Found a model that works for me and still surprised more people dont do it tbh

Is that legal?

told you sounds a little nigerian lottery winner stylee

I think its just a twist on most property investment type projects most people do, however i found people tend to stick to what they know and even those close to me who see me making money tend to go back to the same old same old rather than try it

I suppose like most business its those who are willing to risk a little

Question for Corbyn and Remain fans....

Would you prefer:

1. Democratically elected Corbyn and democratically voted for Leave both continue on.

2. For neither to happen - Corbyn ousted and Article 50 refused by parliament?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a Bremainer, I'd still say that failing to agree to trigger Article 50 would be an absolute disaster for British politics and society, unless there was an extended period of negotiation with the EU first preceding a further referendum on the agreed terms of the relationship between the two parties post-exit (which isn't going to happen).

Basically, the decision, however people feel about it (personally, fecking absolutely terrible) has been made.

If there was some kind of magic wand that would change people's mind on our relationship with the EU, as a lifelong socialist and core supporter of Corbyn, I'd still see him leave and the Labour Party enter into further turmoil for us to stay in Europe.

My mind hasn't changed that holding the referendum in the first place has been the biggest mistake in modern British political history, and the cost of it will be felt by the British people in particular for decades.

But our bed has been made (he says, having emigrated to Portugal in May )

At the end of the day this EU debate/blame game has done a great job of distracting people once again from the people who are gneuinely bleeding this country dry.

Just another example of public funds being raaped for corporate gain. In or out of the EU our real problem has always been this and we've just handed more power to the people who are most guilty of it.

Education standards, because of what you've described there, are falling.

More schools and academies are just doing the bare minimum, with extravangances the norm.

Kids go to a state run secondary comprehensive, teachers were canvassing for a trip to New Hampshire in the States for bloody skiing. Talk about actually making cliques and differentiation between haves and have nots that schools are supposed to stamp out.

A conference with Lord digby Jones last year, he said due to schools not being properly concerned with educating, some kid working under a street light in China will be the future of the western world.

I'm sure he'll be quite close to the mark.

One day the sun will expand and all the oceans will boil and earth will end up a scorched rock. Then it will collapse back down and earth will become a frozen hell with just a pinprick of a light where the sun we know used to be.

Get the rounds in now, the future is bleak.

It's going to get pretty tiresome, everyone blaming Brexit for something they were going to do anyway. Saying it's because interest rates will be too low, even though it's been the case for several years already.

You've given them the perfect excuse

Next? Outsourcing

Next is Barclays...they will kick all their senior staff working in their branches and replaced by 16k/14k salaried workers and machines.

The change is already happening.

===================================
There lies the problem with our pro Brexit friends.
First of all it was the so called lies of project fear, when people said jobs would be lost, due to the prospect of Britain leaving the EU, now that seems to be becoming true, they say this is also a lie, and these jobs were going anyway.

posted on 28/7/16

To be honest those jobs mentioned above were going anyway, whether it's Brexit or Bremain.. Remember all those redundancies at the HMRC well before referendum.

Didnt George say the economy was slowing on the lead up to the vote?

Read what I said

Osbourne said it was slowing LEADING UP TO the vote.

A lie

posted on 28/7/16

Not sure what those who voted remain want to prove here. The fact is remain lost the vote. If they are British do they want us to face strife so that they can be proven right? Cutting of your nose to spite your face? Or is it difficult accepting both sides exaggerated the outcomes? Are those who voted for Brexit suddenly going to change their minds? The reality is there is going to be some sort of Brexit. Now if they suspend Schengen and bring in immigration controls because of other threats, the out come will be the same.

The EU is devolving because of the Euro. At some point soon those in the EU who have independent currencies have to decide whether they will join the political union that has to take place to stop the Euro crisis or to join those with different arrangements with their own currency.

It's not exactly far fetched though, is it? Banks aren't exactly known for their openness and honesty, are they? You're very naive if you think they wouldn't do this.

Banks have been getting rid of people in place of machines for years same as supermarkets, nothing to do with brexit

Wouldn't attribute this to Brexit really. (I'm firmly on the remain side).

This is expected given how no one really bothers to use branches any more.

On a wider scale this will happen more though. The UK will lose more and more of these types of jobs as technology makes them redundant or allows them to be moved to places with dirt cheap labour overseas.

It's at this time all countries like the UK will need to bring in legislation to protect the average worker rather than allow companies to squeeze them out for a little more profit - and we have the Tories in charge
