SlyNews outdid themselves last night! :lol: They "interviewed" a load of quite unintelligent and obviously xenophobic people from an area that voted overwhelmingly for Brexit. Every one of the people they talked to came across as an utter mong. :lol: One woman, when hit with a load of negative stats allegedly caused by the Brexit vote, came out with the blinding statement that "Well you gotta have the bad times before the good times innit. We should all just stay quiet and like wait and see what happens and stuff." :oops: :lol:

How do SlyNews get away with such shit subjective reporting? What the fuck happened to impartiality and objective news reporting? :rubchin:

There would be a lot of people nodding along. They are only biased in one direction (not the singer wankers). This is reinforcing the stupid message. Sadly it is people like them, not me, who will suffer the most. Sky is becoming, and will be, the new Fox news after May sucks Murdoch's cock. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/20 ... mp-tv.html

The US are fucked, if this is the best they can come up with, erm how about the FBI/CIA can't remember which one investigating HillHarry the cross dresser...
Now Trump ain't that thick, yet the whole Apple American Pie seems convinced that Russia infiltrated their systems, I suppose they had a lot to do with Brexit, beggars belief is the understatement of the century!
Where's the proof?
The US sat back and Obama ( the advisor on stay in Europe campaign was a shit leader with poor foreign policies and Russia lead the way closely followed by China...

All that has happened is that simple folk have got off their arses and said enough is enough, and used their vote, call it what you like, but do not insult people's intelligence and tell us that Martians from out of space have had a hand in change...

I think it's hilarious how many self-righteous American commentators are 'horrified' at the intervention by a foreign power in their elections.

It's not like they'd interfere in other countries' politics (Chile, Guatemala, Iran, Italy, Nicaragua, Czechoslovakia, Haiti, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Yugoslavia etc etc).

That's the truth, and that wander Obame thought he could threaten us with being at the back of the queue should we leave the EU, if anyone put votes in favour of Brexit it was that thick *word censored*... :lol:

I think Fox news are scum but part of me would welcome this biased new coverage the USA have, at least you know which channel you are switching to rather than the supposed neutrality that actually isnt......

Flash do you not understand in dollar terms the FTSE 100 didn't go anywhere last year. It's so easy to fall for Murdoch/Daily Fail type headlines if you don't actually understand what they mean.

Ohh dear flash, ohh dear ohh dear ohh dear.

Andy Haldane is just about the biggest twat at the BOE. Here is a classic quote from Mr Haldane.

"Andy Haldane said he considered himself to be "moderately financially literate" yet confessed to "not being able to make the remotest sense of pensions".

The bloke has a guaranteed pension in excess of £84,000 through working at the BOE. Something doesn't quite stack up there. You mean he doesn't understand that he has a corking gold plated pension scheme? Then he comes out with this diamond:

"Snap, the owner of Snapchat, has confirmed it will make the UK its main hub outside the US.

The California-based tech giant, which is reportedly preparing for a $25bn (£21bn) stock market float on Wall Street, said the UK was "a great place to build a global business".

"Snapchat's announcement follows the move by McDonald's to switch its non-US tax base from Luxembourg to Britain as the fast food giant faces a battle with EU regulators over tax. "

And I guarantee you that this company won't have more than 1,000 employees in the UK. Look at all the other large US tech companies, the UK is a satellite not the centre of their core operations. It's a fraction of the city jobs that will be lost, when passporting rights go.

Overall it's nothing to do with jobs Flash, this is just more Murdoch headlines. You put the preverbial fishing rod out the other post. Why is it when Murdoch does it, you fall for it hook line and sinker. :D :D :D

The real reason is tax did you not pay attention to the budget?
