Brexit Bill expected tomorrow.

[shaunbhoy]

The solution to all of this financial meltdown and uncertainty is staring us in the face!!

All we need to do is get sasguru to agree to hold seminars on how to become colossally wealthy under any given set of circumstances.

I mean, that is self-evidently his answer to any potential contingency. Even though he spectacularly managed to back the wrong horse in a two-horse race last June 23rd.

Outside of that he appears (if you believe him at any rate!") to be able to come out smelling of roses irrespective of what fate might throw at him.

All hail to sasguru.................a legend in his own lunchtime. Tell us what to do oh great one!!

So it's out there but why didn't she just tweet it? Brexit bill: Theresa May publishes Article 50 legislation in preparation for MPs' vote | The Independent

for the twitter gag

for the Bill. Nice and concise and to the point. Corbyn is imposing the whip on Labour MPs to support the Bill, which should make for some entertaining rebellion.

Not that it matters what Labour do. 25% of the population voted for Pro-EU David Cameron and therefore Theresa May can push whatever anti-EU legislation through parliament she feels like. Democracy: it's great!

Have the "enemies of the people!" nutcases calmed down now that it's clear how little any of it meant? Even when forced to involve Parliament they've done the teeny tiniest amount, and it looks certain they'll get away with it.

People who have liquid assets that don't lose a lot of value overnight (ie shares) will be able to make a lot of money from Brexit.

sasguru will double or maybe even triple his wealth, enough to have a nice retirement in Portugal, living like a King in a nice mansion...

Until the Treasury realised not enough tax was being paid into government coffers.

And then they decided to increase tax on dividends for UK tax residents, ffs, it would have been fair to tax ALL DIVIDENDS, regardless if the shareholder in UK or not - common practice in many countries, then the tax on dividends could have been much lower for ALL.

It's a UK tax.........

It's a UK tax.........

Yes, UK tax on dividends paid by UK companies, why can't it be taken at source regardless of where shareholder is living? That would be fair - making money from UK company, then pay some tax, however the system only very heavily now taxes those who choose to stay in country, and allowing those who have fooked off to pay 0%, or just make shareholder a company in Isle of Man and collect the money as you please later.

Obviously UK Govt is choosing to fook over locals because they ain't got anywhere to go, which will be especially true after Brexit.

He was kind enough to post repeatedly that he's shifted his savings into CHF/USD.

Obviously he did this after sterling fell against, rather than before.

There is of course a chance that sterling will continue to depreciate but it is also equally possible that it will not and it will in fact strengthen against other currencies.

It would be churlish to take any sort of enjoyment in the recovery of sterling and I would expect restraint from the CUKer's should that be the case.
