While there's no doubt that Brexit uncertainty was a major factor, surely the fact that engineering is more highly valued in Germany would be the main factor. In Britain we look down on engineering and prize the financial sector far more highly. Making money is more important than making goods. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shareholders may be trying to oust him. Quote Pubs boss Tim Martin has suffered a slapdown from City advisory firms that are urging JD Wetherspoon shareholders to reject several motions at the company's AGM next week. Investor adviser Pirc has said Martin should not be re-elected as chairman because, as founder and a 32 per cent shareholder, he is not 'independent' enough for the job. Glass Lewis is against Wetherspoon's pay scheme, under which its finance boss Ben Whitley has been given an 11 per cent pay rise to £192,000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The review should be full of pie charts, bar charts, line graphs and clip art diagrams that treat me like a five year old. That way as a shareholder I only have to spend ten seconds deciding if I want to stick with Wetherspoons. Oops. I seemed to have used a lot of words here. Sorry.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 To the posters who keep reporting Malky3 - please stop it. You might not agree with his opinions (I certainly don't) but him posting them does not break any of the forum rules, including spamming. If you don't want to see any more of his posts (or anyone else's for that matter), remember you can hover over their profile picture and click the [Ignore] button. @Malky3 - if you want to quote several posters, you can do it in a single post by clicking the [+] button to the left of the button beside each post you want to quote.

The English are quite happy to be British/English and as long as we Jock, Taff, Mick go along with what the motherland wants and they'll throw the odd scrap/title to some then woohoo, let's have a party ; but as soon as anyone disagrees or gets uppity or makes life a tad difficult for the Guvnors - right off you go ; we don't need or want you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Grauniad FFS. You have to take 50% of what cheerleaders like them and The Express say with a shovelful of salt. They are quoting "a GP" Dr Nick Mann - who appears to post on Hackney Momentum Youtube channel. Plus a Tony O'Sullivan of the Keep Our NHS Public lobby group. The factors quoted in the 6th last para certainly sound worrying - although I confess I don't know what "manufacturing diversion" and "parallel exporting" is. But I do know that one could hazard a guess that these 2 individuals might just not be dispassionate and objective in assessing Brexit impacts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
