'UK will never have own sovereignty!' Cable in Brexit rant against 'crashing' out of EU
Express
Express
THE UK will never gain full sovereignty however much it fights with Brexit, according to Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable. Sir Vince said the UK needed to abide by some European Court of Justice rules to agree the rights of European Union nationals in Britain and UK expats living within the Brussels bloc. The party leader added “crashing out” of the bloc without a trade deal and falling onto World Trade Organisation rules would also not give Britain any new control. Read the full story

7-23-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat in the past all the news was about fighting ISIS. Now we see a complete turnaround. This is itself tells us that the remaining terrorists are not of our concern. All the news is about the economy and most of it is from the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). The CBI is priming the pump for something in the near future. Who are all these articles intended for?
In the order of priority:
· GOI (to keep the Govt of Iraq informed of its actions)
· Future Investors (to communicate to the world that Iraq has changed)
· Citizens (popular crowd) (to inform then of the country’s monetary policies and progress)
· Foreign speculators (yes – this is us...)

7-22-2017 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...in recent past...our friend indicated that the 21st was to be the beginning if you will of what is in my opinion a new rate to be reflected in the citizens pay seen by the last Friday of the month. Things will have to have been in place prior to the purchasing power they'll receive, cha Ching cha Ching!
7-22-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 Had reports that airports are no longer exchanging at the airport kiosks and referring people to banks. Why did they stop? Told they received instructions. Where did the instructions come from? Told they got it from the International Currency Exchange, ICE. Guess they have something to do with the currency exchange kiosks. Appears they have some kind of controlling authority. And why did they do that? We learned it was due to a large volume of exchange activity they are doing...expecting, so they are referring people to banks. CURRENT WINDOW: I'm still okay with tomorrow, Monday.

7-22-2017 Newshound Guru mike [ I can't believe some didn't see that Mosul was a big obstacle that had to be overcome...and that it was a "key" point.] I'm one of those guys who don't think it was an obstacle. Obviously, having your second largest city occupied by terrorists isn't ideal, but the terrorists are still in Iraq. Nothing will happen with the economy until they get off the socialist agenda and open up the economy, there are no shortcuts. The GOI, Keywords and anyone else can say whatever platitudes sound nice, they still need the freedom of movement of capital, get control of the growing spread between the market and street rates, deposit insurance, economic laws and the list goes on. None of these issues have been addressed and corrected yet. Mosul doesn't address any of that. Pass the laws that enable foreign investment and things will change.
