The owner of P&O Ferries, a Dubai-based multinational called DP World, is also a major investor in the first post-Brexit freeport...

Just gets more pathetic by the day...talk about being conned.

So many people conned by this liar and his cronies.

[Kwacky]

He's posh. Lots of people think that means intelligence.

Lots of people are easily fooled

Good to see the Tories looking after the average man in the street again.

Ficking idiots. It's there for a reason, to make sure that people injured by mechanised vehicles are able to claim damages.

If that’s the best benefit they can find then Britain is doomed.

To keep solicitors earning a lucrative living ?

At least they've at last found the illusive "Brexshit dividend", so those ardent brexiteeers will now have an answer for us when we ask what possible benefit has the UK derived from the debarcle. -That'll silence any of us doubters, won't it.!

It's an extra fifty quid, it's hardly the end of the world.

[Kwacky]

You won't believe how little I'm paid mate.

Rees Mogg defending the decision is comedy gold

[D41]

Judging by that Bloomberg link, Japan seems like the only place that has figured out that lower inflation rate = higher growth rate.
Whaaaaat??

[Kwacky]

Japan has massive economy problems of its own.

I think the next few years will see a global economic adjustment downwards

Is metric seriously that much of an issue?

[Kwacky]

No. It's not. We've been using it for any 50 years.

There is nothing stopping people from using/displaying Imperial measurements but you have to have metric.

Lots of stuff is still generally Imperial. People talk about height and weight, mens clothes sizes, beer are all Imperial. Lots of people still use feet and inches.

No.
Simply pandering to the nostalgia driven goons, who thought they were voting Brexshit so they would be time-travelled to a 1940's England.
Also, anything thrown into the media mix at the moment, in an attempt to obscure attention from Bojo's criminality & bumbling incompetence.

Just imho, obviously...

Metric was introduced in Aussie in 1966... most people my age still measure height in imperial, even my kids ask "how many feet am I?"

Most mens clothing here still uses inches as well... I like a good mix, most of my aircraft trade time was on US and UK aircraft so I lived and breathed imperial, and still struggle with mm sizing in tools
