people that voted to get out of the EU (the older generation) you would wish to keep their vote.
Yet another puppet being told what to do. How tediously boring these political parasites are. They are all worthless puppets not only in the UK but world wide. Filling their own greedy little pockets with their fat thieving little fingers. May they live in interesting times.

UK Corporate Tax:
"The most recent tax rate cut to 20% has if anything coincided with a decline in corporate tax receipts. This is very different to the 1980s, when cuts to corporation tax cuts coincided with a large increase in corporate revenues relative to GDP. At present, the OBR estimates that each 1%-pt drop in the corporation tax rate is likely to lower corporate tax revenues over three years by around £2.4bn—or 0.1% of GDP."
Source: JPMorgan Client Note. 2017

Treasury forecasts that Brexit will knock 1.7% off Britain's longterm GDP growth. If "hard Brexits" with the UK falling out of the EU without a deal — and back to World Trade Organization rules, then the impact on GDP growth would be even worse.

UK Corporate Tax: "The most recent tax rate cut to 20% has if anything coincided with a decline in corporate tax receipts. This is very different to the 1980s, when cuts to corporation tax cuts coincided with a large increase in corporate revenues relative to GDP. At present, the OBR estimates that each 1%-pt drop in the corporation tax rate is likely to lower corporate tax revenues over three years by around £2.4bn—or 0.1% of GDP." Source: JPMorgan Client Note. 2017 Treasury forecasts that Brexit will knock 1.7% off Britain's longterm GDP growth. If "hard Brexits" with the UK falling out of the EU without a deal — and back to World Trade Organization rules, then the impact on GDP growth would be even worse. Source BIUK.
Wasn't JP Morgan making a lot of noise in Project Fear?

Just in case you haven't had time to do the research, even the EU lawyers doubt any bill is enforceable and it looks like the UK's share of joint assets is going to pose a problem for the EU. Do your research before you shout your mouth off. The UK standing up to the EU dictators has nothing to do with imperialism (unless you have researched evidence to the contrary) and everything to do with the UK's self belief and determination

There are a number of posters that use these news forums as a platform for propoganda.
They have consistent and persistent agendas, imune to rational exchange, and use classic trolling tactics to reduce the quality of exchange to schoolyard namecalling, through provocation and blatently offensive references to mainstream ideas, political personalities, expert sources, and informed opinion., they see as adversaries to their views,

The secret of their persistence, lies in their conviction that prostelying Alt-Political views will gain acolytes to their causes.. and draw in those that hold opposing views into serial pissing matchs.
The secret of the mods tolerence is in the entertainment value such exchanges give to the 000 of silent viewers who dont become involved.

It has ever been so. LoL
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Are your trying to say that it is not OK when anyone else gets abusive, but OK when the whingers do it?
